- 4-day, 8-hour, yes please. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 09:59 1
  - (I'm salaried, so I didn't factor in pay cut. No pay cut. And for hourly, a wage increase so that income doesn't drop.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:00

Dang. It just occurred to me that if I want to leave the airport in Amsterdam, I may need to deal with whatever COVID protocols the Netherlands has. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 09:45 3
- My son just returned from there. The only requirement he had was the US requirement for testing upon return but that isn't in place anymore - oblique Aug 18, 09:54 2

- This is official now. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 18, 10:02
- This screws the Browns. It gives Watson one year of service this year which guarantees his $45 million salary next year. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 18, 09:35 5
  - These are my tears for the Haslam’s. Look close, the tears are quite tiny. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:44
  - Browns have nobody to blame but themselves. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 18, 09:38 1
    - Yup, and I think they were trying to cleverly rocket up the market of franchise QBs so that the Ravens and eventually Cincy would have to pay way more -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 18, 09:47
  - They know what they did. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 09:35 1

        He did. But I’m not sure how he’s made in the past. I’d rather have a company making products than being the product. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:50 7
        
        He's been a produce on everything since MI 1 in 1996. I bet he's got backend deals on those and other projects. -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 10:18

- Freevee is the rebranded IMDbTV -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 09:18 1

- Took a bit to recognize Plimpton. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 09:07 1

Call me cynical, but announcing that you will no longer promote your own films due to mental health issues while promoting your documentary about dealing with your mental health issues seems a bit too on the nail -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 18, 07:56 2
- Meh - it's an open letter, and he's talking about media appearances, public events, etc - Roger More Aug 18, 08:19 1

Qale, you got 4 PPV a year… you don’t give away your title unification 2 weeks before it. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 18, 07:52 9
- IF that was the endgame to that story I agree. But you have two options...either MJF shows up - Remlik Aug 18, 08:28 1
  - the other consideration is that Khan is getting very close with the WBD execs and this is something he's doing for them to see - Remlik Aug 18, 08:30
- I can see one reason for it, which would be unification matches happen as soon as the injured champ is cleared. - the wrong element Aug 18, 08:12
- The best way to do this would be have the match, have Punk win as expected, and then hit Kenny Omega's music. 2 weeks is all you need there. -- nm - Qale Aug 18, 08:05 5
  - Meh. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 18, 09:39
  - Meh…the guy lost and disappeared. He shouldn’t just step back into a title shot. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 08:25 3

The Gauge: Total time spent watching TV in July closely resembled that of both June 2022 and July 2021, - Mop Aug 18, 07:51 3
- That number shows the overall TV viewing isn't shrinking compared to last year and last month. - Inigo Aug 18, 08:00 2
  - Nielsen needs to just post one single number. Why have they never posted actuals? That’s not fishy? -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 08:04 1
    - I have no idea why Nielsen does things the way they do. - Inigo Aug 18, 08:32
