Reply to When you see an actor who seems familiar, do you feel like you need to KNOW who he played before? by fabrizziop17
My wife does this and it is absolutely maddening. If the movie is 90 minutes, it will end up taking us at least 2 hours to get through. Pausing any time a new character comes on screen. I kid you not, we've paused movies more than a dozen times. She is much more interested in figuring out what she had seen that actor in previously than actually watching the movie. Oh and age! 'how old do you think so & so actor is?' "I don't care, I'm trying to watch a movie" Then she ends up literally 'losing the plot' and complains she doesn't know what's going on. She often gives me the 'oh I wanted to watch that with you. why did you watch it?'
Because watching anything with her destroys appreciating dialog, character relation, scene setting, tempo, direction etc. etc. It's maddening.

I got the alert on my pixel about 5 seconds before I felt it in Oakland. Wasn't a big jolt. More of a gentle swaying for almost 30 seconds.

I just got one of these a month ago for my trip to Kenya. Worked great for recharging mine, wife and friends phones. Didn't get hot at all. Any reco's for replacement? 2 x USB-C ports a must have.
