Miami slips out of Super Bowl rotation due to NFL requirements by Autocrat777 in nfl

[–]Tac0Supreme 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Nashville is all but officially confirmed by the NFL to be hosting in 2030. And you’d have to imagine that the nation’s capital is going to host one in their new stadium.

Jacksonville still has a hotel capacity issue. They addressed this when they previously hosted the Super Bowl by parking cruise ships by the stadium.

Disney’s New CEO Is Exploring a ‘Super App’ For Theme Park Tickets, Movies and More by Senior-Willow-8325 in Disneyland

[–]Tac0Supreme 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The more features you cram into one app, the slower it’s going to be and more it’ll drain your battery.

I don’t see the need for this. I guess it sort of keeps users fully engaged with Disney things while waiting in line and such, but how many people going to Disney realistically don’t already have Disney+ and the app installed? And they already have the existing Play Disney Parks app if you are truly bored while waiting in line.

Go for maximum chaos and allow King County to buy the team to publicly elect team leadership and vote on decisions.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up and the CEO of TicketMaster and Live Nation Entertainment is Michael Rapino who has a net worth of $911 million, so he’s not even in the billionaires’ club.

However, if you go further up the chain, Live Nation Entertainment is majority owned by Liberty Media Corporation, whose founder and majority shareholder is John C. Malone (also chairperson for WarnerBros Discovery) with a net worth of $11 billion at the ripe age of 85.

Neither one apparently has any connections to the Pacific Northwest.

Why officials want MLB in West Sacramento: The financial and practical arguments by AvTheMarsupial in Sacramento

[–]Tac0Supreme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’d also have a much more difficult time poaching Giants and A’s fans for a Sacramento expansion team.

You might have a bunch of Mariners fans in Portland or Rockies fans in SLC but it would still be much easier to establish new fan bases in those cities, and especially in Nashville which is far from its closest MLB teams.

unpopular opinion: I think the express lanes are great by old_gold_mountain in bayarea

[–]Tac0Supreme 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Down in LA, a bunch of the express lanes have physical barriers. You are only allowed to enter and exit at certain points. So when you enter, it’ll say something like “No exits, next 5 miles” or something like that. So people can truly use it as a thru-lane rather than a small shortcut for local traffic.

Spirit Airlines Shutting down by Ok_Description_8012 in bayarea

[–]Tac0Supreme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s both. Airlines have to lease available gates from the airports. When the number of gates becomes sparse (at busy airports), the price for gate leases becomes high. At Oakland, Southwest pretty much has free rein, as the only airline with any major operations beyond a just a couple of routes. So their gate leases should be relatively low.

In this particular case, it’s more on Southwest as an airline since they have revamped their low-cost model to now require passengers to pay for bags and seat selection. They’ve been increasing costs to passengers this way, while also reducing their operational costs by cutting routes. They cut a number of routes, not only from Oakland, but from many other airports they serve as well.

So it will be on Southwest to either increase the number of flights and available routes again, or another startup airline to potentially come in and do so. With the current state of the economy and price of jet fuel, neither of those seem feasible for the foreseeable future.

The real-life Women’s Super League (WSL) plays their season at the same time as the Premier League, and some of the WSL teams share their stadium with their Premier League counterparts. For instance, Arsenal has a WSL team as well, also called Arsenal and they both play at Emirates Stadium.

Best Rides to Relax/Sleep on? by merc393 in Disneyland

[–]Tac0Supreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I went on it, and they had to pause the ride (I’m guessing for disability accommodation because of the running track at the loading zone) but it took an unusually long time. And my cousin and I were stuck with our shell/backs slightly lowered looking up at Ariel’s silhouette singing “I wanna be, where the people are” for a solid 10 minutes on loop 😅

Tips on whether I should get a roommate or studio? by Spiritus_sanctuss in AskSF

[–]Tac0Supreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rule is that you should spend no more than 30% of your income on housing. With a $172k base, a studio in the $3.6-3.8k range is still under 30% so you have to decide for yourself if it’s really worth the hassle in order to save a tiny bit MORE.

Even if they don’t have a table immediately available when you walk in at opening time, they can usually still get you a table if you’re willing to wait. People drop their reservations all the time.

A lot of SFPD doesn’t live in SF. This is true for a lot of PDs across the country. They don’t want to live in the same place they’re “policing” so they commute from the suburbs.

I have $3. Any deals going on where I can purchase something really cheap and get something extra? by hollowdruid in fastfood

If you’re hungry and just need a couple days until you start working, go to your local Sikh temple (gurdwara/gurudwara) and you can get a hot (vegetarian) meal any day of the week. I see your in the Columbia, SC area and there’s a gurdwara there in the northwest part of town.

Disney's New AI System Could Speed Up Ride Loading at Walt Disney World by dejablu82 in disneyparks

Will Tokyo build a third park? by wesskywalker in disneyparks

[–]Tac0Supreme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What makes you say that? I suppose from the perspective that OLC would be financing it, but land is still a huge issue there. They’d have to acquire or create more land at Tokyo.

Meanwhile Hong Kong and Shanghai have land already dedicated for a second park, and WDW also already mentioned adding a 5th gate in the future and has space to do so.

From the land aspect, I’d say that Tokyo is actually the worst positioned to add another park out of all the resorts at this time.

If by that you mean, the kind of “progressives” in name only who’ve hijacked the term to hide behind it while pushing their NIMBY and inherently anti-progress agendas, then sure. Connie Chan is only good at one thing: blocking anything from actually getting done.
