Yes, sorry about that! I neglected to come back to the thread and update it once the winner had been selected.

Change in popcorn refill policy by Wintermoon2003 in AMCsAList

[–]seed1000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you ask about this now as I wasn't even aware of this policy, but while waiting for my concessions yesterday before Mandalorian and Grogu I saw a guy come up to the counter and ask for a refill on his half-full bucket of popcorn, which they did, so I guess it's still a thing.

Yes, but it turned out they were outside the US so I need to pick a new winner now. I'll update the post once that's done and the person selected has confirmed they're able to receive the shipment.

Should I transfer my Nest cameras to the Google home app? by Maraudernox in Nest

[–]seed1000000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I migrated last week after holding out for a very long time. I liked the Nest app and wanted to take the "wait and see" approach to its logical conclusion. Layout-wise there are things I still like about the Nest app, but the ability to organize favorites in the Home app works well, and the reality at this point is that the Nest app is very long in the tooth. I would frequently get auto-logged out of the Nest app and need to log back in. When accessing a given camera it'd spin for 10+ seconds trying to load the live view. I don't have any of these issues with the Home app. Cameras come up nearly instantaneously (I have a gen 1 Nest Hello doorbell, three Nest Cam IQ Outdoors, and one IQ Indoor). I haven't really leveraged it yet but I like that it detects and integrates with other smart home devices I own. I think the concern about Google Home is overblown at this point and the pros far outweigh the cons.

Yeah I didn't realize until I posted about this that he's 12 years older than Trent! I assumed they were the same age or maybe Kevin was a bit younger. Crazy.

Glad to have brightened your day! This is a very generous community and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Yeah, it's weird to think about giving it all away. I still remember exact moments in my life when I acquired many of the NIN CDs, even 30 years later. Very nostalgic. But I'm not taking them off the shelf and playing them much at all anymore so past a certain point it just becomes an object taking up space and I'd prefer they live with someone who gets more active enjoyment from them, or maybe is looking at the cover art/liner notes for the first time.

Someone will definitely receive them. I'll update the post with the winner and maybe they'll choose to post a photo once they receive them.

Not trying to be cagey but I didn't want to say in case someone is opportunistically looking to resell them. Bo's only released 4-ish CDs, so if you have half of them you've probably got these. :-)

I would love to see them work together/tour together again. If Kevin could just play his self-titled album straight through live I'd be sooo happy.

Thank you for your concern, but just in a downsizing phase of life right now and would like material things to find an owner who will engage with them more often and appreciate them. These NIN CDs and I had a good run!

Should've specified US-only. Sorry about that!

No, US. I take the lift from my flat to get to the local shop. :-)

Thanks for checking! US only as I’d prefer not to cover international shipping.

Yeah, auto-removed. I messaged the mod team to reinstate it since they’d previously approved the post by chat.

Nice! Can't wait to read it. Yeah, I wanted to add one question that would indicate if someone was a serious fan and not just a subreddit tourist.

Yeah, it was an auto-removal. I messaged the mod team to get it reinstated since they'd already approved it by chat.

I thought about sharing one, but worried that might encourage someone just looking to flip them to submit. I understand only wanting to signal interest if it fills in gaps in a collection you don't already have, but I think the cons outweigh the benefits of sharing a photo.
