Fedora lifecycles are far shorter than Debian and UbuntuLTS. They do not have to be the distro that initiates this change, as other distros plan long-term vision much further than a single year per version.
If they want to speed up, they should contact their contemporaries for orchestration.

Over time they've had four. The SF Giants and LA Dodgers were from Upper Manhattan and Brooklyn respectively before moving to the west coast. The Yankees were a Baltimore team that moved in and disrupted the other two. The Mets were made their departures left sad NL fans who didn't want the Yankees.

I'm down for it because it makes MK less of a slightly-more-corporate clone of Disneyland, putting something that isn't in any other park in a place that was serving as Disneyland++ for 50 years.
Walt wasn't even too enthused about MK because it was a do-over, a bait to get people to EPCOT etc.

I would presume they have/want government contracts of some kind.

They had a strike about people's performances being captured for generative performances simply as a condition of being in the studio's production.
They still claimed to support performers rights to sell the likeness of their performance as a licensed asset, and that's what James Earl Jones did.

Like maybe they could have tossed Jones from the union for doing this when he was alive for crossing the people who made money as his stand-ins. But it's too late for that, and the union "supports members right to sell their digital likeness" even if they also hate seeing it actually used.

The problem is that Disney and Jones both knew they were doing this so that Vader would sound like Jones with new dialogue for generations to come. The problem is there's also a cottage industry of impersonators still alive and the union has to represent them even if they're not really feeling it.

I don't see how Epic is responsible for Disney and Jones having an agreement. Like it's really more his estate acting out his intentions here.

I was living a fairly insular life and not paying attention to trends in music in the late 90s. I think I finally listened to Nookie just before Hybrid Theory hit and LP became the numetal band of the hour.

Honest question: Would they have made it big if not for killing Corporate Woodstock? They did launch an album weeks before.
The only time I saw this band was at a WrestleMania when they performed a song that was meant for this album but was so bad that they actually left it off the final product.

For whatever it's worth, I'm not sitting above it all proposing ideas that won't affect me. I'm in the affected group. I just think it's a powerful motivator to get a job if you reach 26 (when ACA cuts you off your parents insurance) and still haven't.

My counter is that work requirements are already in place for other programs like SNAP/TANF administered by the same agencies to some of the same people. It just needs simplifying.
But I get the argument that it costs more to find people to kick off. I rarely used Medicaid fearing it was temporary.

If "almost everyone who receives Medicaid and can work is already working" then not many people are at risk? Even in your hypotheticals at the end, you invented two people working jobs and a third who is disabled.

I'd guess they were hoping Meta or The One-Letter Company would make an offer.
The real question is why they're not forced to separate YouTube, considering that's Google getting into the business of not just indexing or sponsoring content, but producing a platform for their ads.

What I discovered was that Ecobee had the better thermostat mechanically (lower differential, possibly better software) but they are weirdly resistant to putting Matter on any of them.
Whereas my Nest non-learning has Matter but it's shoddy and Home Assistant support is mid to bad.

I think Red Tails was held as some sort of litmus test as to whether a cast of Black actors can draw enough to cover a blockbuster budget, which it didn't succeed at. Adjusted for inflation Sinners is a more expensive movie and there's this belief it's doomed because we've seen this before.

Worse than WM9?
Come to think of it, our city can't finish a WM worth a damn.

That and charging money for the Hello World software that teaches you how the hardware works is insane.

True, but in an era of all titles everywhere and the exclusive being a dead idea, Nintendo games remain this silo available to their own player. They're a larger exception to market logic than previously, and a huge number of people have played their newest games in emulators in the past decade.

"Well it's almost All-Star Break and we have a few more splash hits than San Francisco had in 25 years..."

If you create a timeless hit, I can see it mattering just because of how everything is milked for nostalgia and those IP rights are important.
Tarantino has a similar deal, it won't trigger for a while but it's to ensure he keeps generating passive revenue for his kids after he's dead.

Zaslav has been splitting every production with an outside party, so I'm thinking the concern here could be that parties could go insolvent or just squat on rights?
You're a toku guy, best co.parison I've got is when 20th Century's MMPR movie was in license hell because Disney owned the IP.

Used to, but my local station was mismanaging funds on leadership's personal projects and nearly went bankrupt. At this point I'd rather see fewer stations with larger reach.

A second, lower rope was added shortly after this. The netting we're accustomed to by 66.

They deliberately call him "Lord" in English instead of "Don" (a nod to Don Corneo of FF7 most likely) simply due to perception.

Aside from Six Flags being folded into Cedar Fair, that license is with Warner, because there was a time Six Flags was owned by Warner in the mid 90s.

Remember that Universal is currently caught with a chunk of theme park based on aging depiction of Marvel properties that they only maintain to keep Disney from using Marvel in Florida.
Being able to turn the non-Potter/Jurassic side of IOA into DC would be big.

DC to Universal would be a huge step up IMO.

That trend is way older than a decade. I will say the person who drove into people where I live has wasted many years in court trying to stave off murder charges, undergoing psychiatric evaluations, etc.

There's no common agenda. Progressives will turn off someone who agrees with them about immigration if they don't agree on financial reform, and vice versa. There will always be a large array of smaller audiences, especially among people who are anti-marketing/commercialism in the first place.

At least they can take solace in that they're probably still here. The defendant is currently putting the 'dead' in deadbeat.

I also wanted to add that Southern Barrens was fun, but the player (who usually has no agency in the narrative) being the one to blame the goblins for Bael Modan was... interesting.
For a while Twinbraid was my most hated minor character. Was happy when Wrathion flagged him as an obstacle.

I don't understand the need to raise people up like that. Do like the Peter Pan ride and seat them at an upper level and gradually let the floor drop away.

I've been running Bazzite for a month and it's pretty much no-fuss, quietly updating itself and it's components silently. If you don't use Adobe apps, or avoid select esport online games (Riot, Bungie, and basically the entire Battle Royale market), you rarely feel like you've given up anything.

The pinstriped mural on that building was neat enough that it drew attention to the fact that you can't go in. I'm surprised I've never seen a recreation.
This sign was like the king of attractions laying dead in public sight. Now Tomorrowland track is aiming for 25y with no end in sight.

Currently seated for the Gundam movie. Hopefully the nonsense will be over by the time I get back home.

I forgot that one of the Eisner era Pooh films had a "new" heffalump villain song full of trippy visuals. Try as they might, they couldn't compare with the LSD going around the offices in 1977.

DT EX1/2 are like my idealized 'midcore'. One's an straightforward fight of "watch and play" mechanics you don't need a raidplan for, with lower tolerance of deaths. The other's a more complex fight you can still finish with a whole lot of deaths.
