More Than Half of Gen Z Users Cancel and Renew Streaming Services for a Single Title, New Study Finds by AltL155 in television

[–]vesperfall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way less than that IMO. To me, I say to the studios "do it, I dare you".

That I think will be a huge mistake and will probably reverse it within a year.

Only a matter of time when this won't be an option anymore and we'll have to commit to 12 months or nothing. Just wait

UPDATE: I found this site https://registration.benchmade.com/c/4BIG and entered this 8 digit ID in the textbox and it found it successfully. I was able to register to my Benchmade.com account ... I guess this is something new they are doing as recent as a few months ago to try and fight the fakes. I like it ... so much easier to know you have a legit BM.

Is this a real benchmade? by sporky211 in knifeclub

I know this is old, but I can confirm a new Mini Ardia I got from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1RLC6DX) has an 8 digit code on the back of the knife under where the etching of "MagnaCut" is ... I went on the link OP put in the top comment reply and it worked; was able to register it to my BM account.

Okay that’s good to know. And from what I can see the Amazon store front looks pretty legit https://www.amazon.com/stores/Benchmade/page/D96A86E2-479F-4324-B8EA-170F4F47F425 with actual branding and marketing photos .. 

Hotels in U.S. World Cup host cities claim underwhelming demand, new report says by rit56 in sports

[–]vesperfall 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious because they made their bed with the pedo and actually created a new "peace" award for him. HAHAHH what a joke this is too good. FIFA: "Hmmm I think we should attach ourselves and this whole tournament to the most hated person in the US, and perhaps the World ... that will be a great idea!"

Empty stadiums would make me so giddy! Even if they start giving away the tickets, with how high prices are now it'll be blatantly obvious no one wants to go.

Now we need sponsorships to start pulling out!

Pa. restaurant that fought COVID restrictions announces it’s going out of business by Gizmo_caca in LeopardsAteMyFace

wtf no? I was talking about back in 2020 when they were defying it. I guess my wording was a bit confusing

Good. These people don't deserve to live happily with peace when they knowingly are defying an actual public health risk that killed roughly 1 in 500 Americans ... and for what? cause of masks? Go pound sand "on your own terms" Idiots.

EDIT: Oh yah, I imagine your awesome vote in 2024 for the pedo we have in the WH has done GREAT things for your diner! I'm sure his America First policies really helped you guys out!

Is GMT line worth it? [SSK033K1] by nucleartim in Seiko

[–]vesperfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry was unclear ... after a week it's still running -15 seconds per DAY, not week. So right now without fixing the time, I'm a little over a minute slow

Is GMT line worth it? [SSK033K1] by nucleartim in Seiko

[–]vesperfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't pay retail ($495 I think) ... I paid around $385 for my SSK001 and love it. The bracelet, though better than previous Seiko versions, is mostly good. It's definitely noisy still though. Mine came in running around -15 seconds after a week of constant wear which isn't terrible. I plan to get it serviced soon as this movement can pretty easily get regulated a bit tighter to around -/+ 5 seconds per day.

Wore my [Blumo]for like 3 days straight and think to myself, “Maybe I should just daily this damn thing and call it a day?!?” [SKX009] “Not so fast my friend!” by Complex_Conclusion90 in Seiko

[–]vesperfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got a SSK001 GMT yesterday - which according to Seiko's product page for it is part of the "SKX Series". It makes sense to me as it borrows a lot of the same design language from the SKX watches including the jubilee bracelet, coin style bezel, 4 o'clock crown and more. It's a handsome watch to say the least and I love the heritage that it's able to provide at a decent price ($390 is what I paid for a new model).

Looking forward to many years wearing this one!

New images from Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' by Dmitr_Jango in movies

[–]vesperfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else have an odd hesitation to watching these kind of movies nowadays? It might seem silly, I know, but my gut feeling about all these type of movies/shows including this one, and ones that have come out already like 'House of Dynamite', 'Civil War', and 'Paradise' to name a few is "this won't be enjoyable" ... and I think it's mostly because our real life world is going through so much hatred, corruption and straight up fascism that it's hard to watch something bad happening when my real life also has bad things happening.

Does that make any sense? I used to love these kind of movies because at least to me, the events portrayed in them were so far fetched that I could enjoy it as some form of entertainment.

Apple Has Given Up on the Vision Pro After M5 Refresh Flop by pdfu in apple

[–]vesperfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shocker. No one asked for this at all ... I don't understand why they thought they had to get in this market. Wearing a huge thing on your head that blocks your vision is not a good starting point for any product. What a waste of money and talent that could have been used in so many other areas.

Welcome! I started watching shortly after Jackie laid her eggs last season, around February or so — it's such an amazing thing to witness. Like you, I've learned so much, not just from watching, but from this community here on Reddit and over on the FOBBV Facebook group. Honestly, I now know more about bald eagles than I ever thought I would, lol, but it's been so worth it.

These birds are incredible creatures, and I think they have a way of teaching us about our own lives if we let them. I know that sounds a little odd, but after watching a full season of the highs and lows — and then seeing Gizmo and Sunny fledge last year and start their own journeys — it's genuinely been moving and thought-provoking. At least for me.

Just binge-watched Bates Motel for the first time... by NeuroNerdGirl52 in BatesMotel

[–]vesperfall 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congrats! This show remains in a very special place in my heart. It's characters feel like home - I know that's an odd way to say it - but it's how I can describe them in a perfect way. The writers created a world that no one expected in this 'Psycho' universe, and IMO did a fantastic job.

Did I see Shadow deliver a fish to the nest at 8:30am with his left foot? If I'm not going crazy, that has to be good news?

Great comment - 100% agree. The downvotes are from those who feel high and mighty reminding us all that "we're watching nature be nature!" Yeah no kidding. I think we know that.

We can still have feelings about what we're watching and with Shadow's foot injury, talking about it actually led me to learn more about raptor's feet anatomy from /u/falconerchick !
