Edit: here’s a Piped version

MoviePass and Sinemia got me into like 50 movies. I think my favorite part of that glorious year (less, but let’s round) was when one of the services just stopped working one day and I had prepaid for a year’s service. I reached out to my credit card company and said I got shorted X months of the service. They refunded me the full amount of the prepaid year, so I essentially got months of newly released movies (I’d typically go on Friday afternoons to have fewer people in the theater and the line for concessions) for free.

I should add, the RunPee app saved me so many times I can’t even tell you. Seriously, my favorite app even tangentially related to movies. Get the Infinity Coin if that’s still offered, it’s a great deal for a lifetime of not missing the good parts, especially if you see Christopher Nolan movies regularly.

They made it to the WCF after a huge trade deadline team upgrade. Given that most of the core pieces of the team that beat the Warriors and the Grizzlies are back, why wouldn’t they be a contender? What teams got significant upgrades in the West to stand in their way that weren’t there the last time around? Plus given the injuries and new team, the Lakers spent the last 1/3 of the season figuring out their team chemistry, even to the point where the play-in game was one of the first where the Playoff lineup was even on the floor together. No meteors needed, just the Lakers to play consistently and stay healthy. LeBron and AD can manage their minutes because the new team can put up points without them, and that means good things at the end of the season. What the Lakers are missing is a good bruiser of a center who can take the physicality of Jokic and save AD from foul trouble. If they fill that gap, I don’t know if even the Nuggets have a team that can beat them.

He’s really saying the Lakers FO did a good enough job putting a team around him that he thinks they’re contenders for another title. He knows he’s getting to the end of his career so if he’s going to risk his chance of playing with Bronny, there’s got to be a really strong chance for another ring. Considering how the Lakers started and how the season ended at the WCF, bringing back Reaves and Hachimura made it clear he won’t have to carry the team the whole way to the Playoffs and hopefully a championship.

I’ll see if I can put in a suggestion over there too. I’m used to r/ApolloApp and r/ApolloAppBeta being the places to interact with the dev, so while I understand using Github for version/issue/documentation tracking and updating, I think using this community for bugs and feature requests is better because it doesn’t send people to another site, and keeping people here then further builds the Voyager community.

I literally tried it by habit, in the Voyager community right after I posted. I’m not old enough to be too set in my ways to change, right?

Harden out there going “hey, what about me?”

One of the ones I used during 2020 was a biohazard screen from Resident Evil. Another was from Rogue One, with a nice shot of the Death Star getting ready to fire. I think it set the right tone.

My main complaint with crypto is not the underlying idea of a digital currency, is that people used it as a straight investment like it was a normal stock, they traded it like it was a different currency without understanding currency trading fundamentals, or they used it as a hedge against the USD/Pound/Euro collapsing as though that would gain without taking down the complete grid which is how crypto transactions get tracked against the public ledger. Yes, P2P crypto rejections are possible, but in a collapse scenario they’re effectively useless, even more so than gold and silver, and I’m a big believer that the only true precious metals in a grid down scenario are lead, steel, and brass in the forms of tools and weapons to defend communities.

Gold has value as a transaction medium in some scenarios, but they depend on being able to accurately assay the quality and weight, neither of which lend themselves to quick transactions in small purchases. It’s also super heavy, and since the mined coins are a full or half ounce, in a collapse scenario they’re too valuable for little things, which means massively overpaying and therefore spending the hedge at an accelerated rate.

In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
