LYC: I bought that new Wyze Lock last night for the new house. Figured it was easily the cost of changing the locks with a locksmith -- (edited) - oblique Apr 20, 07:39 4
- The main thing I disliked about that lock is no key backup. That and wyze, while I like my camera, doesn't strike me as reliable - sycor Apr 20, 07:41 3
  - Certainly a potential issue with any non-mechanical lock. I also have a smart garage door system I got for Christmas to install and we probably will - oblique Apr 20, 07:44 2
    - We skipped the external as we have aps on our phones as back-up. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 08:15
    - Oh yeah with multiple entry points it's much less an issue. Being in a townhouse without a garage it's much more a concern. -- (edited) - sycor Apr 20, 07:47
my boss has not yet acknowledged my resignation. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 07:27 17
- She’s just hoping the non-alien abducted maj shows up the next day. -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 07:51
- She's not really leaving. We are putting together a raise package of 25 cents an hour. That will get her to stay. -- nm - The Boss Apr 20, 07:45
- "P.S. - I'm leaving because I've been promoted to a Qanon national office." -- nm - Max Apr 20, 07:38 1
  - "Hillary Clinton is franchising her pizza empire and I'm going to be their CFO" -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 07:44
- so glad that you're getting out of there -- nm - prayformojo Apr 20, 07:32
- did i miss how much notice you gave? - Andie Apr 20, 07:31 5
  - I resigned monday and gave three full weeks; last day 5/6. - amanda Apr 20, 07:34 4
    - oh hey, mine too! right on new job buddy. - mafic Apr 20, 07:38 2
      - last night when max and I were talking, I referenced your post (linked) about retention offers. -- (link) - amanda Apr 20, 07:41 [Backboard] 1
        
        well shucks. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:57

    - Another example of Dr. Strange Boss's Multiverse of Madness. -- nm - Max Apr 20, 07:44
So, I called the theater...this is crazy. Hamilton is the cheapest of the 6 shows in our current time slot / Seat location - Will Hunting Apr 20, 07:15 3
- I know the scramble for rights got a little crazy this year. Some of the shows we were hoping for aren't happening because the touring - Meg Apr 20, 08:16
- it's just a coincidence that the theatre's minimum take increased by 50% before they set the prices. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:19
- bastards! -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:17
Netflix stock down almost 40% now from yesterday @ 210 -- (link*) - budice Apr 20, 07:11 10
- Lost in all of this is that they solidly beat earnings predictions. - Inigo Apr 20, 07:27 8
  - Sure, but crazy growth is what supports super high P/E ratios - Reagen Apr 20, 08:00
  - I think I read that subscribers count is expected to drop next quarter as well? -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 07:45 3
    - Expecting to lose two million subscribers next quarter -- nm - LMS Apr 20, 08:11
    - I wonder what percentage of the loss is from Ukraine and them stopping streaming in Russia -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:48 1
      - russia was 700k I heard this morning. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 07:55
  - If they beat predictions with less subscribers, it means that their costs were lower, probably. - Marlowe Apr 20, 07:40 1
    - It's probably more that raising their prices had a short term effect both in raising overall earnings and in lowering the amount of new subscribers. -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 07:43
  - right? that's what I noticed right away and then the bottom fell out -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:39
- holy shitsnacks -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:14

- Everything's coming up Dignan! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 20, 06:51
The other benefit of going into office is actually being able to print out documents to review instead of having to do it on my laptop screen. -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 06:38 2
- please consider the environment before printing this post. - mafic Apr 20, 06:42 1
  - Try a smaller font. That should help. -- nm - Baruno Apr 20, 07:13
Women ruin all our fun -- (link) - Flavorize Apr 20, 06:30 15
- She doesn't appreciate the new home he's building for her. -- nm - jnine Apr 20, 08:10 2
  - He's turning troglodyte -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 08:14
  - Things will become clear when he reveals the animal he bought to live in there with her. -- nm - Max Apr 20, 08:14

- This is the other side of a Stephen King short story -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 06:59 1
  - King read the tweet and dashed out 100 pages on it overnight. -- nm - Baruno Apr 20, 07:10
- He's tunneling to a bank heist and this woman has just put all the info on reddit. *smh* -- nm - Krusty Apr 20, 06:46
- he's crazy paranoid and thinks he is building a bunker (he will never build a bunker, he will die when the tunnel collapses, as she fears.) -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 06:41 3
  - I don't imagine he's installed ventilation, so maybe he'll just asphyxiate? -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 06:44 2
    - I think he would just fall asleep and never wake up, right? -- nm - loosilu Apr 20, 07:35 1
      - rip van winkle style? -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:44
- I'd be more concerned about the ancient evil he's about to accidentally unleash. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 06:37
- 1) don't visit the hole; 2) I hope the Oak Island guys are reading this. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 06:35 2
  - whoa whoa buddy, there's a big difference in a hole and a tunnel. don't get them confused. -- nm - colin Apr 20, 06:55
  - I think he's just prepping for a Mazes and Monsters game. -- nm - Baruno Apr 20, 06:43
NFLX 33% ROI if it goes back to yesterday's open -- nm - rollo Apr 20, 06:24 9
- I'm tempted but also feel it was a bit overpriced. - sycor Apr 20, 06:27 8
  - Let's do some math assuming you were okay with Monday's valuation - Will Hunting Apr 20, 06:58 7
    - Valuation assumptions are based on the growth curve. It’s not just this quarters losses, or next quarters, but the entire trajectory of growth - znufrii Apr 20, 07:21
    - I think the assumption has to be that there'll be wider losses moving forward. streaming is getting more expensive (along with everything else) - amanda Apr 20, 07:16 5
      - It's a small warning sign .... the idea a company loses 40% of it's value over 1/10th % in revenue drop on worries that years down the road they might - Will Hunting Apr 20, 07:19 4
        
        Except the model isn’t saying that 220m subs is worth X. - znufrii Apr 20, 07:24 1
        
        (What you’re probably seeing is a lot of momentum selling as well, but that’s not relevant to your critique of fundamental analysis) -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 07:30
        
        sure, but I imagine a lot of people's models were 'it's worth .6X, but ride the wave.' not like it's been on an upward trend recently. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:24
        
        oh yes. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 07:20
Bill Hader interview ahead of Barry's season 3 premiere Sunday -- (link) - Beaker Apr 20, 06:24 2
- recap of seasons 1 and 2 (it really is an outstanding show) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 20, 06:28 1
  - "Here's a 3-second flash recap:" *screaming feral child* "Now you're caught up!" -- nm - Max Apr 20, 07:45

South Carolina couple marries at Gander airport after falling in love with Come From Away -- (link) - Beaker Apr 20, 06:21 13
- Gander's where my wife's family landed in Canada. they got on a flight from Moscow to Havana planning on getting off at the refuelling stop, - mafic Apr 20, 06:36 6
  - cool. -- nm - mud Apr 20, 07:08
  - wow -- nm - prayformojo Apr 20, 06:40
  - wow, that's quite a brave decision. -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 06:39 3
    - not an uncommon one at the time. USSR was collapsing so they didn't want to stay, they knew Cuba would be in trouble without the support. - mafic Apr 20, 06:55 2
      - oh sure, but still crazy brave to get on a plane with no idea where you were getting off, and staying. -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 06:58 1
        
        oh for sure. even once they're there there are for sure secret police on the plane looking to stop people. there are stories of people getting hauled - mafic Apr 20, 07:03
- they were screeched in! Love it. -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 06:23
- i didn't know there was a Dildo, Newfoundland. -- nm - colin Apr 20, 06:22 4
  - NF is famous for dirty place names. -- nm - loosilu Apr 20, 07:37
  - Jimmy Kimmel was mayor there for a little bit (they sent Guillermo there for a visit and he got hammered, it was pretty damn funny) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 06:26
  - There's a giant hillside sign - built by Jimmy Kimmel. -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 06:25
  - It's near Come By Chance. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 06:24
Tmobile folks - you get 1 year of Paramount+ paid for, it'll auto-renew so remember to cancel. -- nm - colin Apr 20, 06:16

Excellent. Forgot to book a room tonight for our quick in/out to Indy for daughters concert. Don't have enough Hyatt points. Chase UR is down so - oblique Apr 20, 06:04
LYC - thought of you guys yesterday when our Rotary Club President announced that his daughter just signed Harrison Ford to his first TV series. - JenBro Apr 20, 06:02
LIR - Does this make sense? We bought season passes this year for our local theatre to get Hamilton next year. (Added) - Will Hunting Apr 20, 06:02 13
- Agreed on that seeming pretty crazy. I do think last year you underpaid, and they are taking advantage of DEH and Hamilton. - MDH Apr 20, 06:10
- Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 06:05
- Kilbo, thanks for the details from your experience. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 06:04 7
  - It’s the second time through here and when we bought a few weeks after on sale there were still a bunch available -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 20, 06:08 1
    - Echoing this. They are doing a second touring run here and Tickets are widely available still. -- nm - MDH Apr 20, 06:15
  - That does suck. For reference, our renewal cost in August for 2 people was $476. In 2018 it was $474. In 2016 it was $330. 2015 was $456. - oblique Apr 20, 06:08
  - Hopefully you can get tickets still. - ty97 Apr 20, 06:07 3
    - When we went in Chicago (non-subscription), we bought a block of group tickets (20 was the minimum I think) early before they sold out. Sold them to - oblique Apr 20, 06:12
    - That was our comment -- it'd be cheaper to go to Broadway -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 06:12
    - I mean, yeah. Let's do this! -- nm - Qale Apr 20, 06:10
- Are they upgrading your seat location? That's the only reason I could think of for that scale of difference. -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 06:03 2
  - Nope. Same seats. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 06:04 1
    - Yeah, that smells like bullshit to me. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 20, 06:08
