The Hamilton Beach has more info including the fact it has the auto off function. The other one has no info at all. I think I would spend the extra money on the Hamilton Beach unless looking at them in person convinces you the other one is better.

😂

Whoops...yes 1, 2, 6, 7.

1, 2, 7, 8 for sure which leaves you with $457.50 to do what you think is most important to you. I’m sure you will need to use some of that for food!

Been there and done that. Good exercise swapping out these hard drives. Each one weighed about 30 pounds. My old workplace had 44 of the drives and over 300 of the disks. We processed magazine pages on these disks for printing and each disk would hold 6 pages.

I guess this episode is what you get when the writers have writers block. I'm sure AI could have come up with something much better so I asked ChatGTP to write an Episode: ChatGPT said: Sure! Here's a full episode outline for The Rookie, structured like a typical 42-minute network drama. It blends action, character development, and police procedural, staying true to the show's tone and format. THE ROOKIE — Season 7, Episode 9: “Thin Blue Lies” Written by: [ChatGTP] Directed by: ChatGTP Runtime: 42 minutes TEASER (Cold Open): EXT. LOS ANGELES – NIGHT A drone shot glides over the L.A. skyline, then cuts to a quiet suburban street. A loud crash shatters the stillness. We follow an elderly woman peeking out her window. INT. HOUSE – NIGHT The camera follows two masked individuals ransacking the home, clearly looking for something. One finds a hidden compartment and retrieves a USB drive. Sirens wail in the distance—they bolt. Cut to: JOHN NOLAN and NYLA HARPER in a patrol car responding to the break-in. The suspects vanish into the night, leaving only the broken lock and a terrified homeowner. TITLE CARD: THE ROOKIE ACT ONE: Nolan and Harper investigate the scene. The woman insists nothing valuable was stolen—just an old thumb drive belonging to her late husband, a retired federal agent. Sergeant Grey briefs the team: the house was under light surveillance due to the husband's past ties to a sealed federal case. Now it’s on the LAPD to cooperate with the feds. Meanwhile, Lucy Chen is mentoring a young rookie, Officer Riley Tran, who is overeager and too reliant on textbook procedures. Lucy is patient, but it's clear Riley has a lot to learn about nuance. Tim Bradford, now working in Metro, gets tapped for a multi-agency task force investigating the theft. ACT TWO: The stolen drive contains encrypted files linked to a decades-old whistleblower case involving police corruption. Angela Lopez and Wesley are pulled in as legal consultants when it's revealed that several current LAPD officers may be implicated. Aaron Thorsen and Celina Juarez investigate another break-in with a similar M.O. — this one targeting a retired judge connected to the same case. They find signs that someone is trying to erase the past. Nolan begins to suspect that this is more than a coincidence — he follows up with an old contact in the FBI (guest star: CCH Pounder) who warns him that they may have a “blue wall” problem—corruption buried deep. ACT THREE: Tension rises as internal affairs gets involved. Sergeant Grey is forced to make hard decisions when it’s revealed that one of his former academy classmates, now a respected captain, might be tied to the cover-up. Lucy Chen and Riley Tran respond to a hostage situation — a third person connected to the case is being threatened. Riley freezes under pressure, but Lucy talks the suspect down, saving lives and teaching Riley a critical lesson about adaptation under pressure. Meanwhile, Lopez discovers a link between the original case and a still-serving lieutenant in another precinct. The implications could be career-ending. ACT FOUR: Nolan and Harper locate the thieves — mercenaries hired to recover (or destroy) all related evidence. After a tense foot chase through an abandoned industrial area, they arrest one of them and recover a second copy of the stolen data. Bradford’s task force arrests the lieutenant, but not before a confrontation where the lieutenant claims the department will "eat its own" before admitting the truth. In a heartfelt scene, Nolan talks to Grey about what it means to be part of a flawed system and still believe in it. Grey reminds him: “The system doesn’t change unless people like you stay in it.” TAG (Epilogue): Riley Tran thanks Lucy for her mentorship and asks to ride with her again. Nolan visits the widow and assures her that justice is finally being served — even if it took years. Grey holds a private meeting with the Chief. They agree to push forward with a quiet but sweeping internal review. Final shot: Nolan, on patrol at night, looks out at the city — thoughtful, hopeful, and aware that the job is never done. FADE OUT. END OF EPISODE

I'm guessing Hicks will be back once his superiors find out he furiously resigned instead of taking the faux "promotion" schemed up by the lady that I can't even remember what her name is. Or he pulls off some heroic stunt and they decide they can't go on without him being in charge of SWAT.

I can't fathom a good reason why anyone would make that choice. 😳

It looks like his false teeth are too large for his mouth...like they are going to come flying out of his mouth when he speaks.

Forgot to record this show and when I checked about a week ago this show is not on MAX or Discovery+ like most Discovery shows are.

I'm still going with the theory that the shooter is Doug Driscoll doing it as punishment to the ER staff.

Yeah it won't hurt to go higher as a starting point but I would never go below the $30. Time isn't free.

Minimum $30.

Thanks. I guess I need to go back and watch it again. 😁

I must have zoned out or something during the episode because I was surprised at the meeting with the rookie at the end of the episode. What brought that on?
