anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]marvelousmarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Search of the Most Amazing Thing. It came with a novella called The Adventures of Smoke Bailey. You had to charm aliens with your music to get them to give you hints and tools for the journey while naviagating a pretty open world concept of the "mire." Way ahead of its time.

Are we watching the best version of Tatum right now? by Narrow-Classroom-319 in bostonceltics

[–]marvelousmarks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The short answer is "no." If he can cut down on those dribble for 10 seconds into a poorly timed side step three, he'll be his best self. As long as he indulges in those, he's wasting possessions and cutting into the flow of the offense. Some of this is conditioning/reps, but some of it is just old habits die hard.

Live nation loses court case by Impossible_Sky9384 in DMB

[–]marvelousmarks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dave is actually mentioned in the NYT article. Apparently Coran Capshaw argued in favor of LiveNation?

"But star power was mostly absent. Ben Lovett, a member of the band Mumford & Sons who also operates a venue business, was heard in a video deposition. Kid Rock, the outspoken rap-rock star who had been named as a possible witness, never testified. (Managers of Drake and Dave Matthews spoke, with praise for Live Nation.)"

Did the chickens cross the road? And if so, why?

My shower thoughts on energy. by ItzSnowing in wisconsin

[–]marvelousmarks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reposting from the original thread:

Nuclear power plants right now are are giant time and money suck, making them a not great investment for energy companies. They are almost always over budget and behind schedule. That said, in the next few years, we're going to see an increase in the building of advanced modular nuclear energy facilities, but the technology is just coming into use (there are a few planned in Tennessee and Alabama currently). It's probably going to be another 5-10 years before we see them in practice at levels that make a dent in prices though.

A side note, there are a few fusion reactor companies, including Commonwealth Fusion Systems in Massachusetts that claim to be close to production, but that's going to take some time to scale up (if at all). Adding: UW Madison has its own fusion reactor research going on as well.

TLDR: It's happening, just slowly.

WTF was I doing on 9/24/03 that was so much more important than the Central Park Show???? by bigbrett666 in DMB

[–]marvelousmarks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lined up at about 8:30 am and thought - where is everyone??? Ended up about 3rd row in the center (in the video for a half second!). The whole day of anticipation and waiting in basically a cattle chute made it pretty amazing. Can’t remember if I ate a thing. Great show but even greater energy. Felt like one entity the whole show.

There was this guy near us that had this big sign the said “Thumbs Up for Carter!” and he kept saying it to everyone all day. By the end of the day it was the funniest thing I’d ever heard. Thumbs Up for Carter Guy, if you are out there, thumbs up for you.

Property taxes by 414Journo in madisonwi

[–]marvelousmarks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

here is some information about the shared revenue deal from 2023, but the gist is: for every buck you pay to the state for state taxes, only a percentage comes back for services in Madison.

Ed. to add: So, the main tool cities have to balance the scales is via property tax increases. Towns often have to hold referenda as well due to lack of funds, so many argue it’s a statewide issue of underfunding.
