I feel like this is a symbol of the difference between the Eisner and the Iger CEO tenures. Eisner built out a massive expansion of the parks under his leadership, doubling the gates in Anaheim and Orlando while planning international expansion. Iger didn’t, choosing smaller expansions with premium experiences over capacity expansions.

It is part of the reason that Universal has been able to grow so much, Disney doesn’t have the capacity that it needs to meet high end theme park demand.

Storage units are great at generating revenue with little labor cost. You can run a giant multi story complex with a single person on site.

It is a show of its time. Seinfeld revolutionized a lot regarding what sitcoms could be, but it was still operating somewhat in the rules of the time.

Regarding the laugh track, every US sitcom of the era was filmed in front of a live audience. It goes back to the tradition of the medium where it was meant to be a remote viewing of a play which oddly stuck with sitcoms.

There is also ability for external filtering.

It is easy to buy additional software to restrict websites. That equipment doesn’t work for most video games.

The complaints about the arms industry/the cost of war has been around since recorded history.

AI server farms has only been around for a few years.

And compared to Birdemic, it is bad in a good way.

I mean, you shouldn’t piss on hospitality like that.

They had to build the main set twice because of a hurricane.

Tom Selleck wants my house when I die.

But the magical box has changed shape and change is scary.

It’s amazing how many people like Trump and his entourage. After all, they’re fucking immature assholes.

I have a bachelor’s degree and technical master’s degree in the field I’m working in. The master’s degree has been useful in my line of work. I wouldn’t get a doctorate in my field because I don’t want to do research, even if it would be cool crashing trucks into barriers.

Kind of conflicted?

I’m fine with the idea of exchange of money for sexual services. I don’t have any moral qualms with that practice.

My concern is that, even in some legal structures, it tends to encourage the preditation of some sex workers for the benefits of others exploiting people’s sexual labor.

Was it ever easy?

Big if true.

It isn’t even just the performance and bloat issues or the AI.

As you hinted, Windows 11 made a lot of changes to the UI. I can’t think of a single change made which I liked as someone who has had to deal with Windows since before 95. Windows 11 felt like a downgrade from Windows 10.

You’ve got a lot of managers with purchasing authority who developed a ton of muscle memory on old Windows. The new UI changes have made Windows feel alien enough that you can’t use retraining costs as an excuse to keep with Windows.

Windows 11.1.1 for desktops?

This wasn’t built to be a great service, it was built to be a French controlled one.

It is easier to get the public to accept they don’t have a safety driver involved at all with this middle step.
