Reply to comment by enough-rope in What are some r/movies tropes? by HotSwordfish23
Your first point is just a Lucky Ten Thousand problem… you’re never gonna run out of people discovering things for the first time, or people wanting to share this thing they just learned with others. That’s just people learning.
Replace Big Trouble with anything else, literally any other topic, and somewhere there will be someone moaning about how tired they are of hearing about a detail that is familiar to them, but not to others. Oh god, yes, everyone knows that the infinite tessellation of non-Euclidean space is a hyperbolic honeycomb, so sick of hearing about it.

Reply to There really isn't any reason why north is always upward and south is always downward on maps. by GuinnessTheBestBoi
It is much easier to compare maps and correctly identify features on maps when they are always in the same orientation.

Reply to comment by sheerfire96 in [Request] Portable Transistor Radio by sheerfire96
This is probably beyond what you want to do, but if you have a soldering pencil and some very basic knowledge of electronics it is pretty easy to add external antenna connections to a portable radio. There's lots of info on amateur radio sites about this, but it is usually just a matter of identifying the antenna connections on the circuit board, disconnecting the stock antenna, and soldering in the new one.
Antenna length is a function of wavelength. TL;DR, an ideal antenna is half the wavelength of whatever frequency you're listening to, which works out to about 1.5m for FM, and 100m for AM. Most inexpensive portable radios use 1/4 wavelength for FM (or less), and some clever stuff with wire coils for AM.
Most chip based receivers (even the cheap ones) are pretty reliable these days. If you're not getting good reception, take a look at the antenna.

It looks like I'll get the $1000 payment. I don't understand. Our friends make more than my wife and I make, pay similar taxes - generally a similar situation to us - and they're getting the full $1500. Good grief.

Based on how obese these cops are, it may be because walking up and down steps is too difficult.

Saying "I've changed" is a meaningless thing. How did he change? Did he take time to understand why he did what he did? What did he learn about himself? Did he tell you what character flaw led him down that path? What life changes did he make to ensure that he would never be tempted to do that again?
If the only thing he can point to are wholly external things, cutting contact with his affair partner, giving you access to all his electronic, those aren't really him changing anything. He didn't tell you about the cheating. She did. She either felt guilt for doing it or she was retaliating against him for breaking it off. Either way he didn't feel guilty for having done what he did, only for getting caught.
If all he can give you are the words "I've changed", you're insecurity is valid.
Now what? I think your boyfriend and you should consider couples counseling and your boyfriend should discuss why he did what he did.

When I read books with a ton of detail, I constantly flip back to pages I have read and reread them. Especially if seems like there is a discrepancy in what I am reading and what I have read.

Reply to comment by downthewell62 in SJC rules Mayor Wu had the authority to require municipal workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
Seriously, google "vaccine mandate", "collective bargaining", and either Becky Pringle or Randi Weingarten from the NEA and AFT. You'll find a lot of articles about the controversy over vaccine mandates for educators who didn't want to lose local bargaining power or agreed to a mandate in exchange for concessions. Randi fairly consistently said in summer 2021 that they would bargain for a mandate and did not support the idea initially until Delta was raging and the start of school approached.
This was a pretty big controversy in summer 2021. It's normal for a union to not want a mandate imposed on their members without gaining something.
