What am I missing here? The "sale" has Prestige at $20/month + an initial $20 fee. That would put it at $260 + I assume the roughly $10 processing fee and tax.

But just buying it on its own is $238.99 out the door, renewal or new.

Hey Everybody,

I'm sorry I'm so late on this. Earlier in the year, I put out a bunch of polls to let you, the fanbase, rank various tracks across the band's discography. I meant to compile all of it into a final graphic, but I wound up starting a new job and life got busy.

Anyway! Here's the final result from all your voting 6 months ago. To no surprise, Clarity and Futures dominate on a lot of fronts, but there are sill some standouts. And look how even Best Title Track is across 5 records.

What really struck me is how dominant "A Praise Chorus" was for second track. I did not expect it in a world where "Lucky Denver Mint" exists, but I must be out of touch on the love for APC!

Poor Damage performed as one might expect Damage to perform. But when you are up against the entire body of work (minus the EPs - sorry "Disintegration" and "Roller Queen), someone has to come in last.

It was fun doing this with all of you. Thanks for your input.

It's interesting how box office shifts over time, especially with the prevalence of streaming and other options.

The Toy Story franchise is a juggernaut, no doubt whatsoever, but it's become increasingly frontloaded, which is also common to box office performance today compared to 1995.

And of course, Toy Story 5 is hardly done. But even if it finishes with $505M domestic, it'll still sit at around a 3.15 multiplier. For context, if it had Toy Story 3's legs, it'd finish at over $600M domestic.

A 3.15 multiplier is fantastic, regardless, and nothing to shake a stick at in today's marketplace.

Other Disney property comparisons:

• MCU: 2.69
• Pixar: 3.71
• Disney Animation Overall: 6.39 (harder to measure given the history)
• Disney Animation Since 1989: 5.77
• Disney Live Action Remakes: 3.40
• Disney-Era Star Wars: 2.94

But I do wonder why Pixar can't drum up as much repeat business for Toy Story as they used to, outside of people waiting for streaming. Only 3 years ago, Elemental managed to leg out the 3rd-highest multiplier in all of Pixar.

I've read this can be an issue in the Mk7 Jettas. I noticed this week my passenger side DRL is not producing as much light as the driver one. Headlights, turn signals, and high beams are all fine.

My battery is fine. I tried removing the housing that connects cables to the unit to make sure the connector wasn't shot, but I couldn't get it off.

Googling has led me to believe the DRL component got overheated and fried, which is a common flaw in the Jetta. But that's an internet search. I'd appreciate any feedback you have as owners.

It's a 2019 SEL Premium.

Onward has been something of a joke in our family. We watched in in 2020 when it hit Disney+ after the world shut down, and my kids didn't like it much at the time. We've never touched it since, and it's usually come up in the form of a threat, "Calm down or I'll pick Onward for movie night!"

Now, six years ago, my oldest was five, my next oldest was two, and we were about to have our third. Now I have four goons I'm responsible for, and I figured I could give this flick another shot. After all, kids who complain about a cartoon are still more likely to sit and watch the cartoon than run away in protest.

I remember Onward being perfectly enjoyable, but I feel like it's all but forgotten, jettisoned to that weird realm as the movie that came out over the same weekend when everything started closing up around the world. We don't remember it as a straight-to-streaming Pixar feature like Soul or Turning Red (and maybe Luca, but I feel like that's another forgotten film). It just kinda showed up, got creamed at the box office by COVID, did better on streaming, but then disappeared from public consciousness.

I owe Onward an apology. I remember liking the little twists in the end upon first viewing - that Ian looks at his list of things he wants to do with his dad, initially dismayed that he'll do none of them, and then coming to the realization that he had an older brother to have those experience with, all while his "screw up" older brother never had any of them. It's really pretty dang poignant and made me tear up a bit on this viewing. It's a big turn for a character that wants nothing more than to see his dad, but he realizes his brother doesn't just want to see their dad, but needs to see him and have that experience. I'm a sucker for selflessly portrayed on screen, and I think the film nailed it.

It has its flaws like any movie, and you could argue Barley's character arc is almost undone by the coda, but I think Onward has a beautiful message that's easy to miss because it's rolled up in this intentionally goofy D&D-adjacent vibe.

I actually think Onward deserves a place in the upper tier of Pixar. It might not be in the pantheon of absolute classics, but it is, at worst, standing right outside the door.

I picked up the special pressing with white vinyl, but I always thought surviving was more of a red. For over six years. Red. Apparently it is orange.

Cox Farms is one of the most popular fall farms in the region.

The Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway building at Disneyland is enormous, and the ride itself is longer than its predecessor in Florida.

But I noticed windows around the east and north faces. Anyone have insights into what goes on there?
