You know, it probably wasn’t a great idea to get my flu and Covid booster a little more than a week after being sick. - tRuMaN Oct 28, 09:45

- Imagine if it wasn’t day and date. I know my sister would have taken her kids but they’re watching on Peacock tonight instead. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 08:23 13
  - for a project like this. I think it would be the same. Certainly not the case for every movie. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 08:24 12
    - Correct. The Venn Diagram on who would go but didn't is minute. - David Oct 28, 09:38
    - Disagreed. I think we were going to go. Luckily, we get to use Logan's college ID number (heh) to get Peacock for cheap! -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44 5
      - ogan is in college??!! -- nm - jnine Oct 28, 09:21 2

      - ummm -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:00
      - *does the math* I have questions. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 09:00
    - Industry projections are currently it caused a 10-15% reduction in OW. Certainly not as big as other day/date, but not insignificant. -- nm* - MDH Oct 28, 08:30 4
      - says more about peacocks paltry 28m subs than Uni’s wisdom in throwing it up there opening weekend -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 09:01
      - Sure. But it worked for Halloween, and that took a hit as well. It looks like Peacock is going to do a Halloween treat every year. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:00 2
        
        Three straight years, three straight successes. It's proof of a concept for a narrative many in Hollywood hate. -- nm - David Oct 28, 09:47 1
        
        I will say I think it's project or even genre specific. Horror I think gets more eyes at home than at theaters. So theater $$ is winning House money. - Remlik Oct 28, 09:50
- Uni features are good again -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 08:20
- Audience stats: 80% under 24; 40% Latino, 37% white; A- Cinemascore -- nm - MDH Oct 28, 08:17 1

Crap! Went to turn on my Xbox controller and it was dead. Apparently a battery leaked. Looks like I need a new controller. -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 06:26 2

  - HA! Seriously! -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 09:59
Since it was brought up below, what's the best option for backup storage at home? Is an external HD good enough? Do I want or need a NAS? -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 05:37 6
- NAS is kind of overkill vs a SSD (caveat, unless you are doing media server stuff) -- (edited) - Reagen Oct 28, 05:55 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 06:07
- I have a (solid state) hard drive at my office. I wouldn’t be comfortable with everything in my house, but I live in a high bushfire risk area. - mafic Oct 28, 05:50 3
  - I meant using an SSD in an external case and I just want somewhere to backup my laptop and phone. Nothing crazy but lots of pics, videos and such. -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 28, 05:56 2
    - $100 a year is a bargain if you've ever had a HD fail on you without a backup. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 07:14
    - Yep, same. I just don’t like having the drive in the same place as the computer/phone. -- nm - mafic Oct 28, 07:01

  - To be expected from a HHH mark. - the wrong element Oct 27, 21:55 7
    - It’s the best thing he ever did. -- nm - Tim Oct 27, 22:04 6
      - Unfortunately he wrote a movie I really liked with Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick. - the wrong element Oct 28, 10:01
      - Wait, isn't that guy like mega-cancelled? -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:15 4
        
        Yes, so he lost a bunch of stuff that would likely never be made. -- nm - the wrong element Oct 28, 10:10
        
        oh yeah. he's trash. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 07:46
        
        In 2019, so we’ve had a pandemic, and an essay playing it down, and now this is the ‘I’m the real victim here’ portion of the story. -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 22:17 1
        
        Gross. -- nm - David Oct 27, 22:35
  - I can’t imagine he would have that volume of work and absolutely none of it would be backed up. That’s fishy. -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 27, 21:05 4
    - Having dealt with many many enterprises of vastly varying sizes: no it isn’t. Happens all the time. - mafic Oct 28, 05:52
    - Martin Scorsese once left 61 reels of film in a steamer trunk on the docks at Cape Liberty. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 21:29 1
      - "Marty, no, don't you remember? That wasn't reels of film. That was Bobby D in the trunk!" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 21:59

What’s a “scooped bagel?” -- nm - FlavorizeThis Oct 27, 19:00 11
- nothing that anyone in LA actually eats -- nm* - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 20:09
- A travesty -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 19:45
- I do scoops, you know? -- nm - .the idol Oct 27, 19:44

  - Yeah—I’ve never heard of this—seems like a lot of extra work. Saw a TikTok of a Californian complain he can’t get one in a NY Deli -- (edited) - FlavorizeThis Oct 27, 19:49 6
    - Haha! But that's not going to happen in a bagel store. They'll scoop it out for you, no questions asked. - Krusty Oct 27, 19:58 3
      - Also, why are they getting their bagel in a deli? We have so many bagel stores and you know it's their specialty as it's in their name. - Krusty Oct 27, 20:00 2

- One of our kids at the library was Little Red Ridinghood, which we may not have recognized except that her dad was the Big Bad Wolf in one of - Meg Oct 27, 21:07
- There was one dad there who could have pulled off a fantastic Wee John Feeney or Hodor, but was just dressed like normal. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 20:41 1
  - I mean, he wasn't 6'10", but he was at least 6'1" and had the face and hair for it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 20:43

  - Ah, multiple marios -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 19:09
  - How many Astronauts versus Vampires? - ReluctantCynic Oct 27, 19:00 3
    - An even split, but if you extend vampires to all ghouls, the astronauts are losing -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 19:04 2
      - Good thing we're all purists on ST and BF is rife with orthodoxy. - ReluctantCynic Oct 27, 19:41 1
