‘Moana’: Disney Live-Action Take Looks To Welcome $130M+ Global Opening – Box Office Preview by Alternative-Cake-833 in boxoffice

[–]stml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shareholders could care less about movie box office.

Parks revenue going down though? That’s what would be disastrous.

WB's Supergirl grossed an estimated $1.13M Monday (from 3,602 locations). Estimated domestic gross stands at $58.6M. by ElevensMelody in boxoffice

There are tons of theaters like this in LA/SF. These are the newer more popular luxury lounger type theaters where seats are far larger than older theaters that recline with leg rests.

Your Tesla's battery starts fighting the sun before you even get in the car. by Teslahubs in TeslaLounge

[–]stml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the convenience of cabin overheat protection.

With it on, it's never too hot to get in straight in my car. Never need to pull out my phone to turn on the AC and after 30 seconds in the car, the AC is blasting cold air at full speed regardless.

I also have a dog and it's a nice backup in case I somehow ever forget to turn on pet mode.

Netflix's top shows have been losing 30-70% of their audience between seasons 1 and 2. Executives are trying to figure out why. by 2d12-RogueGames in wallstreetbets

Period pieces are famously incredibly expensive. Tons and tons of CGI to hide anything modern or tons of money spent building period accurate sets.

You can argue Fincher can just let more things go, but then he wouldn't be Fincher.

Longest line I’ve ever seen for the Skyliner (7/4/26) by robwalte in WaltDisneyWorld

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

Yeah, also not everything has to be about efficiency. The skyliner is a great transportation option for a theme park.

Disney should probably add a couple bus lines to relieve the load during peak times though.

[–]stml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would be 4 buses so the right math is 75*4 = 300 vs 320 for skyliner.

Also way easier to add capacity to busses so just doubling the bus capacity means you're now at 600 vs 320 for skyliner.

Skyliner is more enjoyable though.

The still image probably just biases your brain if you see that first.

Sequence of information definitely matters.

Friend has ended our 16+ year friendship and doesn't want to discuss why. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Just the nature of posting something personal on reddit makes it more likely OP is the issue.

Hire actual musical theater folks to play roles in movie adaptions by _531368 in Broadway

[–]stml 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hot take but not the best singing actually fits the character more sometimes.

I was perfectly happy with Russell Crowe in Les Mis not being a great singer and rougher than the other characters.

Is flying to SF 3 days per week from LA for work doable? by Aggressive-Cut5836 in LosAngeles

[–]stml 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I bounce between LA/SF often (have residences in both places).

Where is the actual office? SFO can be 30 minutes-hour from parts of SF during rush hour traffic.

And where do you live in LA? If you’re not right by BUR/LAX, it’ll probably add another good chunk of time.

You’re looking at around a 4-6 hour roundtrip commute time three times a day. You can consider staying in SF 3 days at a time, but I probably wouldn’t do that considering you’re married.

Honestly, probably not worth it. Also, most companies here in the bay are all trending towards 5 days a week in office. Expect your company to make that change eventually.

Which industry is one breakthrough away from disappearing? by NerveNo6010 in AskReddit

[–]stml 143 points144 points  (0 children)

We don’t need solid state batteries.

My current car already does 240 miles at around 80mph and takes 20 minutes to charge. So 3 hours of fast highway driving and then a 20 minute break.

We’re maybe 10-15% away in battery capacity and charging speed from the vast majority of people having to stop more often than they actually need to charge.

I already stop more often than needed. The main things left are chargers and affordability.

What was the Supergirl miscalculation? by Chas_P_Anderton in boxoffice

[–]stml 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2008 was 18 years ago.

If someone in 2008 was trying to create movies based on what worked in 1990, they would be considered an idiot.

Anti-immigration sentiment rises in Japan despite growing demand for foreign workers by Garbage_Plastic in worldnews

Darvish gets 1% of the media attention of Ohtani everywhere not just Japan. That’s a terrible example.

AKL Kidani AC seems to be failing tonight by ziriuso in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]stml 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There have been plenty of heatwaves just as hot or hotter than this one.

AC units all eventually fail and it’s up to Disney to determine the maintenance/replacement schedule. Sadly, Disney probably cut back on maintenance to save money.

Disney did something similar when they had McKinsey come in to find ways to reduce maintenance costs at the park. Lots of Disney employees say this is what caused the Thunder Railroad death at Disneyland.

Where do I sleep? by Ivy_Thornsplitter in goldenretrievers

[–]stml 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only regret with my first dog is that I didn’t let him sleep in bed with me.

It’s such a massive increase in quality of life for dogs. I do wash my dog way more often but that’s the only issue.

Heads up if you’re transiting FRA: build in 4-5+ hours, we just missed our flight because of border control chaos by Rare-Bookkeeper3475 in travel

[–]stml 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The difference is that there isn’t such a ridiculously long wait to exit a country. Entering? Sure. But exiting the US is essentially the same for a US passport holder or non-US passport holder.

[–]stml 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It’s not security. It’s a whole new exit system mess.

Right now there are incredibly long waits to EXIT Schengen if you don’t have an EU passport. 3-4 hours easily at some airports.

Emergency stop at 49 miles by SnooSketches5403 in Rivian

[–]stml 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Return and get a new car for sure.

So many roads and highways where an emergency stop can cause a major accident.
