  1. As an employee of a studio, I can say this is exactly correct. Without the 20%-30% tax credits, productions won’t come to use the sound stages.
  2. I can confirm waking up this morning to thunder, lightning and heavy rain…. in L.A. wtf is happening to weather
  3. Hmmm, well whaddya know… NHTSA steps up Tesla investigation of phantom braking, crashes into emergency vehicles As of last month, NHTSA says it’s received 758 reports from folks claiming “unexpected brake activation” in their Model 3 or Model Y. Just today, the NHTSA said it’s upgrading the investigation from “probe” status to an “engineering analysis.” https://www.autoblog.com/amp/2022/06/09/nhtsa-investigation-tesla-phantom-braking/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKTn3hNxwOYEK5zkqZZKVDJoufxBKQ0VKbF4DX5_W9xlkiRgtGskLzdYmBUpAO-ZP1O62AiD6Uynwm404ybIWePhPJK6IHmRgSqMeYpsgzEFz2V8EBKZJFTBmDa-xKnZ-zDuR24Mmk9gWrau-DN63B4PhHSESd7_oW-CkaQQ6ewO
  4. Well yeah, it’s not a total preventative, but supposedly it makes symptoms milder or even non-existent. Given that I feel like complete shit today (fever, lost voice, aches, breathing difficulties, etc) I shudder to think what would have happened with no vax. Of course our 6 year old (vaccinated) has continuously tested negative while our 4 year olds (both ineligible for the vaccine) tested positive. So maybe it does help some people not get it?
  5. My other half came back from a convention in Vegas last week, and the we all (us and 3 kids) hopped in the car for a 5 hour trip up north. Welp, Vegas patient zero came down with it Saturday (after everyone who went to Vegas texting and saying they got it). By Monday 2 of the three kids tested positive. And then I tested positive Tuesday. it’s all just moderate cold symptoms so nothing too crazy. It’s basically settled in my throat now and I can’t talk. Some would say that’s for the best. The worst part is the kids being excluded from day care for the next two weeks. I was vaxed and double boosted so this shit is extremely contagious.
  6. Hey Elon, we took a road trip in our Model Y up to the Bay Area over Memorial Day and TWICE when we were going 80 on the interstate in cruise control the car suddenly slammed on its brakes for no fucking reason. Not only did it scare the shit out of us, it for sure scared the shit out of the people behind us. When I got home I googled it and sure enough: Tesla is under federal scrutiny for ‘phantom braking’ complaints https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2022-02-02/tesla-is-under-federal-scrutiny-for-phantom-braking-complaints?_amp=true So how about fixing your fucking cars before the kill someone (oh wait too late) instead of being concerned where Mary in Payroll is approving timesheets? God I can’t wait until the Rivian is delivered so we can sell this POS.
  7. Wouldn’t having 3 permanent rivals essentially equate to being in a pod?
  8. Not to mention how much of that $750m is skimmed off the top? 50%? 70%?
  9. Yeah it’s like the SEC is doing the “anti-NFL”. The NFL is successful for many reasons, but a main one is maintaining interest across the entire US through successful franchises in places like Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Boston, LA, Kansas City, etc. It’s not some walled-off garden where only a subset of regional teams have a chance to succeed. An SEC-only playoff is lose/lose. It further regionalizes interest while damaging the national appeal of CFB. It may be a short-term money gain for the SEC, but it’s likely a long-term loss for the sport.
  10. Both in looks and content I’m getting major Hunger Games vibes.
  11. Fucking phenomenal if true. Go on the offensive and damage Russia’s ability to fund the war. Hopefully more of Russia’s oil infrastructure is within striking distance of Ukraine.
  12. USC football coach Lincoln Riley scores in Rancho Palos Verdes New hire paid $17.2M for historic 13,000 sf estate, down from $19.5M ask The recent arrival from the University of Oklahoma got a seven bedroom, 12-bath estate at 909 Via Coronel, on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Dirt.com reported. https://therealdeal.com/la/2022/03/09/usc-football-coach-lincoln-riley-scores-in-rancho-palos-verdes/ Waiting for the comments on how shitty living in LA will be for Lincoln…
  13. I am honestly amazed you think the Russian people have any say in what is going on. Putin and his oligarch friends have complete control of everything (military, police, parliament, major corporations, etc). Dangling “NATO membership” in front of the Russian people is like eating a steak outside the window of the lion enclosure at the zoo. You’re sure the lion wants it, but the lion is completely aware of the electric fence, razor wire, and armed zookeepers, so…. Meh?
  14. The Putin-as-Hitler video of this conflict is going to be epic
  15. I actually think Utah/OSU would be a good game.
  16. No it’s Utah/OSU if Michigan wins. Iowa only goes if they win.
  17. Yup. I think it will also only the second time a P12 South team has won the championship since they split into divisions, which seems incredible. SC won a few years back.
  18. Lots of fans in the stands (which is a change for this game). Move to Vegas definitely a smart one.
  19. Someone needs to do a $ per win analysis on these salaries.
