Universal Pictures and AMC Theatres have put aside a bitter feud and signed a multi-year agreement that will allow the studio’s films to premiere on premium video on-demand within three weeks of their theatrical debuts.
The pact, sure to send shockwaves throughout the exhibition industry, has the potential to reshape the ways that movies are marketed and distributed. Rival studios are likely to begin pushing for exhibitors to grant them more flexibility when it comes to determining when and how their theatrical releases can make their way onto home entertainment platforms.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. However, in a statement, AMC’s CEO Adam Aron said the company will “share in these new revenue streams,” which means that it will get a cut of any money made on these digital rentals. Universal only has the ability to put its movies on premium on-demand, meaning the rentals that go for roughly $20 a pop. It cannot sell films or rent them for lower on-demand fees, in the $3 to $6 range, until three months after they debut in cinemas.

you mean I can watch movies at home after a month or so without having to deal with theater crowds being fucking annoying?
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I have finished Shadows of War, which is basically a pale cash grab imitiation of the first one, and have now moved on to Vampyr.
They've certainly tried something with this one, not sure what it is. At least it's atmospheric? But damn is the combat janky. The hardest enemy in the game is the camera.
apparently youtube thinks that the best suggestion for "watch next" after a vid about what to use for stripping the paint off of plastic miniatures is "the women who are stripping off for men's rights"
the stripping is a coincidence
the algorithm just assumes that if you're into miniatures you're MRA and horny

My games now are still GTFO - pretty sure I have over 100 hours in it now. The jury is in and it’s the best co-op game of the past decade*.
And Ghost of Tsushima which started out fun and I’d say now has gotten very super fun.
* if you fill the specific criteria to play it enjoyably which is having a static crew willing to play every week
It’s a very tight outward spiral of complexity, food and oxygen are “solved” but create problems in water and heat
Solving those will create problems of sprawl and inefficiency
Also a dupe destroyed my base by accidentally puncturing my water silo and flooded several levels so I save scummed
Ironman this game would be hard!

I don't know how good gulf oysters are on their own, but I've had chargrilled oysters in a lot of places, and none of them compare to the chargrilled oysters at Drago's in New Orleans, which are among the top five things I've ever put in my mouth.
I am solving heat by pumping a large reservoir of salt water through a magic cold machine in radiant pipes and then piping that water throughout my freshwater silo and hot spots in my base
Cold air wasn’t transferring enough heat so I flooded the area below the cold machine and now pipe the saltwater through that too
Gradually my crops are cooling down to the point where they’ll grow again
THAT would have been a real problem but I had just planted a bunch of heat tolerant salt water lettuce
the ONI metagame according to the youtubes seems to be to race for steel and plastic using the starting resources as a runway, and then only pivoting to sustainability

so i got a free copy of my credit report as part of the refi i'm doing
my score is good, not the best, but good enough to get the best rates or whatever
the negative points against me are "amount owed on revolving accounts is too high" and "proportion of balances to credit limits is too high on revolving accounts"
we have a single credit card and we pay it off every single month and have never carried a balance on it so

shark you may to request a higher credit limit on the card(s) you use, they seem to care a lot about the amount you have charged/amount you are able to charge

those magic cold machines gotta be causing some kind of terrible shit to happen somewhere
they are even called "Anti Entropy Thermo-Nullifier". Entropy does not suffer being flexed with. Someone is paying that bill.

I'm trying to get them to give me their opinion on whether a particular Article applies to me, or that I'm reading it correctly.
I, apparently, managed to successfully convince my management that I'm reading it correctly, but apparently my union's National outfit (the local that responded to my email mentioned they send interpretation questions up the chain to National), replied with an opposing interpretation, but without any explanation.
So now I'm asking if they could explain how they reached their interpretation, because I'm not finding any support for it in the CBA itself.
Come to think of it, I should probably short circuit this entire process and just run for a Union steward position.
If i wanted to make this cleaner I have several possible issues
1. the entry data isn't clean enough to use DB functions on
2. Google Sheets doesn't support doing what I need in a single DB function, and probably isn't more elegant with more than one
3. I don't know how!
The upshot of this method is that I can enter new sales in plaintext (important for another purpose on another sheet), and this will read what I entered and automatically calculate my cost into the top. I've been doing this manually with all the other sheets and this time wanted to see if I could remember how Excel (or Google Sheets in this case) could make things more automated. Turns out a decade of rust does come off, mostly, eventually.

Lobster dna is 96% like humans that’s why they put lipstick on lobsters for testing (not red lipstick because you couldn’t tell after boiling).
Lobsters live in water (100%) and cucumber is 90% water - it’s mathematically true then that humans are 86.4% cucumber
It sucks and I like it
Edit: and berries!
And everyone who has betrayed me >:(
You feddup widdis whurl?
But are berries the funniest shit you've ever seen

I ended up with a monster of a function that, while inelegant and presumably suboptimal, made me pump my fists in the air when it worked

It's regarding collective bargaining agreement interpretation.
