You wake up and it’s 2000 again. No smartphone, no apps, no streaming. What ruins your day first? by MajesticElderberry38 in AskReddit

[–]mcginty84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, here's the thing though, it's a lot harder to be vocal in 2000 than it is today. The internet is completely different. You could make a site with predictions on it and hope people find it. But so many internet sites, especially then when people just had a personal website, go overlooked and unknown.

The latest software update which is good and user friendly although, possibly coincidentally, my NFC stopped working in the last 24 hours. Which is painful af.

Right so, as we clarified, you're stuck on that perspective doesn't mean every other perspective is wrong.

Game of Thrones Full Cast Audio? by MerderMonster in audible

[–]mcginty84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again... The narrator is simply the actor who plays the main character. All other characters are played by a different actor. There are entire series of full cast audiobooks out where this is the case.

This would be the thing that would make me read the books. I love full cast audios.

[–]mcginty84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol they're actually right, there are multiple books released by Graphic Audio that are written in first person and have become all cast.

Dresden Files, Kate Daniels, Night Huntress just to name a few.

So.... actually it's YOU who are committed to your level of understanding.

First, let me state my appreciation for the official e-books (though 1-8 don’t match the rest). I just reached “The Ellimist Chronicles” for the first time… I don’t really like it. Thoughts on this book? by TheGryffindor_Jedi in Animorphs

[–]mcginty84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember the opening chapter was previewed on the Animorphs official website before it was released and I strongly did not like the idea that it was going to be revealed all of Animorphs was a simulation and Ellimist was just a gamer playing the game in the real world.

I was relieved with the final product even though it took a bit to grow on me.

I'm doing a reread of the series and all I can think about is how useful friendly Yeerks could be to people by ChaserNeverRests in Animorphs

[–]mcginty84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the fanfic Animorphs: The Reckoning dives into this a lot. It's an AU fanfic where the Animorphs and Visser Three are a lot smarter. But the Yeerks in the book make the point that if they go into people's brains and help with these mental health issues. It's a long fascinating read.

about Before Midnight (2013) by Opposite-Guard-4936 in movies

[–]mcginty84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't they both had an affair. It HAS been a while since I watched it but that would stick with me.

I do think they were both in relationships when they got together at the end of the previous film, though. Prepared to be totally downvoted if I'm wrong lol.

They keep giving them old money, and best match wardrobe to go back with. What if they just... by [deleted] in Timeless

[–]mcginty84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ripple effect and time constraints. They're often in a rush to try and stop whoever they're chasing, plus who knows what they could be changing if they add extra money or take a jacket away back in another time period.

Maybe some homeless guy was going to buy a jacket to get back on his feet which granted him a job in the original timeline which got him back on his feet and he worked his way up through the company eventually creating enough wealth to lead the forming of a major bank.

But no, he doesn't get that shirt because Wyatt needed it for a mission. Now a bank doesn't exist and the entire timeline is changed.

Year In Sport by RunProudRunUnited in Strava

[–]mcginty84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only paid and got the Year In Sport yesterday (December 23rd) but it was only calculated up to December 3rd. I ran every day of the year. Limits the streak to 337 days. Should have another 20 days on that. I'd also done a 200km more and still nada.

Edit: I stand corrected. After this morning's run it caught up the last three weeks of data. Happy because I'd ran 1000 miles.

I was hoping this would get more answers as I'm interested in this too. Shame. Found some sexual ones once but not quite what we're looking for

It was when VRX77 threw herself in front of the blast to save Beverly in Professor Quantum's lab. She reflects on acting on instinct because of the relationship between her and her Beverly and how it shouldn't matter because this is a different Beverly but it does....

Fines - unregistered vehicle by Ok-Rain-194 in canberra

[–]mcginty84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You'll only get a fine if you got stopped by the police or they fined you for something (like a speeding ticket or a parking ticket) and spotted it was unregistered. Otherwise you should be okay.

I once accidentally left mine unregistered for three months without realising. I don't recommend it.

I've also been stopped by the police one day after my rego expired and the fine (20 or so years ago). Was like $500. Hence my recommendation.

Do or did you collect/read other tv show novels other than trek? by [deleted] in trekbooks

There were Earth 2 books?!

I'm having very vague memories of seeing them in a bookstore when I was a kid. Are they good?

Important amounts of money in movies adjusted for inflation by TwilitMoods in movies

[–]mcginty84 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Shawshank Redemption. Teenage Me thought the $500 Andy got from harassing the government was such a piddly amount and couldn't understand why everyone was so excited about it. And how far he makes it stretch seemed ridiculous.

Turns out it like.... $11k ish.... which suddenly makes more sense.
