Looks like as long as Pets.SE is moderated, it will be resigned to permanent beta.

@Spiderman Or like when Armageddon and Deep Impact came out.

JoshDM

May 21, 2015 16:06

Gotham is OK, but not as good as it should be. Many times it's, "Hey let me ask you a RIDDLE because I like RIDDLES I'm going to be THE RIDDLER" or "You walk like a PENGUIN let me call you PENGUIN" or "You can call me CAT because every scene I'm in, I'm walking all over the furniture and walls and fake-parkouring all over the place, and I like to drink milk from a dish because I'm weird".

JoshDM

May 21, 2015 16:04

I think people got all confused because the advertised premises of all three were so similar that no one watched any of them.

JoshDM

May 21, 2015 16:04

@Spiderman Threshold was released the same season as Invasion and Surface, each of which had a premiere episode involving aliens and ocean water. Threshold was about a government response team, Invasion was about aliens in a hurricane in the Florida Keys, and Surface was about some kid who captured a Loch Ness Monster or something. I never watched Invasion or Surface, so I am only going by what I recall from the commercials.

JoshDM

May 21, 2015 15:05

If you want a good modern, older Sci-Fi that no one has watched, watch "Threshold". It has Carla Gugino, Brent Spiner, and Peter Dinklage in starring roles against Lovecraftian science horrors.

JoshDM

I dropped Netflix because there was nothing on it I wanted to watch; I have to find a way to watch Daredevil because I have heard it's fantastic.

@Spiderman I harbor no ill will towards comic publishers; I've learned to follow comic book creators / writers over blindly seeking out characters.

JoshDM

May 20, 2015 14:39

@Spiderman is crap as a name, especially because it's owned by Marvel/Disney (rather, "Spider-Man"); "SpiderMatt" or "Spider-Matt", however...

JoshDM

Just make Matt (Gimmetherepz; really?) and me moderators; we'll clean up the tags.

JoshDM

Jan 5, 2015 22:01

@JohnCavan - can you unlock pets.stackexchange.com/questions/2740/… ? Matt's answer really legitimizes the question (which has been edited several times since the original complaint), and should be selected as the answer.

JoshDM

Sep 2, 2014 21:27

@Zaralynda it shoudn't be migrated to finance at all; the question is very specific, asking what factors should be considered when evaluating pet insurance. Very specific and relevant to pets and pet owners, and something that many pet owners are confronted with at every visit to their veterinarian.

JoshDM

Aug 31, 2014 22:09

A+, would read again.

JoshDM

Aug 29, 2014 18:12

Anyone want to revisit this for re-opening? I feel that the original question asks for what factors to look for, which is requesting guidelines on how to decide, as opposed to "which is the best" which is an opinion-based "choose for me" answer that would be closed in the manner in which it was: pets.stackexchange.com/questions/22/…

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.

JoshDM

And it's asked "straight" at this point.

JoshDM

Jun 18, 2014 21:04

If I posted it on any other day, it would never have been closed.

JoshDM

Jun 18, 2014 20:31

So... I don't see what the difference is between asking whether it's safe to give ice cubes to a dog and whether it's safe to feed hot dogs to a dog, warranting closure on one and not the other.

@Flyk - nice re-tagging of the question as "distribution", by-the-way.

100% irrelevant. Whatever this "Riches" incident he's referring to, it has nothing to do with missing episodes on DVD releases. – JoshDM Jan 13 '14 at 16:37 declined
irrelevant; as I pointed in the follow-up comment, out the poster is not referring to something that happened to both The Riches and The Tick. Whatever it is, he's confused. – JoshDM Feb 20 at 15:26 declined
has nothing to do with the question. – JoshDM 23 hours ago declined
not constructive – JoshDM Jan 2 '14 at 19:43 declined

@NapoleonWilson - I've rewritten my comment below DD's comment on the thread. Here is the history of my comments on his comment.

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:53

Why is this?

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:53

I've flagged it for irrelevance several times, and each time it is denied removal.

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:52

The comment is not relevant.

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:52

Investigation of The Riches reveals there were no episodes omitted from their DVD releases at all.

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:51

The comment refers to "a similar thing happening to the Riches due to the writer's strike".

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:51

The question refers to DVDs that have had episodes omitted from their release.

JoshDM

Mar 20, 2015 15:51

Hi. I keep flagging a certain comment for elimination, and it keeps getting denied. The comment is on movies.stackexchange.com/questions/10305/… and the comment is from DustinDavis.

I've updated the answer I gave my own question with the Warranty Extension info, but seriously... 100% coincidence. I was just showing the dash to a mechanic friend of mine this evening, got home and saw the notice from Toyota in the mail. Thought I'd throw it out as it'd be another advertisement from the local Toyota, but I opened it instead. WHAM. Warranty extension specific to dashboards.

JoshDM

I really don't know the chances of that.

JoshDM

and then exactly 2 days later?

JoshDM
