It looks like somewhere along the way it caught the scent of a black hole.

If I owned a venue, I would "book" these things as often as possible and then cancel as late as contractually possible without penalties.

I'm fed on the 2025 cruise with my buddy, thanks to our scheming wives, and am curious if there is any advice or "pro-moves" we should know about.

Also, if you'd just like to share your experiences, that'd be cool, too.

The Godfather came out in 1972

Planet of the Apes in 1968

Apocalypse Now in 1979

Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977

2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968

Halloween in 1978

Taxi Driver in 1976

A Clockwork Orange in 1971....

Great cinema existed before the 80's.

My wife and I are moving from a condo to a house in a month and I'd like to set up a "proper" audio system on the property such that my wife can listen to one thing in her office, I can listen to something else in the garage, and my kids can listen to something in their rooms. The Sonos system is what I think I aspire to, but I haven't looked into things for a dozen+ years so don't really know what all is out there.

I currently have a bunch of Google pucks across the house, but would like better-quality audio than those provide.

Any alternatives to Sonos that have feature parity (or near-parity)?

I think a lot of people forget to check where they are before replying to things (me especially). Serious replies show up in shitposts and are then apologized for, joke comments are made in communities that are more serious, etc.

I was thinking it'd be nice to have the option to make me click through a confirmation of the community I'm in before crafting a data-driven response to something in an askmelolz group.

Bonus points for making it big and colorful :D

Whew! For a second there, I was worried that I agreed with Aaron Rogers.

I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the "no other gods before me" thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

If I'm paying for my goods and services with actual money, but using prop money for tips, is that bad? In my understanding, tips are given of one's own free will and would be considered a gift to the recipient, the same as if I gave flowers or cookies as a tip. I've also seen fake money passed off by religious people that looks fully real on one side, and has church propaganda on the other side.

This is a hypothetical question that came up when assembling a gag gift for my kid from my parent. I don't plan on doing it (though, there are some instances where it'd be VERY tempting...), but it does make me curious.

Is there a similar tool that will "poison" my personal tracked data? Like, I know I'm going to be tracked and have a profile built on me by nearly everywhere online. Is there a tool that I can use to muddy that profile so it doesn't know if I'm a trans Brazilian pet store owner, a Nigerian bowling alley systems engineer, or a Beverly Hills sanitation worker who moonlights as a practice subject for budding proctologists?

They're calling it an "unprecedented decision", but I like to think of it as a "precedent-setting decision".

Would be nice to see the homeless numbers expressed as a percentage of the population. The current view is misleading.

Better seen on Pornhub next to some anal fisting than on Twitter/X next to blatant nazi propaganda.

WRONG! After minorities, it's poor people. Then doing their job. :P
