Taco Bell is the only rewards program I know which lets you a completed order to your rewards account using its printed receipt, which is very convenient. Ever other program I know requires you to order through your app or scan in at the counter during checkout.

It’ll never be “The Liberal Hate Machine” - it can’t do that Rolling Coal trick.

1) It’s different than every other pickup truck on the road. It’s non-conformist, and it’s basically a big middle finger to mundanity and convention.

You described careers which were completely eliminated, but missed all the fields which still exist but were literally decimated or worse. Yes, typesetting literally went away, but my first job as a rookie desktop publisher (before any desktop software had version numbers) literally dismantled that print shop’s…

MAGA will claim the scientists made it happen just so that science wouldn’t be proven wrong.

The problem is that while we might easily absorb a 7% loss, the impact will be felt by small farms. 7% may well take out 30% of the smaller suppliers, and the last thing we need is for our entire food supply to come solely from three or four huge companies. We need a broad spectrum of suppliers  to maintain equilibrium…

Definitely read the original Foundation Trilogy, but as abbygirl47 says, be prepared for almost all the real action to take place off-stage: that’s just how Asimov works. The main reason the show was so drastically modified was that dramatizing a story which literally takes place over many centuries would require…

Just drop everything about Palpatine, The First Order and The Empire. Let Rey Skywalker become the next Mad Max (which is precisely what they should have done with Kenobi-in-hiding. I would have killed to see Kenobi take on outwitting / secretly manipulating the Hutt syndicate).

Pork, pure and simple. Huntsville Alabama was where the Saturn rockets was developed and built. When it came time to replace those large rockets with the SLS Booster, it was roadblocked within Congress unless the work would again be done in Alabama. This was when it was argued that re-fitting existing launch tech…

The idea that a guy worth ~$200 billion was working a crypto grift that would net him millions is kinda laughable.

Watching about three minutes of a televised professional cornhole competition just depresses the hell out of me.

Disney has maintained “The Vault” since the fifties - a pattern of pulling and re-releasing their movies and programs on a roughly decade-long schedule. I’m surprised they’re moving this fast on streamed material, but I’ve always expected it to disappear so that they can make a big deal about re-releasing it (kind of…

Hey Dave, “love of working” does not mean “love of working for you.”

Oh, I understand ALL of that. It’s just one hell of a screwed up job to sell the literal truth of it to people you are begging to pay for it. The smartest of investors understood it going in, but I guarantee you that the full scope of financial risks wasn’t in their elevator pitch, and most of them will have invested…

Must be quite the job, to manage expectations like that...

As if you don’t look silly enough using VR.

He was not handcuffed and appeared defiant, exiting the building with a raised fist.

A very long time ago, I remember enjoying a bad horror spoof where, in one scene, the hero escaped being cornered on a staircase by swinging out of reach using the boom mike. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the name.

Does his official valuation of twitter affect the tax burden of being its owner instead of just being an investor? (assuming he actually pays his taxes)

Storm trauma only takes a few minutes.
