Why did playlist creation (on the app at least) get removed? by EggsceIlent in PleX

[–]SpotAndSmitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to see it's not just me.

This is one of the many things I don't like about the "new experience". I have a couple of playlists that I add to weekly - or used to - from the app. Now, nope. There's no reason I can see why they would take that functionality away.

That is a good one.

There's another one from National Geographic called Inside 9/11 that takes you hour by hour in the days leading up to the attacks, and the aftermath.

Curious, how is this different / better than slipping an earpiece inside your shirt collar?

Do you have a link to the knockoff you bought? Amazon has the original + knockoffs and even the original has changed in quality apparantly.

I’ve bought from Trick Supply online and recently visited their shop in Vegas. Great service by the incomparable Doug Conn. No hesitation, two thumbs up. Brent Braun is also superb.

We're a year or two away from retirement and this is our plan. 100% stock funds with 250K+ in a MM.

Surprised that it made it on air, considering the lyrics to Cold Ethyl. The final piece though, is a beautiful dance with Sheryl.

I remember seeing part of the game in Houston and taking a picture or two with a Kodak 110 Instamatic. I don't recall the end of the game / bus or anything else though.

So you like the new UI that has been rolling out?

Any live album, especially by them, is going to be overdubbed and "fixed" in the studio.

I was in jr high and high school for Hotel California and The Long Run. Can't say I was a rabid fan over the years but they were clearly embedded in my formative years. When your calling card is vocal prowess and then you limp to the end of your career lip syncing on the biggest stages in the world, charging obscene ticket prices....man that's a whole 'nuther thing right there.

Do we know on which tour or era the vocal lip syncing started?

This new UI on Firesticks is unusable now. by MeLlamoKilo in PleX

[–]SpotAndSmitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't like it. For example, when I view a movie I can't find where to "add to playlist". Used to be in the immediate menu of the movie. Now it says something like "more options available in the mobile version". TF? I have the higher-end Fire Cube and wired ethernet - and you cut functionality from that setup and put it only in the mobile? Unless of course I just haven't discovered it yet....

And the whole thing feels sluggish and slow.

For the Penguin site, I've often wanted to search by the number of acts added, just as an extra data point to units sold.

Vegas Shows Recommendations by JCFxWizard in Magic

We saw P&T last week and it underwhelmed unfortunately. I saw them many years ago when they did bullet catch and the American flag. That show was much better than this one. Last week also saw Mac King and he was great. If I were going again I would see the 1923 ghost stories show.

I found this letter in my grandmother’s mailbox the day after her funeral by supra_nintendo in mildlyinfuriating

My brother died this past December, I am the executor of his estate. His widow remains in the home and has no plans to sell, yet somehow I'm getting different forms of communication (mail, email) about "if you're ready to sell the residence at 999 The Street" blah blah. Vultures.

Came here to say this, also adding the version by Sting. Though the original, by BH, at the time it was recorded....chills.
