Several of the global Disney parks besides California Adventure sell alcohol. Even in the original park, Disneyland, which has long had a nearly total ban on alcohol has relented and has started selling booze in limited venues (most notably, the Blue Bayou restaurant, which is a fantastic restaurant btw). Money talks, and booze is pretty good money.

Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

You'd 100% be selling overpriced alcohol in an adult-centric theme park. If Six Flags and even Disney have figure out how to do it safely (and very profitably, I'm sure), so can other theme parks.

This fraud has been known about and even covered fairly well by some news outlets. For example, check out the CNN special report, Trumping Democracy An American Coup, for a lot of details surrounding it and other aspects of Trump's attempts to retain power. It's been a while since I saw it, but if I recall correctly, a really cool thing about this report is that all/most of the politicians interviewed are Republicans. i.e. It's not just a Democrat-spun narrative.

Yes, there is NO limit on the number of bankruptcies you can file for. However, there are time limits between filling dates. Here's what a Forbes article mentions about it:

Just as there are different types of bankruptcy, there are different rules for how often you can file bankruptcy. The waiting period to file another bankruptcy case generally ranges from two to eight years, depending on the type of bankruptcy. In some situations, there may be no waiting period.

However, good luck getting creditors for years after filing for a bankruptcy. I imagine very few will trust you / loan you money, except for the most predatory (i.e. loan sharks). And if you did go with a predatory source, a future bankruptcy may not help you discharge the debt given predatory sources commonly operate outside of the law.

You can update the TVs settings to block these new large video ads. However, Amazon is getting more and more intrusive with its ads. I imagine that, similar to the Alexa Shows that I also use, every few weeks they'll tweak the ads, making your previous "disable this" settings no longer applicable. It's technically a new ad type, so they can auto enable it again. Super frustrating.

Largely in response to these new autoplay ads, I replaced my Fire TV with an LG TV. I've got another LG TV from only a few years ago that doesn't really have ads. This one.. does. Damn it. Don't get me wrong, they're much less in-your-face when compared to Amazon's ads. But, damn, does everything just have to be ads now?

I love that the printed "24 pack" label on the top right serves as the "24" slot. Great reuse!

My wife has tried several bra brands. She landed on Branwyn merino wool bralettes, which she loves. Very comfy and great airflow. I'll mention, she is smaller and prefers bralettes over more supportive bras, so your mileage might vary.

Popeyes makes an amazing chicken sandwich! (Assuming that's what you were getting from Chick-fil-A.) I might even enjoy it more than Chick-fil-A's.
