Betty_Boopie@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•I just want to afford to see a movie goddammit6·1 month agoI haven’t been to my local IMAX theater in nearly a decade because the sound system went to absolute shit and they still haven’t updated it.
Even before I went down the audio rabbit hole I felt it was a huge upgrade just having a cheap pair of bookshelf speakers and decent looking TV. Now with OLED becoming ubiquitous it’s too easy to make an amazing setup that doesn’t break the bank. Theaters need to do some drastic changes to bring back their value, but honestly it might just be better leaving them in the history books.

They renamed it the 3/9th burger so dumbass Americans wouldn’t feel like they were being ripped off. Americans have been leading the world in dumbassery for the decades at this point.
Hot take: if you add way more garlic than the recipe calls for then you aren’t chopping it finely enough.
I used to triple the amount of garlic until I started to make fresh garlic paste instead of just dicing the clove. The difference it makes cannot be overstated and it allows other flavors in the dish to shine side-by-side with the garlic instead of having spontaneous garlic bursts.
Bromton bikes cost around $1.5k minimum, some can go for over $6k. That bike costs more than my custom road bike, and he could absolutely afford a taxi or a used car if he wanted.
Not defending the CCP, but this title just makes no fucking sense. Like is ‘small millionaire’ supposed to make him sound poor? He still has more money than 99% of the population, am I supposed to feel bad he no longer has more money than 99.999%?
