Yeah, although the crummy job the Amazon delivery folks are doing in my area of NJ is making me avoid them in some cases. It’s substantially worse than the Post Office or UPS here. The drivers just do weird shit with the packages when you’re not home - they all invent their own method of hiding them around your…

It’s how the folks on the “movie” side of the house mark their territory. It’s like going into someone’s office and pissing in all the corners.

Didn’t Terry Jones save Monty Python’s Flying Circus from having the tapes wiped and reused by paying the BBC for replacement tapes and storing them in his house?

Because of the international profits, the movies make a TON more money than the TV shows. And everyone on the movie side seems to always want to prove that they’ve got the biggest . . . whatever. So this is going to happen, over and over, unless the movies end up in Batman and Robin territory and WB backs off. That’s…

Yup, and if it’s close enough that they matter, I think the threat of Bloomberg keeps them in line. If Sanders starts to walk away with it, he gets in anyway and likely hands the election to the Republicans, as long as they don’t nominate Cruz.

I know she does - but there’s been a small amount of (premature) talk in recent weeks about the superdelegates (especially the current office holders) starting to move to undecided or switching if Sanders does well enough. It’s unlikely to happen.

This is a warning to the Democratic superdelegates not to back Sanders.

I was staying in Manchester NH over Christmas, and drove up to Sugar Hill and Littleton NH, and there wasn’t a damn bit of snow on the ground. And it was well above freezing. Seemed completely wrong.

Glad to see winter showed up.

Cold War, basically.

AKA Supreme Leader Snoke?

That could lead to them getting uncomfortably flirty with each other over you if one of them decides that the “pretend we’re strangers” thing works for them. That could be worse.

I’m increasingly thinking that sort of training may be necessary.

So, basically, it’s a same-day shipping point, but rather than just using it as a logistical location, they’ll use it as a retail front to fuck local business one more time. And, if they start showing other products, will allow them to peel more business away from Best Buy, since consumers won’t have to go to someone…

Yup. When I’m feeling nice, I remind myself that without them, it’s impossible for people to have faith that the outcome isn’t pre-ordained. When I’m seeing it in action, I’m sometimes reminded of an old quote that Larry Ellison made about the software company CA - “Every ecosystem needs a bottom feeder”.

It won’t bomb financially, especially because of the international box office take.

In terms of actually being good, I still expect it to shit the bed.

Honestly, I’m surprised there hasn’t been more unrest. The rich, and their lickspittle media pundits, like to act like to act all outraged at the notion of the rich being taxed more and the lower classes being slightly resentful. Feelings are “class warfare”.

No, what happend to Flint is class warfare. And, as usual,…

It depends on where you are. As a kid in the 70s and 80s in Rhode Island, every school in my town had an RN. If they were absent, there wasn’t a substitute.

Where I now live in NJ, every school building has an RN. In addition to sick kids, the nurse handles health-related paperwork (documenting food allergiest, etc)…

Which was worse, Star Trek V or Nemesis? Discuss.

I want it. But I’d have to impose a period dress code on guests, and no music or TV made later than 1979. If you’re going to live it, live it.

That’s a really good idea - although small businesses will scream. Remember, FMLA is unpaid, but businesses with fewer than 50 employees don’t have to provide it to their employees. The ADA doesn’t apply to businesses with fewer than 15 employees. I would expect a system like this to have a similar carveout, meaning…
