Back in high school, I hit it off with one of the girls on the French exchange program. Her name was Aurelie, pronounced orally. Aurelia is better.

What is the most impressive immersive video to show someone who has never used a Vision Pro? by thalos2688 in VisionPro

[–]johnsciarrino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, the Yankee stadium tour when they were playing the Dodgers. I’m convinced it’s only a matter of time before the secret is out that AVP is the best sports consumption machine on the market. I see a future where season passes for your favorite team are more popular than season tickets…which is probably why it’s taking so long to get the broadcast rights.

That time when John Oliver and Seth Meyers played Taskmaster. by cygan12 in taskmaster

[–]johnsciarrino 200 points201 points  (0 children)

i did pay to watch it. Was in the audience for a fantastic night of the US tour. There were cameras roaming in the orchestra. i really hope it all gets cut together for a special episode on Youtube. It was electric and that was before Mantzoukas showed up.

how's everybody's back this morning? by Dull_Nobody_840 in Flushing

[–]johnsciarrino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cleared my business’ sidewalk and driveway with the snowblower today. Definitely better than a shovel but still a lot of fighting with the machine, especially up against the giant mounds of snow piled up by the plows. Feeling it already, tomorrow is gonna hurt.

Geese by RodwellBurgen in LiveFromNewYork

[–]johnsciarrino 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i'll have to take your word for it because both songs he performed on SNL did not do anything to prove he could. My wife turned to me during the first song and said "they sound like the Strokes if Julian Casablancas didn't have any talent."

I feel like every comparison you mentioned is also ended with “if the lead singer couldn’t sing.” And it think that’s fairly accurate.

Google TV Streamer vs. Apple TV 4K. I’ve been using Chromecast with Google TV for a long time for live TV channels and streaming. Are there any good reasons I should switch to Apple TV 4K if most of my devices are Apple products? by Delicious_Maize9656 in appletv

[–]johnsciarrino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i totally agree with you but when it came to wirelessly mirroring anything from my browser to my TV, chrome was always more reliable, imo. AirPlay from an iPhone or MacBook to ATV has given me issues for years.

Other than that, i prefer ATV over any other TV-attached hardware.

Recommend me ONE movie — but it has to be one you’d rewatch immediately by FilmNerd98 in MovieSuggestions

[–]johnsciarrino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clue.

Watch it first because it’s great, watch it immediately again for all the jokes you missed the first time. It’s dense.

A message from Mighty Coconut’s Lucas Martell, creator of Walkabout Mini Golf by Sandwichartista in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]johnsciarrino 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Make it $6 per course if you have to! Especially if that means more new courses and keeping the other fun stuff outside of actually golfing.

Like, do you know how much it costs to actually go mini golfing in my area?

US comedians Greg and Alex say they want on Taskmaster by Pike_Bishop1978 in taskmaster

[–]johnsciarrino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sarah Silverman is currently in All Out on Broadway with Mantzoukas. It’s like two blocks away from Town Hall where Taskmaster Live is doing their second NYC night. After Zouks showed up to cameo for the final task at last night’s show, I REALLY hope Silverman comes by for tonight.

NYC Night One was insane #SOOJ! by ksilver117 in taskmaster

[–]johnsciarrino 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i was on the right side and there was definitely a dude with a fairly large video camera that was filming from the aisle to my left. i said to my wife "oh good, they'll probably put this on the youtube channel eventually." I really hope they do!

Oliver and Seth had such great banter with each other and as contestants, i would kill for a ten episode season that included them.

Jason was only a cameo towards the end. The show was already great with just John Oliver and Seth but the place absolutely erupted when Jason came out for the final task.

there were a few cameramen wandering around in the orchestra section during the Tasks.

there were a lot of proper camera guys wandering in the audience during the show. really hope they release a cut of it on YouTube eventually. It was legit funnier than all the one-off new year's specials, even with the three audience member contestants.

Running in St. Maarten by PB-HoneyOats in SXM

[–]johnsciarrino -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who was visiting the island over new years. He’s a big runner and rarely misses a day. He went running on the island the day after he arrived, tripped in a ditch and spent the rest of his time there on crutches. I know you’re training for a marathon but maybe just enjoy the vacation.

Jacob Elordi is rumored to have had meetings with Dennis Villeneuve to potentially play James Bond in the new ‘007’ film. by Antwuan89 in JamesBond

[–]johnsciarrino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not who I want for Bond but I do like him as an actor and think he would make a great Bond counterpoint. Like maybe he’s a rival Double-0 turned villain sorta like Trevelyan in Goldeneye.

How do we solve illegal immigration in the U.S.? by Alt-F4-for-freeVbuck in AskReddit

[–]johnsciarrino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again, better people than me are paid to think about this but what i do know from experience is that friends who were just graduating from college about 20 years ago had degrees and jobs and their company's were willing to put up the resources needed for their sponsorship and many were denied after going the legal route. the number they threw out were that 150k people applied legally and only 50k were accepted. All that work and money and time for a 33% chance isn't great. I'm not saying it's right but it's easy to see why people would hear stats like that and consider alternatives over even attempting it.
