    I don’t know. It’s a broad mandate the commission has and he has republicans on it too. Not to mention you don’t get 51 votes in the senate to expand the court. Seems like he is going through the motions to placate some faction or another.

    We are so close to getting masses vaccinated. Why not be extra cautious now?

    Saw a video on YouTube, where a guy was making pet crates out of 2x4's, 2x6's and rebar. The crates did double duty as end tables for smaller animals and tv tables for larger animals. Might work for grandchildren. Would make a fun project.

    @xenon said in ________ Studios: Monetization model is tough. Hard to get people to leave the house to go to the movies. Big movies win... big movies are risky... risky = generic, repetitive IP. But I hear what you're saying. Attack the cost side... cheap movies with good writing can be monetized differently. I agree. The target customers are primarily the streaming services, with "cable" channels being the secondary market.

    @Axtremus If it works correctly there won’t be any need for me to use that skill. I’m glad to know you aren’t working on it.

    I think Yascha is making largely the same prediction as Renauda. It is what it is, I guess. Sure, the politically viable folk are not white males anymore. But the politically viable ideas are as they always were: safety, security, opportunity.

    @catseye3 said in The Office: My company blocks this website, presumably with good reason. Seriously, why are they? Who knows? They block all kinds of stuff. Luckily for me, I only ever look at work-related stuff during office hours.

    @catseye3 said in Trump irrelevant?: His perceived audience is no longer of any use to him insofar as getting what he wants to get. So there's no need to talk to them. I dunno, Cats. I'm watching Kerry now. Looks like they are hitting the ground running with climate change and a certain disdain for those neanderthals that work in fossil fuels. That's going to be Big Money during an era of Covid and the repercussions of Covid. Might be a lot of angry frustrated people in a few years that once again get tired of being lectured to by the clean elite wealth class.
