    For me, I tried reading it years ago and it felt slow like he was going into too much detail about things that didn't matter, like the slope of the road or some such. After the movies came out and I enjoyed them, I decided to go back and give it another try. What finally made me stop was when I realized a scene he was describing that was dull and boring in the book was actually exciting and intense in the movie. I'm glad for the people who like it, but I'm glad I got to see the story in movie form instead.

    I'm getting a lot more downvotes for this than I thought I would. If you disagree, let's have a discussion. Maybe I'm wrong? But getting a financial advisor made it very easy for me to see what I need to do to retire.

    Sure, but I wasn't paying attention to that and I think a lot of people weren't either. The previews, while musical, seemed stylized and did not convey a strong sense that that is how the whole movie was going to be.

    I would recommend against using those then. The one I'm using from Edward Jones is buying funds from a number of different companies, not just specific to Edward Jones. It's important to ask a potential financial investor how they get paid and that can help you understand whether they're going to be working in your best interest or not.

    Get a financial advisor. Unless finances is your job, hobby, or desire, just use someone else for this. I use Edward Jones but I would imagine there are lots of good options. They can help you figure out how much you need to save for retirement and give you realistic goals and expectations. You might be better off than you think, or it might not be hard to get to where you need to be when you have someone who can help you figure this stuff out. At the very least, looking to Roth IRAs

    The first one was the only one worth watching. Story about a man getting vengeance for his dog was great. All the nonsense about some secret hitman underworld didn't make any sense

    That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren't expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren't going to attend since they aren't being advertised to

    When I hear this, I just wish everyone got together and silently refused. Not quit. Not day that they aren't going to do that. Just not show up. Make HR have to deal with everyone ignoring it

    Soundtracks to puzzle video games. Spacechem and the rest of the Zachtronics games have Great music that helps encourage concentration in my opinion.

  • For almost the entire time I've been using Thunder, my default view has been by subscriptions. I'm not sure if something changed and this got deleted, or for new feature was added and didn't taken to account the subscriptions, but I'd like to set it back to that being my default view.

    I currently have a win 11 machine and would like to dual boot with Linux. Looking at some of the different options, it seems many aren't recommended for dual booting. Are there any that are?

    I have a laser level that I'd like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I'm doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I'd rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?

    I grabbed a copy of the "High Refresh Rate Build" from PCMasterRace and wanted feedback. I've not built a new PC in many years and last I heard was the NewEgg was trash and unreliable now. Is it decent again, or is it worth paying more to get it elsewhere? Also, is there room for more storage? If I bought two of the SSDs, would there be room? Other components decent? And, finally, my so wants an RBG case, so any recommendations on one of those that would fit this stuff would be great.

    When you long hold, it gives the option to visit the community and block community. A third option would be to subscribe to the community, since I know there are going to be many I want to just add. The other bug/optimization is that, when I followed the link in the Thunder app's about page, it loaded this community as a web page instead of going to the community in the app itself.
