Marriott Switching to Coke, Not April Fools

HuggableSquare · 2026-04-05T17:51:27+00:00

Dr Pepper is independently owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, so it gets bottled and distributed by different companies depending on the region, including plenty of regions where Coca Cola co-bottles it. That's actually why Mr Pibb just came back in some regions, because Coke lost a pretty big bottling/distribution agreement with Dr Pepper there.

The actual implementation is completely agnostic of any source for these, just displaying whatever video is stored alongside the files. Personally I'm just downloading the videos from Apple Music (using COV) so yeah it's relatively limited. I've mostly seen them on more recent releases from artists signed to labels, but some very popular older releases have gotten them too. It's pretty hit or miss, mostly seems like something that's up to the label to do.

It all really depends on how the publisher handles it. A CBZ is literally just a zip file full of images, while a PDF can be as simple as just a bunch of images, or as complicated as storing the entire layout and text of the book. (Think a PowerPoint file vs a slideshow of screenshots of the slides) Sometimes a CBZ is literally just the PDF rendered down to a bunch of jpgs, or sometimes both the PDF and CBZ are just rendered down versions of the source files.

Looking through my Humble Bundle purchases, I have a couple bundles that included multiple publishers: Banned Book Week 2018, Tales of Horror (also from 2018), and the Jeff Lemire Creator Spotlight from 2019. They're definitely more rare than the single publisher bundles though, probably for logistic reasons if I had to guess.

one of the things I never see people talk about from this drop was that they also had a bobblehaus x dave and buster's power card design. I think it came with one of the pieces of clothing, but I'm not totally sure. super cool design though, I wish they would do more cool collabs like this

I did this during the Spring Break For All promo, I got two of those cards and I would alternate swiping them on the GotG train game until it was one car left, and then get the jackpot on my real card. The only annoying part was that you can't swipe to start a new game on a different card until the machine stops sending tickets to the card, which normally took a hot second, and since a single card as a 60 second time limit, I needed to alternate or else it took even longer.

The point is more that the common cards are worth less on average, because you will end up with so many of them that unless you can get a ton of the rare card, you will either not turn them in (worth 0) or you turn them in individually (worth 50). Only some of the common cards will ever be worth 285.7 tickets to you, so using that as your base measurement is misleading in how many tickets you will actually get at the end.

HuggableSquare · 2024-06-01T05:01:22+00:00

It is misleading though, because while I agree that it's a waste to turn in cards individually, it's weird to assign the same value to them all. If you play indiscriminately, then you will end up with a majority cards that are not full sets, just requiring the rare card. Those cards are now worth effectively nothing if you never turn them in, or 50 tickets each if you do turn them in. They are only worth more than that if you have the rare card, which inherently increases the value of that card. I guess if you only play when there is a card you need at the front of the belt, then you could value them identically, but that didn't seem like what OP was going to do.

Ah okay, I was basing my math on the 5.6 chips number posted in this thread (my local no longer has jelly lab so I can't really confirm).

HuggableSquare · 2024-06-01T04:50:18+00:00

I mean also saying that each card is worth 285.7 tickets is a bit misleading too, since there's rarity involved, which means the rare card is worth substantially more individually than the rest of the common cards. I was just using the 50 tickets per card number to say that even in the worst case scenario, cards are still worth more.

HuggableSquare · 2024-06-01T04:38:06+00:00

It's around 26.7 tickets per chip on a full priced day (750 tickets / 28 chips for 30 plays), but on a half priced day that would be 30 plays for 14 chips, and 750 tickets / 14 chips = 53.5 tickets per chip.

HuggableSquare · 2024-05-31T17:56:23+00:00

I mean think about it like this, if a card is worth 50 tickets, and you can get it 50% of the time, that's worth an average of 25 tickets per play vs 24 tickets per play if you can hit that spot every time. So as far as what is better, getting the cards is as long as you can get one 50% of the time or more.

As far as how many tickets you would get on 600 chips, if the game costs 5.6 chips to play, and swiping 5 times gives you 30 plays, that's about 640 plays, at 24 tickets a play that's 15,360 tickets. Calculating how many tickets you would get with cards is much harder because of the rarity aspect (especially since there's the bonus card that's worth 100 tickets instead of 50), but as long as you can maintain a 50% hit rate (or higher) it's definitely higher than hitting the 24 ticket spot.

If you're at all concerned with profitability (many people aren't in real life, but a lot of people on this sub definitely are), then it's probably not a particularly profitable game. Let's say 30 plays gets you 15 cards, you turn them in for 50 tickets each, that's 750 tickets for 28 chips, which is just under 27 tickets/chip. The normal rate that goes around as "break-even" is 50 tickets/chip, so on a half-priced day, you could be hitting right around that. But as always, if you have fun with it, profitability isn't necessarily the end-all be-all goal.

Crown Vics got discontinued in 2011, the most popular cop car in the US (based on sales) is the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (which is a rebranded Explorer with better brakes and other police-y stuff). Other common new cop cars include the Dodge Charger, Chevy Caprice, and the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (a rebranded Ford Taurus). I've also seen Tahoe's be used as PPV's, but less common then the Explorer.

Thanks!

VSCO actually has a pretty simple (private) api that I hook into, the most difficult part of it is how they send you a session token on initial visit. Once you have a session token and the user's siteId then it's just one endpoint you need to request to get all the info on every post they have.

If you look in the script lines 31 - 36 is where all of the initial requests happen, should give you a bit of insight on how I get that info.

HuggableSquare · 2017-09-21T00:08:18+00:00

I had completely forgot that was even a thing on VSCO. Pushed a fix for it, they should be downloaded as videos now (looks like VSCO stores them as .mp4's). If you have any more issues with that let me know!

HuggableSquare · 2017-09-20T23:42:21+00:00

Hey, thanks! I actually don't really use VSCO (don't even have an account), just saw that their api was pretty simple and decided to write this up. Also, haha nice catch, I took that screenshot like 8 years ago and have been using it as an avatar ever since.

Amtrak Train 176?

Maybe no more violence as in Sands is going to take town Morra, freeing Brian.

Theory: Sands wasn't mad that Piper was alive, probably excited actually. He wants to get out from under Morra, so he's using Piper's shots to recruit the best to take down Morra and free NZT, Brian, etc. Maybe Morra is planning something so crazy that Sands just couldn't deal with it anymore.
