      After 15 years it's time to cut the disc rental part of my Netflix subscription...RedBox or purchase for Blu-ray going forward.

        As a relatively heavy disc renter, it has become progressively harder to receive popular titles without multiple week delays. Netflix rental allocation algorithm favors those who keep discs out longer.

        https://dvd.netflix.com - not sure how much longer that'll be around. I still prefer Blu-ray for the uncompressed sound and best PQ, but streaming is usually good enough. Favorite flicks (not shows) I end up buying on disc anyway.

        Start a blog about it and include hair tips for teens, get 4,000,000 subscribers in a day, punch Logan Paul, retire the next day. Done.

        I loved the Lyr 3 for what it did. Its a great allrounder and a versatile amp that works well with both DDs and Planars. While it does help headphones scale well based on the upstream gear, IMO, it doesn't help unravel the hidden potential of the High-Z DD HPs.

        Big Boy amp upgrade will need to wait till next year. This tapped out my audio budget, might need to let go of LCD2C.

      I too can't figure out what all the Blank Panther hype was about. A bit better than average compared to rest of MCU. I prefer the Cap movies

        I think the Nolan trilogy set the bar for the genre, Dark Knight was a masterpiece. I do have a nostalgic soft spot for the M.Keaton Batman. V for Vendetta was good also, am a Hugo Weaving fan. Unabashed fan of The Matrix trilogy, though hard to top the first.

        And I used to love the Nolan Batman movies but I don’t think they’ve aged well. Especially Dark Knight Rises, but even the ending of Dark Knight is extremely problematic.

        Mass transit is IMO the best solution, but those are almost always city and state funded projects. Autonomous cars are all the private sector, who would love to sell each individual their own car, plus rental cars, selling cars to businesses, etc. Not nearly as much money in mass transit for them.

      Revisited "The Real Thing" by Faith No More. Seems like he's channeling Tina Turner at times with his unique vocal range. Classic in my book

        Is cool. Not into cable rolling. In my mind it's like tweaking the last few possible % of performance.

        I guess we will if enough potential buyers decide some prices are too high (causing companies to not make enough profit). Seems like we should be in a bubble on some headphones/iems but I guess we are not there yet.
