  5. I watched the first episode tonight, and it's pretty fun. The next two are already up as well.
  6. That's an odd reaction.
  7. I'm more of a Denny's guy, which also happens to be a little closer. Plus, there's the late-night nostalgia of going there with buddies back during our high school days.
  8. That's funny. After somehow missing out on Mythic Quest, I recently binged all 3-4 seasons. Really good show once you get past the first few episodes. /csb
  9. All true. Our KFC was a stand-alone. The Taco Hell shares a building with Long John Silver’s. As for the local fast-food chicken wars in this town, there's Chicken Express, Chick-fil-A, Golden Chick, Popeye's, and a local place called Gill's that’s been here forever. For the fried stuff, I usually go to the last one, which used to be a small regional chain, but I think it's the only one left. The Popeyes is out on the interstate on the other side of town, embedded in a truck stop with IHOP, so I tend not to get out there very often.
  10. I think I read that one just opened up in San Antonio a few months ago.
  11. It's weird how the "saviors of Western Civilization" always fantasize about societal collapse.
  12. It's incredible how badly they've gone downhill and fucked up something as simple as fried chicken, ruining their "brand" and having to close locations. We just lost our local one a few months ago, not that I'll miss it since I haven't had KFC for several years, but still. That place used to be the gold standard for basic fast food chicken, and now they're probably the worst of the bunch.
  13. I guess this is the right thread for this. Paramount to Lay Off 2,000 Employees The job cuts are the result of a merger with Skydance, the Hollywood studio founded by David Ellison. Paramount on Wednesday began laying off more than 2,000 employees, a long-awaited consequence of its merger with the Hollywood studio Skydance. The cuts, announced internally by David Ellison, Paramount’s chief executive, will initially include roughly 1,000 employees in the United States across many divisions, including CBS News, the Paramount film studio and cable networks like MTV, Nickelodeon and BET. The rest of the cuts, some of which will affect Paramount’s international employees, will come later. Overall, Paramount is planning to cut roughly 10 percent of the combined company. In a memo to employees Wednesday, Mr. Ellison said that the cuts were focused on eliminating redundant jobs or phasing out positions not in keeping with Paramount’s evolving priorities. β€œThese decisions are never made lightly, especially given their effect on our colleagues who have made meaningful contributions to the company,” Mr. Ellison said in the memo. Paramount employees, who have been subjected to near-annual corporate reorganizations, have been bracing for layoffs for months. When Skydance announced its merger with Paramount last year, the company said it was looking for $2 billion in synergies, Wall Street argot for cost-cutting. Mr. Ellison signaled earlier this year that major changes were coming. In September, he sent a memo telling employees they would be expected to return to the office five days a week in the coming months. Employees unwilling or unable to return to the office would be eligible for a severance package, he said. Some of Paramount’s most senior employees have already announced their departures as the layoffs have drawn near. Pam Kaufman, the head of Paramount’s international business, told employees in September she was leaving after more than a quarter-century. Chris Aronson, the president of U.S. distribution for Paramount Pictures, said this month that he would be departing in December. Successive waves of layoffs have become the new normal in Hollywood as executives merge companies and try to wring out billions in costs after those deals close. The specter of further cuts has been the talk of Hollywood in recent days as Mr. Ellison plans a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, HBO and the Warner Bros. film studio.
  14. Yeah, I recall that getting posted a week or so ago. Not only does disinfo poison our neighbors' brains, but also computers' algos.
