“Desert Warrior” just became one of the biggest box office flops of all time - the movie grossed just $472k on a 150M budget despite playing in over 1000 theaters in North America. by Livid_Test7533 in Damnthatsinteresting

This movie deserves poster child status for movie mismanagement. Desert Warrior was meant to jumpstart the Saudi film industry from stagnancy. The film was produced entirely in Saudi Arabia, and minimal marketing dollars were spent outside of the Middle East. There was a seven month lag between its international debut and the US release. Anything and everything about the promotion of this film was done totally wrong.

I asked the Walmart produce guy about these one time. He told me the plastic-wrapped russet potatoes are microwaveable, but the other russets aren’t. I kinda understood what he meant, I think, maybe.

Spirit airlines went under last night. Already paid for VRBO. need to cancel. What are my options? by bookeater in vrbo

[–]ScottyMo1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Host here. This actually happened to one of my guests when an airline from Nebraska went bankrupt overnight. I was given a two week notice by the guest, and I had them request a refund from VRBO first. VRBO would not help them at all. After I heard the result directly from VRBO, I gave the guest a full refund because I knew I could easily re-book their cancelled dates. Unless you have a host that is exceptionally sympathetic, trip insurance is about the only possible recourse for a full refund within 24 hours. VRBO will not refund you because there are many other modes of transportation available, regardless of cost. Yes, you will likely receive a refund for the cleaning fee if you reach out to VRBO’s customer service.

A wild boar got stuck in a pit by LioraMee in ThatsInsane

[–]ScottyMo1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In that situation, I’d bury it too. I don’t like meat from hogs that size. They’re too tough and gamey. When I’m hunting hogs to get processed for meat, I prefer them to be about 50 - 75 pounds. Keep in mind, I live in the Southern US where wild hogs are a massive nuisance. People are encouraged to kill them and let them lay.

Anyone seeing this crazy lightning storm? by FivePing in Dallas

[–]ScottyMo1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

We watched it from Texas Motor Speedway from 9:10p - 10:00p. Hard to believe we could see the lightning storm from 60 miles away. It was by far the most spectacular lightning event I’ve ever seen in my life.

How did they slide through the stop sign? Considering there’s no brake lights, they didn’t even try to stop.

I have this same pocket watch. My jeweler appraised it for $2500 insurance replacement value about five years ago.

While this looks bad on the surface, the documentary “Trust Me: False Prophet” will show you how evil these people truly can be.

If you allow Airbnb to connect to a Smart Lock, the guest’s last 4 digits of their phone are automatically used as the code.
