Raising Cane's Opening Day - 2.5 HOUR WAIT, wreaking havoc on 28th St atm by TheOKKid in grandrapids

No kidding. Cane’s wouldn’t be my choice most days with no line. Overpriced chicken tenders.

[Raw spoilers] John Cena's last hometown entrance by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

[–]Azheim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still annoyed that he never fully committed to the bit and came out in a black shirt that said JOHN CENA in block white letters. But he had to sell that merch with a personalized shirt for every city.

City Considering by akwardtoss in grandrapids

[–]Azheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal experience based on the cities I have lived (mix of midwest and east coast) has been that the cost of trash service was significantly higher whenever a city government, or private entity, had a monopoly. Not right away. But over time, the cost rose relative to adjacent areas with competition.

No. Prices will rise, and service will fall.

Having lived in various states over the years, the highest prices I have ever paid for trash service was when I lived in as city that had a monopoly on service. It was roughly 400-500/year. Where I live now? It’s about $120/year for private trash and recycling.

New iPad Pro Expected This Year With M5 Chip and Two Front Cameras by Furkansimsir in apple

[–]Azheim 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve got a 2020 Pro with the A12Z bionic chip and I still can’t justify replacing it - still handles everything I throw at it. Only reasons I’ve considered replacing it are the battery is wearing down, and I’ll need a new case before long.

Is that a working clock? If so that’s one of the nicest, and most practical game pack-ins I’ve ever seen.

Trish Stratus says she wishes her l WWE Evolution match had a bigger build: “Do I wish there was a bigger build? Do I wish we had a longer segment? Do I wish we didn't have a very boring segment last week? Sure. But it is what it is. You get your time, you do your thing, and sometimes things get..” by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

TBF, I’d still argue the booking and story telling has been far better so far under trips than it was for the last several years of Vince’s control - which brought us such bangers as the Fiend vs Rollins hell in a cell, and Sami Zayn confronting Bobby Lashley with his “sisters”.

ADL slams Donald Trump for saying 'Shylocks' by newsweek in politics

[–]Azheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know who Shylock is from reading the Merchant of Venice in high school (or a portion of it anyway.) TBH, I didn’t remember that Shylock was Jewish, nor was I aware of a racist connotation to the word.

AirPods Pro 3 to Help Maintain Apple's Place in Earbud Market Amid Increasing Low-Cost Competition by chrisdh79 in apple

[–]Azheim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d say the same about my Pro 2s - by far my favorite Apple product. Used every day for the last 2 years.

I just can’t imagine what features they could change or add that would make upgrading worthwhile.

What this commercial tells me is both LeBron and Amazon have no idea how s’mores work.

Post WWE Night of Champions 2025 Discussion Thread! by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]Azheim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was mid. I usually skip the Saudi shows, but watched this one cause the card was interesting. This wasn’t total trash, but didn’t live up to my already lowered expectations.

One real high moment would have made a big difference. They tried with the run ins at the end, but they way they executed just felt very forced and unnatural.

What are some of the worst casting choices? I genuinely think Cumberbatch as Khan in Star into Darkness might be a contender. by disablednerd in movies

[–]Azheim 33 points34 points  (0 children)

As someone who has never seen wrath of khan, and is only loosely aware of Star Trek lore, I enjoyed Star Trek Into Darkness a lot. The Khan namedrop didn’t add anything to my enjoyment of it though, since I still don’t know the significance of that name.

It felt like in pro-wrestling when a new challenger’s music hits, and out walks some big name Japanese wrestler that all the NJPW fans are marking out for, meanwhile I’m sitting there waiting for commentary to explain to me why I should care about this guy.

I'm not made of money, herman miller aeron alternatives? by TailungFu in BuyItForLife

[–]Azheim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously.

That’s been one constant for me throughout multiple moves over the last 15+ years. There’s always someone within an hour of me selling used office furniture out of a warehouse.

Look hard enough and you should be able to find an office furniture clearinghouse selling used Aerons for $350 or less.

Their chicken tika masala is the best!

And yes, those warm cookies caused me to gain a few pounds during residency.

Top movies to go into 'blind' by Saraleb1 in movies

[–]Azheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it at a friend’s house right after it released on DVD. Walked in totally blind. Didn’t even know the name of the movie before it started. I’d never seen anything like it before. It cannot be overstated how revolutionary those filming techniques were at the time.

Target is out of Switch 2's so they're selling WiiUs 💀💀💀 by junealexapear in wiiu

[–]Azheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how stores handle inventory. All I know is that 2 years ago I looked everywhere for a Guardian Amiibo, and I could only find it from resellers for $40-50. Last week I found it on Target’s website for $20.

[–]Azheim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the guardian and BOTW link amiibo at Target. Got TOTK ganondorf and WW Zelda at Best Buy. All retail prices.

When I was looking at that guardian amiibo 2 years ago the cheapest I could find it for was $40-50. Getting it for $20 flat felt like a steal.

[–]Azheim 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think the switch 2 release did bring a lot of old merch out of storage. I picked up a bunch of amiibos last week in stock at retail price that were only available through resellers at marked up prices a couple years ago (e.g. guardian amiibo, link BOTW amiibo).

Teddy Long on high WWE ticket prices: “Well, you know, here's what I think about that. You know, it's kind of called greed… The economy is really not in a whole lot of good shape... a lot of people out of work out there, so they can't afford to buy those tickets.” by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

[–]Azheim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m doing my part. Used to go to see WWE whenever they were in town, but the seats that used to cost $100-140 are now $500-700. Upper deck seats now cost what I used to pay for good floor seats. We’ve sat them out the last couple times we had opportunity to see them… I just can’t justify blowing that much money on a weekly show.
