tifosi77's thread of Musk
A quick google search says the average IQ for a pilot is around 120. That's not all that special. I mean, I tested at 124 in high school, and I'm hardly a genius.

Earlier today Christie called NH Gov. Sununu a liar because Sununu said he heard Christie was dropping out. A few hours later, Christie drops out.
It's such a shame that being a lying POS is a prerequisite to be a politician in the US.

We had far more snow today than over the weekend. I was going to shovel this afternoon and it felt like I was shoveling cement. Now it's supposed to get below freezing tonight, and stay near freezing/far below freezing for the next 10 days. No idea how or when I'll get my driveway cleaned out. Hopef...
RIP
So sorry for your loss.

tifosi77's thread of Musk
Did anyone hate Musk before he became a wannabe Trump/covid denier pandering to the fringe right? I thought he was universally loved until that happened.
Funny how coming across as/revealing yourself to be a lunatic asshat can turn the tide against a guy.

I thought it was terribly written and a complete waste of time.Any one see Leave the World Behind. My parents watched over the weekend. Said it was strange, just seeing the US attacked in cyberspace and how much that distrupts our world today. I may give it a shot.

For points east I just take Rt. 30 or I-68. I've taken Lancaster to Philly on 30 before and that sucks. So much stopping near fast food and strip malls. If I have to ever drive there again I'll gladly pay to take the turnpike. I tried to take 30 from Somerset to Philly once. Torturous doesn't even ...

I love my Apple TV. The video quality is so much better than the Fire TV I was using before. I sold off all of my DVDs, around 1500, last year. Kept the blu rays and still keep buying more of them and 4Ks. Streaming is fine, but as someone who rewatches movies a lot, I like to own them rather than d...

My spazzy dog who is terrified of loud noises decided he had to go outside at 11:59. I didn't even realize what time it was so I let him out, then I too went to take a leak. As soon as I started going, someone must have shot a block of tannerite. The boom was so loud my house shook. I'm surprised my...

Don't forget that HBO (or Max) has been removing some HBO original content and farming it out to other services/ad supported streamers. They shipped Westworld off just a couple weeks after the series finale aired.Doesn't that include CNN and Discovery? I don't want those.

Streaming companies (aside from Netflix) lose billions in 2023. It's almost like fracturing the streaming market and every studio trying to have their own streaming service was a bad idea. Who would have thunk it... The world’s largest traditional entertainment companies face a reckoning in 2024 aft...

Yeah, I won't be surprised if the streamer make ad free programming prohibitively expensive in the coming years. Just like traditional TV, the ads are there the money is at.

Looks like Prime is going to add commercials/ads to their programming. Or you can pay $3 a month for an "ad free experience."

I received The Goonies on 4K for Christmas and gave it a watch for the first time in probably 35 years. Man, I must have watched the hell out of that movie when I was a kid because I remembered every single thing that happened and probably 50% of the dialogue. I had mixed feelings about it watching ...

Just found out a friend of mine tested positive for COVID today. She was at my house for about 30 min Weds. Andy idea how long I reasonably need to wait before I'll know whether or not I'm in the clear.

I subscribe to Netflix (for a few more days), Paramount+, Max, Hulu, and Shudder. Maybe something else that I'm forgetting too. Yet, 80% of the time, when I look for a specific "catalog" movie, it's not available on any of those services and is usually only available to rent. Blows my mind.

i actually wouldn't argue that the highest law position in the land should get some more cash. 300K in DC isn't a lot. It's not nothing, but still. Our county judges in Mercer County get like 150+ I think The POTUS gets $400K. I know it's not huge money for a lawyer, but I don't buy that it's not e...

This doesn't do anything. Unfortunately, what it does is feed directly into the Republican/Fox News/far right propaganda that the courts are crooked and the Democrats are stealing elections.
