Hmm, just added it to my watchlist. That sounds interesting and gonna give it a try and see what I think. I've never heard of it before but seems like something I'd like,.
I started watching it last night... I always liked the original, but not in a "fan" sort of way... I'm thinking if I hadn't seen the original I probably would like the new one more, because now that's "canon" sort of and I have an idea what stuff is supposed to be like.
I think one of the distracting things is the actor playing Spike, John Cho is almost 50 years old, where in the cartoon he seems to be in his late twenties... maybe if I hadn't known that, I'd buy him as Spike more readily...
But yeah, basically I've got the same assessment... some stuff is better and some stuff is too "off"... but I guess they explain some stuff the anime didn't.
When you are done with Cowboy Bebop, you might want to check out Space Sweepers (on Netflix too)... it's kinda in the same genre, but it also sorta has an 80s feel to it... a little cheesy/hokey/over-the-top, but funish... like the original Total Recall or Robocop.
I guess you use the paper type lawn bags?... I can see where that would be a huge problem, especially since the bag bottoms might deteriorate because of contact with the damp ground before they pick them up.
People around here use plastic bags for their leaves, but I don't put mine out for collection... the open area of my yard is an acre and that's too much material to bag, so instead, I collect everything with my tractor and mulch the hell out of it and dump it in woods on the paths... since it's mostly oak leaves, it acts a little like bark mulch in that it mildly acts like a barrier to weeds... but it still decomposes.
It's weird how much bulk is reduced by grinding/mulching... one year my tractor broke down late in the season and I couldn't easily get parts, so at one point I used a pickup truck to move the leaves into the woods... just one week's worth of leaves was 8 compacted bed loads, and the pickup had extended bed... ground up, that's probably only 8-10, ten cubic foot wheel barrow loads, which visually looks like nothing in comparison... I can't imagine how many bags I'd use to bag un-mulched leaves.
When my in-laws lived in Naperville, Illinois the town there used to pick up the leaves with vacuum trucks... people would just rake everything into big piles by the curb and every week the town would pick it up.
Fancy.
On the other hand I'm always complaining about how tiring leaf collecting is, and apparently up until last year my 82 year old uncle in Connecticut was doing two acres by himself... I didn't know until my aunt told me he finally decided to hire someone because it was too much to keep up... I was like "Whaaaaa?"... Dang that's dedication... but apparently he's a golfer and very attached to his grass, which is a special variety... Zoysia grass which he planted years ago and takes meticulous care of.
I have a special variety of Crap Grass (Poa crappyus) , which I assume was mostly planted by sociopathic possums some time in the early 50s.
Well, I hope your bagged leaves remain intact until they are picked up... good luck.
I found an easier way to deal with the grass and the leaves, thanks to my neighbour...
Moved here in 1999, and the place had been vacant for some years with the yard in it's natural state. Started small, moving the pathways and then some with a small mower and it was enough for me.
Then, after a couple of years 'the man' of the house next to me said his wife didn't like the overgrown look of my property and as I found a cheap ride-on mower, I started mowing the whole thing (1 acre) and the neighbour's wife was so happy that he started borrowing my mower to do theirs too... Returning it broken almost every time...
Then came 2010, was working long hours 7 days a week, trying to keep the company afloat and my neighbour called... "When are you going to fix your mower (that he broke), because I need to borrow it..."
Ever since I have let my lawn return to its natural state, don't know if they divorced and moved away because of it, but now I get no complaints and don't have to stress about mowing or raking (exept the forests)
Naturally, I live alone with the mice out in the sticks.
Oh I thought you had a broken "meower" not a broken mower.
Oh the 'meower' left me some 15+ years ago, that's why I have mice now
I was having difficulty understanding the readings I had for an English class. I struggled reading but with my mild dyslexia I had difficult. I just had a eureka moment. I have found out I can use YouTube to help me understand. I am right now watching trifles play by Susan Glaspell as I needed to understand this play so I can do a power point for it.
I used to bag the grass when I mowed it and bring it to the landfill. In the Fall, I'd just go over the leaves and behind me it looked like a good vaccuum cleaner path through dirt. I liked it. Much easier than raking and bagging. And the blade chopped it up nicely. But they closed the landfill. So now I mulch the grass, but the leaves are a problem. We can't use plastic bags...they won't take them.

Can't you just compost the leaves (and grass cuttings)?
Its hard in quantity because technically you have stir up the compost for it to decompose properly... for a barrel sized amount that's a lot of work, but manageable... especially the containers that you can rotate easily, but when you are dealing with a larger amounts you need a tiller or some sort of machinery, and even then its kinda hard work.
Some leaves are harder to compost too... especially red oak which have very durable leaves (plus lots of tannin). Maples and sassafras rot by the spring... I've dug up oak leaves the have been in the ground for a couple of years and they are barely decomposed.
I was thinking of Cho earlier today.
...a broken meower usually means a trip to the purrologist.
...I do too at times .
I have a bunch of her old MFD textures that still work on the G3 MFD
...I solved the leaves thing altogether, moved to an apartment in town. Don't have to shovel snow (well when we ever get any) either.
I think there is a package on the front porch, but I'm in my bed not wanting to get up to check.
...I'd get it befrore it is stolen. package theft is becoming a serious matter.
No. I have neither the money (for bins or whatever tools are required), time, or inclination to do that.

True, but I got it inside now. It contained a lot of great goodies including Tetra goldfish flakes! I needed that as I was almost out! My two friends won't know that a crisis was averted as I doubt they knew how low I was on fish food.
I want a pterodactyl but I don't know why?
It might be a little difficult. You're late, about 150 million years.
Hmm, imported Dragon 3 with the importer script, had to track down the FBX manually since it wouldn't come over on its own... Almost all the morphs I selected came in fine, but some like the eyelid morphs and a few others didn't. Gonna have to do those part by part I guess. Lot of work now is a lot of time saved later though, like I said when compiling some of the environment sets into C4D Libraries so I wouldn't need to keep opening them manually! Lot of tedium loading and saving them each individually while also making sure each also has an Octane material preset along with it so I don't need to run conversions and material setups each time I use the props.
Just came back from a quick trip to Walmart to get a few things such as peanut butter, bananas, and pumpkin pie. I Also got some frozen spinach, English muffins and whip cream for the pumpkin pie!
I want to eat a slice of pumpkin pie now! But for now, I will wait!
edit: had to remove the name Leo, and also said the whole time at Walmart was a bit over an hour just to get 6 items! Most of the time felt like I was waiting to check out.
Probably the Flintstones influenced you subliminally... that or you saw some guy with a huge parrot on his shoulder and you thought, "Not big enough"... personally, I think pterodactyls are overrated... the smell funny, they are impossible to housebreak and they are always shrieking... what you really want is a Quetzalcoatlus... at least with a 45 foot wingspan, you can hang glide by hanging onto their feet.
(McGyver has found a way to crack me up in a good way!)
Non-complaint: Wheee... My Baby-Bear computer is out of the hospital. It was touch & go there for a while, but the errant new brain (sent off for expert appraisal, and found completely functional) has returned and has been re-implanted. After a few fizzle-starts, it finally came up for good, with my RAM running at full rated speed. Yay!
The problem appears to have been not the CPU or the Motherboard, but the RAM. Despite my trials of several sticks of "identical" (mfg,model,speed) 2666 speed RAM, the Ryzen5-5600G processor wouldn't POST, at all. Nothing, nada, nunca, zip. Power to the fans & lights but no apparent attempt to run or even bootloop. After having eliminated everything except the power supply and the RAM I took my Momma-Bear apart and stole the two 8GB sticks of 3200 speed RAM and tried that in Baby-Bear. It worked!
Perhaps its something about my particular motherboard and that particular CPU?
So temporarily, Momma-Bear is back to 2666 speed RAM and Baby-Bear is finally all "growed-up" testing out his new 3200 wheels.
The strangest thing just happened.
I seem to have a beekeeper infestation in my front yard. Is there some kind of spray or something I can buy?
@RichardHaseltine so is any thing being done about the lack of notifications on watched threads ? Should I make a ticket? It's lonely out here by myself ........
I haven't had any forum notifications since November 12!
It's a "RAID!"
You keep bees?... I didn't know that.
I have a question I've never remembered to look up or ask anyone who keeps bees...
I've noticed that most beekeepers have hive boxes with a bunch of different colors... I get that there seems to be significant differences between the top and bottom sections but at least the ones I've seen around here the middles seem to all be the same size more or less, yet are often a variety of colors... is that just random... like the beekeeper repaired it and red was all they had at the moment... they bought a used box that was green and they didn't repaint it... or is it because that section has some significance... like the queen is there or there's a tiny library or movie theater in that section... do the bees paint it when they get bored?... I've assumed it's a used hive box thing, because at least one of the local beekeepers whose hives I can see from the road, the sections look very mix & match, like some of the sections don't look like they are from the same source or builder, or some look significantly older or more worn.
but anyway, that's a cool interest.
