These places have their goods and bads.

Disney in the past weren't nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren't perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.

Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They're no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven't felt it was worth the money in a long time.

Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.

Growing up in southern California. Disneyland was common, and so common that I ended up working there. It's changed a lot in the last twenty years.

I still go to Disneyland regularly, but it's always because I know someone that can still get me and my family in. I'm fortunate that I haven't paid to go to Disneyland in over 16 years, and I've been hundreds of times. Now, I typically get disappointed when I'm there. I've seen the parks go downhill and the prices go way, way up.

I've been to Sea World growing up, since it was a two hour drive. And Lego Land. And Six Flags.

It's not the parks that are spoiled, it's the flights and hotels that make these things wild trips for spoiled kids.

IMO, they should go through the entire training and then a day or two of doing at least one of the top 3 employed jobs at the company.

Whether that's stocker, cashier, or whatever.

No one should know they are corporate, but I've trained new manager for my stores before when I worked retail. Truthfully, they are just people trying to get through the day. It didn't matter they were my bosses they got trained and treated literally the exact same as any of my other trainees.

It's not larping, it's not PR, it's literally just understanding core areas of the business so that any decisions they make they have context on what it will actually impact. As management, I've specifically gone out of my way to sit and shadow people so that I can understand their job and try and identify challenges they face. And if it was within my power or knowledge to explore a solution I would.

She makes no mention of the hand covering up the other actresses face either.

I keep staring at the original, trying to figure out what she's trying to communicate. I've seen the Broadway musical. I know the story. The vacant expression just doesn't fit. It doesn't convey any emotion I associate with the character.

I think there is a big difference between a single room pod that is coming from Walmart and the entire house that Sears sold to be built on site.

These feels like tech bro bullshit to "disrupt" the housing market.

(H)Okay so....

Just make it a toggle to highlight shit. On and off.

I used to play games that permanently highlighted interactive objects. I am playing a game, I don't need realism.

Data vs compute

It's easy to send all the data in an x mile radius of the players position. Or to identify the players position, speed, camera angle, etc. render it all, compress it, and then send the computer, rendered, video fees.

What benefit would streaming plane models have?

Landscape and real time weather data makes sense. Things are changing and it doesnt make sense to have high res textures of the entire planet on users PCs. Or are you just meaning on demand download of the skin?

It made sense with t9 texting. Smartphones have easy to use keyboards and autocorrect. No reason to still type like you have to make 7 or 8 key presses to type "you."

But he can't unless he's given permission. So until that happens, the answer is "no."

It felt ramped way up over the last two. I like the humor, it was just turned up to 11.

Yep. I was disappointed watching it. Too much breaking the 4th wall and self referential humor.

Not who you responded to, but I did this to an engine after tearing it apart 3 years before.

It's a weird skill, just being mechanically inclined and a bit ADHD to know how shit just works and goes together.

I remember a study that linked car colors with people's perception of the economy or something. When people were optimistic, they bought brighter colors.

But all I want is fun brought back to cars. Give me neon, pastels, or bright colors. I'm sick of the monotony on the road of white, gray, and black. Even the reds and blues are darker and deeper. Give me a nice surf green or candy apple red.

Families wouldn't include the commercial buildings.

They could split the number and say residences and businesses separately. Or combine them and say customers. Especially since that number likely is reported by the power company itself and the company will use customer and everyone else will just be quoting them.

My parents put in a stair lift. I'd expect more are doing something like that where they are a few thousand bucks. But you still need to be able to transfer to/from the seat. It doesn't accommodate a wheelchair.

It's not such an extravagant purchase when it's the only way my father could make it up and down from his bedroom.

Final fantasy changed some core gameplay elements that, unfortunately for me, took them away from games I wanted to play.

I like turn based combat. I liked relatively straight forward leveling and character/weapon progressions. I liked essentially a single gimmicky system like materia. Or the card games in 8.

I hate the full action battles all the time now. It feels like the game is much more intense and twitchy. It ruins the pace of the story for me. It used to be something I would read my way through, explore at my own pace, take a journey. Stories aren't always fast action, and that's what I feel like the more modern battle system make the game feel like.

"Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame"

Thanks. Its a bit old school Romero dawn of the dead feel. Focus on zombies, mostly.

I've got audio tracks that play various radio news broadcasts of zombie events that play through the cars stereo.

I've also cut together local tv news segments together, but haven't figured out where I can have a TV playing it though. I wanted to have the garage open and set up like a zombie survivalist bunker with HAM radios playing messages from other survivors too.
