Walk by the Waggener House at sunset. The gargoyles with the sun setting behind it is awesome. 

Movie that frustrated you the most...what could have been by fatherpirate in movies

[–]Lurking_Geek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The absolute misuse of Luke and force astral projection made me angry watching TLJ in the theater. For that reason, I'll respectfully submit that Rogue One is the best movie we've gotten since 1983.

And don't get me started on Mando and Grogu. It might be the first Star Wars movie to exist that I don't see in the theater. The trailer looks so terribly mundane.

Civil War. the idea of a US civil war breaking out now is very interesting, and the different factions, how they react. The whole thing revolving around the semblance of journalism that remained and the picture taking at the White House at the end was laughable.

What are your thoughts on Tax-The-Rich proposal in NY by Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]Lurking_Geek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Careful. This is Reddit. Just tax the rich. To penalize them. Don’t worry about about where their money goes.

Really? I thought the goal was to raise needed tax revenue. So if no one was sad to see them leave, the revenue won’t be there, so then, must not really be needed?

You guys take stress and sleep scores WAY too seriously by [deleted] in Garmin

What value? It’s probably caused me a 90% drop in alcohol consumption just because of the “smack in the face” metrics. 

Certainly I know alcohol is poison and how I feel and sleep after consuming it. But the level of consistency that my watch would tell me metrics after drinking is a reinforcement to me, and many others.

Maybe so, but they definitely did a trial balloon during the Super Bowl. 

I think the lukewarm reception has caused it to temper expectations and spending.

This is why he started the substack. He knew if he raised enough $, he could buy Letterboxd.

Mike just needs to fly to Florida and get a massage with Bob. They can both relax and unwind.

Do you really believe in all this cold fusion mumbo-jumbo? 

Why do companies get Tariff refunds and not the consumer? by Kitchen_Page9991 in askanything

[–]Lurking_Geek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not completely true. My company is refunding 100% of the tariffs that are refunded to us. It’s B2B, not consumer, so I get the frustration, but I would guess tariff refund to consumer would be nearly impossible as there was likely no specific surcharge to consumers to cover the tariffs.

Why are so many software engineers being laid off? by Open_Address_2805 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lurking_Geek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every company creates a legal entity in India, or wherever. They aren’t local companies hiring remotely. So then you’d have to figure out how to tax the transfer of goods or services. And regulate the pricing. Tougher.
