TIL movie theater protectors aren’t higher resolution than home TVs or projectors. Many are still 2k (basically1080p). Even IMAX.

Obviously they’re better contrast ratio, brightness, etc than a consumer projector. I just really assumed they were at 6k or 8k these days, at least for nicer ones.

Trunk about how many things say the name of the airport. Tons of road signs, which are not cheap. Internal signs in the building. External signs. Every shirt and name badge of every employee (hundreds of not 1000). All the software. Every airline has to update stuff.

The common joke is that now people will be “departing from D. Parton”

The state already tried naming it Trump and it stalled when the city (who share control of the airport) didn’t also pass it. Then an airport in Florida took the name, so that’s moot now.

So it is a continuation of the “we can rename the airport something different” momentum, but Trump was a name isn’t really a risk any more. Someone like Fred Thompson would be more likely until Dolly became an option.

We like the idea. The people in Nashville are a little miffed that it’ll cost more than $10 million. We’d rather see that go to transit or education (and I think Dolly would have too).

Just put up a statue in the airport like Austin has SRV and use the money for something better

I did. Did you not read mine? If a single 3rd party entity is setting up all your backups, then that single entity still controls your destiny. That’s still a bad idea.

A single place can’t do 3-2-1. That’s not “3” (just a single company = single point of failure, as demonstrated here)

Unless you’re a lawyer or a tax accountant.

It’s about avoiding taxes and regulations

It’s about being outside of any company’s jurisdiction. Same thing for the floating datacenters at sea. Can’t tax it and regulate it if it’s not in any legal country.

It wasn’t renewed… How can that be a bad renewal?

Are you saying they shouldn’t have made season 2? Or they should have made season 3?

I agree 1 was meh and 2 was decent. 3 had potential.

100% this. No one is ever taught it as a rule in school. You’re never tested over it. But all native English speakers intuitively know it.

To the point of ‘how the Internet blacked out’ - a lot of what you think of as ‘phone’ today actually goes via IP over data, not analog voice. It would mean we all have to turn back on our land lines, which would take ages and a lot of business and logistics would be pretty rough for a while. Those few places with working phones would have lines of people waiting to use them until it was restored more widely.

I appreciate your generosity, and I want to share it. I’m open to the possibility.

I think it’s far more likely that just as he was on the forefront of the insane right wing unltra-conservative movement when he was on CNN, I think he’s looking a few steps down the road and knows that Trump’s time is coming to an end - either through term limits and/or death from old age and poor health. And possibly effectively sooner if the mid-terms go poorly. So that there’s about to be a massive power vacuum on the right. He’s distancing himself from what is about to be a collapse of the party. He knows it’ll take a couple of years to build up a viable alternative to Trump’s party, so he’s starting those wheels.

Rats from the sinking ship and all that.

Maybe? I’m not sure, to be honest. I took this on approach a long time ago and didn’t get around to processing them for a while.

😁

It’s mostly rated TV-PG. The equivalent in TV you a ‘G’ trying is TV-G or TV-Y.

That’s objectively not true. Studios could choose to have a movie rated or not. Many are just “un-rated”.

Many were rated as G because post-Hayes Code but pre-MPAA ratings, most would have earned a G anyway
