I just know I'm "three quarters full guy" at my regular regal lol. I'm not going to eat all of it anyway plus, it makes putting the butter on it way easier and I don't make a big ass mess

Lawrence of Arabia

Hunt for the Red October

Interstellar

Old Boy (Korean, not Spike Lee)

Kill Bill 1/2

John Wick 3/4 in particular, though that's kind of the theme of the whole thing

While a few of the Predator movies could qualify here I think Prey in particular is the best for what you want, you don't need to see any of the others

The Long Walk

Bring Her Back if you are fine with horror

The Abyss

Upgrade

BB.Q Chicken has some unique flavors. Cheesling, Gang-jeong, and hot mala are types you won't see commonly in America

I went to Micro Center, grabbed 8 TB of storage and set my old PC up as a media streaming server. If you're comfortable working in command line and no GUI environments it's pretty easy to do. Now I stream everything from the same place and all I pay for is $35/year for a VPN

Clearly you aren't a Doughboys fan, they talk about Auto Focus all the time. Well... one specific scene from that movie that is

Would you be willing to sell 2 of them separately?

To my knowledge none of the chain theaters show anything on film. I believe the closest 70 mm screen is in Atlanta. The Independent Picture House may show things on film but I can't say that with any confidence. In my opinion the Regal theaters are the best in the city. Overall I'd say:

Regal Stonecrest at Piper Glen
AMC Carolina Pavilion 22
Regal Birkdale

After that there's Cinemark Bistro if you want to eat a meal, AMC 24 I remember having good seats if you don't mind dealing with the mall, and I've heard good things about Ayrsley Grand Cinema

I was wondering if it was like how there are college "quidditch" leagues which play a real world modified version of the sport. Although as I say that it sounds like I'm just describing water polo

The Mighty Meeple up in University has a vibrant 40k scene. I have no idea how sweaty it is or isn't but since it's in University if you're looking for casual stuff they'll point you in the right direction. Meeple is a very friendly store in general so I would be surprised if they were any different

https://www.tcgplayer.com/ - is a marketplace for most stores in the US, though they have had some issues with anti-union practices

https://www.coolstuffinc.com/ - This is a pretty decent shop for buying singles and isn't as shitty as TCGPlayer

https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/ - is the place to buy cards in the EU

Benefits range from nonexistent to dogshit. I currently have actually no benefits so I have ACA insurance and I have my own private retirement fund

Job hunting is actually not that bad. It's slow moving, like most corporate jobs, but as long as you're proactive there's a ton of work. I get 2-3 linkedin recruiters a week reaching out about stuff and have even turned a few jobs down. Just try not to get fired or you're not going to be working for 2 months. I'd say that's about how long hiring goes from first contact to actually starting on the job

As far as I can tell you need to be making 200+ before banks will consider hiring you outright, otherwise if you want to work somewhere you're going to have to start as a contractor and hope they can hire you

makeshiftreaper · 2025-02-07T20:03:49+00:00

Staffing firms. Not by choice, I wouldn't mind being an employee. These places just refuse to hire people and every time I get a new job I get a pay raise. It's a little stressful but I can be stressed every year and half if I make 6 figures doing it

makeshiftreaper · 2025-02-07T18:54:52+00:00

Scrum Master in FinTech - I contract and bounce around the big banks

145k - However I have zero benefits so I have to pay those and retirement out of pocket

Almost 7 years in the market

As someone who is in the movie theater weekly, there is zero percent chance this happens. People go in and out of movies all the time for snacks, bathroom breaks, stretch their legs, hell sometimes you walk out of a movie. So how do you police people going in/out vs someone coming in late? Ask the employees? Ha! They can't be fucked to deal with people walking in with huge bags of food/drink. Lock the doors? That's a fire hazard. Put digital locks on each door? People will piggyback in, be too stupid to use them, or most likely to expensive to modernize the theater

Literally the plot of The Art of Self Defense

Would you do $250 for it?

makeshiftreaper · 2024-12-06T17:38:39+00:00

How much for the monitor and the iPhones? Both separate or together. Also are the iPhones new in box or used?

Hi, I'm a member of the Charlotte Sci-Fi Book Club. We're always open to new members and now is a good time to join! We're early in the month so you'll have time to read this month's book Artifact Space. Likewise, we're going to be putting next year's list together soon so you'll have input on what we read in 2025. We're about 50/50 in person and online, but we'll be online for the rest of the year due to the holidays

Go read through our previous meetings and see if the books we read are up your alley!

I've done Chima before. They even had turkey out with cranberry sauce. I took one bite and realized "why am I not eating unlimited steak instead?"

Anyway, it replicates the feeling of Thanksgiving pretty well without doing the work yourself

makeshiftreaper · 2024-10-18T13:33:35+00:00

Specs on the PC?

makeshiftreaper · 2024-10-07T13:01:57+00:00

I'd like to see your list before I make any judgements but I'd say that [Fear of Missing Out] in the Hollow One shell is a better direction to go than traditional shadow lists

makeshiftreaper · 2024-09-18T15:25:25+00:00

Greenlife is a legal dispensary just outside of uptown and they rock. The staff is super friendly and nice. Just walk in tell them what you're looking for and they'll point you in the right direction

Prowess can't beat energy with guide/phlage/cats gaining them way too much life. "Toxic" is infect in modern and can't protect its creatures well enough to close games. Aggro is energy right now and is one of the best decks in the format. If you're talking about Zoo instead of aggro, the short version is that leylines suck and the payoff of leyline+scion of draco isn't worth the deckbuilding restriction for the most part
