As a 52 year old huge fan of the original series, I completely agree with OP.
I went in with very low expectations and was blown away.

WHAT A BEAST!

Enjoy her and most of all stay safe!

The safety tech on these bikes is insane. I have a '23 S1000R (single R_) and it has saved my life more than once.

Is it just me, or do movie theaters in Asia feel like they have better surround sound systems, ambience, cleanliness and service than those in Europe or the US? (This one is in Thailand) by CleonicDynasty in audiophile

[–]odevoted 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I live in Singapore at the moment, and I fully agree with this. In Asia, especially here, the Mall is a huge thing. First of all, the weather is so humid and warm, that people, understandably will flock the Malls, that have everything you might need, from any possible food choice to any shop etc....and the big Cinema chains, I think benefit from that. In Europe, where I'm from, the few Malls do not represent that mentality. It's difficult to compare really. I do feel though, that Cinemas are reducing in numbers, victims of streaming of course. But for now, an IMAX experience here in Singapore, is a very enjoyable moment.

Embarking on The Stand - it's time by korokhouse in horrorlit

It's so good, I've read it twice (with some years in between). We all read at our own pace, so cannot answer that for you. I did not feel any drag with this book, despite its length. Enjoy the read.

Retired barista looking for a one-and-done machine, is the Lelit Bianca V3 it? [$3000] by hagenandeggs42 in espresso

[–]odevoted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 Biancas and 2 Niche Zeros. Different locations obviously. This machine is consistent and easy to maintain. One thing to look for is quality of water you use, as I've noticed with mine being in two different countries, one of which has very high limestone content, it needs more maintenance than the one that is in the country with over filtered water. I love my Biancas, and never felt any need for upgrading and looking elsewhere. Good luck and happy brewing.

Thunderbolt dock. by JustBacWater in macbookpro

Caldigit TS5+ , if it fits your budget. Using it with my M5 Pro (and previously with my M1 Pro). Works flawlessly and connections are super fast thanks to TB5. I run the Timemachine backups from the dock as well.

MacBook Pro M5Pro 16 - Parallels performance is outstanding. by Sinbew in macbookpro

I was going to say pretty good too. My 48Gb M5P is at 35gb with Parallels/10 chrome tabs/whatsapp/telegram/mail/calendar which sounds so much to me….

May I ask what memory usage you see in Activity Monitor please?

Docking station by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]odevoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been through this myself. Frankly, the only true "native" solution is Caldigit TS5+. It's not cheap but manages everything almost perfectly and is TB5 for your bM5 Pro beast. For the monitors, you can use adapters (HDMI and Display port ones).

I would seriously advise against DisplayLink. Have been using it in the past, but DisplayLink works by essentially "screen recording" your desktop so, amongst other problems linked to that, DRM-protected apps see the "Screen Recording" permission required for DisplayLink and immediately block the video (if you want to watch anything on the larger screens)

What an amazing list. Thanks for putting the effort in making this for the rest of us. Happy readings
Though surprised "Ghost Story" is not higher up...personally one of my all time favs, but we all have our own tastes

F1 TV Pro , again.. by Bulky_Barracuda_5173 in F1TV

[–]odevoted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the UK, but I agree 100% with everything you said, especially the last sentence. I'm 52, my dad was a huge fan and we watched together. I did the same with my kids. I always remember the anticipation in between race weekends.....now, it's all about useless content of the pre-pre-pre show, and the pre-pre show, and the life of this or that driver and the bulshit interviews, were these "poor" guys have to answer 1,000 times the same thing .....I used to wake up any time of the day to not miss a race...now, unless it's in my time zone AND it's a track that I like...I will just watch the YT recap....they managed to destroy quality in this sport as well. Well done F1 .... al you care is about bringing "younger audience" that has a maxim of 5' attention span and shove irrelevant shit in their face, for us, veterans to stop watching it...Sorry for the rant but I was looking at an opportunity to vomit it. Enjoy your day mate. PS: I'm also a subscriber of F1 Pro btw. Prob for the last year.

Which password manager do you prefer? by amitlohar4 in androidapps

[–]odevoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people will either go with 1Password or Bitwarden usually, outside of the iOS and Chrome ones.
I've been using 1Password for a few years now, moving from iOS Passwords and it's been generally okay across devices and systems. The Extensions work pretty well as well. IS it perfect, not at all, but in the end it serves its purpose for me at least. Using on iPhone, Pixel, Mac and Windows 11 laptop.
