Seeing that preview for the Soleil Moon Frye doc reminds me off an Instagram account I follow with lots of 80s photos - Flavorize— Feb 24, 09:02 [Attachment]
Tim's joke about serial killers having their own shows to watch their shows was really funny -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 08:52 4
- Yep—that was good! -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 24, 09:02
- link? -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:54 1
  - this week's STiV -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 08:56
- Tim’s one of those blessed people who isn’t aware of how good he is. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:53
Postmaster general Louis DeJoy apologizes for mail delays -- (link) - budice Feb 24, 08:45 4
- Note that he apologized for delays during the holidays, nothing in the context of the election. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:59
- *doesn't change a thing* -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:56
- I wonder what it’s like to not have ethics at all. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:50
- SAD! -- nm - 45 Feb 24, 08:49
STiV has me back on the fence about dropping YTTV. Do we have an idea of what the 4K price increase will be? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 08:42 6
- Thing was cable tv these days. Now it adds on 1) $20 Broadcast TV Surcharge 2) Addl $10 in Fees 3) Device/DVR charges. Adds up. Youtube at $65 good -- nm - budice Feb 24, 08:59
- It’s an add-on. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:50 2
  - So, if 4k means nothing to me - my shit won't go up again? nm - Johnny Lawrence Feb 24, 09:06
  - aha. thanks, guys -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 08:51
- they haven't announced a price yet, but list it as an add-on to the package so I'd expect somewhere between $5-$15 - decline Feb 24, 08:47 1
  - Yeah, I expect $10. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:52
Because that’s exactly what AEW needs... another WWE reject. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 24, 08:36 11
- What makes you see him as a reject? - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 24, 09:10 1
  - I see pretty much all of them as rejects if they weren't underutilized. So Evan Borne is good. Matt Hardy is awful. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 24, 10:44
- I’m more shocked given he was a WWE lifer for 20 years and got a huge PR push via them. He’s more valuable than 95% of the AEW roster -- (edited) - Will Hunting Feb 24, 08:59 1
  - They couldn't reach a new deal. - Remlik Feb 24, 09:03
- Who now? -- nm - eag Feb 24, 08:39 2
  - The Big Show is now an AEW announcer. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:49
  - Spoiler. - IAmQale Feb 24, 08:43
- He’s an extremely funny man. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:39 3
  - I know, but man there are so many TV starved folks that are shunted to Dark and Dark 2 because of all the WWE outcasts. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 24, 08:41 2
    - And that’s why he is hosting a new AEW YT program. They get to showcase more talent. This news is nothing but glowingly positive. -- nm - David Feb 24, 08:49 1
      - Plus he's got history with Shaq. -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 08:56
cause reasons, Willow is $5 on amazon (not sure if its movies anywhere compatible) -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 08:32 1
- also a bunch of MA Disney titles on itunes. -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 24, 08:45
charges dismissed against Bruce -- (link) - mud Feb 24, 08:29 2
- Don't mess with The Boss. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:55
- Huh. Federal charges. It was a national park. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:31
"On that high note, .." -- (link) - mud Feb 24, 08:14 1
- Personally, I wouldn’t want any losers as the head of my party, but whatever. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 24, 08:32
We've talked a lot about Robinhood/retail investors, etc lately. This article claims that 23%* of of equity trading is retail investors - ty97 Feb 24, 08:08 2
- iirc, individual investors only own 23% of the market, the rest is institutional/mutual/hedge -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 11:27
- same question on the im -- nm - budice Feb 24, 08:09

  - I saw the same. I'm looking forward to what he can do behind the camera -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 08:27
- Left unsolved is how these movies connect with The Croods franchise. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 07:59 4
  - the whole lot has no cred. -- nm - mud Feb 24, 08:01 3
    - in my movie choices I'm trying to avoid the crud, you see -- nm - mud Feb 24, 08:04 2
      - How crude. -- nm - Threepio Feb 24, 08:05 1
        
        in the nude! -- nm - nuditarian s.i. Feb 24, 08:16
*working on a cylinder problem* "For the units is it squared? Because it's got a curved edge." -- nm* - Classroom Transcripts Feb 24, 07:45 1
- I actually kind of admire that question as it shows uh, something? Common sense? As opposed to simply accepting what is. -- (edited) - JD Feb 24, 08:29

      - Spoils - David Feb 24, 08:48
      - ! -- nm - mud Feb 24, 08:30
- Depends partially on spoil - Spawn Feb 24, 08:03 2
  - Certainly seemed to have that vibe. Spoils - Volnelk Feb 24, 08:08 1
    - Oh, totally agreed. But just as they danced around "mutants" (for obvious reasons), they may do the same here. -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 24, 08:09
- They've lampshaded it - Reagen Feb 24, 07:55 2
  - I just wondered because... (actual spoilers now) -- (edited) - Volnelk Feb 24, 08:00 1
    - heh, agreed -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:03

- Is nice. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 24, 07:43
1 Year Ago -- (link) - budice Feb 24, 07:29 10
- "very smart" -- nm - mud Feb 24, 07:33
- On the last sentence, he was (quite) wrong in the short term, but not in the longer term -- (pic) -- nm* - ty97 Feb 24, 07:31 8
  - Trying again -- (pic) - ty97 Feb 24, 07:32 [Attachment] 7
    - Am I wrong in thinking that the stock market is given too much concern and looked at too often for economic health when it's actually not - Krusty Feb 24, 07:37 5
      - It’s not a great indicator of how the economy is doing. It is a better indicator of how people *think* the economy is doing. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 24, 08:38
      - The stock market is not the economy, you are 100% correct -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 07:37 3
        
        Marketplace on this in 2019 -- (link) - ty97 Feb 24, 07:40 2
        
        Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Feb 24, 07:44 1
        
        YW. I think folks look at the stock market for a number of reasons. - ty97 Feb 24, 08:28
    - Obviously he was talking about the short term and also just spitting words out -- nm - ty97 Feb 24, 07:36
STIV peeps: Where does this reddit chart come from? This is a top ten list of most viewed original streaming programs. -- (link) - Inigo Feb 24, 07:28 27
- looks like Parrot Analytics (the week before was very different from what is on reddit) -- (link*) - decline Feb 24, 07:38 8
  - Uh... yeah. Their measurement system is questionable, to be polite. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 08:27
  - Ah, cool. So, it is a weekly thing. They were just misunderstanding the data. -- nm - Inigo Feb 24, 07:44 6
    - But it's also some made up metric. Seems designed to sell black box analytics to platforms. -- nm* - Reagen Feb 24, 07:50 3
      - Yeah, reading their measurements portion of the website, it seems like they try to gauge how many people are watching a show... - Inigo Feb 24, 07:59 2
        
        It's the "you'll be paid in exposure" of analytics. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 08:00 1
        
        It's also very similar to how vgchartz tried to gauge videogame sales. - Inigo Feb 24, 08:21
    - why is stranger things here? new episodes? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 24, 07:46 1
      - new subscribers -- nm - decline Feb 24, 07:48

    - People must like it for it to make that list -- nm - Krusty Feb 24, 07:41 12
      - That, or it's an amazing hate watch. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 07:43
      - It's the same characters as Teen Titans Go, but just done as a serious comic book show. -- nm - Inigo Feb 24, 07:43 10
        
        The fact that is an apt pop culture reference kind of hurts me as I remember back to the day when there was a serious Teen Titans comic book that was -- (edited) - JD Feb 24, 08:26
        
        All except one. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:08

        It was the first thing I watched! -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:22 6
        
        I watched Warrior first, then Titans. Glad to see another season of Titans is coming -- nm - decline Feb 24, 08:28 5
        
        Is Warrior any good? Nearly done with Coupling rewatch and not sure what is next. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:54 4
        
        Black Spot (Zone Blanche) -- nm - mud Feb 24, 08:56 2
