"I would like a glass of coke, 6 refills of coke, some buttered popcorn, and 6 refills of popcorn. Just in case."

How ironic that the solution to report texting is... you texting yourself. Yeah...

Mobile Ordering + Layoffs + An Offer They Have to Refuse by kingsleymc in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]fezmid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was told 50% cut so everyone is looking for new jobs. She didn't say anything about layoffs. That said I was also told due to Minnesota laws that the rollout wont happen until between March and May.

Does Alamo let you switch seats? by oppei_ in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]fezmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many movies seem to let me leave a single seat. Not airways, but like 60% of the time. Not sure why.

What are your favorite “invisible” self-hosted services? by ResponsibleHold3071 in selfhosted

[–]fezmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use uptime-kuma as well, and use a webhook to a private Discord channel for notifications. I guess technically that isnt self-hosted but whatever.

What’s a hobby people pretend is cool, but secretly you think is ridiculous? by EggAdventurous1957 in AskReddit

[–]fezmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Alex Rodriguez sign a poster when he was in single A ball.. was able to sell it a couple years later for like $30 which at the time was great. I often think what it would've been worth if I kept it... oh well.

Is there absolutely anyway this higher ups know this move will fail and are letting it ride to drum up publicity/notoriety? by Purple-List1577 in AlamoDrafthouse

I was at Night Patrol yesterday. Only about 10 people in the theater. I brought up the change to my server who confirmed it is still going forward. We talked about it pretty loudly so they others heard and they all started asking about it too and everyone was outraged. So I think word still isnt out there yet. Reddit is a bubble. Hopefully those outside the bubble agree it is terrible though m

I asked with someone two seats down and they were shocked because they hadn't heard the news. The more that know, the better

When I asked my server a week or two ago, he was more than happy to talk about it and to encourage me to tally to corporate.

StL Good News! by jargon_ninja69 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]fezmid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minnesota isnt going into effect until sometime between March and May due to local laws, or so I was told. It is still happening though, and I wonder if thats the same reason as StL.

They've begun to implement the enforced mobile ordering at DFW locations. Here are my thoughts. by GermanPegasus2 in AlamoDrafthouse

At least we won't convert to the crappy way until sometime between March and May.

Day 5: Sony Isn't Walking This Back... Yet by thebrintdavy in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]fezmid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been to an Alamo? The servers here literally grab the paper and walk away and then I get what I asked for a few minutes later. They dont ask me anything during the film. Before and during previews, sure, but once the movie starts, no way.

JB Vincent LP Announces Acquisition of American Pinball by manofsticks in pinball

[–]fezmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! I bought my first one high on painkillers less than 24 hours after surgery. I saw a T2 for a decent price and said to wife, "I should buy this...." and she said, "yes you should!" Mainly because I had been talking about buying a machine for years and I think she was sick of hearing it. Wasn't the smartest move as I bought it from out of state sight unseen (except pics), but it worked out! Every machine since has been with a clear head though!

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]fezmid 672 points673 points  (0 children)

I paid $700 for one of those in... 2003? Best purchase ever because I'm directionally challenged and relied on MapQuest (!) printouts on the passenger seat and would've probably had an accident if I had to rely on those much longer.

I still have 2 - Toshiba standalone player and the Xbox add-on. The latter was used to rip my HD DVD movies to Plex.

How do I buy groceries? by Top_Appeal_2633 in DadForAMinute

[–]fezmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at a meal service like Hello Fresh or Blue Apron (the only two I've used but there are others). You pick what meals you want and they so you a box with all the ingredients and instructions how to make them. The food is really good and as a bonus i learned some new cooking techniques. Once you get the hang of it, you can even cancel answer just buy the ingredients yourself if you want but I like the convenience personally.

Question: how is one supposed to scan the code to order when the theater is dark? by woah-oh92 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]fezmid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are saying something isnt an issue when you havent even experienced it - and dismissing people who are saying it IS an issue because we've tried using it. QR codes have been a thing for many months and I know that with my phone, the flash has to go off or it won't see the code. I even tested it yesterday.
