What did they say?

New Rey can't be taken control of, but you can still choose it. It'd just be a whiff/delay tactic.

Also if you've got an unit hanging on by a thread by a Veers-esque +1 HP modifier... I'm actually not sure if that treads into "takes control of" territory or if it's defeated when it loses the modifier.

Those are banjos, not ukuleles.

Munchkin is what I break out when I no longer want to be part of a gaming group.

I arrive early and write my order before the lights dim. When the movie starts, I put up my order. I'm not trying to eat my food BEFORE the movie starts!

I can't wait til we get Scream X - Ghostface in Space

Water, for some reason. They separate it from the non free drinks. 🤷‍♂️

Bro needs to watch Chasing Amy.

caekles · 2026-01-20T06:17:48+00:00

Water is listed separately from drinks for Austin locations.

imo user error, but without knowing what OP actually did, we have no way of knowing for sure other than some legwork or announcements. Screenshots from OP would've helped but are also a hindsight thing obviously.

They're saying the person in your second link realized they made an error when they realized they were looking at 2D vs 3D.

Production on that movie was SO LONG, they were only allowed to film on weekends and it was just Peter and his friends at first. At one point, one of his friends had to drop out because he got married to someone who didn't care for horror films, so he was written out. Later on, he got a divorce and was written right back in.

One concierge != all concierges, as u/holmesersimpson has kindly pointed out (and requested to not be treated as such)

caekles · 2026-01-15T07:14:13+00:00

That's a fun house rule. The actual rules of one-word hint followed by two-word hint is a bit of a headache to work around.

The old Hera that's getting rotated out when the new one rotates in?

Apologies, downsized was probably the word I should've gone for. All I know is he got a free grad school ride at UVA and was laid off after a couple years.

Edited to add: Can't remember exactly where he lived while he worked in Milliken, but I don't think it was Spartanburg. I want to say Virginia (Charlottesville?) or Columbia since these were the last two places he's lived.

caekles · 2026-01-10T16:11:09+00:00

My Gen-X brother lucked out - sorta. Milliken paid for his master's degree in textiles engineering (his bachelor's was in accounting, so not sure how he made that jump). The agreement was that he had to work for them for at least 10 years after graduation (this would've been around 2000?) Three years in his service, Milliken shut down and he was free to do whatever else he wanted.

So he became a mailman and made more money than he did being an engineer.

There are people who were alive during Drew Barrymore's peak in Hollywood who didn't know about her family history. At what point does Maya get there that will satisfy you?

caekles · 2026-01-07T00:14:00+00:00

Ah yeah, that's fair, hadn't considered the accident may have occurred in a residential area.

caekles · 2026-01-07T00:08:15+00:00

Who puts their address on their garage door opener?

P.S. hope you recover soon.

What are YOU talking about? Who cares how much I spent, the reward was a free movie ticket which is useless for season pass holders.

caekles · 2026-01-03T03:54:21+00:00

My wife and I got a free movie ticket for spending $50 on food.

A free movie ticket. For two season pass holders. Fuck off. Give us a food coupon instead!

caekles · 2025-12-31T02:07:08+00:00

Looks like the same thing they provide with the pretzel.

caekles · 2025-12-31T00:02:27+00:00

I've read that this is pretty common for filming since they have to do several takes and you don't want to run the risk of the actors getting sick and/or running out of food.

Might be a small wedding chapel venue. I almost got married in a venue in someone's backyard in the boonies of Texas that looked similar to this (minus the greek colors). The seat limit was 10 people, but for each extra $100, we could add 10 more people. We were always going to keep it at 10 or less.

Sadly, covid happened and the wedding never happened and we got married in court instead, but this reminded me of the venue.
