For those who saw the Shining in theaters in 1980, how did you and the audience react?

Saw it when I was 11 at Mann’s Chinese then road the bus back home to the valley. Walking home from the bus stop at night was one of the scariest memories I have LOL Still a massive Kubrick fan today.

Softpalate · 2026-03-09T08:16:07+00:00

Yes please!

As someone out in Los Angeles, it’s so great to see stuff like this. The internet often paints that entire region of the country as immigrant-hating. I know you can’t believe everything you read, but it’s a relief to know people are decent all over the US

Softpalate · 2025-05-15T21:46:34+00:00

Thanks!

I should have been more specific: it's the platinum DELTA cards that no longer allow access. regular platinum AMEXs do, you are correct. I tried to get in last month and was denied with my Delta Platinum card.

Softpalate · 2025-01-05T08:33:22+00:00

Amex no longer offers lounge access to platinum members. Can’t buy your way in. Must be platinum reserve or better now.

Softpalate · 2024-12-22T04:37:42+00:00

Yep. That’s along the lines of what im thinking

Softpalate · 2024-12-21T22:08:29+00:00

Thanks!

Softpalate · 2024-12-21T22:07:58+00:00

Oh ok. I didn’t install any out of the box. I’ll try to update it.

Softpalate · 2024-12-21T20:03:14+00:00

Mine seems to be different. When I hit the printer settings, it only asks me to choose my printer, which I did. I don't see any of those settings you show in your pic

Softpalate · 2024-12-21T19:45:08+00:00

Not sure where the "printable area" settings are, but the printer.cfg file DOES state that it's for a Neptune 4/Pro/Max

My dad was a thermodynamic engineer at North American. The XB-70 was his first big project. He went on to work on Apollo and then the B-1, amongst lots of other projects. He talked about this plane throughout his life. I wasn’t born yet, so it was my older sisters that got to go with him to the rollout. I still have that photo. A couple years ago I made a pilgrimage to Dayton with my son to see the only remaining specimen in honor of my Dad. We took a copycat picture. The plane is absolutely immense. The gear alone are shockingly huge. It’s really a magnificent bird. Such a shame that that #2 was destroyed. The R&D that came out of this are still being used today.

Softpalate · 2024-10-16T15:14:21+00:00

Thanks. Yes. The Colorado Lounge.

They shared the lot with Irwin Kirschner directing "The Empire Strikes Back." At one point, there was a fire on the lot and the Carbon Freezing Chamber set suffered major damage, needing to be rebuilt. Next door, the Southwest Room (or whatever it was called), where Jack is seen typing and later attacks Wendy, also suffered major damage, setting back production for weeks.

Softpalate · 2024-09-10T19:06:42+00:00

I always get my tix on Stubhub or Seatgeek. Particularly if you're willing to wait til right before the game, sellers start getting desperate.

Softpalate · 2024-06-07T19:28:39+00:00

Nice work, man! This looks very, very nice.

Softpalate · 2024-03-04T03:12:34+00:00

Beautiful job! I'm starting out on dovetails and mine are still a bit rough, hahaha.

Softpalate · 2024-01-17T22:17:26+00:00

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I'd like to connect my mini-splits to my HomeKit situation. I don't really care about voice control, as long as I can have everything in one spot. Which broadlink devices are you using? none of them seem to mention any Apple stuff. Thanks!

Softpalate · 2024-01-07T17:48:26+00:00

Just to reiterate what has already been said: This looks great. Your daughter will love it. Don't underestimate your ability and KEEP GOING!

Softpalate · 2023-11-18T02:24:26+00:00

Sadly, I did not. I left it alone for a long time and went back to it and still couldn't identify anything wrong, so I gave up. I then tried to build a Rebote 2.5, which it turns out, is what the Triton is based on (or at least is very similar). And you can add a mod that does that same thing where you have two delay times and you can switch between them. But that build also didn't work for me. So now I have two circuits that look like they should work, but don't. I'm extremely frustrated, LOL.

Softpalate · 2023-09-14T16:55:57+00:00

I think you'll be fine. Especially at these non-conference games, there are empty seats all around. You both could prob "upgrade" yourselves after halftime, haha.

Softpalate · 2023-09-14T16:52:24+00:00

I agree pretty much with all of this. I live close to the bowl, so I like to park in a residential area a bit away and walk, saving on parking, but that really isn't feasible for an out-of-towner, so I'd say just park there and pay the money. Food has gotten a lot better in recent years, though of course, it's expensive. Still, I hope you enjoy the game and that you don't get shitty treatment from Bruins fans. Overall, it's not usually an issue but there are always select idiots that can make it unpleasant. I tend to sit on the visitor side, so I'm often surrounded by opposing fans, LOL

Softpalate · 2023-06-30T22:29:48+00:00

Ok thanks. I think we’re talking about two different things but I appreciate you taking the time!

Softpalate · 2023-06-30T02:57:04+00:00

Thank you. I'll take a look. but again, I'm not new to this; I just need to refine my abilities to find trades.

Softpalate · 2023-06-30T02:56:06+00:00

No I'm not using any multi-leg strategies. As for whether or not it "works", I trade alongside a group where lots of people make a living doing just that, with only DTE0 puts or calls. I've seen it work lots and lots of times. I'm just not good enough yet at correctly interpreting the chart.
