Cassian seems to also have a disbelief that he is still alive himself. His character is very “jumpy” with a "how did I survive that? " sort of feeling.

I am only on the first episode of the second season, but the amount of luck he’s had so far has kept me at the edge of my seat.

Quality of the subtitles depend on the company the production company contracted out the subtitles to be created by.

The company that puts together the subtitle file does so using the provided script with time stamps provided.

If multiple languages are needed the production company hires companies to do the translation, and other companies might be hired to put together those subtile files for those specific languages they specialize in.

Some companies in some regions may have multiple departments that specialize in two or more of these feilds.

Delux entertainment for example does audio mixing and also has a subtitle department.

There can be many different companies involved. For example audio houses usually do the audio mixing. When you looks at the credits on Netflix shows you will see the credits for many different audio houses doing the mix for different regions and languages they specialize in.

Similarly subtitles are produced by many third party companies contracted to do the transitions of the provided scripts. Generally the scripts already have time stamps in them of when the audio happens as well.

Audio and visual production has many different companies and professionals coming together all around the world to put shows and movies together. Especially when these shows or movies are released in different regions.

An analogy is a contractor building a house. The contracting company hires out all aspects of the construction process to professionals that specialize in building the house. You have framers, drywallers, HVAC installers, plumber’s and so on.

Marty, you’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally!

Privatization and then closure, blaming lack of profitability.

National postal service is a public service just like public transportation. It is not meant to be profitable on its own. Ita existence alone is profitable as a service to the community and country.

Public services should not have a necessity to “operate in the green”, these are public funded services with government tax funding.

Edit: Public roads like highways are publicly funded. You don’t see car companies building infrastructure for consumer to have a place to drive their car products.

Micro plastics form from all types of plastic very slowly. It a kind of shedding of the plastic as it breaks down but can also happen faster with abrasion.

For example each time you use a toothbrush the plastic bristles shed micro plastics, or each time you open a plastic water bottle microplastics are released.

When a plastic bottle ends up in the ocean it will circulate for a long time, releasing microplastics, and also slowly disintegrating into multiple peices.

Most PCs no longer have floppy disk readers or CD drives, where are they going to put the placebo or drugs in. /s

“It goes up/down at least once a day.”

That’s what she said!

Solar glass yes. Solar blinds I don’t know of anything that would be thin and flexible enough to roll and unroll everyday.

There are some think flexable solar panels, but nothing that I seen that you could use as a replacement blind in a roller blind.

Take a look into solar glass, you can retrofit some of these products right onto existing windows on the inside.

The one advantage to sollar glass is you don’t have to keep your blinds down all the time especially if you want to enjoy a sunny day.

Tariffs = Taxs

A tax that is paid by ultimately the consumers of a product.

This “tax” is collected by the local government from local importers. Importers pass the costs of this tax on to local consumers. Other countries do not pay the “hard costs”.

To make American great again implies one of two things.

1. It needs to get worse before it gets better.
2. It currently is not, or was not great.

I hate how acurate this might be :(

I still blame the Devil for the friction between my legs and nutsack.

Strange, I would think electricity would be a sign of the Devil.

I would also blame the Devil for friction and static.

This is why good infrastructure that is people focused is a win for everyone.

Everyone wins here including drivers with clear roadways and proper clear rules/signage.

Aww, soooo close to it fully sinking.

This group will soon be shut down by DOGE, in three, two, one.
