Told David this would happen yesterday. HBO Max has reversed course on Dune. No longer day-and-date on HBO Max. -- (link) - Mop May 18, 06:42 6
- What am I missing? "The film, like the rest of the slate, will open in theaters the same day it arrives on HBO Max" - JaxSean May 18, 06:55 3
  - It’s this line... - Mop May 18, 06:57 2
    - So, it's rumored, but WB is officially denying it. -- nm - Inigo May 18, 06:58 1
      - They’re throwing Kilar under the bus, and it was his plan. They’ve got until this fall to close the Discovery deal. Then... - Mop May 18, 07:02
- bastards! -- nm - decline May 18, 06:42 1
  - People signed up to HBO Max for 12 months with a certain understanding. -- nm - Mop May 18, 06:44
Does anyone have a VPN they can recommend? -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:40 13
- ExpressVPN and NordVPN both run sponsored ads with YouTubers and podcasters promising access to such things. Look for discount codes. -- nm - Mop May 18, 07:09 1
  - Right. I've heard the ads a lot but wasn't sure if they were any good so I was hoping for some info from people with personal experience using - Krusty May 18, 07:11
- I use Private Internet Access. -- nm - Reagen May 18, 07:01 2
  - (which has worked for accessing different Netflixes and D+s) -- nm - Reagen May 18, 07:05 1
    - I'll check them out. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 07:14
- What do you want it for? If spoofing to watch region locked content it’s usually a whack-a-mole process. - spamlet May 18, 06:49 7
  - I want to watch UK TV shows mostly -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:50 6
    - We watch UK crime dramas on Prime -- nm - SyrDragon May 18, 07:04 1
      - I've watched a lot of what's available on American streaming services. I want more than what they give us and I really want panel shows. - Krusty May 18, 07:10
    - Havea look at BritBox streaming -- nm - budice May 18, 06:55 1
      - I tried it but was disappointed in their selection. A lot of older seasons of shows were missing. I so wish it was better. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:55
    - Yeah i won’t be able to help as much there, sorry. -- nm - spamlet May 18, 06:51 1
      - Thanks for the info, though. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 18, 06:56
Belmont: NYRA announced Baffert is banned. No Horses in Belmont Stakes. -- (link) - budice May 18, 06:31
DTL: Filed my first recruiting points. Y'all better not go after the same guy I want. - Barontronic May 18, 06:31 3
- Just so you know, first points aren't due officially until before 4ET tomorrow, which gives you 2 more HS games to evaluate -- nm - rollo May 18, 06:40 2
  - Yup, that's why I'm waiting for a few more stats to accumulate on the rest. -- nm - Barontronic May 18, 06:45 1
    - You know about creating a "net", right? -- nm - rollo May 18, 07:03
I'm impressed. The county, our insurance and the school district have made it REALLY easy for 12-16 yo's to get vaxxed - prayformojo May 18, 06:26 1
- love -- nm - SyrDragon May 18, 07:22
Walmart, Costco, Target, CVS and Best Buy have all moved to masks not required if vaxxed -- nm - decline May 18, 06:21 24
- Any child stars out there wishing they’d waiting a day or two before visiting Costco? -- nm - Mop May 18, 06:44 1
  - heh -- nm - Beaker May 18, 07:10
- I *just* said to my wife that one of the big box stores would do this and others would follow. I just didn't think it would be today. -- nm - zunk xometimes May 18, 06:42
- LIDL too -- nm - prayformojo May 18, 06:27
- so basically "no masks." -- nm - amanda jeans May 18, 06:27 19
  - Yup. At this point, if people haven't gotten vaxxed and could have, it's on them (i.e., eff them). - JaxSean May 18, 06:30 14
    - Honest question: What's you thought on how we should proceed? Wait until all children are vaccinated, a certain %, etc.? -- nm - MDH May 18, 06:33 13
      - Wait until child are at least given a chance, they can't even get it yet (12 and less). And really it is a freaking mask, why not just require it - James Bond (aka Igor) May 18, 07:02
      - Personal, non-scientific opinion, is that the message of "you don't need a mask" was premature. - JaxSean May 18, 06:36 5
        
        Also, it seemed like it was only a few weeks of "50+! 40+!! 18+12+GOOOO!!!NOMASKS!!" - JaxSean May 18, 06:40
        
        I do agree with this. I'm also not ready to go to a music festival, for instance. I think we are not there yet. -- nm - amanda jeans May 18, 06:38 3
        
        I would do one outdoors. I feel safe enough in that circumstance. Now is it a good idea generally because not everyone is vaxxed? Probably not yet. - pmb May 18, 06:54 1
        
        This did not (it IS Florida). - JaxSean May 18, 06:57
        
        The one we went to Saturday was outside, and I did have my mask on for about half of it, even outside and fully vaxxed. - JaxSean May 18, 06:43
      - I have been thinking about this a lot. I think my play is "give teenagers six ish weeks to get vaxxed and then relax." - amanda jeans May 18, 06:36 5
        
        I was surprised they dropped so quickly. I figured 6/1 for outside and 7/1 for inside mandates was probably pushing it. - spamlet May 18, 06:37 1
        
        the university usually knows things in advance and had no idea about this. we are scrambling indeed. -- nm - amanda jeans May 18, 06:39
        
        note that I am hiking this weekend (see below) and no way in hell am I wearing a mask at the park. -- (link) - amanda jeans May 18, 06:37 2
        
        To be honest I never really did as all the evidence all along said it was tough to spread outside. - spamlet May 18, 06:40 1
        
        Same. We just avoid the people as we walk. -- nm - pmb May 18, 06:55
  - honor system! -- nm - decline May 18, 06:28 3
    - I took a pic of my card yesterday on my phone. I don't recall who here suggested that but it's a brilliant idea. -- nm - Barontronic May 18, 06:29 2
      - That's what I was told to do when I asked what to do if I lose the card. The nurse said no one had asked but she suggested taking a pic of the front - Krusty May 18, 06:42
      - I did the same -- nm - oblique May 18, 06:29

    - Your post makes a good point! Let them test it out, realize what happens, etc. -- nm - MDH May 18, 06:42

Boo, Alexa. You cannot tell me my answer of D is incorrect and then report the correct answer as D. I'm filing a protest. -- nm - Barontronic May 18, 06:03 2
