That’s a utility for a rarely used format. Red herring.

He’ll be a great *contrast* to whomever they pick for Aladdin and Jasmine. Fingers crossed you get the part, scarjo!

I would say the position has evolved. My new Trump inspired position is, “Why should my tax dollars go to helping these failures out? Raise your own damn funds and fix your own damn community.”

I would love to see the rails nationalized, if you want to see that type of investment. Private operate can lease time on the rail and we’ll manage the infrastructure.

Correct! Electrified standard rail is vastly more efficient. Plus, hyperloop is stupid for that too - in order to keep speeds up to realize travel time benefits you have to treat everywhere not in a major city as hyperloop over country. That means no stations. That means out can drop off cargo.

So? Rebuild it.

Every render I have seen is a single pod. Some are bigger, but not enough to challenge air or train.

The other thing no wants to talk about is capacity to actually move people and logistics. The fantasy is being able to walk up to an empty hyperloop palace, step into a pod, and get out in SF or LA 30 minutes later.

Olive garden is a perfect metaphor for the relationship most Americans have with their heritage. Mediocre echos produced by a corporation that so many love without any understanding of what it really is, all the while claiming to be authentic.

Spicy is a cautionary tale. It shows you can be a complete sell out, do everything in your power to kiss ass, and still end up on Trump’s shit list. I mean, you would feel sorry for the guy being denied the chance to meet his religious leaders (Da Pope) by a spiteful small Trump if it wasn’t for the fact that he was a…

You are aware there is a trope about Swedes being slutty, right? In other words, it is of the same kind of joke as having a character called long duk dong.

Yup. Fucking ruined the movie.

Sure, but it is literally the worst thing in the movie. A fun, romp and then.... “DO U LIEK BUTTSECKS???!!!?!!!??!1?!1?!!!!??2!!4 NNNNNM??!!????”

Thank you. I enjoyed the first movie right up until the anal sex thing. It was just insulting. Basically, if you just took out all the lines by the “swedish” princess, I would be a fan of the series.

“McDonald’s Tests Food-Ordering Kiosks Customers”, August 16, 1999. Computerworld.

A comment for anyone about to blame this on minimum wage increases: Customer performed order entry has been the fast food industry dream for decades and has been “in the works” since the 1980s. There is a Computerworld article from 1998 that discusses how kiosk ordering was finally right around the corner and…

Disneyland isn’t a museum. It is an amusement park and wench auctions aren’t amusing anymore. It was never a historically accurate ride and it never was supposed to leave you feeling somber at the end. It, along with all of Disney, is a romantic fantasy not a historically accurate recreation.

Pirates isn’t intended to be a historically accurate ride. You’re just wrong. It was, and is, an adventure fantasy. It has always intended to be fun. Always. It has always intended to be a family friendly ride. Always. Disneyland is not a museum.

“I would love to sit down and have an open conversation...”

Look, my friend said that a North Korea arms dealer was in town and could hook me up. I said If it is what you say it is, I love it and pushed to meet them ASAP, but when they got in the room they didn’t deliver! I am so very innocent of arms dealing because the deal I tried to put together fell through! A waste of my…
