Martin Starr (Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley) was also one of the arrowed dudes on Euron's ship.

That reminds me of the torture scene in Casino Royale. <cringe>

They hate sand.

Sorry to hear that, but glad she’s on the mend. It’s tough watching our kids in pain.

There tends to be a little Stockholm Syndrome with senior administrative assistants, the further up the chain they are. They really are true believers from working directly with the decision makers in an organization.

Kang has been crap so far this year.

SUPER WEIRD that he's not hitting home runs on a daily basis. Or hitting at all, with a .121 average: 4 hits, 12 strikeouts in 33 at bats.

What do you think is wrong with his swing?

He's drunk; duh.

I thought it, you posted it.

Excellent.

Wonder if they will offer just a Disney+, ESPN+ package.

They hinted at a package deal that would also include Hulu. No details yet.

Perpetual conservative outrage machine fodder

We dabbled in things like PlayStation Vue and Spectrum’s streaming TV service, but found the quality lacking. Missing channels, buffering (when there shouldn’t be with 100mbps service), and so on. So we use my parents’ Xfinity login for most things live (which is rare these days), my brother has HBO...

The new Star Wars game is not using Frostbite, which is a problematic (but beautiful) game engine. A very sad article about how difficult it is to use/debug and all of the problems it caused in Anthem’s development. So I guess that’s good news.

It also includes all of the Simpsons episodes...if I read that correctly.

I wonder if that means old Brooklyn 99 and other FX/Fox programming?

And Disney also owns National Geographic TV and Films...so Cosmos, Free Solo, etc. will be on there. And a new science show with Jeff Goldblum...

Ok, after 2 hours of corporate speak:

Disney+ launches November 12 in the United States
$6.99 per month, $69.99 per year.
The Mandalorian will be available at launch.

That's very competitive pricing...I figured $10 at least per month.

It will be a rushed, buggy, disappointing mess like most recent EA titles.

What does communism have to do...oh nevermind.

I mentioned an article about a father-son trip before you "lose" your kid to the teenage years: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/par ... a440a358ed

Pretty good read.

You might want to see if some of your cars can be rented to film production companies in Pittsburgh. That might be a good way to fund your classic car habit.

There can't be many '61 Corvettes in Western PA.

The Senate on Thursday voted to confirm David Bernhardt, a former lobbyist for the oil and agribusiness industries, as secretary of the interior. The confirmation of Mr. Bernhardt to his new post coincided with calls from more than a dozen Democrats and government watchdogs for formal investigation...

Gorgeous. That will turn heads, no doubt.

I read an article about a "last trip" with your kid before they go off to high school. For me, that would be next summer.

My son loves history, like his old man, so Gettysburg might be one place to start. Maybe up to NYC for shenanigans too.

I need to get the fam up to Gettysburg...

Well, it was mostly for @tifosi77
