Far Away Places' brilliant story structure

2025.02.02 01:41 Dddddddfried Far Away Places' brilliant story structure

This has my favorite story structure of any Mad Men episode. Original yet natural. Experimental but seemingly effortless.
To refresh your memories, instead of transitioning between A, B, and C stories, this episode is told in three uninterrupted sections from a single character’s POV. Peggy failing the Heinz pitch/movie theater handy, Roger taking LSD, and Don’s trip to Howard Johnson’s. Each tale is completely satisfying on its own.
Part of what makes this episode so unique is how it handles time. Each story starts the same morning, so we have to travel back in time when one ends and the next begins. But not only that, each section handles time differently within its own story.
Peggy’s is the most conventional. Time moves forward from scene scene in order to tell the story. Roger’s is the most radical. His LSD trip bends time until Jane points out “how can a few numbers contain all of time?” Don’s is the most disorienting. Time lurches forward in the car without any camera cuts, first on the way up to Howard Johnson’s, then again when Don ditches Megan. Time also staggers as he waits around Howard Johnsons. The unchanging setting is uncomfortable since we can't mark any progress, until a cop shakes Don awake at 2 am.
The episode ends the next morning, and we get a glimpse of how each character has been effected by the previous day's journey. No one story has been elevated above the other. Each character has gone to a Far Away Place and is changed by it forever. Peggy starts to build a life outside of SCDP before ultimately quitting. Roger gets a new lease on life, goes to therapy and actually tries at his job. And Don loses control of Megan.
To me, this is the defining episode of Season 5. And its broken, looping structure helps take us to the Far Away Places.

How do I rewire this? For the old wiring, the top says line #1 in and out. The bottom is line #2 in and out. On my new switch there’s the black, 2 reds and a ground. Do I not use the black? And cap a ground?

2025.02.02 01:41 MudFrequent2961 Sou babaca por não querer dormir dormir em outra casa?

Olá a todos, sou um jovem de 17 anos, não sei nada sobre como o mundo funciona e tenho muita pouca experiência em relações sociais, mesmo dentro da minha família ou com meus próprios pais, então decidi fazer essa postagem pra ter uma opinião externa sobre se estou certo em me sentir assim ou se só estou sendo chato. Basicamente a história é que no dia anterior meu pai avia me convidado pra ir a um "churrasco" de família longe da nossa casa, minha mãe não poderia estar lá pois ela está trabalhando em um evento especial e precisa ficar longos períodos fora de casa, a proposta em questão era que nós dois iríamos participar da festa em uma boa casa com nossos outros parentes, e depois nos íamos dormir na casa de outro parente nosso e iríamos voltar pra nossa casa logo quando amanhecer, a casa em questão que iríamos dormir é uma casa de veraneio do meu tio, na qual já passamos muitos dias e inclusive várias viradas de ano, então dormir lá não seria um problema pra mim, então eu aceitei ir com ele pois além da comida e por achar que ia ser divertido, a casa ficava perto de um restaurante que eu amava, mas acima de tudo que concordei com minha mãe que eu ia porque queria cuidar do meu pai e garantir que ele voltaria bem, então quando chegamos lá tudo estava ótimo, o lugar era lindo e ótimo, o único problema é que nós aviamos chegado um pouco tarde e não tinha sobrado carne pra nós dois, porém eu não estava tão preocupado pois aviamos passado no restaurante que mencionei antes e eu estava bem alimentado e de muito bom humor pra me importar, porém com o passar do tempo eu fui desanimado um pouco e nessa altura eu já queria voltar pra casa, mas não queria dizer ao meu pai pois eu estaria sendo um estraga prazeres, até que depois de umas horas a festa acabou muito antes doque eu imaginei e meu pai me chamou pra irmos embora, inicialmente eu fiquei muito aliviado em voltar pra casa tão cedo, mas ai nos eu percebi que nos estávamos indo pra casa do meu tio, questionei o meu pai por isso é ele me lembro que esse era o nosso combinado, não fiquei com raiva, porém pelo tempo que levamos pra chegar lá e o horário que estávamos saindo eu pensei que não seria problema voltarmos pra casa, questionei meu pai sobre isso porém ele me respondeu que a estrada que viemos era muito ruim de dirigir, como eu disse no início eu tenho apenas 17 anos e não tenho absolutamente nenhuma experiência dirigindo, então sabia que seria idiota da minha parte contestar sendo que eu não sei nada sobre dirigir, porém na minha cabeça nós não tivemos nenhum problema vindo prá casa, então fique me questionando muito se realmente era verdade e se não poderíamos só ir para casa, mas não insistir pois como disse antes, eu já dormir naquela casa várias vezes, então dormir lá não é um problema, até que quando chegamos lá a poucos minutos, eu estava colocando nossa bagagem no nosso quarto, e então eu olhei pra trás e tanto na porta da entrada como na porta dos fundos tinham pichações estranhas pelo lado de dentro, e quando questionei meu pai sobre isso ele disse que tinham arrombado a casa de meu tio e roubado algumas coisas, nesse momento eu gelei de uma forma que eu nunca tinha ficado antes, especialmente porque agora essa é a segunda vez que eu fico próximo de um roubo, e fiquei extremamente nervoso pois a primeira vez foi a alguns anos justamente em uma casa de veraneio, onde eu e a outra parte de minha família fomos furtados pois não estávamos na casa porque eu tinha pedido pra minha mãe para irmos tomar sorvete e vários dos nossos parentes foram junto, então na casa ficou apenas a minha avó e os cachorros do meu outro tio, que não batem nem em mosca, então acabaram que entraram na casa sem minha vó perceber e furtaram várias de nossas coisas, dentre elas meu laptop, então eu estou com muito medo e receio de dormir aqui sabendo que a pouco tempo invadiram a casa, e ainda mais por meu pai não ter me contado sobre isso, pessoalmente eu não acho que ele pensou que eu ficaria tão ressentido por saber disso é nem acho que ele lembra do furto que aconteceu, mas o fato dele não ter pensado em me contar isso é oque me deixa mais chateado com ele, apesar deque não quero culpá-lo, pois sinto que ele é tão ruim em se comunicar quanto eu, mas inda sim eu não quero mais dormir nessa casa, nesse momento eles está no quarto enquanto eu fico na sala, não sinto que seja a hora certa pra falar com ele porém não sei se consigo não desabafar sobre esse sentimento, por isso estou fazendo esse post, e também quero saber se eu sou ou não o babaca dessa história

2025.02.02 01:41 avatarCabbage Genie screw drive garage rod keeps slipping off the coupler.

I am not sure this is the right subreddit but here it goes, i have an old Genie Intellicode screw drive garage opener. A couple of days ago, the garage stopped opening. I noticed the screw rod stopped spinning. My first thought was that it must be the coupler. I replaced the coupler, but it is still not working. I noticed the screw rod is not connected to the coupler. So, I adjusted it and tested it before connecting it to the carriage, but when the carriage is connected, the rod slides off the coupler, and the rod stops spinning.
I hope you all can give some advice or suggestions.
TIA

2025.02.02 01:41 mfsalatino What if Hannibal Hamlin was President of the United States from 1865-1877?

Vice President Hamlin is Kept on the ticket from the 1864 election and Linconl likely still won in a landslide like in OTL but just lost New York. But Hamlin became president after his assassination.
For 1868, President Hamlin, with Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax as his running mate, defeated Horatio Seymour in a landslide, for 1972 his new running mate was Ohio Governor Rutherford B Hayes (John Sherman could be another option).
What would Hamlin's presidency would look like?
How different would the reconstruction have been?
Would the liberal Republican split still happen in 1872, if not who would have been the dem nominee?
Would Ulysses S. Grant, still become president in 1876?

What are your thoughts on Samus power stats/rankings on VS Battles Wiki (VSBW) Decided to look up Samus Aran stats on VS Battles Wiki since I was bored.
Here is her profile page (though technically she has 4 articles): https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Samus_Aran_(Post-Fusion)
Basically, each number and letter corresponds to a characters power: 9-C = Street level, 8-C = Building level, 8-A = Multi-City Block level, 6-B = Country level, High 8-C = Large Building level, 7-C = Town level, Low 7-B = Small City level.

2025.02.02 01:41 qxzlc is hsr powercreep really that bad?

Just as the title says. I'm not really sure how much powercreep is in the game since I'm pretty used to Genshin where even my Noelle could clear endgame content. I've seen other people skipping characters that can't 0-cycle or something and only pull for meta characters, so I'm questioning if playing older characters like Seele is actually unplayable. I'm the type of player that pulls for who I like, but I also need them to actually do something in my account. It feels bad pulling for characters just for them to not clear content 2 patches later.
Note: I am a fairly new player, started playing around Nov 2024. My current 5 stars are Acheron, Aventurine, Lingsha, Bronya, and Therta. I plan on pulling Sunday, DHIL, Boothill, Phainon, and Mydei.

I was born into a catholic family. I had my baptism, communion and have been confirmed in the church. Over the years I shied away from God. I am ready to re-open to my heart to God. I just really don’t know where I should begin? Do I need to get re-baptized??

2025.02.02 01:41 r_GenericNameHere Streaming from computer issues

Hey all, I have a 1tb oled that I occasionally stream games from my Alienware 17 r4.
I have noticed that I can not stream games from my pc if BOTH are plugged into the internet (hardwired). I recently got my laptop hardwired so I decided to play IT and run Ethernet throughout my house. When just the laptop is hardwired it streams fine, but when my SD is also hardwired (through a jsaux dock) it will not work. Like it will immediately end the stream if I plug the Ethernet it mid stream.
I’m looking for any help with diagnosing, I’m wondering if it is a switch problem, but do not have another one to try
Info: My internet is a starlink, with Ethernet adapter that runs out to a netgear switch All runs are short, Ethernet adapter to switch is <2ft, run to switch dock is 6-8ft, run to laptop is 30ft ish.
