  - We did the first season. Well, I started it, Carrie finished it without me and I never came back to it. - Hercules Mulligan Jun 20, 07:23
  - My daughter has been watching it. Seems decent enough from what I've seen from the corner of my eye (other than subtitles) -- nm - oblique Jun 20, 07:23

Two movies on Netflix I've recently watched: I Am Mother: B+; The Endless: A- - prayformojo Jun 20, 06:57 8

- I'd agree on I Am Mother. It was pretty solid. -- nm - oblique Jun 20, 07:23 2
  - If I didn't already know, I don't think I would have been able to place the actress that did Mother's voice. She did a good job with that -- nm - prayformojo Jun 20, 07:30 1

Watched Get Carter (Michael Caine) on Netflix, thought it was great. Couldn't finish either Wanted (Jolie) or Wreck It Ralph though - con_carne Jun 20, 06:48 3

- What's not to get? They curve bullets and get prophecies from a sewing machine. Sure it's not the best movie ever, but ... - Beryllium Jun 20, 07:20
- Some might say those are very different films. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 20, 06:57
All right then, I'll put a limit order on Slack. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 06:45 4
- $1, Bob. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 20, 06:49
- how do they make money? their paid usage can't poss cover all their expenses. can it? - amanda Jun 20, 06:49 2
  - They charge $5 per user per team per month (iirc). Paid usage probably takes in a lot of revenue. Not sure about profit potential. -- (edited) - Beryllium Jun 20, 07:01 1
    - (And if not, and if they can't get to that amount of coverage, they're hosed for profit.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 07:13

When exactly did LinkedIn become essentially Facebook/Twitter with people's jobs listed? It really took a turn for the worse. -- nm - MDH Jun 20, 06:10 4
- I had a nice talk with our Marketing guy recently. We apparently get more traction with posts on LinkedIn than the other two services by far -- nm - oblique Jun 20, 06:14 3
  - Very interesting. I don't mind job postings at all, but blatant viral clickbait has no reason to be on there. It's just so odd. -- nm - MDH Jun 20, 06:14 2
    - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 20, 06:57
    - I totally agree. I never go to linkedin because it feels so... "your mom's on facebook." -- nm - amanda Jun 20, 06:18
Beaker, $5 Friday page has the stuff for tomorrow. Nothing for me this week. -- nm - Shaun Jun 20, 06:04 1

    - Alone and the NBA draft is a show I've never heard of. - zork Jun 20, 07:28

      - Thanks! :-) I'm a huge fan of Alone, it's the best survival show since Les Stroud stopped doing Survivorman. - Krusty Jun 20, 06:26 8
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 07:12 7
        
        Les was the best! I get why he had to stop as it was really rough on him but damn was his show good. Alone is a well done survival show and the people - Krusty Jun 20, 07:16 6
        
        I don't have to run faster than a bear, just you (looks at cameraman) -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 07:21 5
        
        and I'd kneecap you before I started running... -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 07:21 4
        
        Haha! Yup. Sorry, cameraman. Though, there's no cameraman on Alone. They have to film themselves and lug around a 60lb box of equipment. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 07:35 3
        
        They're actually alone. The other people are far enough away that they don't meet up and I'm sure the show has something set up to - Krusty Jun 20, 07:37 2
        
        ahh gotcha, I thought one of those was like that but wasn't sure -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 07:42 1
        
        It's kind of why I like it so much. There's really no behind the camera intervention or setting things up. They're left alone with some goods - Krusty Jun 20, 08:05
  - 1. Final season of Elementary -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 20, 05:59
  - 2: MasterChef, Family Food Fight, may watch a bit of the Draft too -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 04:49
