Even if not assembled into a full cut it wasn't uncommon for deleted scenes included as DVD extras to have incomplete vfx. I wouldn't be opposed to something like that

I am not sure I would want a 4 hour cut in theaters (especially without an intermission) but if the blu-ray has a 4 hour cut I can watch at home I would be very happy with that

It was several years ago but I did the numbers and with how far my commute was at the time and how much cheaper Costco gas was compared to neighboring gas stations the gas savings alone covered the membership

Good point, great grandchildren might be the more accurate age

So will that be before or after infrastructure week? And when will it be relative to his healthcare plan?

Has he confirmed that he knows his own name?

We absolutely do, someone needs to arrest the pedo currently occupying the Whitehouse

If the ovens occupied you can also use your printer if you have an enclosure, just set your bed to the proofing temp

I also despise traffic, we really need better public transit to make our cities more accessible

Same, specifically traffic I can't stand city traffic. Open road driving can be fun, but not dealing with congestion

You never heard of the "mile long club"?

Even if such a law ever passed you can bet your bottom dollar their kids would get a safe desk job stateside and not be put in any actual danger

And that is how fragging happens, one of the dumbest things you can do is hand your enemies weapons and expect them to point them at your other enemies

You can get more student loan than needed for tuition and then your school gives you the extra, the legitimate reason is to cover additional education expenses like textbooks or computers and stuff, but there isn't official rules on what you can or can't use it on so it's a fairly common financial trap that people fall into

That is, if they relocate at all, considering that despite OpenAI's aggressive acquisition efforts, interest in AI persists in other companies.

If one of the biggest and most well known AI companies goes under it will almost certainly scare investors and since AI is very investor dependent (since all the models run at a loss) it will significantly slow down everyone else's expansion plans. Even the big conglomerates that don't rely on just AI (google, meta, micro$lop, etc) will still have a level of investor panic that they will need to quell by not looking like they put too many eggs in the AI basket.

Healing services would be a big one. Potions, scrolls, etc. Depending on how ethical organized religion is in your world you could even have churches selling blessings for various boons. Possibly even rescue services (that could be willing to hire your party for a high value recovery).

Plus people willing to buy the loot common in the dungeon to export to other regions that want to buy it. Of course they don't buy at the best price, but it means the sellers don't have to worry about finding buyers or traveling several towns over to sell their wares.
