If you’ve been toying with the idea of becoming a hot water bottle magnate, now would be a good time to start; hot water bottle sales steam ahead in - Loyola Mar 1, 14:37 1

- He isn't gonna do shit. This is all clap trap to try and save face -- nm - Jovian Mar 1, 14:23 23
  - I wouldn't underestimate the possible impacts here. Disney wants to upgrade some facility and the board says no because they don't like something. - pmb Mar 1, 14:42 7
    - Disney already gave itself all the legal maneuvering it needed. It's building out a two-lane road into four lanes and gave itself needed permits. - David Mar 1, 14:48
    - prohibitive? you've seen the BILLIONS a sports franchise gets for a stadium, now imagine what a State would give Disney for 50,000 jobs and 50 million - Beaker Mar 1, 14:47 5
      - Sure, but it's not as simple as that. Disney needs much more infrastructure than most of those projects, much more land in an accessible area and - pmb Mar 1, 15:07
      - more to the point, nothing would ruin DeSantis' career faster than being the guy who ran Disney out of Florida on a rail - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 14:57
      - Disney's not leaving, but it did take careful note of what happened with Amazon and HQ2. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:52 2
        
        they would of been negligent if they hadn't -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 14:54 1
        
        As I wrote yesterday, I was really proud of what Disney did. - David Mar 1, 15:03
  - I'm enjoying Disney's casual indifference. - David Mar 1, 14:25 14
    - *Bane_doyoufeellikeyou'reincontrol.gif* -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:43
    - And they're going to come out with whatever they want. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 14:39 12
      - Of course. This is all theater for headlines. - David Mar 1, 14:43 11
        
        LGBTQ employees at WDW probably don't see anything DeSantis does as "theatrics" -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 14:45 10
        
        Disney's not responsible for how people vote in Florida, just as everything that happens with Tennessee isn't on Kim, Kelly, Hunting, and me. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:51 9
        
        I mean it's *mostly* on just you. -- nm - mafic Mar 1, 15:11
        
        nobody’s holding a gun to Iger’s head forcing him to stay there -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 14:54 7
        
        Unfortunately, 50 years of investing in infrastructure is kind of an anchor - JD Mar 1, 14:58 2
        
        eh, you can build anything anywhere when you're Disney if you have the political will -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 15:00 1
        
        Where would you suggest they go that is 50+ degrees 360 days a year? Texas? Georgia? Maybe Alabama? -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 15:08
        
        These arguments are getting sillier and sillier. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:57 3
        
        how many more ways does a state have to say "we don't want you here" before you take the hint? -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 14:59 2
        
        Walt Disney World's per capita spending is the highest ever, up more than 20 percent since 2019. -- nm - David Mar 1, 15:05 1
        
        Serious question, who is the capita in this case? -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 15:10
- THEY CAN'T DO THAT... (can they?) so does Disney pull out, buy land in Georgia and start over? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 14:21 7
  - Yeah, they'll surely move to liberal South Georgia. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 1, 14:54 4
    - although it won't be underwater in 50 years so ... *thumbs up* -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 14:55 3
      - Sea levels would have to raise 82' for Orlando to be under water. At that point we have bigger problems than Mickey. -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 15:12
      - 50, 75, what's the difference? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 1, 15:00
      - :-D -- nm - mud Mar 1, 14:57
  - See, this is the problem with hyping misinformation. People like zeitgeist believe it's true. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:24
  - I'm sure Disney's lawyers will keep this in the courts until Florida goes broke fighting the woke -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 1, 14:23
The Blackening Trailer -- (link) - Dano Mar 1, 14:15 [youtube] 1

Hronek and a 4th to Vancouver for a 1st and a 2nd (?) - spamlet Mar 1, 13:56
Looks like Tesla is aiming to enter the HVAC business and the electric boat and plane business. - TWuG Mar 1, 13:48 8
- Maybe get the solar business fixed first? -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:27 4
  - It's not broken, but also not exactly going gangbusters. They've installed a lot, but appear to be switching to becoming a supplier - TWuG Mar 1, 14:43
  - We're having solar installed in a few weeks. The Tesla PowerWall system was the worst system offered to us, and at twice the price - Mr. Havens Mar 1, 14:30 2
    - Please let me know how it goes. We signed paperwork to do this before learning everyone in this area is a grifter. - David Mar 1, 14:39 1
      - That just means he hired a gay man as an installer. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 15:03
- For some reason, I have zero affinity for electric powerboats. - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:58 2 1
  - I wonder if they could give jet boats a run for the money. - TWuG Mar 1, 14:03 1
    - I don't think so? But I guess anything's possible. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:10
Does anyone remember this? I vaguely recall some kind of flash in the pan scavenger hunt thing from around then. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:35 [mastodon] 4
- I think it was GISHWHES -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:28
- yeah I do wasn't that geocaching? -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 13:46 1
  - No, something else. Geocaching is still around, this thing I'm vaguely recalling is not. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 14:11
- Tiktok wasn't original just dangerously stupid -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 13:43
I'm inching closer and closer to just @*&&ing buying EEAAO, but I can't bring myself to pay $19.99 for a digital movie. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 13:32 9
- Mom only made it 10 minutes. Thank God. -- nm - David Mar 1, 14:18
- Too bad we still can't share. It's one of the two movies I did buy in the last year. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 13:43 1
  - Yeah, I stopped buying when I got deep into streaming but I've found myself browsing the code sites again. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 13:51

- Fandom isn’t rational. - spamlet Mar 1, 13:33
I didn't get into the NYC Marathon by lottery. I've applied for charity fundraising entry through CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 13:11 4
- how do we help? where do we donate? (and this is my intermittent PSA to tell everyone to watch Brittany Runs a Marathon.) -- nm* - Andie Mar 1, 13:12 3
  - great movie -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 13:16
  - I had to apply to the charity. Trust me, if they accept my application I will definitely let ST know about fundraising. -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 13:15 1

a fine is just a price -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 12:41 5
- Is "kettling", by definition, violent? -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 13:07 4
  - cities don't generally pay out $22k a head for non-violent police practices -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 1, 13:12 3
    - Oh, I know. Just trying to understand the definition of the term. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 13:13 1
      - It's surrounding a crowd and forcing them into a small area instead of allowing them a path to disperse. It's inherently aggressive -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 14:01
    - x300! -- nm - Jovian Mar 1, 13:12
Re cutting the cable. I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy and he has a little business going for himself where he uploads some software to an - Loyola Mar 1, 12:36 6
- Yes, there's a pretty extensive underground market for modified Amazon Fire sticks. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 13:28
- Fine illegal or jail illegal? -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 12:42 4
  - I expect that if you're having people subscribe, that's bad for the subscriber (fine) but worse for the guy offering the service (i.e. prison time). -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 13:28
  - It must be slap on the wrist illegal because it’s in most pubs where I live. - Loyola Mar 1, 12:45 2
    - Do they still require licenses per tv? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 13:29 1

  - also, failing to make certain another person is not sexually assaulted by this person she worked through it with. - Epiphany aka sneaky link Mar 1, 13:12 3
    - I’m glad others are thinking what I was thinking. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 13:43 1
      - I had not thought of your last sentence but yes that is very scary for them. I'm of the mindset. Don't tell us if you aren't going to tell the police - Epiphany aka sneaky link Mar 1, 14:21
    - lol exactly -- nm - Jovian Mar 1, 13:14
Hmm. My dad just asked me if I want to go on a drive... to Jacksonville. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 12:15 35

    - no way you could do it in 48 hours. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 12:58 10
      - 5 or so ten-hour days -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:37
      - Each direction you could. Looks like 46 hours straight driving. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 13:11 8

        I actually put it into a better route planner and you could do it in a Tesla. - spamlet Mar 1, 13:36 3

        and not one slow down, or red light, or stop at the international border. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 13:35 1

      - it's more than 5000 km (3200 miles.) -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 13:00 2
        
        If that is both ways, then doable. *Tight*, but barely doable. - Spawn Mar 1, 13:05 1

        Maybe he just wants to *see* the sailboat? -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 13:44
