    the opposite? i'm less concerned w/ price, more performance and size/sound. my thought was a pc would work better. it's a pain to switch between services or search for shows, despite amazon having voice search and nav. every time i go back to a show, it randomly puts me back at s1e1...

    I'm considering giving this a go again. Dunno if I will restart or just continue from my last save, I've completed everything and unlocked everything. I never had the patience to get trains setup right so I have tons of belts everywhere. I didn't see what advantage trains have given a belt...

    Dunno if it's been asked recent, I don't open this thread much. Is there any guide or recommendations for a media PC? I just want something to steam whatever services I'm paying for, no offline storage of downloaded videos. Prime, HBO, twitch, YouTube, etc. HDMI out so it can connect to my...

    Correct. Falcon is just a dude with a suit. He's Tony Stark without the brains, Captain without the serum, BP without the cave fruit and alien threads , etc

    The Marvels (2023)

    This is the first movie I've never considered seeing in the theater. A few that I didn't, I at least considered. I thought Ms Marvel show was ok, y'all forget the audience. These are movies based around comics, comics that most of us read as kids. I think the consideration of which movie...

    Loki

    While I like Tom being in the MCU, i think it's ok if he's gone forever. It was a fitting end, getting his chair. Little to on the nose w/ the green color though. hopefully this is a way for them to 'prune' out Jonathan Majors more

    Ms Marvel was ok. no one cares about the story or the character development, but the main char did a good job and she's a true fan. it didn't have any woke crap. i feel sorry for her having to be tainted by the marvel moving that's about to come out. winter solder and falcon could have...

    ARK: Survival Ascended

    Which genre is this? I played a ton of the survival battle area version where the circle gets smaller and smaller and eventually there's a final person or team. I enjoyed the persistent game as well on a pve server and offline. The game didn't feel well balanced for pvp, I went to Rust...

    Yes, but there's zele and several other money transfer methods that are more integrated into banks and even preferred by banks. PayPal wouldn't start as a business model today. As consumers move to other services, how do they attract new ones?

    What does PayPal do going forward? What's their place in the tech world? I don't see how it doesn't lose it's purpose as the world moves forward

    Yup. Every home we looked at was priced at whatever the owner owed the bank at that time. Then my X took half of the equity about 5 years. After the divorce, I owed more on it than we. originally purchased it for I think. I've had a total of 4 mortgages on this place now. When we originally...
