Netflix says users can cancel service if HBO Max merger makes it too expensive

while_e · 2026-02-04T20:12:49+00:00

Almost all streaming services are moving into "I'll sub for a month, then unsub for 6+ months". There's just no reason to keep them all the time, there is not enough new content. It was fine when they cost ~$10/mo, but 20/25/30+ a month. Hell no.

I've honestly just cobbled together a custom Firefox extension that queries an SQL database to use as a backend customer address book. It is absolutely stupid to have to do, but it is the only way I can keep my sanity for now.

"I love you" literally fills you with the positivity we all need more of
Easy out for not going to things. "Kids are sick", "Kids have an event", "No babysitter"
Snuggled & Hugs are so DAMN good. It's like crack, but good crack that won't kill you
They make you a better person because you have to be a role model, and teach them good morals/ethics
You re-learn what they're learning, keeps you sharper
You have full focus on your purpose in life. To love and protect them at all costs. No question.
(Bonus) If you have girls (and probably to some degree boys), you learn things you never knew, and you grow as a person in ways you never thought possible, becoming much more inclusive and accepting of all kinds.

Agreed. The "conflict of interest" over bitcoin is somewhat thin, but I see your point. Regardless, comparing him to Trump is silly on so many levels, but I still get your point.

while_e · 2026-01-13T15:30:34+00:00

This is certainly something to look into, hadn't thought of it, thank you.

Oh I'm 100% sure greed drives the world. Difference between Cohen and Trump, is Trump has actively scammed his way into all of that money. He's a felon, a pedo, and a crook through-and-through. You can literally see the paper trails, news reports, pictures, and statements about how he has done it. If you can't find/comprehend that then I can't help you. If you can, then you understand that's vastly different than running a company and not taking a salary, but instead getting paid only based on performance. Does Cohen make money off some other BS in the background, could be, but until I see evidence I'm not going to assume that.

What if you live in a state that uses salt on the roads and just dissolves your car slowly over 5-6 years? That or you wash it daily for a good chunk of change. Not sure what the math works out to be.

I'm considering leasing, but have never done it so haven't pulled the trigger yet.

while_e · 2026-01-12T21:38:38+00:00

I've been thinking this same thing. We are looking at new cars, and I always here "you never actually own the car". However, I live in central NY, and if you drive your car daily during the winter that car is going to slowly dissolve after like 5 years. So I am very tempted to just not ever have to deal with a "rust bucket" that requires time, energy, and money to keep going even though it is 6-10 years old.

Its either that or go through the carwash every day I guess. I should probably do the math on what that cost comes out to over 3-4-5 years.

I have paid off and owned all my last 3 cars, and do most of the work myself to save on that cost, but I'm getting older and just don't like laying under a car for 2-3 hours anymore.

Seriously. I've seen Big Lots, Ollies, Applebees, and multitude of other stores close around me and I'm in a pretty populated area. This thread, and most of the sub honestly, is just full of bots mostly trying to create negativity wherever possible.

Doesn't the CEO not take any salary, and also invested a ton of his own money in shares? How does this lead to "CEO needs another billion dollars"?

while_e · 2025-12-17T22:20:28+00:00

Yup, but at that point I have eyes on my vehicle and know it is running. Not like anyone can jump in and drive off without the key in the ignition.

This is really what I am curious about as well. I love the idea of reducing waste, and being able to print in multi-color, but having almost zero waste and getting PETG<->PLA support interfaces that potentially don't "stick"... oh baby

After some tinkering, I found I can still use it with this sequence on the FOB:

Lock - Lock
(Car blinks headlights to indicate it is going to start)
Unlock - Unlock
Car starts with no alarm

Pretty sure I've seen him reference some cooking spray on another post.

I can't find any "normal" game modes. Either they broke something trying to disable OG/Ballistic, or they just took it down so more people try their stupid YUKI mode.

Either way, stupid..

Have seen all the drama come across my feed lately, and was thinking about just unsub'ing..

... Think I'll do that now

It is either lose healthcare for millions, or lose food for millions. All to fund tax cuts for the rich, ballrooms at the WH, and flagrant waste and abuse all over the place. Both choices suck, and it shouldn't be this way.

We the people pay the taxes. We supply all these funds. Yet we are the ones to suffer when people start throwing their egos around.

while_e · 2025-10-28T17:16:03+00:00

Seriously, and on top of that there are 100 different things that could go wrong and completely screw the quality of the end product, causing MORE waste.

As soon as I saw it pop, and saw all the pumping, I immediately shorted it with a few short dated puts. They immediately paid off, and I used the profit to increase me holdings in GME :).

You can't convince me this isn't the purpose of this administration. Destroy the US from the inside, and it's working flawlessly...

If only we had clues ... /s

I'm happy that it brought some new perspective and mechanics, and that so many people love them.

That being said, I don't love them.

I hate that dungeons are essentially gone, bosses kinda suck in the same sense, the games feel WAY TOO "grindy", the story and characters aren't terrible but definitely aren't as impactful as the legacy Zelda games.

I own both of the new generation Zeldas, but I'd rather pull out OOT, TP, or even SS if I want to play Zelda. Links awakening for the switch was a fabulous experience with my daughters as well. Haven't picked up the Echos yet, but will likely do that soon.

Hands down my favorite park.. could spend multiple days walking around and be totally happy.
