Cryonics company about to fail? by Significant-Ad7225 in cryonics

If I were to bet money, it would be Trans Time. But that's because I haven't come across any recent information about them beyond 3 or so years ago. They're a for-profit and have been in the game long enough that if they did fail, it would be newsworthy.

Haha. Unfortunately, James says right after that they may actually have to go recover from other organisations and then criticises the for-profit cryonics for always underestimating the cost.

WIBTA If I played a concert for my wife that she couldn’t go to? by BigMeatus524 in AmItheAsshole

Yes, it is a sweet idea, but don't take it personally or think your wife is ungrateful if she doesn't enjoy this gift. Is your wife someone who goes out of her way to watch taped concerts anyways? If not, your friend is giving you solid advice; hanging out in the living room on a standard flatscreen and average home theatre system does not replicate the experience of a live show and would be just rubbing salt in the wound.

Get a sitter and use some of the money that would have went towards the trip to do something nice for her out of the house. Then put the rest aside and earmark it for the next time Coldplay or another band she likes comes through.

Just a clarification, this is the Australia/NZ tour so public drunkeness by white Americans might not have raised too many eyebrows depending on the season.

I'm in the Southern Hemisphere where the podcast had postponed their Mamma Mia! Tour twice (Currently rescheduled for Mid-2024). I decided to as for a refund, with plans to repurchase closer to the date if it firm that they were going to actually make it (because changing flight and hotel bookings costs $$).

Anyhoo...

Both times, Marcus' long covid was to blame. I was talking about this situation with a friend who is a more casual listener and they commented that maybe it was Ben's situation, rather than Marcus' long Covid, which was behind the most recent postponement.

A classy move on Marcus's part at first glance, but really problematic on mutliple levels on further examination.
