The spell Frieren gets from her is so wonderfully useless, I wonder if she took the spell book with her to the northern plateau just in case she met Frieren. Why else would she waste the space? Plus, she is really horny for short, cute girls.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: straight men are allowed to buy and wear sexy undies to both look and feel good. If you’re looking to upgrade your nethers, go to a gay underwear specialist, we have the best underwear.
That episode cracked me up. Frieren casts a spell that goes so god dammed hard, “spell says diamonds that way.”
Random miner: “you sure?”
Bitch, did you see that spell?!
And before that, we were doppelgangers that had stolen people’s children away: https://youtube.com/shorts/WH5zYErWmAQ
Meatloaf is simple, but yummy and filling.
Unfortunately BT’s systems are a hodge podge of different systems written and built over the last 40+ years, in various states of development from brand new, bleeding edge, to abandoned, running on an excel spreadsheet. To say the overall system was “designed” is to misunderstand the size and complexity of BT and its legacy systems. The fact that it works at all is a miracle borne out of the sweat and talent of great engineers hampered by busybody managers.
Twice. Once at the end of Final Fantasy IX, realising who was monologuing the ending at what that meant.
Second one was at the end of What Remains of Edith Finch, pretty much for exactly the same reasons.
There is also a survivorship bias at play here. Old appliances that are still in use are exactly the appliances where all the constituent parts were top quality, that have had the right maintenance, that have, against all odds, survived. Plenty of those old appliances didn’t survive.
Yes capitalism has done what it does to increase profitability and desirability, but there are still got quality appliances that last. They just usually don’t have the most features, or a luxury look. When I got a new fridge-freezer last year, the guy who installed it told me that he rarely saw that model returned or repaired, and when it was repaired, it was pretty cheap. He also said he’d never buy a smart fridge, so I felt vindicated in buying the simplest device on the market.
