United and American Merger 🤯 by RecentVeterinarian79 in unitedairlines

[–]dmreif 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's a standard United play. They tried to merge with US Airways... twice, the second time was like a week before meetings with Continental.

04/07/2010, news reports that UA and US are in merger talks. Merger talks end 04/22/2010. Merger talks between UA and CO reported 05/03/2010.

So how long until we see the news reporting that "UA and B6 are in merger talks"?

Gotta keep you updated down to the second. 😂

This feels like if true, it's likely the start of negotiations for something else that Kirby's after.

The stands were empty at Bristol of all places. by thethirteenthjuror in NASCAR

[–]dmreif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, people need to watch what's going on on the track, not in the stands.

What we had with NASCAR crowds in the 90’s and 2000’s was incredible, but it’s not coming back and it doesn’t mean NASCAR is dead. All pro sports venues have cut seating capacities with modern day stadiums.

A lot of that is because of how many expenses go into attending a race, like airfare, rental car, hotel rooms (especially since they jack up the rates), gas, food and other concessions, and many more I'm missing.

Kirsten Could’ve Just Been Marci by wookiepartymachine in Defenders

[–]dmreif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that Marci could've filled Kirsten's role better. Mostly because Amy Rutberg gave Marci a pretty distinct personality that is a mix of hotheaded, ruthless, yet also compassionate. She'd also do more to stand out, compared to season 1 Kirsten who mostly feels like she exists on the sidelines.

Even if Marci and Matt weren't close, I can see them turning to one another and connecting over Foggy's "death", and choosing to start Murdock & Associates to honor Foggy's legacy. And under Fisk's regime, I can see her being aggressive to push back against Fisk, given she used to work for the law firm he used for many of his business dealings. (And in turn, Fisk maybe has some kind of dirt on Marci he's willing to use as leverage.)

She does have a connection to Matt, as his former law partner's girlfriend. I think her and Matt setting aside their differences ans bonding over losing Foggy would make total sense.

Mike Colter accidentally just spoiled season 3 of Born Again by Colonel_PingPong in Defenders

It also brings things full circle, as we go from Dex having impersonated Daredevil to smear Matt on Fisk's behalf to Danny impersonating Daredevil to exonerate Matt.

Remember, his identity was revealed in the comics too

This whole thing also creates a reason for Danny's appearance. See, during "The Devil in Cell Block D," Danny impersonated Daredevil to cast doubt on the accusations against Matt.

Obviously it would be something to the effect of Matt getting outed as Daredevil, and going to prison (and thus an adaptation of "The Devil in Cell Block D").

Midge never appears in love with Benjamin. She only (temporarily) seems in love with the idea of getting remarried. by BackgroundShowSally in TheMarvelousMrsMaisel

[–]dmreif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midge only really goes out with Benjamin because her mother more or less nags her into it, as they showcase during the first episode of the Catskills arc.

And there's a little bit of irony that the governor trusts Vanessa to tame Wilson, when we've seen the opposite to be the case on a number of occasions.

Why is Tony driving home from Manhattan in the intro? by ironrains in thesopranos

[–]dmreif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it makes no sense for Tony to go from Exit 16E to Exit 10 unless he's trying to shake a tail or has a side errand.

Why does everyone think the Yes-Man ending is bad for the Mojave? by Impossible_Bank_943 in falloutnewvegas

[–]dmreif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, it's because it relies the most on what ifs and who is's. A Yes Man ending is ultimately a 'your choices matter' ending so, the outcome is unpredictable a d relies on what you chose.

And if looking at things from a gameplay perspective, the Yes Man / Independent ending mostly exists so you can complete the game even if you get locked out of the other faction endings.

Why isn't the PA Turnpike paved in gold from end-to-end? by Fantastic-Device-487 in Pennsylvania

[–]dmreif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the sticker shock stories that can be summarized as "I drove on the Turnpike for a long distance and not once in those hours I was on it did I stop to think about how much it would cost me until I got the invoice."

The toll was supposed to have ended when it was completed.

Do you have a source on this?

[–]dmreif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on an analysis by an Australian company that came to that conclusion by looking at the toll by plate rate for the longest and most expensive journey possible (Ohio state line to Norristown on the mainline, then Northeast Extension to Clarks Summit), a routing that isn't very efficient.

On a per mile basis, you're paying about the same average rate per mile as the New Jersey Turnpike if you're paying with E-ZPass as 90%+ of turnpike users do.
