And for such a short flight it’s barely worth it.  Not enough time for real sleep.

I guess I don’t get the histeria around this one. So many people threatening to never go back to YouTube like that matters at all to Google. They are only losing money by continuing to serve people that block the ads. YouTube is astronomically expensive to run, where else are they going to get the revenue to justify…

MLK’s point was that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed that led to the riots. Focusing on the riots is like treating the symptoms of a disease instead of the disease itself, it doesn’t fix things permanently. He didn’t agree with rioting, but understood where it came from and sought to fix the…

The attorney general of Minnesota, one Keith Ellison, could have cut this all off at the knees anytime today, yesterday, or the day before, by simply arresting the officers. He hasn’t and won’t.

They’ve got a fundamental disconnect with reality... At one point, I suppose people went to the theater and then decided what they were going to see based on what was available.

An industry that is not necessary doesn’t need protection from the content manufacturer. Movie theaters are middle-men leftover from when the production houses needed someone to get their content to the viewer. I imagine theaters will live on for people that want that experience, but the production companies could…

This is the exact reason I don’t like going to the theater.  Somebody kicking my seat, crinkling plastic and loud munching on popcorn, sticky floors from jerks dumping their soda out, people talking, coughing, laughing annoyingly, the cellphone checker every 10 seconds, etc, etc.  I resisted going to the theater to…

What is “communal” about sitting in the dark with strangers and not interacting with them at all? Unless you count the communal pleasures of having a bright cell phone shine in your face or hearing a six-year-old cry because his parents brought him to a horror movie rather than getting a babysitter, being in a theater…

Movie theaters need to get much more creative with their offerings.  I know it wont be easy, but they need to figure it the hell out.  First, no one needs the 30-40 screen mega-plex anymore.  Second, they MUST license out huge events.  That final season of GOT?  Wouldnt that have been amazing to have theaters work…

It’s not like Amazon has just been sitting on these things and withholding them. No one has had sufficient PPE. We know this and we’ve implicitly accepted it by leaving many “essential” businesses open and buying from them. Every worker in a store, or a warehouse serving that store, is in the same situation and it’s…

You all had months to react and didn’t. Cities in China were under lockdown in November and there was plenty of Western news broadcasts talking about how dire the situation there had become.

Not on board.

My hunch is that the CDC is only not recommending it because they know that we don’t have enough for even the hospitals right now. But by and large, Asian countries and even some European countries are seeing that widespread mask adoption by the public has helped slow transmission. Masks catch the droplets expelled by…

This is one of the most irresponsible opinion articles I’ve read so far (outside of articles and so-called news “reporting”from conservative sources that don’t consider science). This author is a self-proclaimed “science” writer, but what is her actual background? I very much appreciate the video produced by a medical…

Sounds to me like the perfect opportunity for restaurants to stop treating GrubHub and DoorDash like “the problem.” 

Unpopular perspective here..

Have you ACTUALLY LOOKED at the WCAG? There is an overwhelming amount of vague or poorly-defined standards with no metrics whatsoever.

Oooooooookay, here goes:

> If you resolve the problem at the end of your series, then backsliding and saying that the world just went to hell again undercuts your original ending and can harm your whole series.

The real idea is to utilse the money raised to fund third world/developing nations onto a sustainable path (not give them money, but send workers and tech there to build it, think jobs) while at the same time building out new, public funded (from the carbon tax) power infra and carbon sequestering projects.
