00 is also pretty good, basically a refined version of the Wing concept, and IBO is great.

I'll be the requisite "Build Fighters is actually pretty good" chime in

G Gundam was the best. Horse mecha! Piloted by.... a HORSE!

I'd probably recommend tracking down 0080 War in the Pocket to go along with your new collection, but you might have enough to watch for right now.

G Gundam will likely always rank first for me, as it is the one I find the most fun, but 8th MS was great for being the most "realistic" of the UC stuff.

the only other gundam series ive watched-which was also the FIRST gundam series i watched-is wing (and ill probly get that on blu ray soon too). i know i havent watched everything tied to it, but the UC is quite enough for me lol

i think 8th team is my favorite, but cant say why. maybe it has something to do with them not being newtypes. i dont particularly like that concept

8th M Team, 0083, and Zeta are my favorites of the original timeline. Have yet to watch Origin, but it is loooow on my list, as I never particularly liked Char. Quattro Bajeena was actually kinda cool, though.

so i just did something insane. i bought gundam origin, first gundam, 08th ms team, operation stardust, zeta gundam AND chars counterattack on bluray...

Hollywood stereotypes, eh? Don't get me started on how sheerly unrealistic that can be, and how badly Hollywood loves to stick to them.

Also, fun fact: To me, Dutch is the language that sounds harsh compared to German.

Generally, nobody shouts at each other in Germany unless they're either a) morons or b) doing it for comedic effect.

... based on an outdated way of speaking (I mean, does anyone in the US still speak like Joe Friday?)... which might also have been at least partially a regional thing.

Generally, many native English speakers' primary conception of the German language and its perceived harshness comes from Hollywood movies... created by non-native German speakers, with non-native German actors giving their impression of what they think the German language sounds like...

I might be severely biased, but as a native German speaker, I think the perception of the "harsh German language" is at least in part due to a myth created by Hollywood.

I wish I knew if that Blue autobot in the background in the movie Bumblebee was Blurr.

Blood is blue before coming into contact with air from outside.

I had to use a whole ten percent of my brain to understand that.

I think I saw a debunking of that like at least a decade ago when I still relied on TV for things.

isn't the whole "lemmings jump to their death" thing proven false now too???

It's like how the whole "alpha male" thing doesn't really show up in wolf packs in the wild.

Aaaaand another myth busted.

Quite welcome!

@Corvus Huh, did not know that part. Thanks for imparting knowledge!

No because it's true.

Would I be jaded if i said that's a good lesson about people as well?

Overstated risk. Most observations of sexual cannibalism in the Praying Mantis occurred in captivity, versus nature. When entomologists began observing them in nature instead, they found that sexual cannibalism took place around 30% of the time. Basically, if a male Mantis avoids thin, hungry females, his chances are pretty good. #yesimanerd

Are you a male mantis?

Death by snu snu

There's a joke about going out with a bang to be made here.

I would hope getting laid is preferred over dying

Don't we all want to get laid?

I'd spend the first few loops just taking an extended nap.

Endless death time loops certainly happen enough in Star Trek

That's not what I had in mind but if that is what you would do in that scenario then that is pretty messed up. I would not want to be stuck in a perpetual loop of death. More like getting laid but that is just me.

Happy death day to you!

.... I would love that. To be stuck in an endless loop where no one remembers what happened... The possibilities

Are you stuck in a Groundhogs Day situation? Because if you are, you need to tell the rest of us so we can take advantage, too.

Lol today needs to end asap so that I can start over tomorrow

They frequently do, but yeah there's no rule. Google will usually answer it for a specific restaurant, though

Depends on the restaurant and the area. There's no universal rule about it.

I thought restaurants were one of the few things that stayed open on holidays, along with movie theatres and the like

Well here I am hungry on a Sunday afternoon and I head to Chipotle only to find out right then and there that the place is closed for Easter. Yay.

oof, yikes. Good luck.

We're in the middle of a kitchen reno and NOTHING will be done until tuesday. I could beat a four day weekend with a hammer right now if it meant I could use my stove again.

Can't beat 4 day weekends either.

I prefer later shifts myself, but my 3 day weekend shift isn't bad. Nice to work without those administration busy bodies poking around.

Yeah, traffic is a plus as well. Rarely got any trouble getting to work on late shift (even with the neverending construction site on the highway), and when my shift is over, there's hardly any traffic at all anymore.

while I don't have weekends consistently off, working 2nd shift isn't so bad. I'm more likely to do stuff before work than after (when I'm already tired). Plus no rush hour traffic

Switching shifts constantly is never good for one's health. There was a time when I worked overnights steady for about 2 years; did wonders for my health, as well
