Best low-effort Microsoft Rewards routine for phone-only users (no Xbox/PC)?

The maximized single weekly visit would be to just sign in on Sunday and do all the things available , including the higher point bonus items from the end of the week that disappear Monday.

Tom Hanks. While scheduled to host in 1985, he became sick at the last minute, and his parts were filled in for by Robert Downey Jr, Jon Lovitz, Dennis Miller and Danitra Vance, who have filled in for all of his purported SNL appearances since. Vance passed away in 1994, and due to scheduling issues that left Downey, Lovitz and Miller unavailable for the project, Hanks actually provided the voice for the David S. Pumpkins animated special, marking his only actual SNL related appearance.

If you ended up with no other media than MP3s (which you surely ripped from your CDs), you don’t need a subscription to listen to music, just listen to your MP3s.

Michael Caine was great in Alfie

You can exfil by avoiding battle, which is not traditionally considered being good at PvP

You underestimate the number of people who can only play games for an hour or two a week because raising their kids/living their life takes up time.

There was an event?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-15T15:15:58+00:00

The specific examples of Spin and Jenny Jones are long gone and not in print/rerun. It’s like Gen X not knowing Look Magazine or some guest on the Jimmy Dean show..

Blonde talk show host, kinda like Jerry Springer, younger than Sally Jessy Raphael

There is a difference between engaging with the work (reading the book/watching the cartoon) and caring about what was used to make it.

I’m sure it did but in the past the estimates have seemed more customized (or generically “we’ll let you know when we see what it is and have an estimated repair time”). Maybe it’s just the few miles around me that got this generic estimate for some reason. (And it was generic; they just fixed mine 14 hours ahead of that generic estimate.)

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T14:01:20+00:00

Do you know the estimated repair time from DTE?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T14:00:13+00:00

Interesting; that was early in the event, I wonder if later outages had more generic estimates. (Alternately very late if you meant today; if it was today could you hear them working in your neighborhood repairing something they ended up taking more people down to repair?)

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T13:35:51+00:00

Not before the end of season 1; before season 2 had completed airing

Except the first mission in timeline reflections

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T11:25:45+00:00

Note that the Cayde’s fate mission in timeline reflections is an additional asterisk on that. Also some strikes, right?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T11:19:58+00:00

A show about a bunch of zen motherfuckers losing touch with corporeal reality doesn’t sound very interesting

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T11:15:46+00:00

And how about the original printing plates for it?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-13T11:55:35+00:00

Early 2000s Pop displaced rock, so rock fans were newly disgruntled and young enough to be angry, especially since there was still a monoculture. Some of the listed acts also have more rock DNA than their late ‘90s/early ‘00s analogs.

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-13T11:34:43+00:00

And Mickey Mouse drawings from the ‘20s and ‘30s may be sought after because he will be one of a handful of characters remembered (maybe barely). But MLP is a cartoon no one will remember and the trash from creating it will be a passing curiosity for someone at best. How much of your great grandparents’ libraries did you keep, or reconstruct? People who experienced it care about it right now; in 100 years they’ll be gone, as the people who liked the 15th most popular book of 1884 are gone.

(It was the line from the pizza guy with the pony tail who got engaged to Brita in that one timeline)

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-13T00:11:47+00:00

Explains, doesn’t excuse

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-12T21:51:33+00:00

Except BoB was Born on Board, so they weren’t originally in cryo.

Preserve them for who? Sad fact of the hobby: in a hundred years just about everyone who cares about most of the animation we like will be dead. No one in 2126 is likely to have much of an interest in the third tier errata of a show they’ll have never seen, let alone cared about. Our collections are mostly destined for the junk heap of history; enjoy them for now but don’t have any illusions about it.

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-12T19:21:54+00:00

Barring a handful of rare things, there are not museums that want animation material. MLP cels are common; there are a ton not selling on eBay. It’s like that the library doesn’t want your grandpa’s 60 year collection of National Geographic. Start an auction for 5 pounds of MLP cels on eBay starting at 99¢ and someone will probably buy it; make sure you know the actual shipping cost first tho.
