  - I think I've asked you this before, any suggest on what to do with my old Thinkpad? - sycor Dec 6, 11:51 1
    - yeah, unless you have some home tinkering project where you need an LCD screen, it's probably destined for the scrap heap -- nm - oblique Dec 6, 11:53
  - 1) It's an m2 nvme ssd, so I'm 99.5% sure the new drive will fit. 2) I'm not terribly worried about backups... - Ender Dec 6, 11:40 4

  - EEAAO is secretly the multiversal Section 31 Star Trek spin-off, change my mind ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 6, 11:24 4
    - Nearly correct, but you've reversed the dependency order. -- nm - One Baron Posting Dec 6, 11:37 3
      - Maybe. Or maybe order is a fabrication of perspective. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 6, 11:40 2
        
        Just like clockwise vs. counterclockwise changes depending on whether you look from the top or bottom! - One Baron Posting Dec 6, 11:44 1

I just had to log into my McDonald's account via my Apple account which wouldn't use my Google account and asked me to use my Facebook account. - David Dec 6, 10:47 11
- They'd ask for your OnlyFriends, but nobody's wanted more David's Backyard Adventures since 2003. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 11:08 1
  - I got old. -- nm - David Dec 6, 11:26
- Deals and prices on App are cheaper for me -- nm - budice Dec 6, 10:49 8
  - Last time I tried to use the app the food came up more expensive than ordering at the store. I've never used their app again. -- nm - sycor Dec 6, 11:04
  - Last night my McDonald’s order was $8 and the amount saved was $9. Their app is A tier. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 10:58 1
    - It’s not bad but their deals are marginal. BK and Wendy’s are excellent. - Tim Dec 6, 11:04
  - That and if you modify your order so much easier on app. -- nm - spamlet Dec 6, 10:53 4
    - So much less awkward to put in special orders. - Tim Dec 6, 10:55 3
      - Yep. I'll be doing this in a few minutes. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 6, 11:05
      - At least with McD, it will save the orders too so since whenever I do go I order the same thing, it's one tap (even with modifications) -- nm - spamlet Dec 6, 11:02 1
        
        Yup to all of this. -- nm - MDH Dec 6, 11:15

tim (and anyone else with eyes that see) the numbers are pretty clear -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 10:05 24
- I'm not sure when one can start comparing pre-and-post COVID numbers, but I don't think 2022 is the year. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 10:40 4
  - probably should wait until Peacock and Paramount Plus fully go tits up, honestly -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 10:55 3
    - I look forward to the A24 streaming service. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 11:12 2
      - Apple should probably throw a lot of money at them to get exclusivity -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 11:23 1
        
        Might be too ‘adult’ for them. But pay for “first pick” definitely. -- nm - Qale Dec 6, 12:59
- What percent of total movies were Marvel movies 2019 vs. 2022? That would affect the average box office per movie stat. -- nm - Dano Dec 6, 10:16 8
  - 3/97 (3.1%) for 2019, 3/61 (4.9%) for 2022. -- nm - Inigo Dec 6, 10:39 7
    - but post Endgame, Marvels are also just down generally across the board (other than Sony’s Spidey stuff). not sure you can count on them to return to - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 10:47 6
      - Definitely not, and Marvel won't get to those heights again. - Inigo Dec 6, 10:55 5
        
        That's a LOT of pressure you're putting on Disney as the top four there. -- nm - David Dec 6, 11:28 4
        
        Elemental and Wish are wildcards, but not necessary for things to improve. - Inigo Dec 6, 11:49 3
        
        Oh, 2023 pretty much has to be better by default, but the fundamental erosion isn't going away. - David Dec 6, 12:06 2
        
        thank god Tom Cruise and Paramount never bought into this snake oil. theatrical will certainly continue to erode if you stop putting all your features - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 12:17 1
        
        Oh, that's a good point. We've got one film skewing 2022 domestic box office by 12%. So maybe 2023 won't be that much better. -- nm - David Dec 6, 12:42
- That was the tweet I was looking for. that average would not be remotely sustainable if it were the same amount of releases. - Tim Dec 6, 10:16 5
  - It's less an issue of films going to streaming than it is less movies being made overall for 2022 at least. - Inigo Dec 6, 10:43
  - theaters cannot exist on four tentpoles from the major studios a year alone. and studios can’t afford to make $250m tentpoles just for streaming - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 10:32 3
    - Correct. They can't. So, you would expect someone in that position not to try to dictate terms with potential suppliers. - David Dec 6, 10:44 2
      - If the suppliers were honest brokers who had the whole industry’s interest at heart, maybe - hollywood big shot Dec 6, 10:51 1
        
        As opposed to the source of your tweet, the...National Association of Theatre Owners? -- nm - David Dec 6, 11:27
- Would this be due to production stoppages due to COVID? It seems like if Production was halted in 2020/2021 we would see the effect now. -- nm - Dano Dec 6, 10:13 3
  - And most of the movies that were held back have released one way or another. -- nm - Tim Dec 6, 10:13 2
    - I haven't looked, but does 2023 look like it's more normal in terms of volume of releases? -- nm - Dano Dec 6, 10:14 1
      - Yes, it's way more films. Big budget and smaller films. -- nm - Inigo Dec 6, 10:36
¡Hijo de puta! - Mop Dec 6, 10:04 1
- They were playing by an obscure rule that says that if you complete 1,000 passes in a game, no matter, the score, you win automatically. (NM) -- nm - Marlowe Dec 6, 10:53
