  1. It’s almost a certainty this is what will happen. They can say Bama and BYU were both punished for losing and they did not compare Notre Dame and Miami so head to head doesn’t matter. Blow it up.
  2. Eh, I don’t really think that’s true. We deserve to be in the playoffs, but I think this team is fundamentally flawed in ways that would prevent us from winning it all. I think 23 and 24 and are much more 08-like than this season. We very well could have won it all both years, just like in 08.
  3. Still crashing in chrome for me. I’ll just try to use safari, which was working better
  4. Safari seemed to work a little better, but it did crash with the attached message. It’s been like this for me since the last update, but manageable. But much worse all of the sudden. Don’t think there has been a recent update
  5. iPhone 16 pro max, OS26.1 Confirmed still happening with incognito. I used the movie you just watched thread as a test.
  6. Still happening for me, too. It’s been happening since the last update (I think), but it’s noticeably worse in the last 24 hours. Have cleared cookies, restarted chrome, etc.
  7. And if you want to completely fuck yourself up, wash it down with Threads. For my money one of the more unnerving films out there.
  8. From LaGuardia you need to take a car unless you are really trying to pinch pennies. You’d have to take a bus to a subway/LIRR connection in queens, and then another subway to Chelsea.
  9. I am constantly getting a forced page refresh, followed shortly by a crash (image below). Only on this site. I assume it is twitter
  10. I'm not sure I agree with that, although I agree that neither is a great outcome. For the average consumer, this is probably going to be a great deal. The average consumer doesn't care about craft or quality or experience. The average consumer cares about convenience. Sit on couch, turn on screen, screen output shiny content, scroll on smaller screen. The end. This deal will *without question* result in more of that. There is a smaller set of consumers that cares about both the quality of movies and the quality of the method by which movies are consumed. This deal is certainly a disaster for the latter, and probably very bad for the former.
  11. I wouldn’t really categorize either in that manner. More detail for anyone who cares. Netflix presents (in my estimation) a greater regulatory risk than the other bidders (who themselves are not free from risk). Netflix could have agreed to do everything under the sun to get the deal cleared (so called "hell or high water" obligations). Instead, they agreed to a more measured standard. They are required to litigate against the government to close the deal, and they are required to accept government-imposed divestiture requirements for the WBD business unless doing so would be extremely bad for the business (in plain english). Importantly, they are not required to divest Netflix's other businesses. So, you can think of the $5.8 bln break fee as compensating WBD for taking this level of regulatory risk. Separately, WBD has to shut down their auction, but they can still terminate the deal if they get an unsolicited superior proposal from someone. Very unlikely since they ran a very public process, but if that happened, they would have to pay Netflix a $2.8 billion break fee.
  12. You, in the future (man)
  13. The answer is yes, eventually. It’s a battle for eyeballs, and the more you give the consumer the opportunity to switch apps, the more you give them the opportunity to switch to another corporation’s app. you will be paying $80 for a Netflix/HBO streaming package, and your choice for theatrical and physical media will dwindle.
  14. Certainly better if you enjoy not having movies in theaters and paying Netflix $80 a month.
