You guys are good ... if you didn't look up.

Not hard for me, I probably spend 80-90% of my time on BD.com in the celebrity forums.

Thinking about that spicy chicken curry I'm going to make tomorrow for brunch before my 1-4 shift.

Also thinking about that copy of Cryptonomicon I bought for $7, looks like it's pretty much the exact same printing as the book I misplaced. So just flip to about page 700 and start up again when it gets here. Already at 11 novels read this year, almost done with Street Lawyer and Cryptonomicon, which would take it to 13.

True that; you're the top expert of Hollywood actresses (pictures).

2 different agencies are calling me today to discuss jobs, guessing it's the pre-screening process that could eventually lead to an interview. Need to text the account manager for my 9-3 individual and ask what's going on there because that could affect my interview availability next week.

TIL The Last Jedi 4K was re-issued with new artwork to match the rest of the Saga releases.

However, it only included HDR this time around. Odd that they would press new discs-HDR only. For what it’s worth, that initial release was the only film to include Dolby Vision out of all the SW Films. I think it was the director’s intent.

Dolby Vision release- 2018


HDR release- 2020

With phones that can make 4K and 8K videos you want one terabyte of memory.
If you look @ the price difference of a 128GB memory phone with a 1TB one the financial gap is stratospheric. But a phone with expendable memory card you can find a quality 1TB micro SD card on sale for only fifty bucks (or even less).
The smartphone companies they don't want you to do that; they want maximum money from you, and every year. So they removed that nice feature to improve their financial gains.

Anyway, a nice fully loaded super premium phone today is two grands...1TB.
That's in US dollars. ...Galaxy S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max, ...

I prefer the 2018 version ... in & out. The 2020 version is the greedy version ($$).

Looking at new washing machines. They’re all built like crap these days and filled with plastic components. Mine is over 10 years old and keeps running into issues. Service call +
Parts would likely put me into $300+ range so might as well buy new.

I just checked the mail and to my surprise, I have a check from the US Treasury for $264.94 and I'm not quite sure why

Never ask questions when/if Uncle Sam sends you $. Just be happy and deposit it.

Well my state refund for 2021 was in the $200 range but it went direct deposit so I just checked my account to make sure that it wasn't for the same amount and it's not. It was $218. Had it been for the exact same amount, I would have figured that the check was sent in error and I would have called them. Not that I'm that good of a person but I wouldn't want them to come back and tax that ass later

Yeah if they make a mistake they’ll catch it and get ya!
