The primary issue for Stargate has been budget. WandaVision had 5 times the budget of The Expanse.

They need a show runner that can manage to get this done in the around or under 2milly an episode budget range for me to get any hope of this happening and sticking.

Hulu is the only one I wish they would keep because logging in to Disney to watch Alien and ESPN still seems really wrong to me. I would prefer the Disney app be 100% kid friendly and Hulu be for everything else.

In theory if we tied the salary of congress to the minimum wage the minimum wage would go up.

In practice the income of a congressperson is tied to their morality. Not their salary.

Not everyone has good role models. Would you rather people get advice from Andrew Tates or Grok? Because you might want it to be someone other than those options but right now that is what a lot of people are picking between and we have no way of reaching and stopping them from picking poorly. As awful as Grok is, it manages to be somehow better than the other options.

The bar is not that AI needs to be right. It just needs to be more right than the employee willing to do the job for the price it costs.

People have been bad at their jobs for years. Now computers can be to.

The point is that when every place you travel has a charging station you no longer need to ever stop for gas or to charge. Every stop just includes the charge. We can never do that with gasoline.

My biggest problem with my EV is that I was stupid to get the service pack as it never has any service needs. Breaks last twice as long. No oil changes. No critical fluids other than wiper fluid. The easiest to fail part is the 12v battery which is standard for any car. If something hard to replace fails it is going to be a sensor and I've had that happen on a gas car before and no one had it in stock because no one stocks random sensors.

The people who reference Dunning-Kruger often vastly overestimate how competent they are at statistics.

The color is better but why is this needed? Why on a TV show budget would you chose to put the people most likely to be in a fight scene or show physicality into even more prosthetics and makeup.

This should have been done as a part of a movie budget that the show had to then deal with like it was the first time around.

The average tax income from billionaires in california looks to be around 10million a year. So combined the about 200 billionaires in california are paying 2 billion a year. Rough numbers would be that is 150 of them left then the one time tax would start being a negative income in 10 years. That assumes money stays flat.

Honestly there is no way that this ends up being a serious net negative and these folks are still operating in California enough that they may fail to avoid residency review.

I think his music all was taken off the air as well.

It's not to look attractive, it is so you can have fun looking the way you want. That goes for both situations. A side consequence is if you focus on looking how you want, you will attract people who like you the way you look when you feel your best.
