re: Trying to wrap my head around the cost of flights to Asia
Posted by Atttaboy on 12/21/23 at 6:50 am
Check tickets to Asia from LA, SFO, & SEA and book that separately from OKC to the coast. You’ll find much cheaper fares.
I do the same thing from ATL to Europe. I check flights from NYC, BOS and MIA which are typically much cheaper Biz Class than ATL. ...

re: Anybody else think Disney Stock hits low 70's on Wed??
Posted by Atttaboy on 8/10/23 at 9:32 am
FYI - It looks like Iger just announced that they’ll be increasing prices on Disney+ again to be double the subscription price during the launch.
He’s got to know that he’ll lose subscribers, so he’s betting on being in the more profitable side of the supply/demand curve and hoping that their co...

The thing for Apple is that they’re in the media and entertainment space as a very small player at this point. Apple’s DNA is to be a major player in any market that they enter. Netflix, Amazon, all the legacy Hollywood studios, and even Google (YouTube) are eating their lunch.
If Apple wants to...

And they should divert part of the Miss River through Bayou Lafourche again and install some diversions from there; divert some through Lac Des Allemands and install some diversions south of Lake Salvador from there; and increase the flow through the Davis district version through Lake Cataouche. Th...

Worse than the woke part and purely from a financial perspective, Iger bet big on Disney+ and Chapick continued on that path. But, instead of charging a premium for their brand/content, they made the subscription price so low (to compete with the others) that all they did was chase subscribers.

Agreed on the grilled halved peaches. Can be with whatever meat/fish veggies you’re grilling. Can be with a salad or just as another side. ...

re: Why is ESPN laying off so many people?
Posted by Atttaboy on 7/1/23 at 5:06 pm
Disney is under major cost constraints due to the massive losses on Disney+.
They’ve announced massive cost cutting across all of the media business units, but are leaving the parks alone because they are profitable.
ESPN is still very profitable, but the model is changing rapidly. They are ...
re: Ever have a boss revoke a PTO day?
Posted by Atttaboy on 6/30/23 at 12:24 pm
I’ve never done that or had that happen to me.
The only times I’ve seen it done is when someone has an essential operational job and a coworker either is extremely I’ll and in the hospital, or a coworker has a death of a very close relative.
A boss deciding that they want the same day and re...

re: Southeast Tx vs North Tx
Posted by Atttaboy on 5/25/23 at 9:25 am
I’ll take North GA, upstate SC, Western NC & Easter TN combo for the win.
Four seasons, green hills/mtns, lakes, non-disgusting summers, etc.
Just check the weather even in ATL vs. Dallas, Houston and/or NOLA any day in the summer and it’s better about 95% of the time. ...
re: I just don’t see racism all over the place like the media wants me to believe
Posted by Atttaboy on 4/12/23 at 1:25 pm
The thing about Atlanta is that there’s a massive middle and upper-middle class black community here that lives, works, eats, entertains, etc., nearly identical to the same socioeconomic white community. And that really destroys the racist narrative to a large degree.
I go to places here where I...

re: Disney to layoff more than 7,000 staffers
Posted by Atttaboy on 3/27/23 at 1:31 pm
They went all in on Disney+ and are losing over $1B/Quarter just on that. The other entertainment and parks businesses are continuing in a profitable manner, but they chased subscriber growth in lieu of profitability to try to catch Netflix.
Once the interest rates started rising, investors star...
re: Most Cajun Last Names
Posted by Atttaboy on 3/13/23 at 11:30 pm
It’s been brought up about that section in the River Parishes with the Germans that came over in the mid-1700s. They mixed in and some of their names changed to sound more French.
Des Allemands is a good example, with lots of Dufrenes and Mathernes. ...
