30 minutes is too much of advertise except those drive-ins open air theaters.
Generally for multiplex(s) its max 15 minutes of adverts are there and even in that they shows 2-3 movie trailers which is even more interesting.
You should change the cinema if you got other options.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

what really p*ssed me off the 2nd last time I went to a cinema, is, they didnt turn all the lights off - the aisle lighting was so distracting it was a waste of time - whereas driving to an 'older' cinema last week to see Rogue One, I had time for a glass of red in the bar before the movie, and its a good old fashioned cinema

But was that before the published start time? Theaters here do that all the time. For people who show up early they have something to show instead of a blank screen. No big deal.

Yep show start time on ticket was 3:30 pm and I have to endure adverts till 4:00 pm before actual movie began.

Ya, that is excessive, unless it is a discount theater.

Somehow I have spent most of the weekend (including the free day on friday) with drawing schematics, soldering and programming,
The last picture I have of my old computer was from before i finished highschool. Time for a new one.[^]
The old notebook to the left runs a terminal emulation and is connected to the old computer over RS232. It also is used to program EPROMs. That board nect to the mouse is the EPROM programmer, which I repaired and got to work again this weekend. The old notebook is also used to sample the cassete tapes and convert the WAV files to binaries with a program I have written.
The Elf is running the first program I ever bought and still use. It's a debugger and on the screen you can see the current state of the processor's registers. The hardware, including the monitor, is from 1978 - 1980 and came as a kit (except for the monitor).
The keyboards are old and worn, so they are not a pleasure to use anymore. That's why i want to build a more modern version of the old computer. Ok, I admit it. I do it because it's fun to solder together a computer and get it to work. Anyway, before I have expensive boards made, I first build a prototype and test the stuff... on the old computer.
To begin with, here's[^] a little more memory and a ROM for the little operating system I'm working on. I'm sure I once swore never to build a memory prototype on perfboard again because of the wiring, but I probably never learn and did it again. Tomorrow I will install it and can then work on the OS.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

They used to have less advertising. It's probably better to look for another place to upload pictures in the future.

I had the same thing happen way back when in the days of the NNTP newsgroups (back in the mid/late 90's). I ended up doing a 2 month contract out of it, a well paid, fun little VB5 job.
Cheers,
Mick

Ah come on, in the days of VB5 there was not a lot of alternatives. No no no not turbo pascal!

Turbo Pascal (for CP/M no less) got me into PC programming, and earned me the "Outlaw Programmer" moniker I use today. It also got me my first PC programming job.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
