Anyone here make their own pizza? Like, roll out their own dough as well? Do you have a pizza stone? What do you use? I went to a friend's and he had pizza steels. He said he preferred them to pizza stones. I have a pizza stone around Christmas but still haven't used it. One thing about the pizza st...

I don't know if anyone's gonna look in this thread anymore but there are two books I want to read. Well, more than two but two rather daunting ones, The Brothers Karamazov and The Sound and The Fury. I've read other Faulker stuff and found it smooth like brandy so I might be psyching myself out. It'...

Maybe the follow-up that nobody cares but I went to see Top Gun Maverick at 11:30 PM last night on IMAX and the theater was nearly sold out. Hearing good things about the film I opted to spend $8.79 on a large popcorn. It's really the price of a regular but with paid membership they give you the lar...

$25.49 for one ticket is insane right? Like, no other word. Lucky/unlucky the nearest Imax is a 4 hour drive away... I paid NZ$12.00 (USD$7.83). It'd be rare that I pay to see a movie on IMAX. The first time I remember doing so for a film that wasn't like an IMAX doc special order was Batman Begins...

I'm not sure if it's really inflation or part of their overall market strategy but Netflix raised their price like $1.50 in January and then didn't meet 1st qtr earnings and their stock took a beating because of it. Not only did it lose like 30% in value, I believe was the initial figure, but I thin...

So, Lord Huron came and played a show outside of the music fest and I was able to go. It wasn't exactly close to where I live and I couldn't head out until I finished work, which was kinda fine as it allowed me to wait out traffic but it prevented me from getting close to the stage. I was still fine...

Wow. That's a huge scam. I presume the ticket seller has a monopoly? Must be the case because as it would be trivial to undercut those fees and still make a profit. Especially these days where almost everything is done online and you only need a handful of frontline customer service staff. There is...

Back to my excessive ticket fees rant. Single game NFL tickets went on sale today. For one game, I got seats on the 4th level, kinda towards the corner but not quite. Hard to judge exactly due to stadium curvature but I'd guess around the 25 yardline. Those tix were around $230 each. The other game,...

I was kinda thinking about something like this just recently. Like, how much has mistreatment, so to speak, made me gunshy or overly suspicious of women? Maybe that's not the best way to put it. More like caused that to be taken off the table, in my mind's way of thinking. I don't look at myself lik...

Russian military chopper operating an hour away... https://youtu.be/E3falAPpyS4 I'm way late in replying to this but I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the ending. As I was watching I thought two things 1) Every US military helicopter I've seen in operation has been louder than thunder, how did th...
