I used to think Trump was a con man, too. But as time has gone on it has become clearer to me that it's hard to say he's conning anybody; he is exactly what they want. Showman? Certainly. Marketer? 100%. Entertainer? To many, yes. He is giving the audience what they want. A poor person's idea of a r...

Okay, so I popped through to the end. I've mentioned before that Disney Experiences (DX) operates such that their competition is not other parks and resorts. It is each guest's personal economics. (The example I like is "do we get our kid orthodontics this year, or go to WDW for a week?") That has b...

Reducing the price wasn't really an option. It had to operate on the super duper premium pricing if it was going to work at all, and there just wasn't the demand they expected. Reducing the price to a level that would've maintained 100% booking would've kept it in the red. Just to reiterate, it wou...

That's an enormous amount of money. Why, it's almost enough to pay his legal bills. Not his civil judgements or course.

I just found out that these are a thing: https://klipsch.imgix.net/product-images/Promedia-Heritage-21-Carousel-05.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&fillTransforms=1&fit=clip&q=80&w=2000 https://www.klipsch.com/products/promedia-heritage-2-1-multimedia-speaker-system I had the Klipsch Promedia THX 2.1 syst...

Top ten character name lol

I’m looking forward to his death and his followers constantly having “sightings” proving that he’s not really dead.

Maybe he'll keep appearing in burned slices of toast like the Virgin Mary.

Dan Abrams says jail time is very very unlikely. Probation possibly but jail time highly unlikely.

Dan Abrams has also spent most of the last several months of his SXM show airtime saying these charges shouldn't have been filed and the trial will result in a hung jury on most or all charges.

So what’s realistically going to happen? He goes on probation? He wins the election and immediately pardons himself? No chance he spends time in prison, right?

NY state. He can't pardon himself.

Sentencing hearing: July 11

GOP convention: July 15

They're felony convictions, I don't think 'fines' are an option, but I guess we're in uncharted territory. I'm also not sure if you get first-time-offender deference if you're first time is 34 counts. Maybe a light sentence on the first count, and repeat offender status on the other 33. Who knows. T...

I have a soft spot for that movie, similar to A League Of Their Own. But what are these deleted scenes of which you speak?

Simply restating your job description in calendar form isn't a year-end self eval. "* Attended [trade show] in June 2023" is useless. Everyone knows that, they saw the emails. That's what most everyone in her team did with their evals. "* Attended [trade show] in June 2023, made contact with [projec...

So, important to note

- The passenger died of heart attack (e.g. scurred to death);

- For most/nearly all of us the worst turbulence we've ever experienced would still be classed as 'moderate' and the aircraft altitude changed by less than 10' with any given bump.

Haha the post didn't embed the link initially, it was just like "Here's an itemized list of everything Biden has accomplished as President"......*error*

This whole discussion would be drastically different if he was just 10 yrs younger. But he isn't.

FWIW I hated the 1986 He-Man movie because it was such a laughable mess. It's just awful.

Oh that’s cool. If you do run into him, try to stay out of the splash zone.

Maybe. But considering every memorable song from Moana was solely from LMM (Where You Are, How Far I'll Go, You're Welcome, Shiny), my expectations are very low. It'll be like Frozen 2 where you go in expecting Let It Go and leave with Into the Unknown. Where You Are and Shiny were co-written. (Asi...

Mrs Tif - "Alright, team. It's time for your self evals. Please don't just send me bullet points of what you did this year."

Team - *bullet points of what they did this year*

Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are very bad characters. I didn't think he was available under the original license agreement with the JRRT estate

That's iirc at least the third mishap in the last year or so involving a -B just......... falling. The article says the aviator had serious injuries, I hope they're okay.

Titanic deaths (by year)

Metcalf is a year older in NFL Years and is already on his second contract, but they're only a couple months apart in calendar age. I think I saw Aiyuk is going into his 5th year option season, or SF has already picked up that option, which iirc is actually more expensive than Metcalf's salary next ...

There's something with his contract that makes a deal extremely unlikely before June 1. It's like a $10+mil cap savings difference for SEA.

Either (DK) Metcalf or Aiyuk would be awesome additions imo. Metcalf is an absolute unit but has bouts of brain fade. Aiyuk punches above his weight.
