As I said in the Weekly post, I feel that there are too many characters at this point. We have the characters from the current S2, we have the old team from S1 returning, Rachel running off with FUG(?), and even Rak the lizard guy is running around somewhere looking for his turtles.
The Workshop Battle is a looooong story arc, at 100 chapters, so I hope the story gets some focus soon.

Torrenting on Android does exist, but it's such a battery suck that seeding is unsustainable unless your mobile device is plugged in all the time. Which makes it not-so-mobile.
And then there's mobile plan data limits.

But trying to fight the RX-78 from the Zeon POV does sound vaguely interesting.

It looks like there are 2 kinds of brown things.
One type that is a lighter brown looks spheroid, possibly potatoes or dinner rolls.
Another type is a darker brown, looks like fat cylinders, possibly deep fried breaded fish/salmon/crab cakes, as others have said.
The lighter brown ones could also be fish/salmon/crab cakes, but from a different manufacturer, or just shaped differently.

I'm to figure out what "Santa Dodoria" means. It's what the TV station staff and the taxi driver refer to Momo's grandma, and her pseudonym/professional name.
"Santa" is "Saint (female)" in Portuguese, but according to a wiki, it's actually written in the kanji "三太" for which I can only guess "3rd eldest prince(ss)" as in "三太子"
"Dodoria" is written in katakana "ドドリア" indicating a foreign word, or the name of flora or fauna.
There's the Dragonball villain named "Dodoria" whose name is supposed to be a play on the Japanese word for the durian fruit, i.e. "Dorian" but that's about as far as I get.

Missiles can only do so much damage to a large structure like this bridge. IIRC, the Ukrainians have tried those before.
Even the famous truck full of explosives weakened the bridge, but it didn't go down.
It would take an absolutely huge amount of explosives to take the bridge down.

Netflix still does whole season drops of its original/exclusive shows (e.g. Kengan Ashura, TP-Bon, JoJoBA Stone Ocean), which kind of ruins the weekly episode anticipation slow burn.
A whole season is too much to digest, and without the weekly notifications, otherwise fine series just fade into the background.
Dungeon Meshi was an exception, for whatever reason that was released weekly.

But it's close. I measured closest to Breed with 60%, but the other candidates were all between 40-60%

> San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced Sunday that she’s lending some of her own staff to help the city’s troubled public school district, whose top official narrowly avoided termination just hours earlier. > Hours after the San Francisco Unified School District’s governing board wrapped up a meeting in which it considered firing Superintendent Matt Wayne, accepted the mayor’s offer. > In a news release Sunday afternoon, Breed said she’s carving out $8.5 million for the School Stabilization Team to help SFUSD overcome its dysfunction. > Money for the mayor’s effort comes from a 2022 measure that unlocked city money to help SFUSD with so-called Student Success Funds for urgent needs. That’s on top of the $100 million the city already provides annually to its K-12 district.

Farrell's response regarding this incident doesn't make sense. If he was purely interested in how long the issuance of the permits would take, why not call the DBI directly instead of Mayor Breed's office?
