Welcome to Thunderdome

Me and the kid watched it again, doing our part to get the numbers up. Second time around, I was able to look at the cinematography more, since I wasn't riveted by the story. There are a couple of absolutely brilliant technical film scenes. Hard to describe without being able to talk with my hands. ...

It was ok. I'd say a little more enjoyable than most of the rom/com/action/whatever movies I've seen the last few years. But not life changing.

Well shit, might as well be pro wrestling if that kind of officiating was tolerated.

"Well nowhere in the books does it say Hermione ISN'T black ".

Kid and I have a matinee bought for tomorrow.

Doing what we can to support the movie. We want a sequel.

There must be some clause somewhere that teams are guaranteed fair officiating. I'm surprised the MLB didn't get sued by a team after the 3rd obviously bad call.

So what are they doing, taking 50 resumes, copy/pasting them into a google ai window, and saying "give me the best ones?" I assumed there was some app wrapped around that process that some company was selling.

I have a lot of respect for Henry Cavil saying "Fuck this" when the show writers fucked up the Witcher story.

Well.......... I mean, what do you think the AI is that is screening their resumes, in bulk?

Just finished Shogun. My kid informed me that season 2 has already been greenlit, in spite of the book ending right where season 1 ended, and there was no sequel to the book. Not a half hour I told him that if there is one universal truth, it's that TV screenwriters think they are better and more ta...

If he had a track record for being shitty, why was he allowed to continue?

In a union?

He helped ticket sales?

He bribed congress?

HR people are using a packaged program to filter resumes. The company that makes that software has already seen that post, and fixed it, and they'll advertised their product as "new and improved."

Which... now everyone will do, and that kind of thing will be filtered out.

"Hey internet, I found a brand new secret fishing hole! Here's the GPS coordinates! Like and subscribe!"

Here's today's batch. In the marinade. I let it sit overnight. PXL_20240528_170557114.MP.jpg Wet, pre-cooking. PXL_20240528_171002295.MP.jpg All done and delicious. PXL_20240528_211449962.MP.jpg I kind of figured out a pro-tip, today. I put the meat on the tray, and had a bunch of marinade to dump. ...

A few years ago, Google's main source of income was ad revenue.

I wonder what it'll take to stop the damage that cause. Probably nothing.

but the savings would be lost with out-of-state-student fees. Look into scholarships. It's amazing how many are out there. Very much. My kid is getting $5k per year from the Marine Corps Foundation, for example...... which required more work in the application that the college application, itself. ...

Protection from ice storms and tornados.

Vulnerable to every yahoo with a back hoe or auger....

That being said, a person will only dig into a high tension line, once.

My kid is always talking about transferring out to somewhere cheaper. I nudged him to Miami, gently. I wanted him to have a taste of.......... being surrounded by a higher standard of living than he grew up with. Surrounded by rich kids, not half-ass farmers with chickens and making homemade jerky. ...

Seriously, too many people think "you can be whatever you want to be" is still true if you don't have other sources of funding. My kid has become very fiscally conservative... he hates spending money. He's chosen his higher education based on what has the highest return for his education-d...

New Deal reforms, it shook up the system for a while until the loopholes were closed?
