  1. I like it too. Three years. If he does great he’ll make more. At this price that leaves $25-28 million for another top player or two instead of what Dak will make. He’ll get a reup for more in three.
  2. I really am tired of Nancy Silverton. I also don’t get Marcus Samuelson. His fashion sense is so weird being an eyhiopian who grew up in Sweden before he ko ed here. He now dresses like various stereotypical AA characters. Might be lawn jockey. Might be zoot suit. Tonight he dressed like a shoeshine boy.
  3. The signal. German space sci-fi. It kinda sucks.
  4. I’m looking for Voltaggio to win now. I hope Crista Luedtke gets whacked and never comes back. Shes awful.
  5. I had her as the winner on my bracket. I hated seeing her lose. I wanted her to be the first Iron Chef, Top Chef, ToC winner
  6. You missed a couple things. 1. Mustard. French’s yellow. On the bun. 2. Weapon. It just completes the still life with WT101
  7. The Hustler is a way better movie than Color of Money. Lots of great movies listed in thread, very few I disagree with. I am glad we haven’t seen the dreaded “sport not a sport” painful essay come up.
  8. I agree with this and I stupidly forgot about it for some reason.
  9. That Indian guy is such an annoying dweeb I would have probably dragged his ass into the ocean and drownded him. Just shut the fuck up. I thought that whole immunity idol ruse just turned into an elaborate high school mean girl contraption that wasn’t really necessary. The show’s primary issue seems to be its now mostly players who are superfans who don’t play the real game as good as they imagined they would at home. Traitors just wrapped up and Sandra and Parvati were on it. Seems like it’s been a while since we had that level of player.
  10. This is an underappreciated post. Those who worked fast food in a joint with hot chicks at the counter likely had all kinds of hot monkey sex. In high school I learned everything sex in my stints at McDonalds and Zantigo. Late nights closing led to mayhem. Manager buys beer. It’s 2am and you’re 16 and you can get lucky with that 20 yr old mom who wants a little fun before going home. Or have a quick make out session in the walkin with the hot chick that goes to Catholic school. Or get a quickie in the basement. There were some benefits to go with $2.05 an hour.
  11. 1. Field of Dreams 2. Heart Like a Wheel 3. Bull Durham 4. Tin Cup 5. Hoosiers
  12. Andy Reid father of the year. His home in Philly was a drug den according to court records for his son’s drug trials. Reid and his wife enabled their sons’ drug addiction and that’s why one is dead and the other an unrepentant addict. I’ve been around too much death and tragedy from addictions and enablement is not how they are prevented. It causes them. The Chiefs should have told Reid he needed to find his son a job elsewhere. Instead he destroys a family member. He already got a reduced sentence against a reduced charge. And now it’s commuted and he served 16 months. I will bet Andy Reid tries to bring him back.
  13. Bob can eat a bag of dicks. Such a moron. His opinions are typically just emotional reactions vs wise hsos. Blithering idiot fits well.
  14. At this point everyone should be on a one year deal. Fat Mike, Zimmer, Dak. Let’s see how they either win or all goes away.
  15. It’s obviously a massive fuckup.
  16. This should have been better than it was but the writing sucked in the last three. We thought fucking Issa Lopez wrote it. So the location was Ireland because Jamie Dornan refused to go back to Australia and wanted to stay near the family for filming.
  17. Same here. It wasn’t on max either. But it was on discovery+ no commercials.
  18. A stock valuation has little to do with the actual nightmares of operating a chain of thousands of stores housing a rapidly expiring inventory. Having been a part of large multi unit retail, the general biz school diktat of Soviet style centralized operations and customer interfaces delivers varying versions of a Moscow GUUM store. The need has been for a more decentralized store/time/situational approach that equates to the flexibility of smaller operations. Most large retailers these days are flailing because they can’t get out of their own way, and are run by finance guys that couldn’t sell pussy to a troop train.
  19. Rumor is Larry ends up in jail like the Seinfeld finale, or is killed off.
  20. Great reporter who refused to go down the yelling and screaming path at ESPN. Died too young. Steven Smith and Skip Bayless should be the ones passing.
  21. It’s not about that. Raising prices isn’t the path to higher profits in retail. It’s about cash flow, labor and food costs, rents, a whole lot of wheels to turn. If you have a store that has solid lunch and terrible dinner hours this enables that store to have specials to attract business. This isn’t anything new. Do you complain at your independent Chinese or TexMex joint that has a lunch menu with the same enchilada plate for the dollars less than dinner. Do you whine at the Italian joint with a shrimp special on the board because it’s not servable tomorrow night? This has been a part of retail forever and technology will simplify pricing and inventory. For a national retailer it takes a lot to do the analytics on promotions. What will be the lift to make the cost of the promotion affordable. Cutting the price on a hot item might drive footsteps but does it drive bottom line. Since they don’t teach real retail in business school, it’s called the “monkey fuckin the skunk”. It feels good but you can only stand so much of it. Retailers are too busy trying to stay in business in razor thin margins and get workers to come in as scheduled to make stupid “let’s fuck the customer” strategeries”.
  22. You realize raising prices at lunchtime would be the dumbest business move ever in restaurant history, right? This was the result of some stupid marketing person that likely doesn’t even eat burgers writing this. Rideshare surge is a result of limited resource (drivers) and too much short term demand (riders). The alternatives are shitty too. So it’s intended to attract more drivers to the area. Wendy’s are generally in fast food forests with tons of competitors. If you raise prices while people are in line they will leave. And not come back. National multi unit megachains have issues with quick pivoting. AI allows a dream scenario where each store can adapt to factors of inventory, labor, demand on a granular level and make specials on the fly to drive revenue or reduce costs. Another instance of innovation that benefits consumers and employees being hammered by a hysterical media and luddites./z
  23. Jerry would have drafted him as a shortstop. Going all in. Like he went all in on that girls mama. Stephen and Charlotte will be arranging some weird accidents soon to stop additional bimbo breakouts.
