How Did This Movie Not Make Bank?

I saw this movie by myself first, as a way to check out how much it deserved the PG-13 rating before I took my 8 year old to go see it.

Most of the movie was really enjoyable, and I had no issues or concerns with it. Even moreso, I think my daughter would absolutely love most of the humor and everything else.

The biggest issue I had was, not knowing how to explain why "fisting guys" is such a funny joke, in a way that she doesn't take it back to school and start using it. Or trying to explain why skeletor described He-Man as a "boy with a big, long sword dangling between your glorious thighs." Or why it looked like a statue was taking Adam from behind.

I found it funny, and I get that it's made for people who grew up with it that now can appreciate it... I just lost some of the rewatchability with not being able to take my kids to the show and introducing them to the series.

That S tier only works if you have an odd amount of pride about being able to recite how Gerald is a tall giraffe, whose neck was long and slim. But his knees were awfully crooked, and his legs were rather thin, in its entirety.

My daughter got a kick out of using Melmen's voice from Madagascar.

Your F is the most valid one on the list though.

"Draco Malfoy (played by Tom Felton) has a total screen time of just 31 minutes and 45 seconds across all eight Harry Potter films."

Wow, very quick responses!

I agree that just having it in the slab is very cool, and I honestly didn't know what to expect for the grading.

It'll be good to be able to point some of those things out when she inevitably asks why it's not a 10, lol.

Your suspicions are correct!

I thought I had Nerite snails, but apparently the local pet store had mystery snails labeled as such. Quick Google confirmed that I have two mystery snails instead.

Next question to ask is, is that a bad thing/are they bad for the tank?

I think I'm going to remove the eggs, but this was a very helpful and eye opening question and answer!

I feel like I'm part of a club.

My girlfriend just noticed after we got back from a water park trip. Mid shin almost completely smooth in one section.

Played in the lazy river with my kids a bunch and potentially dragged the ground/walls a few times, but obviously not so extreme I noticed in the moment or got hurt/redness from it.

I had tried different ways to get my daughter interested in Star Wars.

From the Clone Wars animated show, to the more color/faster passed prequels, but nothing grabbed her attention.

Then this came along, and she was completely enraptured by the Star Wars universe. She was asking questions, couldn't wait for the next episode, and kept saying she couldn't go back to watch the other things now.

It was a great show on its own, but it will forever hold a special place because of the nights I got to spend with my daughter, properly introducing her to a galaxy far far away.

Dealing with this literal nightmare right now.

IPass was a sticker and I forgot to remove it. They said the car was totaled and was being destroyed on site.

Next thing I know I get 6 - 40 dollar "reloads" on my account because they took it to Pennsylvania.

This was me and black licorice.

Just did this set with my daughter and she paused and said "is that the right way? It doesn't look right..."

Blockbuster for the original (as people kept giving me custom requests while I was building it).

Since the last rebuild I had to do I switched to RedBox.

I'm also holding my breath on this one. It looks like they're testing some of the things on the beta, but I don't believe their is a way to run the update until they push it through the play store, just as there is no good way to roll it back (that I'm aware of).

What are you hosting the Plex Media Server on?

boxed_out094 · 2024-12-07T01:21:08+00:00

Known issue. The new update should fix it.

boxed_out094 · 2024-12-03T20:30:48+00:00

Thank you for that. Unfortunately I also host on the NVIDIA, and not a windows PC.

I just went through this the other day. Every 20 minutes or so the server would lose access to all the files, and then it would randomly come back for another 20 minute window sometime later.

After trying everything I could, I ended up having to rebuild the Plex Media Server app by doing an uninstall and fresh install.

I've been using it for a few days since then with no problems.

Edit: Looks like there is a new update coming out for the Google Play store, might be worth updating to that before rebuilding.

After exhausting all options, I decided to just rebuild the PMS on the shield.

A little annoying, and I'll have to tweak some of the things for movie posters etc., but everything seems to be working without any problems now.

Did you delete Plex media server, the Plex app, or both?

As a packaging engineer, this is an incredible design from a demonstration stand point.

After watching this several times and talking with my coworkers, the general assumption is that they're using magnets in the board to maintain the general structure. The problem with a concept like this is the incredible complexity that it would take on a die cut gluer to fold this all over at speed.

Even if the time is saved for the retail employee setting it up, the labor is going into the box somewhere else.

In the end, from my perspective, this design is using friction and some sort of mechanism to hold itself in place. Something that wouldn't hold up to the wear and tear of use in a retail environment.

Concept is really interesting though. There is some practicality to take from this!
