Love that you have Verne Gagne in there.

Those are not the same. I refer you to the "let's not be naive" portion of my post. Note to @BobDole the site is trying to tell me naive is spelled wrong. It is not.

Untrue. How do you think the waste got there in the first place? So that this Senator, or that Representative, could brag to their constituents that money was being spent in their district (and that is the benign view). Everyone wants to cut the other guy's waste, not their own. But they all make deals with each other of the form, if you vote for mine I will vote for yours. It is mutually assured destruction. Kind of like the cop shows where the dirty cops need to make sure ALL the cops are dirty. Now, Musk's idea to publicize it all has promise. It is the only thing I can think of that MAY work. But let's not be naive and pretend this isn't promised in every campaign, but never delivered. Trump's swamp draining promise is still a pipe dream, after all. I side with @VakAttack in the worry that the fox will be in charge of the hen house. The government already has a Musk problem. He violates numerous rules for contractors, but gets away with it because they no longer can launch a rocket without him. There is a saying in finance. If you owe the bank $1 million and cannot pay, you have a problem. But if you owe the bank $100 billion and cannot pay, the bank has a problem. The same is happening with Musk and the government.

Sadly, I think it does.

If nothing else he should consider the shoes. It would be so much harder to leave those on the mat.

I think we have our answer to the original question

It really is not a quote if you replace it with your own words. Nor did I make the claim you are objecting to. Caveira asked a specfiic question that I gave a direct answer to. As for streamlining operations, it is related to why advertisers cut back. Those streamlined operations included cutting back on content moderation to such an extent that advertisers were appearing along side content that they did not want to appear along side of.

It does sound awful. I do not envy anyone tasked with doing it.

Yes. As near as I can tell one season has nothing to do with the other.

I am really pulling for Sasso to have a good season

USA Today 11/2/24 The valuation of social media platform X has dropped dramatically in the eyes of major investment firm Fidelity, according to multiple reports. The market value of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund's shares in the private company is estimated at $4.2 million, according to a monthly report released Sunday. That's 79% less than the fund's estimate of its shares in October 2022 when Elon Musk took over Twitter, which were valued at $19.66 million. Applying the shares' relative decline to the total value of X when it was purchased would indicate a $9.4 billion overall valuation, a steep drop from the $44 billion that Musk paid in the acquisition. MarketWatch 8/20/2024 Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter Inc. has emerged as the worst buyout since the global financial crisis for seven large financial institutions that provided debt for the deal, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. The deal has now run up about $13 billion in so-called hung debt, which is money owed to banks that has not been sold partly because the value of the underlying asset has dropped so sharply due to its weak performance.

I have only seen the season with John Hamm, Juno Temple, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Highly recommended.

I think Cunnigham is 141/149. 184 would be Zack Ryder And don't forget PJ Duke in the mix at 157/165

The NCAA stated that pro wrestling is entertainment rather than sport.

Embargo

No one cares

Typically news organizations are given advance notice of information so that they can have the story written and ready to go. But the info is under embargo until the news is broken by the person the info is about.

Good point. Maybe it is Pyles' plan to get back at Sanderson for the withering, "you have a plan?"

Sorry to burst that ballon. Here is the calendar you won: Today < January 21, 2025

Doh. I read it as a question rather than a statement. My bad.

He has no WWE prospects, or contract. As for MMA they start you out small and slow. It is a heavy lift, with low odds, to get to the real money. And you get punched in the face a lot, a whole lot, in the meantime.

Yes. The criteria are results based (how did you do in specific tournaments?) rather than actions based (did you prepare for or participate in OTT?).

A calendar

Who will be the Chair of the Federal Reserve on January 21, 2025? This is one of the most intriguing questions, to me, at the start of Donald Trump's second term. Even though Jerome Powell is a Republican who Trump previously nominated to be chair, he is also someone Trump has said he wants to fire. The ability of a president to fire the chair of The Fed is disputed. And more recently Trump has backed away from saying he will fire Powell. But let's not forget the saga with the CFPB. Trump appoint Mick Mulvaney to take over as interim head (and shut it down), but Obama nominee, Leandra English refused to leave. Ultimately Mulvaney prevailed by being nice and bringing in doughnuts (and they weren't even good donuts, just crappy Dunkin'). Everyone began listening to him, so he was in charge. English sued and it dragged out for 18 months before English gave up. But it was very entertaining while it lasted. The CFPB structure is very different than the Fed structure than the Fed structure, though. The Fed is designed to be independent, the CFPB is not.
