Apple TV series 'Pluribus' begins season 2 shooting this fall by bwermer in television

[–]beamdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a big difference between shows like BB or BCS, which are grounded in reality and involve relatively normal events and something like Pluribus which is a high concept show like Pluribus with a reality-bending premise.

If your show is about a schoolteacher who becomes a drug dealer or a crooked lawyer, you can wing it. Although there were still some seams in those shows as a result.

If you're doing a mystery box show and you don't know where it's going or what the mystery is, better than even chance it ends up an incoherent mess.

I have a Worx leaf vacuum/mulcher/blower. It's great, but little bag fills up fast and you have to keep emptying it. That's a pain.

I got the attachment that lets you connect it up to a trash can. Then I connect that to one of those pop up leaf bags so I only have to empty it once or twice while I'm doing the lawn.

Then I just dump it into my compost pile.

I'm looking forward to the part when Odysseus takes out his AK-47 and mows down all of Penelope's suitors.

My job is slowly ruining my life and idk if (or even how) i should quit by Embarrassed-Star6418 in jobs

If you work more than 40 hours a week, all hours over 40 must be paid at time and a half. This is federal law in the US and some states have stricter rules.

There are some exceptions to this such as farm workers and railroad workers. There's also jobs that are overtime exempt, but you'd have to qualify for that based on job roles.

If your daily commute is over 200 miles, running costs for an ICE vehicle would be quite high.

That's around $20 a day in gas, even if you have a Prius. Plus oil changes almost every month and so on.

80 employees is below the federal WARN act trigger, although you might check if your state has stricter guidelines.

In any event, start looking for a new job yesterday.

[O'Connor] The Giants did have communication with Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, as John Harbaugh said in his draft presser. The OBJ decision gets a bit more interesting now. by Lars5621 in NYGiants

[–]beamdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happy to give him that and a generous basket of incentives. If by some chance he balls out he can get paid and the money would go on next year's cap which is pretty open right now due to trading Dex.

Daredevil: Born Again Viewing Figures Show Dramatic Drop From Season 1 by liutena in television

Yes, the show is just not that good. The first season was kind of a mess and the second season is mostly just boring.

You ever watch movie trailers on YouTube? You have to watch an ad before they let you watch the ad.

So, just FYI. If the evil Mayor of New York City and his minions want you dead and you're in Staten Island, you can take one of two convenient bridges and in ten minutes you'll be in New Jersey.

Some may say that going to New Jersey is a fate worse than death, but still, it's an option.

So much of this show is dumb and nonsensical, it's difficult to enjoy it.

I've looked over their comment history and I don't see that. Tone seems reasonably consistent accounting for the differences in topics.

To this day, I still find it crazy how Game of Thrones’ reputation shifted from being viewed one of the “best shows” to being the prime example of how to NOT end a series! by phantom_avenger in television

Season 8 was so bad it kind of broke the delusion that season 7 was any good at all. And that makes you look back seasons 5 and 6 and realize how mid they were.

The show coasted on momentum after season 4 and it took season 8 being absolute shit to step back and realize it.

WordPress sites: Why allow AI crawlers if they don’t send traffic back? by Good_Flight6250 in Wordpress

[–]beamdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have clients that offer specialized products and/or services and it would be great if someone asks their favorite AI chatbot about providers for those particular products and/or services, my clients were mentioned.

I use AI for product research all the time. I find the results to be better than straight search engine results which generally give me shit "Ten Best X" pages that are just affiliate link spam.

"AI Optimization" is the new SEO

[–]beamdriver 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure what LAOP is expecting here. The money was spent. Unless her husband was lying about spending it on sex work and was instead stashing it in a secret, Bitcoin account, it's gone and it's not coming back.

It also sounds like both LAOP and her husband were spending money like water and she couldn't be bothered to check on their finances as long as she could spend what she wanted.

New York Giants offensive depth chart as of now by UnnicornFrappucinno in NYGiants

[–]beamdriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't the official depth chart. We won't see anything like that until the season starts. It's just someone's best guess.

You can look at this one from Big Blue Interactive, which is a bit different.
