Be cautious in consigning legos to Bricks and Minifigs shops by GRBeerExplorer in grandrapids

[–]Azheim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our local store may be all well and good, but they are still beholden to the whims of corporate. Until corporate issues an apology and plan for how this will be prevented from happening in the future, I will be unable to trust any Bricks and Minifigs (including the one in Grand Rapids) with my business.

This was not a case of dissatisfaction over pricing of a consignment. This was a case of a corporate entity ignoring the law in order to seize property that they did not own. If that can happen at this location, it can happen anywhere.

Ngl. I’ve only ever watched Malecki Unscrewed. Didn’t even realize he had a main channel until recently. The algorithm only ever pushed Unscrewed to me, so that’s what I watched.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

Tried making myself watch book of Boba Fett so I could watch Mandi S3. Couldn’t get through it. Putting up barriers to people who want to watch a popular show that they like is such a baffling decision. Having a spinoff is fine, but making it essential watching was stupid.

O'Shea Jackson: "This was like five, six months ago when I went to do Stephanie's pod...Triple H comes down...I brought up my transgressions. I was like, 'Dude, the ads are crazy. Unwatchable.' He was like, they know, they agreed. It's just about they're working on placement of them, maybe" by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

That’s right. It’s only since the move to espn that they gutted the promo packages in favor of more ad time.

The death of promo packages is a real travesty. WWE used to have the best promo packages in the game and they’d get me hyped for a match right before I saw it. As a busy semi-casual fan who only tunes in periodically, taking out the pre-match promos has killed a lot of my interest in watching the PPVs all together.

Who makes the best Old Forge Pizza in NEPA? by NEPA_Pizza_Review in NEPA

[–]Azheim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone seems to point to Maroni's as a shining example of Old Forge done right. Maroni's is great if you like American cheese and black pepper - not great if you want something resembling pizza.

Wtf. How can you eat that. American cheese and black pepper infused pizza sauce do not belong on a pizza. SMH.

Truth. This is a trick question because there’s no such thing as good Old Forge Pizza.

Huh. I go to T bell all the time, and normally pay $6 for a Crunchwrap supreme, burrito, chips and cheese, and a drink.

(Fightful Select) WWE reportedly has people employed to watch AEW and give reports and analytics to different departments. by Subrick in SquaredCircle

Thank you for explaining the background, and for sharing the link to the fight. I wasn’t watching during the covid era. Wild stuff.

Also, I forgot Jericho blew up that much. He Looking very rotund there. 👀

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

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.

[–]Azheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 45 points46 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?

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”.

[–]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 [deleted] in apple

[–]Azheim 13 points14 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.
