1. There are no big cities in Norway
2. Touristed places are touristed for a reason. Like, the Eiffel tower is touristed...but it's the Eiffel tower.
3. In June/July you'll optimize for most daylight and lowest chance of rain and most glorious sunshine.
4. I don't know if cruises have hikes scheduled but summer is the only window for some popular routes that would otherwise be snow-covered or require guides (eg Trolltunga)
5. Keep in mind many of the 'oh my god' photos you see are from drones or mountain tops, like those of Senja and Lofoten. From ground level you'll have nice views...but not the same postcard views.

Compare the resume/filmography depth of the producers and showrunners of the other SW live action shows: they've all done action/fantasy series.
Disney annointing Headland was their version of a Darko Milicic draft pick.

I dont wholly fault Disney. Its a natural response to defend your product when it goes sour. They simply followed where they thought the money will be, and when it turned out the show was a flopped, they pulled the plug.
It is a media thing, where they are over-represented by fanatic ideologues wielding 'bigotry' as a cudgel. Or they amplify the voices of those who are. Because it isnt just with the Disney/SW products -- remember Captain Marvel? Ghostbusters reboot? Hell, remember Charlie Strong Texas Football?
The arbiters of good taste and exemplary morals says no, no, it's not that the product is bad causing your dislike, it must be your latent hatred of xxx marginalized groups....in this case millionaire producers, actors, and coaches. And if that is in fact true for 1 person out of a hundred million, that'll be the cherry they pick to poison the well for everyone else.
Ignore those 'negative shitbags' and let them wallow in their self-righteousness.

We ended up in Crikvenica this summer. It was insanely hot. Pros are calm waters, no waves, perfect for the kids. Cons are all rocky beaches, no sands. Might hit up the Black Sea next summer just to change it up a bit.

If not, is "girls" actually derogatory or offensive in every context when referring to an adult female?
no, fuck no, and anyone who believes it is a cunt.
language is flexible and thus its interpretation malleable: it depends on speaker, audience, formality, and other context. whether its offensive is like porn: you'll know it when you see it.
we have social contest at work tracking volunteered step-count to encourage fitness. tallies are compared against different work teams, buildings, but also between "guys" vs "girls". nobody is offended. its a casual way to refer to a group without needing to be all corpo-formal about it.
that said, if i was referring to the fact that a colleague in specific did something, i wouldn't call that person a "girl", nor would i call her a "woman" in the same manner i wouldnt call out a "man" either. the gender serves no purpose for that use so i would simply say "a clerk is pulling that for me".

Not sure how they get away with cleaning up in the comedy class at the Emmys. This isn't a comedy.
Well, award shows are stupid. Top Gear won a best "non-scripted TV show" at the International Emmys and people have ever since used that to argue that the shows preposterous stunts arent contrived

Dang. I cant believe Disney eschewed all the shows commercial and viewership success and caved in to bigotry pressure instead. Shame.

The upside to all of this is jimmyjazz starting to learn how to find data (which he and comrades first dismissed as numerical gish gallop).
Once he learns basic logic and how to interpret them, he might even…turn “fascist”.
Theres hope yet.

goddamn doggah - my little princess - tore her ACL and shes at the age where surgery isnt really recommended.
a month ago, when she showed distress, the stupid smalltown bumfuck vet where we were at did a shit examination and concluded it was merely a sprain. she hides her pain well, and didnt show any affects after that. i feel really guilty for dragging her around the lake last weekend. today with our normal home vet they said it was a clear tear 😪

I also don't see anyone talking about the proposal to take away tax incentives for corporate investors buying up swaths of single family homes. I've thought for a while that this needs to be looked at as one contributing factor in rising home prices. Curious if anyone's seen much analysis on what's being proposed.

QuoteIf you’re in the market to buy or rent, does it make a difference if the owner/landlord is a corp or an individual?
And how do these corp just “mark up homes in bulk” if the price don’t take. Are these levered companies going to let the houses sit unoccupied while bleeding cashflow? The houses go back on the sales market, or increases the rent supply relative to sales supply
The pool of property and the pool of occupants hasnt changed. Whats going to most affect housing affordability is….building more housing.

Speaking of cardio, Duplesis was looking ragged in the later rounds.
Like he could barely throw a punch at one point.
And Adesanya was toying with him over and over.
Throwing punches that came to a stop an inch from his face every time.My inner conspiracy theorist says the quick tapout was just setting up a huge $$$ trilogy fight.
That's exactly how both of them fight in all of their prior fights.
Adesanya looks great at point fighting because he is great at point fighting. His last slobberknocker was Gastelum and that was over 5 years ago. The few times he gets hit he hides it well.
Pereira and father time added a lot of wear to that chin, so now when he gets tagged by 'weird' pressure fighters like Strickland or DDP he runs away... a lot more compromised than he looks.
12 championship fights is a lot of PPV $$$ and his ego is way too large to throw away a fight.

Being stupid as shit, but I am pondering purchasing an 82/83 280ZX. Had one that I traded in on a Maxima in 1986 because the T tops kept getting stolen. Man, I love driving that car though. Lot of fun to drive.
Yes ZX.

I've never done a cruise, ever, but it might be the better way to get a snapshot of the whole country.
I would normally recommend driving, but Norway is longgggcat -- same as Vancouver to San Diego -- and most of the major road (E6) is single lane 80kmh limit. You'd have to fly, drive, fly, drive, to hit the major stops.
