  • Are long-running telenovela / soap drama shows getting more dramatic over time?

    Hello lemmings,

    I am not exactly a fan of soap dramas, however through regular visits at my moms place i end up watching these shows (specifically the german shows "Alles was zählt" and "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten").

    Until this year, the drama was worth it because Doctor Who aired inmediately after and i think Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Clara Oswalt etc. are much more entertaining.

    Over time i've noticed that the plots have become much more dramatic. Schemes have become much more schemey, crimes have been commited and became more crimey and the drama has become seemingly constantly more dramatic.

    Now my question is: Am i mistaken with my impression? Is there a name for this drama creep? Does this also happen to other long-running soap dramas where you live?

    Links und rechts im Bild ist jeweils ein Hund.

    Der linke Hund wurde bearbeitet um wie ein Bodybuilder auszusehen. Unter dem Hund steht "Winzigweich Fenster Brandmauer". Über dem Hund steht "Hier kommt keiner durch!"

    Der rechte Hund ist unbearbeitet und sieht schwächer aus als der linke Hund. Unter dem Hund steht "CDU/CSU Brandmauer" und über dem Hund steht klein geschrieben "Wir können doch mit der AfD auf kommunaler Ebene zusammen arbeiten, oder?"

    Xbox 360 DVD drive not working

    Hello people,

    i have recently purchased an Xbox 360 and it turned out that the drive didn't work at all. Initially i was facing the issue that the tray didn't come out at all. I managed to fix that by cleaning the drive belt.

    But now i found out that the drive doesn't read any disc whatsoever.

    When i insert a disc, the disc makes some grindy noise, followed by the motor spinning up and turning off again. This pattern repeats 2 more times before the Xbox gives up.

    I cleaned the laser lens and performed the pot tweak (i went down to 3 kilo ohms resistance) and so far these measures didn't help.

    What i didn't do so far was messing with the puck on the top of the lid (it's still on there so i think i don't need to fix it) and adjusting the laser rails (frankly i don't know how to level it properly).

    How can i proceed further to fix this drive?
