and its also not properly weighted for height. at 6'5", I can be unhealthily thin and shown as 'nearly overweight"

yea, as a 6'5" 210lb guy, i hate BMI.

I have a bit of extra padding, but can run a 6 minute mile, and i have a 'normal' amount of body fat, with plenty of muscle... but since muscle is heavy, im in the overweight category according to BMI.

This is what happens when we view driving as a right, instead of a privilege. People hear someone lost their license and say 'that's horrible, how they will get around'

Just match the American tariffs. They will end up doing the same thing as they did with China: end up backing off.

Genuinely seen conspiracy theorists say "they removed lead paint to that they can control you with 5g"

If we still had lead gasoline, people would say you can pry it out of their cold dead hands

yea, im happy to have him over PP, but wish we hand the NDP as the Official Opposition instead of the Cons.

Yes, but most of them were things like shortening the legs, growing out the hair, changing their gait, and adding "fidget" algorithms.

Not major cosmetic changes, and as he says a security would still identify him as a sec unit, but making it so the meatbags... Err, humans, are less likely to notice.

ARTs modifications helped, but he did walk around prior to receiving them. ART adjusted his height, how his hair grew, ect, but didn't fundamentally change his looks.

Its more of the same. I'm loving it, but it definitly different than the books

I don't agree they look totally 'non-human', since they are able to pass as human security consultant with little to no changes to their appearance. Heavily augmented, but human enough to pass with little more than a heavy sweater/hoodie and a cap.

Honestly, i love the way everyone of the Corporation Rim dismisses Preservation, they are a bunch of backwater hippies... and the fact they do have a working and strong economy just shows how wrong the CR is.

Yea, I wish they were both more military look (shorter hair, more armor), and more androgynous... but it was one of the changes i expected to make it work with modern TV.

my wife and I are limiting ourselves to one episode a night, or else we would binge all 6 episodes in one night! we are so desperate that we re-started the series all ready, watching episode 1 after finishing episode 3!

yea, i feel like the 'humanized' all the characters, including Dr Mensah and Murderbot, and added more relationship drama... but the changes feel solid, not changes for the sake of change.

yea,

The books are all novellas, with All Conditions Red only being 160 pages, so im not surprised how short the episodes were. I wish they had adapted the first two books, as 8 1 hour episodes, but loving what they did!

yea, the books are great. My wife and i are really looking forward to the introduction of our favorite character 'A.R.T.'

Yea, its very accurate, a lot of it is word for word, and the character adaptations are great.

They definitely padded it to hit 8 episodes of 45 minutes each (ie, in the books to confirm the map is wrong they all go, including Murderbot, and Mensah doesn't go on a solo exploration), but defiantly feel more like expanding the world than useless padding.

It appears they define 'terrorist' as 'anyone who is a terrorist, or knows a terrorist, or has family members that is a terrorist, or knows someone whose family member is a terrorist, or knows someone who is friends with someone whose family member is a terrorist, or is a reporter"

In the end, its a land grab, they want to take West Bank over.

Basically just my steam lists.

I'm losing track of books, and started tracking them, but games tend to hang around longer, since they take me longer to get through.

That's great!

Couldn't work a Chrisjen/Averserala in there?
