Always nice when all my reps are backwards boomer jackasses that don't make any attempt to represent me or my generation. I wish all congresspersons be forced to retire and prevented from reelection when they reach a certain age.
Corporations get tax breaks from cities based on expected work population and its resulting economic impact on the local economy. Without people in the office, these tax breaks become legally in jeopardy as the city could argue the company hasn't lived up to its agreement.
And a lot of execs have money in corporate real estate, which, as you can imagine, has lost some value in the last few years.
Had to happen sometime. Sad to see it come, but Charles has had a hell of a run. He will continue to be the template for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi for the rest of the characters' existence.
Very much, in my mind, like any new Looney Tunes voice actors are just trying to sound like Mel Blanc.
It'll be great to hear Charles' influence for years to come, even if he's not doing (or doing less of) the performances anymore.
Surely you're all running with the same security policy, agents, and account permission constraints (e.g. no local admin) as all your Windows counterparts so you have a true comparison?
This could totally get me to finally get going and build a new gaming rig.
I wish the team luck. I'm sure it's not am easy task, looking at other, similar projects like Black Mesa, but the demo is stunning. Would love to see what Ravenholm looks like...
The scary answer is they don't think about it. I'm sure many of them genuinely believe it is the best way forward and their legacy will be secured in the future. To them, the ends justify the means.
Perhaps some of them will have a change of heart later in life, but the damage will have already been done at that point.
Then again, there are other Rs that have been this way their entire lives and show no sign of stopping their hate anytime soon (McConnell, for example), so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Still a Waze junkie after years and years, but considering the switch to iOS later this year and would be nice to have something actively being developed to compare against, but also to fall back on if Google decides to combine the Maps and Waze team and kills off Waze entirely, which is looking ever more likely. (Google Maps is very poor in directions and UI, in my experience.)
The answer is logistics. That's a very broad and boring answer, but it's just the way it is.
UPS is one of, if not the largest airline in the world. Their package tracking and logistics framework is well developed.
UPS, in WorldPort (and FedEx from just a short distance away), have positioned a hub that allows a huge amount of freight in; for it to be sorted cheaply, efficiently, and quickly; and for those planes to get back out the same night. I forget the exact statistic, but the Louisville airport is a 2 hour flight or less to 75% of the US population in the continental US. So for a plane to fly in, unload, refuel, reload, and fly back can be done for 3/4 of every major population center in the US with a single flight crew rotation.
Sounds crazy, but WorldPort has (had?) an average package sort speed of 13 minutes. So turnaround is fast. But of it's a two day package, it can sit for a few hours at WorldPort and take a later plane.
Then from there, as the planes return, ground transport takes over. Ground shipping can also cover a lot of area for a two day shipment, so air transit isnt always needed.
Looks looks a fun popcorn movie. Still haven't watched the Ms Marvel series, though. Wonder if the backstory will be that important.
The worst part about that trailer, in my opinion, was the massacre of the Beastie Boys for that crappy remix. (Side note: didn't MCA forbid use of Beastie Boys music in ads in his will when he passed?)
Following up -- I wouldn't say it's a perfect film, but it is a damn good blockbuster, and I really enjoyed it. One death I really didn't like, and as a huge fan of the actor's previous work was looking forward to seeing them more in these next two films.
