This seems like an example of everyone being reasonable, and just not being able to come to an agreement. Ortega’s a rising big star, and she’s right to request a high salary, particularly if doing another Scream movie would mean turning down work where she would receive this kind of pay.

Perfect.

Probably more likely that the games both heavily feature gun violence, and Japan really, really doesn’t like guns.

So you know how in the US even a little sexuality gets a game an M rating? The same is true in Japan for any game that allows killing civillians. In Goldeneye you can kill scientists and in Jet Force Gemini you can kill the civillians.

Meh, not sketchy at all, actually. Yes wood has a much lower compressive strength vs reinforced concrete but sweet jebus look at all that wood they’re using. Also looks like they’ve thrown in some extra steel beams too? Should be just fine in the short-to-medium term

They just heat treated the bridge. It’s stronger now.

its crazy to think that the entire global financial system, the reason we aren’t living in recyclable space towers, the reason the oceans are cooking, the reason we haven’t cured many diseases, all of it can be summed up by ... people with money only care about making more money

Excellent article.

This just in, people with money only care about making more money

Always go around Louisiana if you’re driving. This is advice I have been given by a family friend who was a travelling salesman in the south. He said - for decades - “if you have to go to Louisiana, fly”.

The goofy thing about these little towns is that they’re often situated on highways that have a higher speed limit going into and out of town. This leads to a “step down” and “step up” speed limit transition. Extreme example would be 65 down to a 35 in 10mph increments. The police in these speed trap towns will…

The grid penalty is the ultimate insult after a defective track ruins your car and costs beaucoup Euros to fix.

At a basic level the whole point of investing is so the company can get started and grow further with the expectation that you’ll get a return at some point. GM’s profitable, what need is there for investors anymore? Phase out the stocks over time and let the company stand on it’s own now...at least that’s the cynic…

Who are these millions of normal middle class Americans who are indirectly invested in GM? The majority of equities are held by institutionals.  Your statement may have been true when many more were vested in pensions, but no more.  They are left to their own devices with IRAs and 401ks, and we know most Americans…

The duality of that Twitter handle...  I love it.

Wait a second, I thought that capitalism was supposed to make everything work optimally. Was that ... propaganda?

Even if I knew I could mop the floor with the Teamster boss I wouldn’t, I don’t want to end up on the back of a milk carton later.

Keeping the masses divided benefits ALL of the power-hungry industries and institutions. It’s been part of US culture since the 1800s. Foreign agents don’t need to do the job for them.

Alright, since you’ve given me a fun physics problem I’ll bite.
