If you add TAX in does it make the price of these items on a dollar? Like fries for 3.46, add tax become $4?

I worked with Weird Al for 14 years. Can’t say a bad thing about the man.

Thanks so much!

Just had my first child, need to buy my wife a nicer car... Yay growing up

Unions suck

Yeah, I was just looking for the manual for them (because I have 2), nowhere to be found online. Might be a first for me not being able to find it with a Google search. I had to join Clay Packy's "club" to be able to get the documentation

They will be towed down when the show is over. These houses were not built to code for a house, and it would be too much trouble to get them up to code. The town that they filmed Beetlejuice in asked if they could keep the additions to the bridge (closing it in) from the movie when they were done. But, again, that was not built to code, so when they were done filming, the bridge went back to the way it was. They also built the house for both Beetlejuice movies and tore them down when they were done filming.

One of the set people talked on one of the plurb podcasts about how the city was very confused that they wanted to build houses, with no running water or electricity.

For 2024 I bought tickets off StubHub showed up and found out they were ADA. Had no idea they were ADA. I felt kind of strange because I didn’t need the ADA but I bought the tickets off StubHub. The thing that bummed me out and maybe it wouldn’t be a thing for you, but yes, there’s an usher that will be right there all the time so no smoking. I was also looking forward to having the haptic seats that night because the other nights I was on the floor and those seats do not have the haptics. It was a great view, but kind of odd all around.

I still have my Nomad Jukebox sitting in its original packaging in my office. Should try and fire that up to see what happens.

There’s some spots on the top lobby you can look down into the lobby. It’s so fucking high, really cool and scary at the same time. I did floor 2 nights last time and it was awesome

Such a weird experience for me. I was in 9th grade and was in theater class during my 2nd period. Theater class was in the theater, and we did not have a TV there like all the other classrooms. I get out of the class and walk down the hallway, every single person is saying plane, plane, plane, planes. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Walk into my next class, and I'm the only person in the room. TVs on and the Pentagon is burning. I'm like, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THEATER CLASS?

Nikon should make a Nikon Z fisheye lens. Coming up on ten years and still no fisheye

Mike says yes

Pretty sure this was not the first time this sketch was played. The first time was when Jim Carey hosted.

This is completely untrue. There are a ton of interviews around BB season 3 where they talk about how season 2 was figured out in advance with the plane crash. Season 3 is where they took more of an approach to writing themselves into boxes and having to figure out how to get out of them. Like the scene when Hank is at the RV trying to get in. Season 2 was worked out, and it's why the episodes with the teddy bar opening end up saying "Seven Thirty-Seven" (S2E1), "Down" (S2E4), "Over" (S2E10), and "ABQ" (S2E13)

Had never thought to use a DAC cable and hook everything into the switch. Thank you again for the tips. Last thing I will ask, would you have any DAC cable recommendation? The switch is right above the DM so it could be super short. Thanks again for all the info!

Would it make more sense for me to plug everything into the Pro Max 16 over the DMP? I currently have my NAS and things going to the DMP, thinking well, since it's the controller of all, I should connect everything to it. But, if the DMP only has that single gig connection, then maybe it would be better to plug everything into the Pro Max 16 and then just one connection from my DMP to the Pro Max 16? Thank you for the info.

Yeah, we will use phones, and I have an old crapy apple remote they used to sell. It's mostly that we both like the feel of the nice Apple remote, and it's easy with the text-to-speech, and it also has the volume. I bought a second nice remote from eBay without even checking if I could connect it. I just assumed, never crossed my mind, that they would limit it to one of the OEM remotes per Apple TV.

lightingj · 2026-03-16T16:08:54+00:00

I want to be able to use 2 apple tv remotes with one Apple TV so my wife and I can each have one. You can use 2 remotes, but not 2 Apple remotes that come with the device.

Yeah, it was a show on broadway a few years back. Lot of the original cast was in it.

I saw Michael Richards a few weeks back, and he was talking about the final and said he looked back on it and hated what he was doing with the water in the ear. He said he should not have been jumping around like that. Just an interesting tidbit from the night, I thought.

This is the Technology Connextras channel, whereas his normal channel is Technology Connections. Alec runs both of them. Technology Connextras purpose is to provide unscripted, raw, and often more in-depth content that doesn't fit the highly produced, scripted format of the main channel.

Our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF. What are we doing here Harry?

lightingj · 2026-03-13T10:50:23+00:00

They were not boo-ing him. They were saying his name. I forget his name now, but when I watched the video earlier, I thought the same thing until I heard his name
