Friends wasn't a genre buster. It was very much a sitcom rooted in it's time period. But it was well done and better done than many, many other sitcoms.
This echoes what EM said as well, but I would point out that a great many sitcoms being terrible doesn't actually elevate this middling one. We don't evaluate the quality of these things by doing a headcount of bad sitcoms, we compare it to really good sitcoms, like Seinfeld, Cheers, even the Simpsons, and we go "Is it in the conversation with those shows? No? Then I guess it's not actually good, just middling."
The Simpsons has been a lumbering shit-filled zombie corpse for so long I am continually impressed by people's ability to remember it as ever being good.
The first seasons of the Simpsons were the greatest thing American TV has ever produced, by a very large margin. Those who think otherwise are silly geese :P
Why is that city so large? It's bordered on two sides by snowy mountains and two sides by cliffs. There is no evident farmland accessible, save on the other side of a gorge as large as the city itself.

I think my computer desk will collapse soon. It's a cheap little kiosk-like desk from Walmart or something. I know this, but somehow it's inevitable fall will take me by surprise.
Edit: Second try, because apparently I posted this in the NFL topic. My bad.

Foreignlandia has no need for conventional agriculture or roads. The replicators saw to that.

There's huge meadowland available, though. It's merely on the opposite side of that gorge.
also that doesn't look like a very large population. There are a number of very large buildings but things of that size would have to be ceremonial stuff like temples.
Assuming a large subserviant population in the surrounding valleys probably only the elites and their immediate servants live in the buildings we see there. Kind of like Machu Piccu.

Initially emanating a sense of calm and unity with nature, the birds in flight away from the city subtly serve as cues to the darker themes of the painting and pastoral aesthetics in general: loneliness, detachment, myopic provincialism, golden domed hubris, the inevitability of erosion, and the philosophically devastating revelation that you are all alone in the universe, and that no one will hear you strangle yourself on your own feces except for a flock of indeterminate birds, circling forever farther, and further, away.

Yeah... no. If you love it that much though, you can have all my share.

shangri-la or some shit
alt: it's not all that large, there's probably enough farmland and grazing grounds around. Might be a bitch to carry it over there tho.

I rewatched the first dozen or so seasons recently. The show was pretty bad until Season 3. And even Season 3 was pretty spotty.
And damn does it start nosediving fast at the start of season 9. I wonder what happened between 8 (which has the best episode ever: You Only Move Twice) and 9 to cause that.
It took a couple more seasons for it to become actively bad but 9 was the start of the decline. (the best ones of 9 were actually holdovers from the previous that didn't air until the ninth season)
You see, it was set in contemporary America and they were just pretending to be old-timey because of all the awfulness. But then it turns that the awfulness was within them all the time, just waiting to be expressed in the next generation.
That awfulness, of course, was autism.
If you need me to 'splain any other difficult movies I will be here all evening trying to write an essay on Emerson while reading as little of him as actually possible.

wait. wait. The fan is spinning? GPU fans and so forth? It just sits there, orange status light, no signal to monitor?
hmm. Could be anything.
Maybe that is why the sectoids took you down first.
idk.

Pretty sure this is what Abdy's country looks like. That's his house, second from the left.

Xanadu.
What if you dried, cured, and then braided them like rope specifically for the purpose of strangulation?
Look these are important questions.
start unscrewing screws that look like they're holding it together then unscrew a couple more and pull it off
(do not lose the screws)
It depends on the computer case.
Generally one of the sides comes off, generally, from facing the front, it is the panel on the left side that comes off.
If you look at the back of the computer you will likely see some screws on the back that are holding that side panel into place.
These are all generalities though and may not be 100% accurate to your situation.
Depends on the case.
