Yes and no. Correlation is not causation. Movies cost so much that consumers have to be picky. As a cost/benefit are you more likely to get your money’s worth from the Odyssey or Moana 2? If Moana 2 had more practical effects would it be a better movie?

A theater trip for a family of 4 can be ~$100. It is for my family where we live. That’s 1/3 the cost of a 55 inch TV, or a 65 inch TV at Black Friday, plus a big box of microwave popcorn.

If you want people to see the poorly written, phone-it-in, low effort remakes these studios are intent on putting out, you have to price it accordingly, or everyone walking out of the theater says the same thing: “Wow. That wasn’t worth it.”

People are still very willing to see well crafted, thought out, intentional pieces from direrectors or studios they trust to do a good job. It’s worth it.

Ha! I have a Framework 13 from their first run. It’s my only real gripe with it. Downward firing speakers are dumb on a laptop.

I have both and run them side by side through Docker in UNRaid, but Jellyfin hardly ever gets used unless there is a problem with Plex and I don’t feel like fixing it immediately. I’ve had the Plex lifetime pass for forever.

I have young kids and really like Plex’s system for moderating content for their accounts. I’ve never explored this on Jellyfin though. As a person with crappy laptop speakers, subtitles are important to me. Plex does subtitles better than Jellyfin in my experience.

Real advice, watch some videos on making push sticks and make one that’s good, solid, safe, and comfortable. Make something you’re proud to use, and you’ll be infinitely safer.

I’ve been hoping for that for a long time, but for every one that has the grace to age out and die, at least one more ages in.

I don’t know anyone who uses Steam for the community features.

Steam works because it’s easy. Full stop.

Gotta be al that avocado toast.

This is a “Pokémon go to the polls,” vibe. Not a compliment.

Brian Hoyer, Matt Cassel, Ryan Mallet, Jimmy G. There are so many examples of Pats backup QBs that went to start other places because the league was scrambling for Belichick’s dregs. And that’s just quarterbacks.

Not only was deflategate bs, the Pats won that game 45-7.

What chapter in Revelation is this part of the end times?

Just want to say, when Sebulba crashes at the end of the pod race in Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, he says “poodoo,” just like your stove.

“It’s a lot of young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Oh they understand. That’s why they’re so unhappy. But, this is exactly the take I expect from one of the most out-of-touch people on the planet.

It’s worse than that. We’ve passed that point already.

Magnets are a really useful thing, particularly in compasses, which allow you to find your way to Epstien Island.

It’s only a war if Congress votes on it.

This will be everyone’s uncle at Thanksgiving, finally having an outlet for all the WWII documentaries.

In case you’re talking to a Christian, most believe that everything is a part of God’s plan, even the things they don’t like.

It’s honestly more interesting that this doesn’t match up with the “do you identify as a Christian” stats. It would imply that there are a significant percentage of Christians who think that Trump is outside of God’s plan. Maybe God didn’t have Trump in his bingo card?

No, no companies are people. Buying and selling them is slavery.

That graph is shaped like a gun.

I am sure most people are considering doing this have elementary aged children. A $20 tag feels like a better option than a $1000 phone. I’d prefer putting it on a backpack than in a shoe though.

All parents spy on their children. That doesn’t make you a shitty parent. What you do with that info and how you handle it does.
