  - of course -- nm - mud Apr 6, 11:57
  - ST is old -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 11:56 3

Doctor Strange-MoM clip. This has my attention. -- (link) - budice Apr 6, 10:49 12
- I know I'm in the minority, but I couldn't be less interested in this. I disliked the Doctor Strange What If episode, and this looks like more of that. -- nm* - Inigo Apr 6, 10:56 1
  - *killfiles* - Spawn Apr 6, 10:58
- Yeah, was on B2. 41 seconds makes me *happy*. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:52 2

      - spoiler - Spawn Apr 6, 10:56 3
        
        I love Liz in this role but that accent has always been a negative - eag Apr 6, 11:07 1
        
        I was literally about to post your IM! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 11:10
        
        WandaVision spoilers - Baruno Apr 6, 10:57
I see I wasn't the only one who thought this, re: Weezer -- (link) - Reagen Apr 6, 10:43 2
- Weezer record burnings already being planned across Canada for this outrage...once we find some Weezer albums other than that Buddy Holly one -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 10:48 1

shit, did I just erase all of my passwords? that's not ideal. -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 10:40 23
- Think of it as an opportunity. Use a password manager instead of your browser to hold your passwords -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 10:43 22
  - I don't understand how they work. -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 11:26 13
    - Basically exactly like your browser does (generates passwords, stores them, offers them to you in login boxes) - oblique Apr 6, 11:30
    - Think of them like an encrypted spreadsheet that you unlock with a master key, and then copy the passwords out of as you need them. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:28 11
      - They don't work on individual apps, do they? -- nm - Max Apr 6, 11:36 10
        
        Generally speaking, yes though occasionally one will not support it. LastPass integrates with iOS the same way the built in iOS password manager does - oblique Apr 6, 11:45
        
        For iOS it really depends on how they implement the login for the app. - spamlet Apr 6, 11:42 7
        
        that seems hard. -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 11:44 6
        
        Not as hard as remembering 300 different 64-character passwords. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:45 5
        
        google does it! -- nm - amanda Apr 6, 11:48 4
        
        Well, it did. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 11:54 2
        
        right? I'm going to be feeling/hating this for weeks. in other news, my outlook for web issues seem to have corrected so.... - amanda Apr 6, 12:15 1
        
        We’re not allowed to use outlook for web because people can’t stop clicking on phishing emails. - spamlet Apr 6, 12:18
        
        with this? -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:53
        
        Sometimes they do but not for every app. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 11:38
  - Yep. I recommend 1password. The browser plug-in should make it super easy, barely an inconvenience. Or so I've heard. -- (edited) - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:54 6
    - Is 1password any better or worse than BitWarden? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 10:54 5
      - I haven't used bitwarden, so I can't judge. But my employer's recommendation is to never use Lastpass, only use 1pw. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:55 4
        
        I use LastPass. I don't have any concerns with their security relative to other products. I didn't particularly like they were owned by LogMeIn - oblique Apr 6, 11:05
        
        I like BitWarden and I haven't heard about any issues with them like with LastPass. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 11:02
        
        Why is that on LP? -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 11:02 1
        
        "It has been riddled with security breaches and should not be trusted." - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:13
  - Don't listen to this guy, he is moving away from AMC Theaters! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:44
Money-Smart STers (or at least STers who are smarter about money than I am): Any comments or suggestions about small business lending? - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 10:35 7
- Find a loan shark and offer to do some pro-bono work for him in exchange for a zero-interest loan -- nm - decline Apr 6, 11:02

  - Can't have investors -- unless they are other lawyers. - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 10:54 2
    - Damn ethical rules. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 11:03
    - I'm pretty sure the documentary Suits proved your take to be incorrect. It had a princess in it for goodness sake -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 10:55
  - Sign up for a half dozen credit cards, max out the cash advance, buy bitcoin...and profit..or bet it all on black -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 10:50

The one negative about our house move is that there are no AMC theaters near our new home. We end up with Marcus and a Classic. Closest AMC is a 30 - oblique Apr 6, 10:27 2
- And TV over the fireplace is like watching a movie too close to the screen! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:30 1
  - I'm still contemplating the "length of the house" video wall idea :) -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 10:31
Still no Doctor Strange ticket. Think the AMC servers are *slammed*. Bigger than Spider-Man? BC may be right. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:26 7
- Doubtful - eag Apr 6, 10:31 6
  - I had no problems getting my SM tickets. This is nuts. Still can not close a sale. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:35 5
    - It could be incompetence on the site admins part ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:39 4
      - Or Wanda not wanting Spawn to get tickets - eag Apr 6, 10:47 1
        
        That. B!tch! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:56
      - Or possibly... madness. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 10:42 1
        
        A multiverse of it -- nm - eag Apr 6, 10:45
I assume everyone got it, but got a 25% offer from Disney World resorts from July 8-Sept 30 by having D+. I assume that is their slow time? - Beaker Apr 6, 10:25 4
- Is this a sale? A coupon? -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 12:08
- September after Labor Day is their slow time. If you go in July or August, it'll be mobbed. -- nm - David Apr 6, 10:36 2
  - that makes sense. kids are back in school. (we aren't going; just interesting I got the offer due to D+ (unless it is a regular thing :) )) -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 10:38 1
    - I'm not sure they ever did D+ before. But they're almost always running promotions. -- nm - David Apr 6, 10:48
I'm going to kill all of my browsing history now. I'm having such terrible problems with my chrome. this is the only way. it was nice knowing you. -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 6, 10:24 3

  - This happened to me last week. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 10:35 1
