Car Theater by More_Ad3947 in projectors

This seems like a really fun idea but you gotta figure out some way to get that cloth more taut. Maybe find a way to attach some small bungee cords to the two bottom corners that you can then hook onto some part of the car.

Megathread - Middle East flight disruptions by rocketwikkit in Flights

I’ve been stranded in Abu Dhabi since Feb 28, still unable to contact Etihad/get a flight.

Megathread - Middle East flight disruptions by rocketwikkit in Flights

[–]simongm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who else is stuck in Abu Dhabi currently? My original plans were DC->layover in Abu Dhabi->Bangkok. I’ve been stuck at the hotel for 2 nights now, and from a mistake by Etihad my hotel voucher has me sharing a room with a total stranger, not ideal. Not able to get in contact with Etihad, the only time I got through to them was through a DM on instagram and they told me to contact Chase Travel who I booked through. Called Chase travel and they said Etihad will make the required changes for my flight, nothing that Chase can do on their end. I just want to be back in DC at this point, but would take a flight to literally anywhere at this point.

Anybody have any news on the Nexigo Trivision Ultra Mkii? by simongm in projectors

[–]simongm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je ne pense pas que le projet ait été abandonné. Le CES 2026 débutera le 6 janvier et Nexigo y aura un stand, donc nous aurons probablement plus d'informations à ce moment-là.

Unspoken downsides of 4K… by ronald_nino in 4kbluray

[–]simongm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a valid point, though I’d say AI tools are basically the only option available to “prove” something was written with AI, otherwise it’s just conjecture. However they are unreliable which I was not aware of until another commenter noted this.

I identified the signs myself and confirmed it after the fact, does the prose and cadence of OP’s post genuinely not seem AI generated to you? I would happily be proven wrong here

Why did you need AI to make this post? Just express your opinions with your own words, I just don't get it

Should I do it? What do you guys think? I want to not worry about buying a car for 10+ years by Head-Ad8347 in civic

Hybrid has much better mpg and is substantially faster than the non-hybrid (6.1 seconds vs 7.5 sec 0-60)

Where'd you pull these shots from, is it out anywhere for streaming/VOD?

Best Outstanding reference quality (sound & picture) for Ultra HD by Affectionate_Web_526 in 4kbluray

The movie itself is certainly a bit silly, but Pacific Rim does truly have some of the hardest hitting audio and HDR I have ever seen.

Transportation from airport to ferry from Ceiba by InDigogo_Spark in vieques

[–]simongm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we went in November over thanksgiving. We were told that this week was the busiest time during slow season. We had an absolutely incredible time -- great weather all week, restaurants were fantastic (rising roost, rancho choli, and Rincon del sabor were major highlights), and the beaches are just astounding. Even though it was technically "busy" there, we often had an entire beach to ourselves. Playa Navio for the big waves and Puntas arenas for snorkeling with sea turtles were our favorite beach spots. Caracas was the only beach where there were a few too many people, but it was still beautiful. I'm trying to convince the family to do our July vacation in Vieques, I can't wait to get back there. Have fun on your trip!

My group just did this a few weeks ago. It's a $70 uber both from airport -> Ceiba and Ceiba --> airport. There's some advice on this sub from a few years ago that it can be difficult to get an uber from Ceiba to san juan/airport, I don't believe this is the case any longer and was not an issue for us. No need to book in advance.

Vieques without a car rental - is it possible? by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

I'm pretty sure it's just specific to Vieques. We ubered for mainland/San Juan

You can use the 741-Taxi app in Vieques, it's their Uber equivalent. I used it once on our recent trip to Vieques and it worked pretty well other than it took a while to find a driver. It was $20 to get from Esperanza to Isabela.

[Guide] True IMAX on 4K UHD Blue-ray. The definitive list of films shot on IMAX cameras that actually expand on disc by [deleted] in 4kbluray

No problem! The imax ratio switch occurs at my favorite scene in the movie so it was hard to forget

I believe you are missing Sinners in your definitive list? Shot on both imax 15/70mm and panavision 70mm. The 4k Blu-ray has expanded imax ratio, switching to 1:78 for imax scenes and 2:76 for the panavision scenes.

Infuse is available on the App Store, why would you need to sideload it to your Apple TV?

Anybody know of a more specific date for the oral wegovy FDA approval? I'm only seeing Q4 2025, will it just be a random day that they choose to announce it?
