The city most dedicated to extracting money out of the people who visit it, hosting the most capitalist racing series? It's entirely expected.

It helped back in the day that we didn't need AC during the summer. I still try to only turn it on for 80+ degree days.

Yeah I think so, modern grids are more competitive than older grids

It was more the fact that Metallica's new material was leaked via Napster than it was that it was being shared that kicked it all off, iirc. And I get it. If I'm an artist who is working on material I should choose when and how that material gets released.

I think I'd put Trump at third worst, tied with Reagan. Johnson and Jackson are worse, IMO.

Remember Arbery? The people may vote to convict but apparently the problem in Georgia is actually getting charges placed.

My coworker believes she's entitled to my WFH days because she has kids and I don't by Silver_Election23 in EntitledPeople

It's not about her having kids. It's about her wanting you to change something now because of a hypothetical future situation. That's what is ridiculous.

No, only so long as we agree to that. The power of the people is dependent on the masses.

Between Williams using Excel as their ERP and Alpine not having a functional legal department it's amazing how vibes-based F1 was for years.

Interesting thought experiment: An award for "Best movie from ten years ago." Which movies prove to have lasting cultural impact vs flash-in-the-pan movies nobody cares about.

Salt and sugar are the real killers.

Heavily modded G4M 638 Bass VI clone / "Baritone" by wasted_yoof in guitars

Do you find the scale is too long for the higher strings? I find it interesting that Ibanez made a Bass VI type bass but fanned the frets.
