Alright, there's no need to be a outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed about it.

We've created a new scale:

Well, I should say I don't know of any significance of that word in any way that would trip up board filters/censors (it's not a naughty word, and I don't know of any web services that go by the term that would conflict with CGC.) 

Well, then, we both don't know.

Just now, Get Marwood & I said:

Dranzer overload or Michael not laughing?

Both. Michael laughs at his own wiener when he uses the urinal.

Just now, Get Marwood & I said:

We've hit peak Dranzer overload. Even Michael two rows back isn't laughing.

I don't think this is possible.

Wow, that's truly bizarre. True, I don't get out of the house much, but I'm not aware of any other significance for that word.

In hockey, a r o v e r is a defenseman that plays something of a 4th forward, or a "utility" player that plays both forward and defense.

Does anyone remember what the white inflatable ball that chased The Prisoner around was called?

Dranzer.

When I lived in Belgium I avoided shipping my books to Belgium cause I had to pay import tax in the range of 35-40%. Everything went to my parents in the US who held the books until I visited.

 

One time my mother sent a gift to my daughter, a handmade quilt. She listed the value on the shipping insurance as $1000 (I guess since it was handmade and one of a kind)... I had to pay $350 to the post office for import fees to get it!

 

some gift!

Well... That was a really, really, bad idea...

I've kind of wondered the same thing with the Marvel Famous Firsts hardcover reprints...

While I'm trying to sell off some of my playing card collection, I have stated that I'm not selling internationally right now. I made a trade with someone in the UK, claimed $50/deck, and he for some reason had to pay $25 in taxes to receive the package. It's just a real hassle to sell internationally.

My bet will be on the Disney one just because Disney/Marvel has a better track record than DC.

Not when it comes to TV shows. Marvel TV is mostly garbage. DC shows are mostly watchable, and I love the Gotham series.

Okay, and I don't mean to keep dragging this out so this will be my last reply about it, but I think I need to at least tell you that your opinion is wrong.

Here, you're factually incorrect. Opinions are not objective, therefor they cannot be "right" or "wrong". You are 100% incorrect.

That's impossible. Without your fetching that dictionary, we never technically had, what can be considered by most, a conversation. Pro and con. All we've discussed are the cons. That's only half of a conversation at bestt.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't want to remember any of this conversation. Ever.

These are the kinds of specific details that writers of memoir, history, and journalism yearn for when combing through memories to tell true stories. But such work has always come with the caveat that human memory is fallible. Now, scientists have an idea of just how unreliable it actually can be. New research released this week has found that even people with phenomenal memory are susceptible to having “false memories,” suggesting that “memory distortions are basic and widespread in humans, and it may be unlikely that anyone is immune,” according to the authors of the study published inProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Fake news.

My memory is infallible.

However, I've never admitted to being a human...

Okay, thanks.

And the memory recreation starts instantly-you do not even have to go back more than 10 minutes.  Ask any police officer getting witness statements you will get a wide range of memories-it was a white guy with a gun. It was 2 black guys with knives.  It was a mexican guy with no weapon.  Each person is sure of their memory.

What in the fork are you talking about!?

This has to be at least a 5.0.

Right? This is in great condition.

My understanding is that any credit on your account would be applied at the time your card was charged. The online form isn’t smart enough to search for any credit. 

This. I also haven't submitted yet, but I have read a lot about submissions, and everyone says that they apply the credit (IIRC) sometime after grading and encapsulation. You have to note that you want your credit applied somewhere in the form.

My biggest frustration with being an early adopter of 4K Blu-Ray discs is that most studios still don't publish titles in a true 4K format.  Disney is getting better about it, but they just released Black Panther in true 4K yet released Avengers: Infinity War in 2K up-scaled to 4K.    This happened in the very early days of Blu-Ray, too, but by the time Blu-Ray had won over HD-DVD by 2005 most studios had stopped doing it.

My understanding is that most of the Disney Marvel Universe films will NEVER be available in true 4K because either the CGI was rendered in 2K, the cameras they recorded with saved everything they captured to a 2K format, or both.  The recently-released Avengers 1 and 2 films on 4K disc are both upscaled from 2K.

I can't even imagine how bad Proxima Midnight's CGI is in true 4K. I don't want any of that.

Neither much time nor effort for me. Everything's relative. We all have different limits. What you perceive as daunting may possibly be child's play for someone else. Or not. Have you ever considered this? Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time. Some cant manage a decent effort at either alone. Everything's relative.  Consult Einstein concerning relativity. 

What am I even reading..?

Those are some extremes. It'll hurt your sex life, but not as much as those.

So you're saying that the level of how much I care is important enough to you to waste time mentioning it? And that posts shouldn't be made unless you're ready to go all in, mind, body, and soul? How emotionally invested are you in determining the level of my emotional investment in this thread?     I ask, because I can save you a lot of time trying to determine that level. It's the same as Blutarsky's grade point average. Zero point Zero!

Wow, you put way too much time and effort into this response.
