I seem to remember Mayhem being kind of middling and Backstage Assault being awful. IIRC, Mayhem was way better than Nitro or Thunder.

On the “sprinkles” front, there are any number of small items that would be great to put on your cake to give it a nice look without taking much skill or effort. Mini M&Ms, chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, you name it.

That looks horrifying.

Yes, some platforms do require a $4.99 purchase to use the Plex app unless you have Plex Pass.  Mostly mobile ones as you mentioned, but I think Roku does as well (at least, it did when I was using it, which is the main reason I used Rarflix instead of the official Plex app).

You don’t need Plex Pass to stream media outside the home; you can do that with a free Plex account. You do need Plex Pass to download the media for offline viewing via Plex, though.

As others have mentioned, Plex would give you remote access, metadata, searchability, etc.  It also gives you transcoding on the fly if you’re using capable hardware (i.e. not a low-end home NAS), which enables you to stream over low-bandwidth connections or to devices with limited codec support.

Steve, I love you, you’ve made some of the greatest films of all time. But you are 100% wrong about this. The Oscars should be about celebrating an art form, not a business model.

It weirds me out how adamant people get about certain foodstuffs. I mean, why would it bother you if someone likes or doesn’t like mayo? It’s just fucking mayo.

At one point, there was an “X-Men Origins: Magneto” film slated, but since “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” bombed, the dropped it and wove the plotline into First Class instead.

I’d guess that takeout containers wouldn’t have lead.  At least, I’d hope so.

I’m not sure I understand the argument here.  Wouldn’t ranked voting prevent vote splitting from being too much of a factor?

Or how about reimagining Elmer Fudd as a creepy hitman and having him fight Batman... oh wait.

A couple of them pointed out vehicles that are American made, even if they do have foreign badges.

Try pineapple and olive if you want something similar to a Hawaiian, but meatless. My wife’s family likes to call it the Jewish Hawaiian (they’re Jewish, but don’t keep kosher, but they have family that do).  Jalapenos also go well as a third topping.

I always thought the names were Single, Double, Triple, and Tetris, in that order.  But I played Tengen’s Tetris as a kid.

Then why’d they have to cut jobs?

I always find humor is one of the better ways to deal with pain, so this is definitely on my rejection/breakup playlist.

There’s lots of stuff in Leviticus that most churches ignore. I’m not aware of many Christian churches that forbid eating shellfish or wearing mixed fibers, for example

“Special kind of chocolate”?  I usually make it with plain old dark chocolate.
