Only drink frozen drinks that are made individually in a blender. Don’t drink them from big machines or dispensers. ICEEs, 7-11 Slurpees, Daiquiris and Pina Coladas in bars, etc. Those machines are supposed to be broke down to be properly cleaned after each shift but it’s an time consuming pain. Bar tenders at the end…

Yes they were 1.25, that doesn’t exist anymore. Now there’s 17 all over the place and 20+ at the nicer theaters, what don’t you get? It’s not silly, you’re just being condescending now.

What I said was not wrong. I said it’s approaching $20. The price is consistently rising. At most you could debate me on the time frame. Theater attendance is absolutely going down. Every single analyst and source agreess on this. That doesn’t mean the showing are going to be abandoned. Just have less people or the…

You’re right that it does mean something to groups that consist of equal numbers of adults and children who go to theaters that advertise prices as the midpoint between adult and child tickets (not sure what chain does this, and your brother-in-law doing it doesn’t make it a thing).

It’s not a real number because it’s meaningless in the scope of this conversation. I made a consumer sided argument, what would be the point of a number that doesn’t tell you the actual cost out of pocket cost. Claiming 8.50 as the average will work out for an equal number of adults and children but what about a…

Because if your not checking tickets in similar brackets then what’s the point? If child tickets are $4 and adult tickets are $13, sure you can average them but that’s not a real number. Maybe it’s useful to theater chain accountants and film studio execs but it’s meaningless to a consumer. It’s like f I said what’s…

This link you sent me won’t me view much without signing up. Most of the page is obscured but the purchase pop-up. What I can see doesn’t answer any of my questions. Who produced this data? What was there sample base? How did they factor different geographical areas and population sizes. What numbers are they…

Yeah? Who did that study? Where is there math? Was it a consumer protection group or sponsored by theater owners to deflect claims that prices have run up to much? What was their sample group? Did they do a breakdown of tickets prices by age and discounts available? What about geographic area and associated cost of…

Really? What numbers? And why did you say 50 cents if you can’t get that price anymore?

Ok I don’t know where you’re going to the movies for 50 cents. That might be available to some people who get seniors,students,veteran’s discounts but I don’t qualify for any of those. I’m not going to the movies for $0.50 without a time machine.  The theaters near me all charge about $17 for an adult on a weeknight,…

The average cost is approaching $20? I mean, I’m sure that some are, but for that to be average, doesn’t someone have to be paying more like $40?

Maybe this can be the wake up call to the theater companies that Napster was to the music labels. With average ticket costs approaching $20 and the absurd price of concessions, it’s no wonder people are only going to the movies every few months for Marvel or Star Wars and nobody is seeing other really good films that…

No it doesn’t, it sucks ass

Hey! I know the perfect theme song they can use.

I’d be genuinely curious to see what happens if some manufacturers who sell genuinely expensive items start shitting on the NRA. If Apple, Sony, or an auto-maker said something, would we really start seeing Twitter posts of working laptops and cars getting shot up.

I will say I had a recall on my driver’s and passenger side airbags recently, not sure if it’s related to this, I have a ‘12 Ford. But scheduling the fix turned into a pain and I suspect a big problem is the Ford service center simply didn’t want to deal with it. If I tried their online appointment tool it would say…

Pfffft! There aren’t even an translucent menus.

Is there some literature somewhere explaining what’s going on with iPhone 8/X wireless charging speeds and why some pads can’t do the 7.5 watt charging even if they can output that? Are the I keep seeing that only the Belkin and Mophie Qi pads can do fast charging but not a clear explanation as to why. Are iPhones…
