Discussion of our review of Megalopolis Movie

#1 Read the Megalopolis Movie Review. Utter folly, like ChatGPT was asked to blend AmDram Julius Caesar with Sin City, using pseudo-modern Shakespeare-inflected dialogue... how the mighty have jumped... and fallen.

Jan 12, 2025 | avforums.com | LFC Jon |Derek S-H

#1 I’m in the market for some kind of stand/sideboard etc for my set up and I’m curious to know or see what others are using? Especially given some of the furniture prices out there, so….

Just standard shelf brackets from any DIY store and heavy wooden shelves screwed on to those. No movement in any of...

#1 And that got me thinking about your online presence as most of us have one now. Namely, this: One day, you'll leave your data behind. www.howtogeek.com A friend recently told me that she wanted to start paying into a funeral plan as both she and her daughter have little money for one between them. I have never looked at the T&C's of any of my accounts around this topic, has anyone on here? If so, what did you do, if anything? Perhaps @MrFraggle might find this Thread useful (if it gets any...

#1 Its that time again when everything's meant to be light and fun, but what's your Christmas hate? It could be family meet where you've got a relative who is an absolute dick, maybe you hate having a tree in the house and having to decorate the living room. Or maybe you have grandkids who just go mental disturbing your peace, or the compulsory attendance at the works Christmas party? Its your gripe I want to hear about. For me, its these things. I detest Christmas jumpers. Just hate them and...

#2 With such a reliance on digital processing internally then why didn't they also include UPNP streaming or internet radio - seems a strange omission in this day and age. ____________________________ The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask.

SD Unwatchable on new Samsung QLED 65 inch TV

Nov 24, 2024 | avforums.com | Derek S-H

#1 Good morning, I have just upgraded from 55 inch Panasonic curved 55 inch 4k TV to Samsung 8K QLED 65 inch The picture quality of SD FTA and SD DVD's programs are so bad they are unwatchable Even the BBC news channel Is this normal? Can I make some adjustments to improve this? #2 Yep, SD broadcast channels are low bit rate to start with and on a 55 inch 4k aren't great but passable, you've now increased the screen size so all those imperfections would look worse anyway compared to your 55...
Rogers LS5/9 is there a modern alternative ?

Oct 26, 2024 | avforums.com | Spyder Viewer |Derek S-H |Ex Turpi Hifi

#1 Hi, Heard lots of wonderful things over the years about the Rogers LS5/9 speakers. Also heard speakers in a record shop once about 15 years ago and was astonished at the sound and was told that they were Rogers LS5's and I was well impressed. Is there any close modern alternative to them? Apparently they were 1,250 GBP approx. when they were last made, 10 years ago approx. ? Cheers, Alistair G.

Advice on dealing with NHS bureaucracy/lack of care toward staff?

Oct 20, 2024 | avforums.com | Derek S-H

#1 Hello everyone, Apologies for what may be a lengthy first post. I'm a nurse working in the NHS in Scotland. I have been qualified for approx. 15 years and so much has changed in that time. None of it for the better, sadly. I have suffered a few work-related injuries from incidents with patients over the years. We deal with some very poorly and confused people, many of whom display challenging behaviours and, as much as our employers purport to care about our wellbeing, there is definitely...
