| | Had a wonderful Father's Day, mostly because it was also my son's birthday:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1345483
My son had booked theatre tickets for us to the Top Gun, Maverick movie
at a very unique theatre, with a fabulous dinner and libations served before
and during the showing. Not bad 
We also visited the Oregon coast (razor clam season) and other wondrous places
up here. It was a good-to-be-alive type of time
Hope you got your Father's day gifts in time.
Bless you Dads. Stay strong!
|
Happy belated birthday to your son.
And a happy belated Father’s Day to you Cory.

| | Yeah,
I WILL NOT SPOIL IT. I watched it on the weekend and it was great. Back when
the first one came out it was epic (for its time). Now I've watched them
both and they are both awesome. I loved the effort and the whole movie.
The storyline was great and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about watching
it.
What do you guys think of it?
What are your thoughts on the movie?

Excellent movie! In many ways better than the original.
I saw it in an IMAX theatre, and subconsciously picked seat F-18.
10/10 would definitely recommend.
I’ve built a very nice LEGO F-14 with working swing wings, I’m now looking for
a nice F-18 MOC to build.

within the forum? Or perhaps you are actually clueless as to what the term means?
I doubt it and believe it's the former, human cancer.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers
to something that cannot be anticipated in advance. So, from Nubs_Select's
perspective, this email appears random. They cannot even predict if it will be
in English or in French!

| | "random email from PayPal?"
In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision) from PayPal?
Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?
The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do
|
Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).
Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

ago from today: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/about.page
I've only been using the site for about eight years or so now, but even in
that time BrickLink has gone through some incredible changes, transforming to
better serve the needs of the LEGO community. I can only imagine what the next
22 years will bring.
For context, here are some statistics: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1304
The charts only go through 2013, but I don't need to see the rest to know
that BrickLink is a thriving marketplace.
Play Well!
P.S. Today is also Juneteenth and Father's Day in the U.S.

And today is my 21st anniversary of my BrickLink account! It can legally drink
now!
