I’m more cynical than that. I think he did it to try and make sure that neither side boycotts the movie. It was all about maximizing profits.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c09642 Looking though the actual paper, the authors attempt to account/control for that. They at least highlight the shelter-in-place period but probably are more limited to quantify the increase in work-from-home. 

I was going to ask WTF is Andy Ngo, but I guess I can look that up myself.

We are still at the pre-IND phase on that program, mercifully.  Which is where it SHOULD stay until an actual path forward emerges.  But it definitely won’t.

And “goofus maloofus”...good one.

Sounds like Asimov’s Nightfall.

Look, using one of these fancy buses for “camping” is something that I just don’t get. You need a mobile living platform for a spell, I get it—actor on location—but camping?

Mechanical failures requiring a pilot to declare an emergency are incredibly rare.somewhere around 1/100,000 flights.

I’ve heard this eyeball-roller more than once: owners told me how they “baby” their ride by putting premium gas in the tank instead of the correct regular grade. The whole idea of premium grade for higher compression engines to prevent knocking was beyond them—”babying” was all they knew.

But not being able to pay one’s bills is not an indication of one’s driving ability nor ability to not crash one’s car. So my insureance bill shouldn’t be higher because I’m poor.

WTF was my response as well. The movie seemed to have a pretty definite end. Loved the first one!

Honestly, after how bad WW2 was (and no disrespect to the talented performers) no one is asking for WW3.

‘All I can say is that I hope that this beloved entertainment industry fixture isn’t bought by some craven corporate raider type that hollows it out and ruins the magic for everybody.’     It feels like you’re talking about what’s happening over at The AV Club without talking about what’s happening at The AV Club.   

A week tops at best. 

Nah. This was going to be my suggestion depending upon commute.

Plus these are Federal charges where he has to serve a min of 85% of the sentence. His best case is that he’ll ONLY be in there 21 years.
