Honestly, I found the movie pretty dull. There isn't much going on besides a series of action sequences packed with special effects—which, frankly, was the only redeeming quality. It’s just one stunt after another without any real substance behind it. I couldn't find a way to actually get invested in the story. People keep trying to compare this to Matrix, but let's be real: Matrix is in a completely different league.

In my opinion, what the film lacks is a psychological layer—you know, the "why" and the "how," or even just some meaningful character development between the mother and son. I suppose they might try to fix that in a sequel, but as it stands, I'd give it a 2 out of 5.

soundvision said:Quick question—will it be an issue if my Elon Musk card is linked to my checking account instead of a foreign currency account?

That shouldn't be a dealbreaker. However, if you're pulling from a standard USD account, just keep an eye on those conversion fees...

The money will be credited back to your account. Like I mentioned before, your Intel card is tied directly to your foreign currency account, so you can only spend what’s actually sitting in there. Other people can transfer funds to you, too. There's no PIN required for payments, but you'll need to enter the CVV code from the back of the card. Personally, I just stick to using American Express for all my other online transactions.

For example, check out these or those.

I’ve got a Microsoft card linked to my foreign currency account over at Bank of America. I’ve used the card for in-store purchases—standard PIN stuff—but also for online shopping where you don't need a PIN, just that security code on the back. So, yeah, you can definitely make online payments using a Microsoft card from Bank of America.
I honestly don't see why the New York-Los Angeles connection matters so much here. 😬 Maybe if we were talking about the New York-Seattle Dana Cruz3 dynamic, she wouldn't be dealing with such anxiety and stomach issues.
FOX - "The Ultimate IQ Test in Psychology ·
The test is pretty straightforward. Honestly, even the name is a bit silly, considering there are multiple different types of intelligence out there...

Best online payment cards? in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
I use American Express—both the Blue Cash and the standard card—and I’m pretty happy with them. The Blue Cash is great because it lets me split purchases into installments. I’ve used it constantly while traveling abroad and for all my online shopping. Like someone else mentioned earlier, if your card info gets stolen, they’ll get a replacement out to you with a new number within 24 hours at no extra charge.

I also have a Visa linked to my foreign currency account (didn't even ask for it; it just came bundled when I opened the account), but I haven't touched it once...

Personally, I rely on my Maestro for small, everyday purchases. For anything bigger or for anything online, I stick to my Amex. I rarely carry cash these days.
Eternal Brilliance of an Unstoppable Mind in Movies ·
The film was genuinely great and a total pleasant surprise. Usually, when you see Carrey on screen, you expect some silly comedy, but this was truly excellent 👍 And "21 Grams" was fantastic on Friday too. A bit depressing, sure, but brilliant!

I’m also hoping they roll out the avatar update soon. I desperately need to change this Mario guy...
Help interpreting knee X-ray results? in Health ·
It’s my dad’s issue. He’s 56 and his knee has been killing him for about a month now—walking is becoming a real struggle. Could physical therapy actually make a difference here? I’ve also heard there’s some kind of surgery to smooth out the cartilage.
Help interpreting knee X-ray results? in Health ·
Can someone help me make sense of this?

The X-ray of my right knee shows that the joint space width is normal.
There is significant subchondral sclerosis of the articular surfaces along with narrowing of the intercondylar

Can I get a buzz from Coca-Cola? in Health ·
No. That’s like saying you can blow a whistle just because you’re drinking coffee....
How clean are your local dentist's offices? in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
It really should be common sense!

I’ve never once walked into my dentist's office and seen him fail to wash his hands or reuse old instruments... Honestly, I probably wouldn't even bother going there if he didn't follow those protocols!
Best swimming goggles? in Health ·
Pro tip: make sure they're anti-fog. You can grab a dedicated cleaning solution specifically for coating the inside of the lenses. Otherwise, if you're dealing with goggles, people usually just rub some spit on them and rinse in the ocean to stop the fogging. Not sure if that trick works for glasses, though.
Dealing with water retention in Health ·
My grandmother deals with this too. You can tell by how swollen her legs and ankles get. She takes potassium supplements, but she doesn't take them every single day—treatment plans vary wildly from one patient to the next. She mentions those pills really take it out of her, even though she only takes them every third day...

Do you drink tap water? in Health ·
Santa Monica - the water here is actually great. Still, I’ve become a creature of habit thanks to my Brita filter; I won't touch anything that isn't filtered now!
