I had been posting my mini-takes in the Rate Movies You Recently Watched thread. We're all caught up now and I think MI1 is the main divergence in opinion. On re-watch I found it almost unbearable. 3 was surprisingly good, and as you say, I was shocked by just how great Hoffman was in it. Did...

We were wondering how the login thing would work while in our hotel in Branson this last weekend. Plus I’ll be in Franklin, TN again next week for work in the hotel. So far there haven’t been problems but we just keep waiting. Wife’s mom has said that if she gets kicked out she’ll just PayPal us...

That's awesome. I'm jealous of your setup!

I mean, she named herself after a degenerate. Wasn’t ever much hope there to begin with. As for Leto, I like the guy but maybe there’s something out there I missed out that soured everyone. Of course I also like 30 Seconds to Mars ssssoooo….

Nice, I got my hardcopy in last week of Frugal Wizard. Will pick this up tonight, almost done with this Horus Heresy book.

I had a lot of those moments with EQ. But my parents also challenged me appropriately about what I was spending my time doing and forcing me to defend some of it. It helped me think more critically of the social interactions, guild leader interactions, and so forth. Trying to explain to my folks...

About 60% finished with Decent of Angels and I really liked most of this 1st part with the disconnected Caliban story. Was a good change of pace from the previous books. At the risk of blaspheming these stories, the whole best friends, one bound for good one bound for evil thing is getting a...

For what it is worth, a couple of updates: - It was Wave asking for the information, not the bank. - I responded to their questions basically stating that "it is for business purposes and payments for invoices generated using your service." - Lastly, told them my contract between my client and...

I'm not going to say this is IMDB 4/10 bad, but yeah. It ain't great.

Wow I think you're right. I had no memory of playing that at all. Watching a YouTube video now.

I know, I prefaced my paragraph with retarded take warning! That's gotta count for something!

My Mom dug up some old pictures of us on vacation in Destin and found one of me playing SNES. Not 100% sure what game I was playing so thought I'd ask. In my head it should be Earthbound but that doesn't look like the cartridge.

About the same as me and what Sanrith mentioned above. The whole thing felt like one long XBox cutscene. And while cool, at some point is a little long in the tooth. Maybe? At least Wick had various story elements and world building, so forth. As has already been said though the Prison Scene...

Watched Doctor Strange 2 today and didn't love it. There were some cool ideas and pieces that seemed like they would have made a good movie. Nothing regarding America Chavez or her multidimensional punching ability, or how Scarlet Witch was used, seemed interesting. I can't even remember what...

If it isn't super wavy and that is mostly just noticeable under light (obviously you will be able to feel some of it), don't stress. Even some of the CNC machines that I've seen do surfacing leave behind the same marks. And anyone who takes it is going to plane it or sand it down. You could hit...

Yes, that is how it has been explained to me and put in to practice through my payroll. Through payroll I go ahead and take out everything for both the Employer and Employee side. So my Fed 941, State 941 all come out, my Employer Social Security and Employer Medicare, then my FUTA/940 and...

Did we actually link the scene so we can all reference it? Here's a YouTube commenter: 4:14 This is what the Tenet scientist (Barbara) says to the Protagonist in her facility. After a 3rd viewing of the film, I’m now convinced that all the inverted material in her lab and archive room with...

Yep, agreed. He has the email I received and is reviewing it for me.

Yeah, I've reached out to my accountant and advisor also. I mean I get that there's some banking / financial regulations related to transaction amounts and whatnot. It didn't come off as unique to that bank, but that's also a reason for my question. I'll see what the other people have to say...

No idea where to actually post this, so may as well necro an Aychamo thread... My banking institution that handles my business account has asked for justification on a series of transactions. I'm not hiding anything but also not enthused about providing a bunch of details that really should be...

What made it even more irritating was how much we loved John Woo back in college. We watched all his 80s and 90s stuff, whatever we could get our hands on at Blockbuster, Movie Gallery, or Suncoast. I need to find those again. Haven’t thought about them in 25 years or more.

Here in Little Rock we're pretty susceptible to ice storms, not so much snow, and tornados. We have, in recent times, lost power for days to over a week at a time due to weather events. The chances of it occurring are always slim, but it does and has happened. I'm probably being over protective...

Gave the go ahead to a company today to install a home generator. Settled on a Kohler after reviewing everything we got back on the bids. 1. $20k for either a Generac or a Briggs. They were trying to push Briggs bc they had a 10-year all inclusive warranty and Generac is a 5-year limited. This...

Bullshit! Right turn, left turn, u-turn. All sorts of turn based action in real life driving!

Fuck you!!!!!

I want to make a YouTube channel called “Shititani Furniture” where I try to remake everything he does. Only it’ll be shitty, because I suck.

Princess Floralinda and the Forty Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir So I did end up grabbing this novella on Kindle (also looking for a hard copy), and it was really great. It got a little played out by the end, so better that it was a novella and quick easy read. But it is funny and clever and well...

The dress up episode last season was great because you could also tell that the whole cast was having a great time with it. It was cheesy, looked fun, and everyone was completely selling it.

$1.99 a bag... so yeah bought a few haha

About to get my Goldfish on

I thought this was in the same timeline as Discovery, which had an established timeline. But I never watched Disco so was going off bits and pieces of thread on here.

Nona the Ninth - I still really don’t know what to make of this series, but in a good way. It is just so bizzare. There’s been so much time between my readings of Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth that little details are lost. Once again it took about 46% of the book for things to really...

This season was pretty good. We also just finished rewatching Season 2 and man it is such a huge difference in quality. Like those bozos hazing each other and shaving their heads. At that point the idea of being on a reality show was new-ish and everyone was treating it like Real World and Road...

Yeah I think the curb weight is around 5,000lb? This one is a 5.7L eTorque so not sure if it will be any different than my last regular 5.7L. It got 16 around town and 20.3 I think was my highway average. It took about 5,000 miles for it to settle in because it was lower than that at the start.

$62k - $14k for my RAM (which was $38 from them - $24 left on the note). So financed $48k @ 2.9% which I’ll just try to pay off aggressively like I was the old truck. Just in case a data point is useful for someone else truck shopping. I definitely left money on the table, this is no claim I’m...

I think I sold that exact model at Sears or one with a base very similar!

Yeah that was odd to me too. Other slight disappointment:

As mentioned in the Car thread, decided to trade in my truck and step up. Came out about even versus payments on my 2021 RAM, even with stepping up a trim level. Things that I wanted / needed: - Full crew cab to hold booster seat + car seat now that we have two boys. Making getting them in and...

Rise, Dawn, and War were somewhat underrated or at least under discussed? My memory could be fuzzy about that response. It took me a little while to catch up and see War but it'd be worth going back and watching all 3. Wes Ball did the Maze Runner trilogy and if you're in to your Young Adult...

Nope, stick with it! Yeah as Jox says we're mostly discussing Cradle. So be careful for spoilers :)
