  1. It would be interesting to see an analysis how an eVTOL would be eco-friendly. Traditionally air transport (particularly VTOL) have been energy hogs.
  2. I know she is talking about marginal tax rates of over $10M in income. She is providing sound bites that will be used in the next election. Most voters are not educated -- and only hear the headlines. If energizing the base means a move into Democratic Socialism, there is no chance to win the next election. Neither the Rebublican, nor the Democratic base is big enough to win the election. Appealing to moderate independants is needed. Raising tax rates to ridiculous levels has a drag on growth, that actually tends to lower overall government revenue. You're absolutely right.
  3. Ocasio-Cortez Suggests 70% Ultra-Rich Tax Could Pay for Climate Plan If you're trying to scare independent moderates away from voting Democrat, the best way is to scare people with talk of huge tax hikes and that Democratic Socialism is part of the party dogma.
  4. Does Abby add anything to the conversation? Or does she continue to bring in non-core games (like the Sims) all the way through?
  5. People always want the forbidden fruit. Konami says people can't have this -- WE MUST FIND A WAY! I'm not brave. I'm a scaredy cat. I can't take scary movies. I was reacting to your response to me.
  6. It is a really boring, non-scary and over-hyped horror experience that was announced at a major tradeshow. as a teaser for a never released game by Konami
  7. I've never really understood the fascination with PT. I played it briefly, found it boring, and never worried that I no longer had a copy of it.
  8. I'm hoping to get one this year and finally retire my Pioneer Elite Kuro.... I don't have an X, but expecting PS5 in 2020, and I've been waiting to get a new TV, and wanted to make sure it supports VRR.
  9. LG’s 2019 OLED TVs Come with Variable Refresh Rate, Automatic Low Latency Mode and 4K@120FPS Through HDMI 2.1
  10. I had assumed this was done in Week 17... I guess I screwed up my betting strategy... (As well as my bets..)
  11. Big games for board games this year (a bunch to the kids): My son and I both got a core set for Xwing Second Edition, and a number of extra ships, plus a play mat. Received a bunch of games -- Superfight, Tsuro, Above and Below, Harry Potter: Hogwart's Battle (Uggh), Foirtnite Monopoly (Double-Ugh) and Spy Club... We also just picked up 7 Wonders, Time Stories and Lords of Waterdeep -- so we have a LOT to play. On a side note, we played a few games of "The Captain is Dead" -- and it was a ton of fun for a cooperative game.
  12. If you are fighting enemies above your level, they will definitely be spongy, This isn't like a DMC game, where skill can overcome all. If the enemies are above your level, you're not meant to go there (yet).
  13. Nada. I did give my kids Battlefront 2 though...
  14. Wasn’t G2A the marketplace devoted to selling keys that were scammed from developers or bought with stolen credit cards?
  15. I'm guessing at a May 2019 release on PC.
  16. Given how bad my experience was on WiFi, I think they have a long way to go before they can support tablets and handhelds “in the wild”.
  17. Week 16 Feature Game Denver Broncos $61,000 QUESTIONS 1) Broncos TD 2) Broncos 3) under 4) 1 5) Atlanta, Houston, N.Y. Jets 6) Bengals 7) Rams @ Cardinals 8) Zeke, Amari Cooper
