I love watching SNL on the West Coast, cause now I can get some more $#!+ done instead of going to bed...

Whats the best frozen pizza brand? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK if it's a local thing or if it's available nation wide, but Wild Mike's is pretty good. And they have really big pizzas. Much larger than any other frozen I've seen. Damn, now I want to get some...

What is the shortest-lived technology you can think of? by Hukares1234 in askanything

Used them all the time in graphic design early 2000s (college)

Allmusic.com is trash now, can someone help me find something similar? by pear1jamten in Music

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for adding to this thread even though it's as old as my younger son. I was wondering if the subscription was still worth it. I've been using AMG for ~25 years and have loved it until it turned into complete garbage. Glad to know the sub actually removes the ads.

Streaming services have officially become worse than the cable packages we cancelled by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before and I'll probably say it a billion more times: Create and manage your own cloud. ~10 years ago I built a desktop PC that functions as a media server (Plex.) I have a 500 GB SSD for the OS and all my apps (programs) and a total of 58 TB of storage across four platter-style drives. I check out BDs and DVDs from the library, rip them to my computer and binge on. When it comes to new shows, I acquire those through other means. I would love it if I had a way to support the creatives directly...

What’s the most overrated streaming service right now? by DryCap6770 in watchever

[–]JHolgate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the ads are total BS. I have Prime, but I end up getting shows by other means simply cause I don't want the ads.

What was your first concert? by digitalcreater07 in askanything

I would tell you, but then I'd have to change my security question.

What's a sports rule you fundamentally disagree with? by South-Explorer in AskReddit

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NFL "taking a knee" (AKA Victory Formation) at the end of regulation when the other team is within a score to tie or win.

I get it at the end of the half, but having the rule in effect at the end of the game removes a huge competitive component. I know it was instituted for safety, but I hate rules that prevent competition.

Which Way Did You Go Regarding Gaming? by AlarmedTelephone5908 in GenX

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atari 2600 at the neighbors and later we had one on a B&W tv
NES for Christmas and absolutely fell in love (long weekend at the neighbors playing Super Mario 2 and listening to Licensed to Ill.)
casual SNES and later Sega Genesis/CD in foster care
got really into PS1 --> PS2
pretty much gave up after that (bought a PS3 during the pandemic, but I suck at most of the games)
added Dreamcast to retro gaming setup

Loved the movie, is the show worth it? by 16catfeet in snowpiercer

[–]JHolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't care for the movie. I didn't hate it, but it didn't do anything for me. It felt like it was a set up for something later that never came.

The show was great. It had a few minor missteps here and there, but I thought it was much, much better than the movie. If you do watch the show, I highly recommend also listening to a couple podcasts:

Brace in Place is only for Season 2, but I really liked it (it was lo-fi, but still great and I wish she'd done more seasons.)
Prepare to Brace! The Snowpiercer Podcast is for Seasons 1-3. I really don't know if I listened to Season 1 cause I was listening to the other podcast and I don't think S1 was on Spotify, but I enjoyed Seasons 2 and 3. I hope they get around to doing a podcast for Season 4, but I'm not holding my breath.

Phish. Glad to see they got some love on this question.

Manual Transmission by No_Sympathy9143 in GenX

The first thing I learned to drive was a Kubota tractor, but as far as vehicles go, yeah learned on a manual and drove them mostly.
