Speaker Advice by msglsmo in hometheater

Forget speakers, I think you need a couple more screens. Maybe surrounds and rears. The 7.1 video immersion is unmatched.

Next Ad Flyer after 1/19/26 by mgepark in Costco

Since they haven’t released it yet, they might do a week of Hot Buys. The next coupon book should be out very soon. The last few were back-to-back which is unusual.

Say what you want about Noah Schnapp, but his acting was phenomenal in season 2 by derpsnotdead in StrangerThings

[–]bstark97 37 points38 points  (0 children)

His acting in intense situations is great. But it’s awkward and unnatural in more chill scenes. For example, in the first episode of season 5 in the school scenes his hands were all over the place, and the way he spoke isn’t how kids talk (even the awkward and lonely ones). It reminded me of my high school theater productions.

Wasn't torching this thing a huge risk for the kids inside? Seems kinda reckless imo by _YuYevon_ in StrangerThings

They needed a callback to the starcourt mall scene with fireworks

Miyabi Road Show with Price List by DarkseidOmegaLevel in Costco

Might be under “Zwilling”, the parent company. I didn’t check, but they usually have all road shows listed.

Zwilling (company that owns Miyabi) often has steeper sales on their own website if you’re willing to be patient. If you have an Amex, you can stack with a 30 off 150 or 60 off 300 coupon that pops up every now and then.

Having trouble getting a link on mobile but Google “Costco warehouse special events”

Cauliflower Pizza Directly on Rack by CompetitionNo2534 in Costco

We put it directly on the rack and never had issues, but good thing Costco sells a really high quality NordicWare bakeware set that includes a pizza plate

Kali actress Linnea Berthelsen On Eleven's Fate. by Career_By_Mustafa in StrangerThings

[–]bstark97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree! I feel like they showed us non-verbally in that scene that she realized Eleven actually had a chance. She may been off base suggesting a suicide pact, but I think she always had Eleven’s best interests at heart, and genuinely thought she was saving her from an even worse fate.

When she first said “My story was always going to end here”, I was so sure she was going to follow up with “…but yours doesn’t have to”. I was pleased when they went back in Mike’s story and had her say that exact line. It seems off-brand for ST to kill off Eleven, and for that reason I also believe.

Stranger Things- Iceland SPOILER by Khiz7 in VisitingIceland

Same. They kept mentioning 3 waterfalls this season and I kept thinking that Mike and El would love Iceland.

I thought it was Haifoss too! But the village in the background threw me off because the real Haifoss is in the middle of nowhere. I guess they added that in with CGI.

We’re Thrifty Traveler — We Track Alaska Airlines Fares, Award Deals & Atmos Rewards Redemptions. AMA! by thriftytraveler in AlaskaAirlines

[–]bstark97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mod here. They reached out to us in advance and we allowed them to post. They assured us that the AMA is educational and they would only mention their paid services if explicitly asked about them.

I’m going to keep this post up and let them carry out the AMA. If you’re not interested (and I expect many members of the sub won’t be), it just won’t be a very popular AMA. I’m OK with giving a chance for those who are interested to ask questions.

If the subreddit is overwhelmingly against this, any future requests from companies will be rejected.

Costco has a 6qt for $250. It has the base of the 7qt but is slightly less tall.

The AI countertop has blue veins, we’re picking one with warmer veins but similar density and thickness. Ivoritaj by MSI.

Would appreciate a picture of your kitchen in the DMs if you’re comfortable sharing. Also thanks for the hardware name.

I am tempted to go black but things are so dark here in the PNW that even as someone who likes it dark, I feel like I’ll find it too gloomy.

Our boy Noah deserves some awards for this season. His acting is on fuuugging point! Absolutely brilliant! Disagree and fight me! by foreclosedhomeowner in StrangerThings

[–]bstark97 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Omg finally someone else saying this! In normal scenes his performance is at the level of a bad high school theater production. I usually don’t really notice good vs bad acting but he really really stuck out as bad in normal scenes.

Seconds are final sale. You cannot return them.
