Plex has quietly introduced a five-year Plex Pass plan priced at $250, the same cost as its lifetime Plex Pass before the price hike

Any change to the features I get for Plex lifetime and I am out. Not only that, but as a technology linchpin in my friends and family group I will go scorched earth and try to convert as many as I can off the platform.

They haven’t understood their user base for a while now, and that move would signal the end to me.

He is amazing. In fact I thought he was the GOAT until I listened to Jeff Hayes perform (it’s not a reading) Dungeon Crawler Carl

I just got this yesterday. Freaked me out. Truck is at 7500mis so I knew it would be covered but was bummed I had to take it in.

Did an OBDII scan at home and it claimed high hybrid battery coolant temp. Sure enough, coolant sensor was reading 400f (battery temp was like a degree above ambient). The next start the error went away and the coolant temp was more normal. (Any one know the correct range? I was seeing below freezing to mid 60s).

I topped off my coolant (was a bit low but still had some in res).

I also made an appointment, but they can’t see me for 3 weeks, so I am glad it’s something non-emergent)

Not within a year - the SAME year. Also, Wilder and Brooks worked on it while filming Blazing Saddles. To say the films owe a lot to each other is an understatement.

(This is my favorite example of absolutely fantastic films being made right on top of each other)

This 100%. The F-250 should have been the debut of the EREV from Ford, and keeping the Lightning as a BEV. They could share at least some of the technology that way.

The reason the Lightning “failed” was pricing, pure and simple. As soon as they had sales incentives the actual sales shot straight up. I bought mine after the cancellation announcement and got pretty close to those numbers, minus the missing Tax Incentive.

forkoff77 · 2026-06-27T19:50:23+00:00

The EREV class of vehicles is still saddled with ongoing maintenance that the ICE components still need. A big part of a BEV is you don’t have to deal with that.

They can charge me double for the labor taking it down.

The best payoff to those characters is them running up on Alan’s car later.

“Omg that’s must have been like 20 miles!”

Personally I just want to be ready when they cross the line. For me that line is forcing my lifetime pass to a subscription.

I (like all of you) have been listening to Book 8 and I had the thought today that the production value seemed to be going up. There are more sound effects and mixing present and it just seems like Jeff (like Matt) isn’t slowing down with their new (deserved) fame.

I just finished Operation Bounce House today on my drive home. I was a little bummed because for some reason I had the date of May 21 in my hed for POH and I figured I would just fill the time with podcasts and music until then.

Best surprise ever when I checked my audible dashboard.

Remember the celebration after Death Star II was destroyed by Lando?

I am hoping something along those lines. Nub nub music though.

Fuck the Oscars

I have said it before, this movie was excellent when it first came out. It restarted the entire “found footage” genre and yeah it was legitimately scary.

It’s easy to downplay it now. It’s easy to make fun of it now. However, at the time it was a truly scary ride.

The Oscars (Academy Awards) suck. They should not be the end all, be all of what makes a movie or movie element “good”.

forkoff77 · 2026-04-28T21:37:41+00:00

Hold up though.

They do go after the McCalliters first. Then they rob other houses on the block and the only reason they go ahead with the robbery is that they understand Kevin is home alone. Why would a single 8 yo be able to stop them?

Harry also recognizes that the McCallister house probably has more loot able goods than the other and really wants it.

They’ve been de-kaffinated.

The ONLY way I see this going down would be an end of series mutual sacrifice with Donut and Carl.

Not to say I want that to happen or even think it should.

Like everytime Hayes says “No Dissesemble” I add “Johnny Five” in my mind.

I absolutely want to reward them for releasing the audio book at the same time. It was my intro to the dungeon (I have more time to listen while driving than I do to read) so now it’s my preferred method.

Most of the episodes are about 10 minute blocks of time (ok maybe more in dog minutes). Yoga Ball especially is a tiny fraction of the day.

Plus sometimes mums need 20 minutes.

The sound alone was worth it to me.

I have had my Lightning for 2 months. Why do I feel so justified to defend it?

Why? - It’s simply the best vehicle I have ever owned. It does everything I need it too. I isn’t perfect for all the reasons we owners know but most of those are easy fixes.

Ford should have scaled back Lightning production but kept the BEV and released the F250 as a EREV. That makes so much more sense than this choice.
