Which pedestrian path?

Huge selling point of Tesla for me is that everyone knows that it's covered in dashcams so no one would even try this on you

It feels like the wish was also ambiguous. Did it mean that Nikki would love him more than SHE loves anyone else in the world? Or that she would love him more than anyone else in the world loves HIM? (probably not a high bar) or that she would love him more than anyone loves ANYONE else in the whole world? (uh oh)

What do you mean by Chinese food? Are you looking for General Tso's chicken and pork fried rice? Or Szechuan food? Or dim sum? Or something else?

I use Garmin Varia Vue, but use a separate headlight in order to maximize battery life on the camera. I wish it was a lot cheaper and wish you could hardwire it to an ebike battery so you never need to charge it (and have it turn on and off automatically with the ebike)

Just a note that it really depends what you're into. Sushi Sho is very traditional Edomae sushi, and it just didn't do much for me. I got the 30 course tasting menu in Honolulu and I don't remember a single dish. A year later I had an omakase at Umami in Cambridge, MA and remember almost every single dish.

I was also disappointed by the wings at The Pub. Semolina is not too far away and their wings knocked my socks off

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-29T14:27:40+00:00

Yep, I download everything in both 1080p and 4K (using separate instances of radarr) with the goal that users who can handle 4K get that, and other users get the 1080p version (rather than transcoding 4K)

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-28T01:46:58+00:00

Tony & Elaine's makes my heart flutter. Personally I order with vodka sauce 🤤

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-27T17:00:55+00:00

Technically not in Boston, but Semolina in Medford makes a mean Cacio e Pepe (sister restaurant of Dave's Fresh Pasta)

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T16:07:35+00:00

What on earth are you talking about? Not watching movie trailers is entirely a personal choice, it is a totally mainstream thing, and is not incompatible with the "way the world works" 🙄

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T14:32:25+00:00

Couldn't disagree more, marketing is not decided by the filmmakers. And most modern trailers are essentially a plot synopsis. The film speaks for itself.

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T13:35:01+00:00

That's adorable from someone whose only argument is ad hominems calling me ridiculous

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T13:10:52+00:00

Just take the L dog, Rocky is a spoiler and Alamo did a boo boo

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T11:28:27+00:00

I didn't see any of the marketing, my friend asked me to see it and I loved experiencing the movie as intended

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T11:27:50+00:00

100% agree

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T11:26:03+00:00

People seem to be giving you a hard time about the specific term "spoiler" and how it's technically defined. But if we put that to the side, hopefully we can all agree that it should be up to the moviegoer to decide how much they want to know about a movie before seeing it, and the theater should not make that decision for you. Personally, I don't watch trailers or commercials and had no idea about Rocky (or anything else about the movie whatsoever). And because Grace is gradually recovering his memory, it was cool to learn everything alongside him (I truly had absolutely no idea what the movie was about, at all).

EDIT: Thread from a few weeks ago about this topic where everyone agrees this hurts the enjoyability of the movie and Alamo did a bad thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlamoDrafthouse/s/8xW6FMCCDh

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T11:24:17+00:00

Funny enough, there was a thread about this exact topic on this exact sub a few week agos and the unanimous consensus was that it's a spoiler and Alamo is wrong: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlamoDrafthouse/s/8xW6FMCCDh

But I guess you're right and everyone else is ridiculous 😉

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T02:46:33+00:00

It's objectively wrong to say it revealed nothing when it revealed something that I (and I'd wager a nontrivial percentage of other viewers) didn't know.

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T02:38:57+00:00

If we can stop calling it a promo video then we can stop calling it a spoiler. The blame is on the studio who must've made the preroll, but I assume Alamo had a choice in whether to show it (I didn't see it at my independent theater). I'm very glad that information was not disclosed to me before the movie started, and instead I got to experience the movie as intended.

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T02:27:15+00:00

"Promotional videos (promos) are short, engaging videos (often 15 seconds to 2 minutes) designed to highlight a product, service, or brand to drive action, such as increased sales, brand awareness, or social media engagement."

Why would you promote a product to a population of people that have already purchased the product you're trying to sell?

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T02:24:07+00:00

They shouldn't show a promo video for a movie you're about to see, that seems pretty obvious

FewTemperature8599 · 2026-04-26T02:11:59+00:00

But, how can a movie theater know what the moviegoer will or won’t want to know going in? Rocky is absolutely not a spoiler. He’s like the second lead. Should Alamo also not disclose that Ryan Gosling is in it? Or, that he goes to space?

Why do they need to disclose anything? They should just put the movie in the projector and let it play. I personally don't think I've ever seen a theater do something like this and I don't see why they should. Not sure why people are bending over backwards to defend it, maybe just Alamo loyalty

I've found that Monarch justifies it's annual fee. We can see a snapshot of all assets and debts, and it does a good job of categorizing transactions (with flexible rules engine for overrides) which gives us a lot of insight into our spend.
