I'm somewhat convinced those first few episodes are designed to condition the watcher to be able to enjoy that thanksgiving episode...

If you’re talking about The Fishes episode,that’s a traditional Christmas Eve dinner.

[pechelman]

Ah, yes, thanks @Jett129 that's the one. It's been a minute since we watched.

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman nailed it. And those events and associated trauma are important to the show

[Matt]

Yeah, I think I’ll pass. Sounds like there’s no vampires. I’m out.

[mclaincausey]

Oh plenty of emotional vampires

[popvulture]

Haha I think diving right into the Fishes episode would be like smoking PCP for your first drug experience. Definitely ease in with some preliminary episodes.

Man. The new Sonos app is a case study in how not to release a product “upgrade.” Just shocking functional regression and the performance is really bad: laggy and frustrating to deal with and lacking the utmost bare minimum queue management capabilities.

It’s really shocking that such a huge piece of shit made it through layers of design, design testing, QA, user acceptance testing, and approvals for release. Just so many failures had to occur. It smells like someone in corporate leadership forcing a deadline.

@mclaincausey - amen, brother!

The Bear was so good. I found myself rooting for Ritchie by the end of season 2 and not caring about anyone else. Looking forward to season 3.

@chrisjohnnick Couldn’t agree more,both my wife and I felt that way. As far as two amazing back to back episodes go…Fishes and then Forks. Those are our 2 favorites.

Why the bullshit always come a couple days before a big trip!!?
AC been making a grinding noise when it shuts down. Been doing it for years actually. Had another company out last summer and he said it was near the end of its life. New company came out today. Said the system needs replacing. Quoted $15,000 mutherfukkng dollars!!! For a compressor and new coil!!

[Giles]

Move to UK. We dont know what AC is.......

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle that sounds high if they’re not doing duct work.

Weather Changers put a new system in our last home for WAY less than that if you want to give them a jingle.

Just looked it up: $6400 for a Bryant system with a humidifier and a new circuit. We continued with our existing furnace and no duct work was required, just condenser, coil, etc.

@Giles y’all also don’t know what the sun is

[tody]

@mclaincausey but they have 97 words for different sorts of rain!

[goosehd]

I can’t wait to take the kids to the UK and explain to them, that they are not seeing vampires…they’re just English.

I work in industrial/commercial hvac so I don't have as much knowledge on residential side but that's out of whack

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE @mclaincausey
Yup! Seems absurd to me too. Have another company coming out tomorrow. Hoping for a better prognosis. Thing is is that I’ve used the company from today before and they’ve always been great and honest (as far as I know).

Fingers crossed tomorrow goes more reasonably.

@Giles I know it’s probably not always as lovely as it sounds right now, but right now, that sounds heavenly!!
