I can see a new version of the the ED:
Fly me to Mc D’s
And let me order a large fries
McFlurrys are best
with shakes and apple pies
My Quarter Pounder, super size
McNuggets, Szechuan Sauce please
Rei is falling/spinning on the right, as before, but she’s chasing a Big Mac under her head…
2·2 days agoSure, I’ll bite:
In 2024 up to week 50, there have been 45,447 deaths involving COVID-19. This is compared to 159,940 deaths involving flu or pneumonia and 2,892,661 deaths from all causes in the same time frame.

For comparisons sake, traffic accident deaths in the first three quarters of 2024 were 29,135.
I think that’s true of any kind of awards voting…
It’s kind of “majority rules” embodied…
2·2 days agoYou only read the first 5 words of the title?
I think the government has a good handle on COVID-19 now with more-or-less mass vaccination, so it’s not going to cause mass deaths and disabilities.
I’m more worried about H5N1 bird flu, more currently the affect it’s having on milk and egg prices (over USD$12/doz. yikes!) and the potential to mutate to direct human-to-human transmission.

What’s the mortality rate of bird flu?
Overall, the mortality (death) rate for bird flu in humans is high — historically, about half of all people with known infections have died. But most recent cases in the U.S. have been mild.
2·4 days agoBut does Trump really care about what the people think at this point?
He (probably) can’t run again, he’s got a high likelihood of dying in office, he’s got effective control over both houses of Congress and the SCROTUS.
Not to mention he’s appointing extreme loyalists to every major administrative department that he can get his tiny hands on.
He’s effectively dictator when he takes office.
1·4 days agoUrobochi is only listed as creator on this new episode 24.5, not a writer so 😕
The 2nd season was a huge disappointment.
I believe the departure of Gen Urobochi as a writer after S1 was its downfall.
Once again supporting the idea that Putin only wants Ukrainian capitulation and submission.,
Looks like something was trying to attack the ground drone.
Maybe a Russian flying drone dropping grenades?
The explosions seemed a bit small for mortar or artillery fire.
I agree that both cours of S2 weren’t great. It got sort of better in episodes 22 onwards, but not enough to make up for slogging through the confusing mush of 2 seasons worth of episodes.
I can understand introducing new characters because S2 started a number of years after the end of S1, on a completely different floor, etc.
But then the story doesn’t commit to it: The old gang of characters are brought in mid-story, reducing character development space for both old and new character, it’s just a mess.
IMO, one or two old characters showing up, and giving brief hints on what happened to the rest would be fine, but throwing all of them in there, and giving them more-or-less equal screen time, just didn’t work.
It’s probably a problem in the source manhwa, so not much the adaptation writers could do without wholesale changes.
Wow that’s really late.
Does anyone remember the where story left off at this point?
My apologies, I assumed that you lived in the United States, where 40% sewer coverage for a city would not be good.

He’s back in South Africa after a successful surgery, in a nursing facility, and experiencing severe nerve pain, for which he will need a pacemaker to survive the pain meds…
Only 40% sewers in your city?!?
What state is that in, may I ask, so I can never go there.
4·5 days agoWhat kind of broad gives directions to her place using nocturnal star navigation?
The kind who doesn’t want you to find them, that’s who.
I think having Barou drag around 2 defenders was hilarious!
I wonder what his real-life soccer analog would be?
It’s one thing to play hurt, it’s another to be a moving hazard to your fellow drivers.
Kanata should have retired, but this is a manga story with our invincible hero, right?
Americans train their kids to become engineers, but after they graduate, companies like Musk’s won’t hire them because foreign H1-B engineers work cheaper.
