What's really funny about that Rappy is that Schrader didn't beg for his life. He wouldn't compromise his beliefs. Jack, he didn't give it a second thought about trying to save his own skin. Walt, he didn't give a crap. BANG!

The blood splatter on the camera really drove that death for me. I felt like it was a metaphor for Walt not giving a ###### about the Heisenberg legacy anymore.

Los Lunas, New Mexico science teacher and Breaking Bad fan Dave Layman created an obituary for Walter White and had it placed in the Albuquerque Journal newspaper. :rofl:

Finally figured out once and for all that the show takes place in 2009-11, I'm guessing November-ish.

 

In early S4, while Hank is in recovery from getting gunned down by the cousins, Marie goes to the store and brings him a Fantasy Football magazine from 2010, to which Hank says "besides, the draft isn't for 2 more months".  Since most FF drafts are in August, that places this date around June.  According to this timeline, that's roughly 8 months from the beginning of the show.

Yeah well, the show takes place over 3 years pretty much.  Most of the series over 2 years and the last few episodes 'jump' a year.

2 years.  Ep.1 is his 50th birthday, Ep. 62 is his 52nd.

birthday 51th is at the beginning of season 5 right? so really most of the show (seasons 1-4) takes places during one year, then he turns 51, makes 8 barrels of money  (in about 6 months), and then in the last couple episodes we jump another 6 months

That's pretty much it.  If you look at the link in the timeline, he starts his "empire" with Mike and Jesse just before he turns 51.  But there was some confusion on when exactly it took place, what years (especially with mentioning bin Laden in one of the last episodes).  And so I believe I have it, with some certainty.

I started rewatching breaking bad and just finished season 1. I forgot how amazing it is in the early episodes!

Same here. I am on S03E01 and am loving watching it all over again.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.

      you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
