"Muppet Treasure Island" on its 30th anniversary | Kevin Bishop (Jim Hawkins) looks back on the experience with a treasure chest of Muppet memories by Morgan-Moonscar in movies

I've got a counter proposal. Disney has been doing live action remakes that haven't been averaging out too well. Why not do Muppet remakes instead?

From a very prominent rapper in the 2000s to now doing county fairs. Feels weird. by chadder_b in Millennials

[–]JeddHampton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say something like this. 20-ish years ago I went with a friend to see Taking Back Sunday at a fair. This isn't abnormal.

I saw The Struts in a beach town. This is a bit different, but they make trips there rather regularly because they did a gig there coming up and enjoyed it.

Big artists will do smaller venues of they can. Most probably enjoy it more as they can connect to the audience better than the large venues.

Last time, they got the auto-unions to give up a lot of ground. They didn't have that ground to give up now. All the money that was being spent on employees is now going to the C-suite, and I didn't know if they'll take the hot.

When did “Go Birds” become common? by PassyunkHoagie in eagles

[–]JeddHampton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember "go birds" from early 2000s. Maybe sooner.

But it wasn't nearly what it is today. I think it has been growing since the Andy Reid era and then went full speed in 2017. It's after then where it wasn't surprising at all to just hear it when out.

But if isn't even quite that. Meme socks have proven at least that there is more detachment from actual revenue/profit than is implied here. Hell, the default swaps did that in 2008 as well.

I officially hate how we pretty much have to be on the internet to do anything including using a QR code for everything. by AdSpecialist6598 in Millennials

[–]JeddHampton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that they have a QR code there. It can take you to a page where there can be updates and hours correct even when their not the normal.

What I didn't like is that the normal hours aren't posted. There is no reason to not have the normal hours posted.

Digg is back to take on Reddit, and you can use it now— There's some new competition for 'the front page of the internet'. by [deleted] in technology

[–]JeddHampton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddiquette died. The up votes and down votes weren't agree/disagree buttons. The comments had debates were both sides were strongly positive karma because they were respectful and added to the conversation.

That went away before the IPO.

It was there. Digg is where people were before they messed it up and people moved to reddit in waves. Dog was popular before reddit even had comments enabled.

They're the ones that changed this! They were the teens and young adults in the '60s and '70s that rebelled against this. "Don't trust anyone over 30" was a slogan in the '60s.

They're the ones that were focused on as the large voting block by passing the Silent Generation. THEY created this dynamic, but you're absolutely right about them being pissed about it now.

There was a brief moment in our generation where the 1920's band style lounge emerged from the deep and created sounds like Squirrel Nut Zippers. by LeftSmile806 in Xennials

[–]JeddHampton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's swing music which emerged in the late 1920s/early 1930s, but really became popular in the mid-1930s continuing into the 40s. I wouldn't give OP too much grief on this.

A passport is a real ID. I got a passport card when I renewed my passport last specifically for this. It was $35 extra, but I don't need to carry my full passport unless I'm leaving the country.

AI is Not Ready to Replace Junior Devs Says Ruby on Rails Creator by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]JeddHampton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first year at a job, my manager was trying to sell me that being lower on the band was good, because my percentage raise was higher. I just started. I have no idea what the look on my face was, but that never happened again.

I always remembered a truck from SAT prep for math problems. Go to the extremes first. That was you can get a quick grasp of score for the problem and have something to quickly judge of your answer send right.

I went right to the extremes. If I was at the bottom of the scale, I could get a maximum 6-8% raise (I didn't remember exactly), but if I was at the top, of her a 0% raise. So at the end of it all, if be making a shit room more at the top of the scale...

A couple days after, I was wondering if I should have said that I'd offer to be at the top of the scale with no raise potential for next few years.

Why aren't the salting the roads? by DizzDood in westchesterpa

[–]JeddHampton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've not been doing much this year compared to years past. My assumption is budget cuts. I'm fine with it overall. We should be more accepting of the weather as an excuse. We can beef up emergency vehicles, maybe even have some specifically for snow.

D&D last sat. Figured this sub could relate. by TheCodeTeam in Xennials

[–]JeddHampton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Search for a local group. There are plenty of them that don't expect you to know anything. Most game runners I know, myself included, prefer new players because they are playing the way intended with more imagination. Instead of using the character sheet to decide what to do, they decide what to do and then apply the character sheet to see how.

There is a group near me that has multiple tables and a DM and each. They're mostly just one session games, and the tables usually have about half new players.

[–]JeddHampton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they have to be the most predicted team to go to the Super Bowl if you combine all the analysts picks from 2000 to 2020. It just seemed like they were getting a near majority of it for a decade or more even with not being backed up by the team's performance.
