You’re in the good ole days.

Again. The point of streaming services is not to cut cost.
It’s to provide contract free entertainment at a lower price point.
The issue with comcast and dish was that they locked you into a 24 mo the contract and then shoved dick pill commercials down your throat. AND your content was limited and shitty.
You know what I get to watch on demand without commercials.
Lucky
Mad men
Curb
Ted lasso
Shrinking
Breaking bad
Succession
Seinfeld
Tires
The Town
Sicario
Moneyball
All for like….$50? And I can cancel whenever I want.
It’s not even close if you actually do like TV and movies. The real issue is that a lot of you don’t so you’d rather the ease of cable. And here’s something. You can still do that.
Just fricking get YouTube TV.
Edit - I don’t know what the field of dreams game is. Never heard of it.

I don't think it's outlandish to think that programming has a slant. Especially one as prolific as Paw Patrol.
It's why the barrier of entry for for independent creators to create shows and get an audience has been so important.
All of the people I watch are DIYers on youtube and runners. Not much of a slant besides product placement.

re: Who here still thinks AI is garbage and worthless and won't take jobs?

The spread of AI as money saving measures is almost entirely propagated by senior leadership who sell and don’t actually have technical skills.
Please. Replace everyone with AI. Your business will die.
AI told me that my sisters German shepherd was a border collie.
It needs to get waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better. Like it needs to be about 10x as good as it is right now for anyone to be confident in it as a subject matter expert.

We are going to look back at the flood of AI slop marketing materials and cringe.
I purposely go out of my way to avoid anything that is immediately identifiable as AI. It shows me that whoever is putting together the event or idea doesn't care about presentation. What else do they not care about?
I'm not saying don't use AI to generate. I'm saying once you have prompted a few times and have something unique, at the very least go trace it in illustrator to make a proper vector.

It won't be permanent DST. It will be permanent standard time, which makes way more sense.

I wish I could be as detached as the majority of people who inhabit that coach to broadcaster pipeline.
I have no idea with him what is an act and what isn't. Is it all an act? Is he a completely different person in front of his wife and kids and nobody else gets to see it?
In some ways I respect it. It's 100% business and the opinions of others don't seem to get to him in the way that makes him question his self-worth. You seem it eat some coaches alive, but then there's guys like him. He truly does not give a shite.

re: Man was struck by lightning while filming a storm on a golf course

Getting struck by lightning is common enough that standing in a storm is a dumb idea.
Will you get struck? Very unlikely. Is whatever you’re gaining from not finding cover worth getting struck? Not a chance.

After relocating and actually looking at some of these places, investigating the day to day life you realize quickly that these lists are a joke.
re: People who say "do what now"
Posted by Odysseus32 on 8/9/26 at 12:47 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
I use the everlasting "what"
I used to say "sir" or "maam"
But that is fricking weird to anyone not in the South. Tryna train folks around here as well. Just say "huh" or "what"
Typically the only people that care have a stick up their arse.

re: Do you think the process to getting a driver’s license in the US is too easily attained?

There already is, by bus. And it'll take 13 hours (315ish miles). Similar to routes in Europe (Frankfurt to Wroclaw in Western Poland; 9 hours by train, 10 hours by bus. (450 miles)
My opinion (and I know that it's extreme) is that we should have a national high speed rail system that spans the country and connects at each city over 100k. Metro areas can have their own system that connects municipalities if they are large enough and have the funds.
Yes, it would be extremely difficult and costly. There are land rights, naturally occurring obstacles, existing industries that would be affected, and many other factors that would make it difficult. But it would pay handsomely in the long run
It's only ridiculous because we don't currently have it. If we had a high speed rail system instead of the interstate and someone proposed that we dismantle the rail system and build paved asphalt all across the country so that everyone could drive individually it would also sound absurd. Also fricking idiotic.

Way way waaaaayyyyyy too easy.
The amount of people qualified to operate a motor vehicle should be cut by about 80% and then our infrastructure should be reshaped to fit that operating model.
It'll be pain for a couple decades but our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren would thank us in the long run.
It's so wild to me that we accept the risk of death that's almost entirely optional. Yes, the US is big. There should be an option to get to Austin from Houston via bullet train. And then Austin to San Angelo. And then San Angelo to Midland.
It's not inconceivable. It's that people in this country are fat and lazy and don't want to be bothered and inconvenienced by the amount of change that would require even if it meant that their descendants would have happier lives.

You're getting downvoted, but this is the truth.
Contracting a shitty job. For one, you deal with a ton of folks, many of whom are in trades because they literally can't do anything else. Then you deal with homeowners who think their project deserves attention even if it's bringing in 2% of the revenue for that month.
Two, you're a contractor. I'd imagine it's like telling people you're an auditor (believe me, I know personally here) or a car salesman. It doesn't strike up positive imagery.
Three, there aren't enough contractors. Meaning they get to dictate their time and when they show up. OP, honestly, your project is likely unimportant. You may need to pay more for a contractor who has stellar reviews and smaller client base. If you can afford that sort of thing.
