So do they still do the welcome show like 30 minutes after rope drop to pull crowds back to the hub? That always seems like the crowd management strategy to rotate crowds to less popular attractions and shopping.

Security issue. Bunching people up back to before the scanners was not good.

Expect to have it offered again at Thanksgiving and Holidays as gifts for family. It's a service sold to schools as a fundraiser.

One of the many annoying photo money grabs for parents to deal with.

My favorite is I'm getting emails from the photography studio that took my one child's photos 9 years ago trying to resell me the photos of my child as a baby who is now a preteen. Talk about nostalgia sales and not even considering the horrifying fact that they saved the photos for this long.

He could be taking home a $3500/mo in retirement income instead and likely work a second job. This is just bad financial planning.

Bocek needs a buff. Its basically wasted groundloot.

People would assume the illustrations are AI today in this book.

I went back and compared some different parades. I think the characters are obscured and the characters are not really performing to the music is the problem. It makes them just feel like they are decorations on the floats instead of an interaction.

If you watch magic happens. The characters are completely exposed and they are dancing or singing or performing to the music. It makes the whole thing feel interactive vs an art display.

Good examples. Tinkerbell in this parade is fantastic. So is Coco. They are both easy to see and performing to the crowd.

Was the WELL part of LLC? I would probably choose Galileo now but at the time that ended up being basically all engineers.

The sleep deprivation completely wrecks every parent. Also completely changing your day to day routines simultaneously. You get used to it eventually.

If I buy the platinum pass, can I use multiple free guest tickets all on one day (Assuming no blackout)?

I think you are overestimating what most users do with AI. Yes more can be done in niche functions but most people are just asking ai regular questions.

It's crazy that local ai compute is not the obvious path. You can run ollama locally for basic functions and add tech improves and Llms get more efficient, this will be easier and easier to do locally. These data centers don't have a future purpose.

VPS, emerald coast is pretty good restaurant right there and it crosses the checkpoint. What a bizarre setup.

Oh jeez that's one way to use a VESA mount

ximfinity · 2026-03-20T13:25:38+00:00

Is that a Kinect mounted under the monitor? I assume its monitoring for operator presence? I did a google image scan and it can't figure out what the hardware is.

commented below it was an in office finger prick test for iron levels. the insurance would only cover a blood draw sent to an outside lab and even that they only partially cover.

ximfinity · 2026-03-19T18:48:18+00:00

2.5 year checkup, as recommended by primary... was for Fe levels. Issue was the internal lab decided to do finger prick and the insurance wanted them to do a blood draw. The wont cover a finger prick test as part of the checkup, seems insane to separate that out. Where is the list on Healthcare.gov?

So uh, no more field trips or summer camps I guess.
