Ambulances are for people, not cars. So yes, ambulances just leave the cars there.

Tow trucks on the other hand, are like ambulances for cars. So they take the cars, to a car hospital or morgue.

Typically. But he's been out for so long he likely doesn't or didn't have an agent. That's kind of what I was getting at. If he really wanted to try to get an acting job, he could've in a heartbeat.

But an agent isn't even necessary of your big enough. Bill Murray famously doesn't have one. You leave your pitch on his voicemail, he'll get back to you if he likes it. Then you just hope and prey he actually shows up.

Even a major role.
He's Rick Moranis!
If needs be, it would make sense to re-write the script for his return to movies!

That might be literally true, that people just stopped calling with offers. But I don't believe for a second that if he showed up to a casting for some comedy, he wouldn't be offered something on the spot.

Solid 4/5
Good symbolic allegory for the capitalist grind, punishing altruism and solidarity. I can see some might call it boring, as it's 90% just boys walking and talking, but I enjoyed it. Will watch again sometime. Maybe an annual reminder watch. Like V for Vendetta.

Android or iOS?
On my Android it's much quicker at everything

I'm an XRay tech at a union hospital.
In the negotiations for this year, the hospital refused any raise. Refused any change involving more money really.
Meanwhile, the CEO is getting a 24% raise this year.
Everybody is livid.

I hear that. I finally gave in and bought an electric spy-mobile.

Screw that!

In the US we have two viable political parties.
One is ultra right wing fascist authoritarian.
The second is conservative neoliberal corpo-cratic.

No wonder I've been more or less depressed my entire adult life.

I agree with roughly half of what you're saying.
One glaringly bad and wrong bit of reasoning is this.

When movies are mastered for theatrical presentation, they’re mastered on projectors.

Yes, obviously. Theaters have projectors. It would only make sense to master those versions on projectors.

But that's not the master you get on consumer Blu-ray or streaming. Those masters are color graded on Sony dual layer LCDs with HDR and 1,000,000:1 contrast ratios. Because most home screens are LCD or OLED.

 

Kagi AI Summary:
The merger between PNM Resources and AVANGRID has been officially cancelled after three years of negotiations. While the $8.3 billion deal had overcome initial opposition, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ultimately rejected it in 2021 due to concerns raised by advocacy group New Energy Economy. AVANGRID appealed the decision but the court did not rule in time. With the deadline expired at the end of 2023, AVANGRID chose to withdraw from the merger. PNM had proposed extending the agreement until a court decision was made but AVANGRID declined. As a standalone company, PNM remains committed to transitioning to 100% renewable energy for its customers with or without AVANGRID's investment.
