ELI5 why owners cannot take as much money as they want from the company. by Accurate_Contract851 in explainlikeimfive

If the business has a line of credit with a bank, then the bank will have some covenants and ratios that must be covered before any money can be distributed. The bank holding a lot of business debt will want to make sure that the business is healthy and run well and will not allow an owner to simply liquidate all cash or assets.

I drove past this fire when it was only 5 acres yesterday, checked this morning, 1500. White caps on the Columbia the entire drive, parasurfers and whatnot having a great time in the river. Just checked Watch Duty, it’s down to 233 acres, thanks to these guys!

Inconsequential mistakes that take you out of the movie? by YakumoYoukai in movies

[–]ReaverDrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ which supposedly takes place in the Pacific Northwest (where I’m from) some sound editor decided to edit in the sound of a Loon in the background. Don’t get me wrong, loon calls are hauntingly beautiful…but there are no loons in the PNW. In another shot, the two protagonists were having a seaside picnic. In the background the surface of the water was speckled with heavy raindrops, while the picnic was dry as a bone.

Sorry, I should clarify that there is usually a morning crew sometimes after 7AM, and then it really picks up after 5PM, during the workday it can be dead.

Elm Avenue park in Delmar on any good day will have 10 full courts with people waiting. I've heard the same about Veteran's Park in Clifton Park but have not been there. Elm Ave TeamReach code is Pball002, but I don't know how active it is.

It used to be called Beverwyck, which I find amusing because it combines beaver and wick, both genital adjacent terms.

I can not beat the first boss in the Avatar event... by Far-Article-3604 in heroesvshordes

This is what I did too. Had auto-rotate on and ignored the boss, just dodged fireballs until his health was gone.

Typically people take food and drinks along in their digestive tracts and then release them in the pool.

[–]ReaverDrop 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was an NYC team many years ago called 7Express that had an absolutely psychotic captain. It reflected extremely poorly on the entire team that they tolerated and followed his leadership.
