The actual NBC article: "Yeah, the Secret Service is actually liable for those charges, and some of the cities have incorrectly tacked on huge extra fees and sent the bill to the campaign, but we're going to keep pretending it's the campaign's responsibility."

What the Independent article fails to mention: Any money Trump pays would be going straight to the money owed by Giuliani in that lawsuit, so Giuliani doesn't care too much at this point.

Comment Subsidence (Score 5, Informative) 87

For that region, the real issue is subsidence from the removal of ground water, not a localized increase in sea level.

Fort Pulaski is next to Savannah, which has had a massive population growth (and accompanying increase in fresh water usage) over that time period.

Comment Within 48 hours of travel (Score 4, Insightful) 211

Never mind that a lot of people have to purchase tickets well within that time frame.

I've had tickets purchased for me while I was packing to go to the airport. Work related, last-minute schedule changes required it.

Then there's that whole "90% failure rate" on the tips from airline employees. If you have a source who's wrong nine times out of ten, they're not a source, they're just making it up so they can get a cut of the graft.

Comment Re:Centered around the market? (Score 1) 131

They are sorta skipping the "some idiot lab assistant let himself get exposed, started feeling a little ill, and spread it to a number of people, one of which went to the market" theory.

Heck, if it was someone in their early 20s, they might have been contagious without feeling too bad.

All this study does is nail down one of the early vector locations, not establish the actual origin.

I think you're grossly underestimating how "real" CGI is now.

For the start, that's blatantly not a real press.

Secondly, it would be much, much cheaper to go ahead and make the whole thing CGI than to interweave fake and real shots.

There is literally no shot in that ad that has a reason to be "analog."

What to make of my comment? It's not a big stretch to know that CGI could easily handle that, for less money and time.

I'm insulting the people who are brag-posting how "horrified" they are to try and tout their own "artistic" sensitivity.
