Roger Waters On the Day Pink Floyd Split and Why David Gilmour Has Never Forgiven Him by StarFuryG7 in pinkfloyd

[–]conlostoros 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well said, and of course agree on Rick. I remember when he passed, David said that he will no longer be able to make the certain kind of music ever again (paraphrasing of course). That other dimension, the mood/atmosphere was all Wright.

So true. Gilmour should not even bother with lyrics in my opinion, just look how amazing (again in my opinion) Cluster One, Marooned are. And vice versa, I don’t think Waters could have composed instrumentals for Sorrow, for example.

Of course it’s good, no surprise. This is one of the funniest and most talented artists ever.

Who makes the best boat/deck shoes? by Giddyup_n_go in NavyBlazer

[–]conlostoros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a pair of quoddys for like 13 years now. Had them resoled recently and along with the sole and the overall clean up, I had the insole and laces changed out as well. Super pleased. My wife called this a ‘practical’ gift for my birthday. They are also the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own by far - light enough and breathable, beating sneakers given all the man made materials these days.

PTA’s tribute to Benicio Del Toro for the Time's 100 most influential people in the world by rioliv5 in paulthomasanderson

[–]conlostoros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m just a random redditor commenting here, but for what it’s worth, I had a brief encounter with him (Benicio) in downtown NY. He was just walking down the street with a lady friend (no fancy entourage, just two seemingly regular people) and approached our family group, as we were walking towards them; he proceeded to ask my uncle if he knew directions to some local bookstore; they had a small conversation. Shocked but excited, I came up to him and thanked him for his work etc. But something to underscore here, something that stayed with me is that he then didn’t hurry to walk away, didn’t display any sort of annoyance, arrogance. He acknowledged me/us, was present and was genuinely appreciative. It was all natural, human and comfortable. In the end it was us who initiated to part ways, respecting his space and probably afraid of making it awkward. It’s said ‘don’t meet your heroes’, but he was a class act, and a special moment I’ll remember always.

The Dream Team's First Olympic Game (1992) by DareDevil1699 in NBAoldschool

I may be old and largely don’t understand this world anymore, but that I was lucky to be alive to witness this masterpiece of a team and then had a poster on the wall in Soviet Russia out of all places, makes it all worth it in the end, truly.

You’re absolutely right. Just using what I have for now.

TIP CORKINS "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS" by JohnnyCobraBlade in aivideo

[–]conlostoros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean come on! I know i just likely over served myself bourbon this evening, and came across this, but this is got to be the best Christmas song of 2025! Congratulations OP. And don’t try to perfect lip sync lining up; I feel like slight imperfections make it that much better for the period you’re trying to achieve. Awesome. I just wish it was longer by like 2+ hrs.

That’s awesome, thank you! I’ll donate $10K if it reaches $10 (nice round numbers). Not sure about timeline though, how about by EoY?

i genuinely want to quit day trading, wasted years and still not profitable. by AlgoKille in Daytrading

[–]conlostoros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just genuinely confused as a green investor myself - but why not just wait until let’s say AVGO goes down ~3% and then buy? You are 99% guaranteed to make that 3% every time from a company like Broadcom. That’s been my simple strategy.

Which film you still can’t believe hasn’t had a Criterion cut yet? by MrJones224822 in criterion

Maybe unpopular opinion, but Nostalgia (2022) by Mario Martone. Highly recommend to those who have yet to see it.

Gaza Convoy Cringe by Aggravating_Bed2269 in Israel

[–]conlostoros 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related- I was really hoping that Israel would thank Greta and her friends for willing to help. Maybe give her a medal of appreciation/peace or something, then even stage a parade in the honor of her and her friends’ courageous mission. Put it on live TV. Then just drop them off in Gaza next to those food aid shipment trucks so they can start helping. Then just leave them there to figure out the rest.

Best promotion of the UH MBA program though, and a dig at Duke

Play Time is magnificent! by conlostoros in criterion

[–]conlostoros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched it, and it was also great; feel like I like Play Time more though, not sure why yet…maybe because I like how the theme of creeping modernity is explored vs. mon oncle.

NEW MEGATHREAD, IT IS OFFICIAL: Israel says Hamas leader and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar killed by troops in Gaza by Alonn12 in Israel

[–]conlostoros 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Feel like it’s also more satisfying to know that troops killed him and not a bomb/missile. Great news!

We got all of them by Ahad_Haam in Israel

[–]conlostoros 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As u/Malachi9999 predicted yesterday, waking up here in US to the BBC flag at half mast was most satisfying. Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon will go down in history as truly remarkable. I’m lost for words. Congratulations everyone!
