    My S10+ is still solid. Not sure if I'd be okay with the battery life if I was traveling like I was pre-pandemic but it still seems okay, but it also seems to pretty significantly vary how long it lasts, like I'll randomly get a process guzzling battery. 

     

    Biggest issue is a couple of stuck pixels, but it's mostly a big deal watching video. Got it at launch and will keep it until the end of support (unless a really amazing S22 Ultra Black Friday offer rolls around I guess), otherwise I'll be deciding between S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra. Five years of support means there's something to be said for hopping on a four year cycle a year behind the latest round. 

     

    I was on a 3 year cycle but I will probably be switching to a 4 year going forward. At 3.5 years old this phone still performs fine for what I do with it just has a shit battery.

    Orville - New Horizons 

     

    The move to streaming was a mixed bag IMO. Clearly had a bump in the budget and fewer episodes allowed for increased production values on a per episode basis. They also were allowed to do longer episodes which unfortunately for most of the plots was unnecessary and it always felt like there was a scene or two that could be cut from almost any episode. I think Seth Macfarlane has finally accepted the fact that he is a bad actor and allowed the rest of the cast to have more screen time this season.

     

    One surprising change was the almost complete lack of humor this season outside the last episode. The first season was a mess with dick and fart jokes and modern day pop culture references that were totally out of place. Second season they wisely changed it up to make the humor more culture clash based and it worked really well most of the time, this season had almost nothing aside from a few one liners from Bortus who remains the MVP of the show.

    Worst business decisions ever.

    This is from 1972

     

     

     

    Xerox was 10 years ahead of anyone else and we are talking about 10 years in the computer industry, that is like 3 lifetimes and they did nothing with it.

     

    Pretty much everything from the mother of all tech demos that occurred a few years earlier is here in commercial ready package. Again this was 1972

    The Northman

     

    I was not a fan of the mysticism elements and thought they really detracted from the rest of movie, I understand why they were in there to not make it paint by number revenge film but they just didn't work for me.

    The unbearable weight of massive talent

     

    Nic Cage being a caricature or how knows maybe real Nic Cage is entertaining. This movie is not quite what the trailers made it out to be though. A good time was had though.

    Put about 5 hours into Evil Genius 2. I typically like these builder/management type games but this one the systems just don't work well together. The base building is separate from the income earning portion of the game and it makes for a muddled mess. Really disappointed in this one.

     

    Going to start Deathloop next. 

    Update: Vince McMahon retires after rape allegations and NDAs and all that

    I’m kinda genuinely concerned (concerned isn’t really the correct word, but neither is “intrigued” or even interested lol. Maybe something between the three?) with Nick Khan being what is seemingly co-CEO. I’m pretty sure he just wants to sell the company to NBC, Fox or Disney

     

    Selling the company is almost assuredly his number one goal.

     

    The first thing he should do is fire Kevin Dunn and put in anyone that will direct the show like they are not having a seizure, I say this with no hyperbole that WWE is literally unwatchable to me now because of the camera work.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds

     

    Best first season of Trek since TOS and it maybe beats it but has the advantage of only having to put out 10 episodes so they can focus on quality instead of quantity. Great cast in terms of characters and actors, excellent production values and it has the proper Trek adventure spirit to it where it can have serious plots without being excessively dark. My only complaints are Spock continuing to be the center of the Star trek universe at Skywalker levels of importance and also I did not like the Gorn being straight up monsters that hunt and eat everyone they come across.

    Where did you buy that house, if I may ask?

     

    upstate NY, it was very much a starter home. 1000sqft and needed updating but structural and mechanically fine

     

    I paid 95,000 for it in 2011 and sold it for 115,000 in 2017 after putting about 15k into it. Looking at online estimates which who knows how accurate those are it is currently worth 165,000-180,000 which is crazy IMO.
