With ticket sales down and newly released movies hitting streaming and video-on-demand (VOD) services in record time, it’s not surprising that films are struggling to make it big in theaters. For comparison, 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road grossed a whopping $45 million over a non-holiday opening weekend, which ultimately led to...
A Regal cinema that I go to is also somewhat in disrepair. I’m guessing the theater chains aren’t very interested in paying money to keep them up. Every time I go there are maybe 5 people in a single theater.

I have gamepass and I’m happy with it. I tend to dabble in a lot of games instead of playing one game for a long time.
One new game costs $60 to purchase. For me personally there is little chance I will be playing it 4 months from now.
Alternatively I can pay for gamepass and play any of those games for $15 a month. The only situation where this ends up being a worse deal is if I only play one game for more than four months, which so far has not happened for me.
I realize that doesn’t make sense for everyone, though.

Perhaps related, there was a news post today about an effort to develop a standardized system for time on the moon.
I mean, it doesn’t weigh 100 kg. That’s a measurement of mass, not weight. We often discuss our weight using kilograms with the assumption that we’re talking about it at sea level, but the weight would be different at different altitudes. It may be pretty negligible though, I suppose.
Yeah I was surprised too but being a cis man doesn’t preclude them from being gay or pan or whatever. I prefer to think of people as default allies until they prove themselves otherwise.
Further, I don’t think it’s a problem for cis het men to be here if it’s from a learning/allyship perspective.
Yeah I totally agree. You can minimize and optimize as part of your build procedure/compilation but the source code should be as readable as possible for humans.
