Private equity has ruined nearly all sports. The only solution is to go see the lowest levels of the sport, before this sort of insane money has entered the conversation.

Are you suggesting that a 2 prong power strip/extension cord would be illegal? Because they definitely sell those.

If you take them apart like OP, I wonder if they are really grounded.

That’s not generally how they are sold. A power strip looks like this. A surge protector is grounded.

Lightyear (2022) had a trailer that is straight up false advertising. The trailer shows him contacting Star Command, something that never occurs in the movie. Still bitter about that.
Battle Los Angeles (2011) probably the biggest gap between the trailer’s quality and the film’s quality I’ve ever seen.
Giglie (2003), a movie on a lot of lists for being one of the worst of all time. The story behind it is that Ben Affleck and J-Lo got together during filming. The problem is, it wasn’t a romcom. J-Lo’s character was a lesbian. But because the of their real life romance, they rewrote the ending so the two get together.

It’s a power strip not a surge protector.

You could just explore a place via street view, but how old are those images?
They have dates in the corner.

This is incredibly depressing, but also what if that’s bad for animals and bugs and stuff? Seems like it could cause serious problems all the way up the food chain.

Yes. Don’t let pessimism stop you from voting.
Fingers are already on the scale in tons of ways, like gerrymandering, the electoral college, etc. But they can’t gerrymander away an overwhelming 1 sided victory. Votes still count. Even if fingers are on the scale.

Think of the efficiency. You can microwave your hot pockets while on the toilet. No reason to ever get up.

The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.
That’s broadcast TV. The major networks (ABC/NBC/CBS) had censors. Cable gets away with a lot more, and if it’s streaming only there are basically no rules.

Just ask people want they want to be called? There’s no list that’s going to be perfect in every situation.

Depends on the storytelling style. If you turned Forrest Gump into a TV show you could probably get 20-30 hours worth.

What the cops in NYC do is they wedge a leaf in the plate frame, so there’s always a leaf partially blocking 1 letter.
They also taught a lion to eat bugs.
