everyone talks about the callousness of kevin’s first question being “can you play?” but. he grew up in the Nest, where he and jean were beaten routinely and stitched each other back together. (i also feel like we talk about neil’s first aid skills and never kevin’s, which he surely has, but that’s another post.) and in the Nest, that was the most important question. “can you play?” that’s all we’re good for. that’s all we have.

and it’s not much different with neil. yes, neil is hurt. but he could be dead—he will be dead at the end of the year. and he gave kevin his game, which means kevin is responsible. it’s “all for the game.” exy is neil’s LIFE.

would we rather kevin asked if neil was okay? “how are you?” wouldn’t that be the stupidest question ever? of course he’s not okay. three weeks in the Nest, torture at the hands of his father and his cronies. neil is not “okay” but we all his answer will be “i’m fine” just like we all know it’s the only lie he can’t pull off.

when neil can’t play, kevin is strict about his health. “you’re no use to us if you push yourself and end up needing another week to recover.” (or something like that)

.

“jean, you’re bleeding, stay still, press here, shh, can you play?” tears in he stitches up his best friend and only ally at fourteen. his eyes are dry five years later. this is old hat. there’s eight hours till scrimmage and they must be on the court. if jean can’t play, he needs to think of something. cover for him. take whatever blows riko decides are worthy punish enemy for his absence on his behalf.

“neil, can you play?” have i failed my end of the bargain? will you live? (because being able to play becomes synonymous with neil, kevin, and jean’s survival.) do you still have something worth living for?

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

What to Ask a Solar Company Before You Commit

Choosing to go solar is a long-term investment — one that should deliver both savings and sustainability. But before jumping in, it’s critical to ask the right questions. A trusted solar installer will welcome your curiosity. The answers you get will help you separate polished sales talk from genuine expertise.

Let’s explore the essential questions that will help you make an informed decision.

What is the 20% Rule for Solar Panels?

You might hear companies talk about the “20% rule.” It’s a guideline suggesting that covering roughly 20% of your roof with solar panels could offset an average home’s energy needs.

However, this is a rough estimate. The right coverage depends on:

How much power you typically use

Your roof’s size and shading

The panels’ efficiency

Avoid companies that rely solely on templates. The best solar providers use digital tools and onsite assessments to tailor your system design to your property and consumption habits.

How Many kW of Solar Do I Need?

Every household is different — and so is its energy profile. Ask your installer to calculate your system size based on:

Monthly energy usage

High-load appliances (AC, geysers, induction stoves)

Daytime vs. nighttime power consumption

Any plans to expand usage (like adding an EV)

Most reliable solar partners will study your past power bills before offering a kW estimate. Don’t settle for guesstimates.

7 Questions About the Installer

Knowing who’s installing your panels is just as important as choosing the right hardware. Ask your installer:

Are you certified or approved by local authorities?

How long have you been in the solar business?

Can you provide project photos or referrals?

Will I have a single point of contact for updates?

Do you check roof health before starting?

What happens if I need repairs or upgrades later?

How fast do you respond to service calls?

A genuine company will answer clearly and give you written references or documentation.

7 Questions About Solar Equipment

Make sure you’re investing in reliable components that will serve you for 25+ years. Ask:

What panel brand are you offering?

Is it Tier 1 or government-approved (like BIS-certified)?

What’s the panel efficiency and degradation rate?

Which inverter models do you install?

Will I be able to track my solar production?

Do you offer hybrid or battery storage options?

Why did you choose these brands?

Quality matters more than price when it comes to long-term solar savings.

Questions on Installation Process

Transparency during installation prevents surprises. Ask your installer:

How long does installation typically take from start to finish?

Will I need to make changes to my roof or structure?

Do you handle all approvals, including net metering?

Will someone guide me through the documentation?

What does the testing and handover process look like?

Choose a provider who walks you through every step and explains everything before starting work.

How to Spot a Solar Scam

With so many new players entering the solar market, it’s easy to get caught in flashy deals. Here are signs something might be off:

Too-good-to-be-true savings guarantees

Urging you to “book today” with no time to decide

Quotes given without site inspection

Little to no online presence or customer reviews

Vague details in contract or warranty terms

When in doubt, stick with verified solar panel distributors in Coimbatore who have a strong track record and transparent processes.

Final Thoughts: Ask, Understand, and Then Decide

The more questions you ask, the more confident you’ll be about your solar investment. A reliable solar company will educate you, not rush you. When your installer is as committed to performance as you are, solar stops being a gamble — and becomes a guaranteed win.

do you think Shadow can just grow back limbs like a weird lizard?

[wardensantoineandevka]

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
