I'd get the 4k Aliens for the new documentary, but I've heard the same things about the actual film transfer re de-graining. That's surprising to hear about True Lies, as I thought that was shot Super35 and would be sort of grain-free to start.

But that's okay, no more need be said on it. I see his supporters as a far greater problem than he could ever be on his own, and I suppose my stance is predicated on that.

I grew up amongst them, too. Which is what I'm getting at - 'Trumpism' predates Trump by decades. He's just the current avatar with the marketing savvy to cash in on it. His supporters are getting exactly what they want from him, and I have a hard time defining that as a con job.

Calling him a conman turns his supporters into victims, and at this stage that's no longer an acceptable explanation of events.

Politics And Current Events
I used to think Trump was a con man, too. But as time has gone on it has become clearer to me that it's hard to say he's conning anybody; he is exactly what they want. Showman? Certainly. Marketer? 100%. Entertainer? To many, yes. He is giving the audience what they want. A poor person's idea of a r...

Okay, so I popped through to the end. I've mentioned before that Disney Experiences (DX) operates such that their competition is not other parks and resorts. It is each guest's personal economics. (The example I like is "do we get our kid orthodontics this year, or go to WDW for a week?") That has b...

Reducing the price wasn't really an option. It had to operate on the super duper premium pricing if it was going to work at all, and there just wasn't the demand they expected. Reducing the price to a level that would've maintained 100% booking would've kept it in the red. Just to reiterate, it wou...

Maybe he'll keep appearing in burned slices of toast like the Virgin Mary.I’m looking forward to his death and his followers constantly having “sightings” proving that he’s not really dead.

Dan Abrams has also spent most of the last several months of his SXM show airtime saying these charges shouldn't have been filed and the trial will result in a hung jury on most or all charges.Dan Abrams says jail time is very very unlikely. Probation possibly but jail time highly unlikely.

NY state. He can't pardon himself.So what’s realistically going to happen? He goes on probation? He wins the election and immediately pardons himself? No chance he spends time in prison, right?

They're felony convictions, I don't think 'fines' are an option, but I guess we're in uncharted territory. I'm also not sure if you get first-time-offender deference if you're first time is 34 counts. Maybe a light sentence on the first count, and repeat offender status on the other 33. Who knows. T...

Simply restating your job description in calendar form isn't a year-end self eval. "* Attended [trade show] in June 2023" is useless. Everyone knows that, they saw the emails.

So, important to note
- The passenger died of heart attack (e.g. scurred to death);
- For most/nearly all of us the worst turbulence we've ever experienced would still be classed as 'moderate' and the aircraft altitude changed by less than 10' with any given bump.

Maybe. But considering every memorable song from Moana was solely from LMM (Where You Are, How Far I'll Go, You're Welcome, Shiny), my expectations are very low.

That's iirc at least the third mishap in the last year or so involving a -B just......... falling. The article says the aviator had serious injuries, I hope they're okay.
