HBO took their damned sweet time announcing its renewal, and certainly didn’t do it any favors with publicity.

Not unethical to list it high, no.  But to add markups based upon who is buying, yes, and in the case of housing potentially illegal.

Unlike Deus, I want to see more of this movie. That trailer did its job.

Just over two decades ago, I toured a USN minesweeper during a public relations event. They mentioned that they were STILL finding sea mines in the Mediterranean, and only about half of the sea mines that were laid were ever recovered. That’s a pretty sobering statistic, considering how many hundreds of…

Well, flour can explode.  Dramatically.  That tends to make people sit up and take notice.

Ravenswood’s comment was my first thought as well, I admit, but that doesn’t take away from the excellence and research that went into the article, and it more than stands on its own. If you’re referencing Magary’s 8/2/22 article, though, you should be aware that it’s the third in his series, which began in May. It’s…

It seems odd to me when businesses find they have too many customers, and complain about that state of affairs.

Order books are currently insane, though. I don’t see a serious recession—maybe a slackening—because everyone is STILL working through enormous backlogs.  I’ve been talking to vendors whose backlogs are 2X what they previously were.

The Best of Both Worlds Parts I and II spanned an entire summer (and a bit more). They knew they’d be coming back, but very much left us hanging, with a Borgified Patrick Stewart staring back at us from the viewscreen, telling us Resistance is Futile.

Yeah, no. That’s the lowest common denominator of meatball sandwiches, to the point that I’d rather have a pre-made salad from my local grocery store. But if that’s the way your tastes run, go for it, my dude. :-)

Two NYC (Atomix, Le Bernardin), one California (SingleThread).

On a related note, I had two nearly-complete loaves of bread mold over the course of 4 days, when they usually last 2-3 weeks. Ugh.

Just wait. XD

I agree with you. I’m always thinking of ways to get to that point before someone gets killed, and that includes the shooter. Stepping down the levels of danger and tension is what negotiation is about, and I wonder what about the situation changed at 4:30am.

At what point does he no longer become a danger?

Please leave my timeline.

Thanks, that’s what I was about to ask. Show me the bottom line, not the top line.

You may be astonished to find out how much higher wage theft is than shoplifiting. I’ll save you some Googling: it’s an order of magnitude higher. And there’s plenty of employee theft to compete with shoplifting shrinkage, even beyond that, but I’m guessing that you already know that.
