  1. I'd love to see a resurgence of real IMAX screens, instead of all the slightly-bigger LieMAX screens that have been built the last 10-15 years. That's certainly a clear value-add over what you're getting at home.
  2. 10 million people in Sweden vs ~5.5 million per country for the other three is definitely similarly sized.
  3. Keeping the planes in one piece doesn't change the fact that Trump just ended our right to fly them over Russian airspace.
  4. Most of his songs that he's famous for were written in the 60s. They shouldn't even still be under copyright.
  5. Trump is reportedly planning a made-for-TV exit on Air Force One from the White House to a rally on Inauguration Day, hoping to pull viewers from Biden WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM Trump is reportedly considering breaking democratic tradition by boycotting Joe Biden's inauguration and staging a rally instead.
  6. Not if Putin is holding the kompromat over your head now that you've lost the election.
  7. Uh, apparently this happened on November 22 and we somehow never posted about it? US formally withdraws from Open Skies Treaty that bolstered European security WWW.CNN.COM The US on Sunday formally exited the decades-old Open Skies Treaty, some six months after President Donald Trump first announced the decision, according to the State Department. Trump’s Dismantling of the ‘Open Skies’ Surveillance Program Is a Priceless Gift to Russia – InsideSources WWW.INSIDESOURCES.COM If Vladimir Putin had only two wishes left for his Russian operative in the White House before the end of his term, the first would be to further erode
  8. I still see people complaining about the restrictions in California on the basis of "Florida's open and they're doing fine!" My ex was one of them before our breakup over the summer when we were fighting about how she was rushing to want to do things that really weren't safe and I'm sure she's still doing stupid shit and using it as a justification. So the negative effects of this bullshit are definitely not confined to just Florida.
  9. This is also something I tend to not think too hard about unless I'm playing a game and the default feels unnatural. I think it's more about whether I'm on a mouse or gamepad joystick? I'm pretty sure I'm always up is up on a mouse, but that it depends on what I'm doing on a joystick? I think on joysticks it's up is up for first person stuff, or third person but you're still aiming a gun or something off the camera, but inverted for camera control on a third person view...but again, I'd have to actually sit down and play a bunch of stuff to tell you for sure.
  10. Isn't part of the whole QAnon thing that Trump is intentionally acting like a moron to get the deep state's guard down?
  11. Actually I think the first time it happened I actually leaned across the bar and asked the bartender if the amount I was handing over was okay for the situation, because it was probably like a $60-$70 tab and I had no idea what to do beyond the basic idea of "hand over cash". Which in hindsight probably endeared me to the staff even more--initially it was one guy who I recognized from a crossfit class, then it branched out into most of the behind the bar people knowing me.
  12. My floor for table service is $3. I'm with you on $1 a beer though. The weirdest one to figure out was this place where I became a regular and they'd routinely just comp my entire tab. It was beer, but the comps...it's been a long time now but I think I settled on laying down cash for what the pretax would have been if they'd actually rung me up (erring on the side of preferring going over if I'd lost track of what that would have been). Maybe like slightly less, e.g. lay down $50 if pretax would have been $60? Either I remember having to make a point of showing up with extra cash than I'd necessarily normally carry when I'd go there. Especially since when it was slower one guy in particular would start pouring me free shit unprompted, "dude you have to try this you'll love it"! I do tips on pretax though. In Los Angeles County the tax is right around 10% (varies slightly depending on city) so it's easy to just double the tax.
  13. What do you do as a minimum? As in, if 20% would be super low because the base amount was super low.
