  1. And don't underestimate this. On a "traditional" theater movie, distrib/marketing makes up over half of the costs. That always seems insane to me. Majority of the costs of a conventional movie are not spent in MAKING the damn movie.
  2. Ming just announced their next watch, 37.07 Two 15min order windows on July29 GMT, no limited edition, but only taking orders in those two time blocks. https://www.ming.watch/products/ming-37-07
  3. I'm here for the big silicone. Oh wait, wrong forum.
  4. *fish&chips
  5. Why the fuck does MB require an "auxiliary" lead-acid battery in many cars? And why is it in a location much less servicable than the primary battery, despite having the same shitty lifespan? What engineering superiority causes this?

    24bit FLAC

    What you are finding is definitely true. Your entire listening chain, up to and including your ears, needs to be able to resolve the finer resolution for it to have any benefit to you. If you just listen to everything on iPhone earbuds, stick to mp3 and save the disk space. Conversely, if your speakers are B&W Nautilus, never try to listen to anything less than FLAC. There is an audio nerd thread over in the Music forum if you want more visibility:
  8. You don't have to walk a stripper and pick up her poop. Unless that's what you're in to. Then you do you.
  9. Take it to a local trophy/plaque shop or one of the places that does gift stuff engraved, and pay them to put it in their engraver or laser marker. Depending how fancy you want to get with the graphic, you might want to have it designed by a pro and saved in vector art format like .ai to feed into a laser. An engraver will be more limited in fonts and designs. I'd also suggest you look at FB groups for Glowforge and Epilog (and other popular laser markers), and just search or post and ask each group if there is someone local to you with a laser, and ask if they'd be willing to mark something for you for money/beer. Most enthusiasts will gladly help you out for a little cash. Ideas for what you can do: https://www.epiloglaser.com/resources/sample-club.htm
  10. My ideal is more like 38% appreciation, but I'm already a homeowner.
  11. Pro Tip: If you drop your phone in the lake, you don't get any work calls.
  12. What didn't work out for you guys on BGE/kamado? It's certainly more involved than an Ooni and also costs quite a bit more in fuel, but it's not supposed to be "difficult." But I recommend Ooni all the time to kamado guys if they plan to do more than the occasional pizza - the speed of heatup and the savings in fuel pay for itself pretty quick if you're doing a lot of pizza.
  13. Do you still ship/carry steaks, or has the hunting situation sorted that out?
  14. Wow, that kid knows how to fight.
  15. Sounds like she wants to see you. Pics of neighbor?
  16. See many of those Ionic?
  17. Those colors are so great.
  18. Coworker had a story about his parents, apparently mom always burned the eggs, blamed the pan. Dad bought her a new pan one Christmas. First day after, she used it, he took a bite, and said "well, it's not the pan."
  19. Answer the question!
  20. I mean, technically, tracksuit does have 'suit' in the name?
  21. I lol'd as well. What else can we do but shake our heads and laugh?
  22. Skip Koh Tao, Google Koh Tao death island if you want. There are plenty of other islands with the same beauty and activities, without the suspicious history of tourist deaths covered up by local police who are in the pockets of the mafia.
  23. Friend just flew with his kid (same, minor renewal so parent had to go too) to a neighboring state a few weeks ago because it was the only passport office with an emergency appointment slot the next day, before their scheduled international trip in 2 days. Guys, I'll repeat. There is no reason NOT to renew early, stop letting it get to the last year! If you know you have a few months not needing it, and it is within 2-3yr of expiration, send it in and renew ahead of time!
