  1. This or changing the VA of the character is likely the right move, but, as I haven’t watched the Netflix doc, I just want to clarify: it’s the white VA using the accent that is the main problem/issue, correct? Would this really be solved by an Indian-American doing the accent instead? Not the same at all, obviously, but, I remember seeing a “behind the scenes” with The Daily Show awhile back with Ronny Chieng. Ronny has a very thick Chinese accent and was talking about how he has been attacked by people on the internet for it with things like “I get you’re a Chinese immigrant, but do you have to do that over-the-top accent? It’s really offensive” and in the interview/video, Ronny’s response to everyone is “I’M NOT DOING AN ACCENT! THIS IS REALLY HOW I TALK!”.
  2. I nearly died laughing when the arena erupted in boos during the Crown Jewel ad.
  3. You should drive one for shits and giggles The Ecosport is a strange car... it was developed for South America and Europe years ago but is just now coming to the US. It’s interior was updated for this model year and is a template of how all of Ford’s vehicle interiors will look in the next 2-3 years. There are better options for compact SUVs out there. The Edge or Escape are both great options, though.
  4. I sure did! It’s nice and it comes with 5 years of maintenance (oil changes, etc) standard - they even come to you and drop off a loaner and pick your car up. Interior quality is top notch, ride quality, handling and acceleration seemed great too, plus, it’s got almost everything you could want: HUD, navigation, Apple car play, android auto, heated steering wheel, heated/cooled seats, 360 back-up camera, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, remote start, blind spot monitoring and back-up sensors, heated rear seats, etc. The only omissions (imo), which I thought were odd, are a powered trunk (auto open and auto close via the key fob and/or a button) and massaging seats. Overall, I do like my Mustang better, but this may have been in my #2 spot, definitely #3 at the lowest (competing with the Audi S4/S5).
  5. The VA for Maud didn’t die, the VA moved away and at the time they didn’t have the tech to do her recordings (at quality) remotely. She asked for a raise to justify traveling but they decided to just kill her off instead. Anyway, you may have been thinking of Mrs. Krabappel.
  6. TBF, Apu’s “stereotypical line” for Indians originated from Apu, didn’t it?
  7. That depends entirely on how much you want to spend A Toshiba X300 128mb cache 7200rpm or Seagate Barracuda 256mb cache 7200rpm are probably the best bang for your buck. Next would be Western Digital 7200rpm Black or Blue series. I’m not sure if an SSHD (hybrid SSD HDD) would be worth the extra money over a 7200rpm drive as I’d imagine the bandwidth of USB 3.0 would give diminished returns on the potential speed difference. 10,000rpm drives are also available but Also, the dock is not complicated at all, you plug the dock into the USB 3.0 port of your Xbone and into an AC outlet, stick an HDD in, and you’re done!
  8. That 4tb external is 5400rpm laptop drive, using the dock with a high-cache 7200rpm drive will offer transfer speeds over 33% faster. You can’t really compare the price of the WD Passport/Elements external hdd to a 7200rpm internal: you’d need to compare it to 7200rpm external drive.
  9. This is what I have: Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5" or 3.5"' HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-UBLB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GJ3P3B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hEl1Bb6ZHZB21
  10. Honestly, it's just horny. Put some porn on the sucker and it'll calm right down.
  11. I want to add to this that, considering the country and region, if WWE's lawyers didn't force several "out" clauses to any contract including things like "political tension" then WWE has the worst lawyers on the face of the Earth, and that includes Rudy Guilianni. Don't give faux justification to them via excuses like "but they'll get sued!" - that's not why WWE is still going, they're still going because per SA show they get 3-4x the profit over ANY WrestleMania (the highest grossing WM pulled in around $14 million, the Greatest Royal Rumble reportedly pulled in somewhere between $40-50 million).
  12. As others have said, it's normal as the HDD is in its standby mode, however, I would recommend grabbing a USB 3.0 dock and using a 7200+rpm internal 3.5" drive. Your load speeds will be greatly increased over the (generally) super slow external drives like the WD passport, plus, internal HDDs are fairly cheap and you can keep multiple to pop-in and pop-out of the dock.
  13. I think I said in another thread already that WWE absolutely should not go and I’m tempted to cancel my network subscription. Doing the right thing here reeeeally isn’t all that hard, IMO. Even UFC cancelled their SA deal.
  14. That’s the minimum, doesn’t include ticket and merchandise sales. The Greatest Royal Rumble allegedly made over $40 million.
  15. Set up your Xbone X while leaving your Xbone plugged in, if you have some ethernet cables you can transfer over all your data quickly and not need to redownload anything. On a side note, the Xbone X version is apparently the one to get - native 4k res (no upscaling), no framerate/frame-timing dips.
  16. I should probably finish Assassin's Creed: Oddysee first... BUT... Something tells me I'll go full-in on RDR2 and wind up never going back to ACO
  17. But what if you just went overboard with your self-tan cream and thought “might as well go full Dolezal”?
  18. Megyn Kelly has always been absolutely awful. Liberals were idiots for rallying around her as if she was some innocent progressive stuck at Fox because she argued with and was attacked by Trump at one of the primary debates. I have to give her credit for riding that ridiculous wave to an absurd contract at NBC, though.
  19. It was being speculated by journalists that they would/could move it to Manchester as the Raw after Crown Jewel will be held there, but that was all.
