[00:31]	IsambardPrince	https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-anime-movies/
[00:31]	TR Bot	 100 Best Anime Movies of All Time | Rotten Tomatoes
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Whoever put Belle on this list higher than The Secret World of Arietty needs to be flogged.
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Just what we need. A forgettable anime movie about a girl who sings on a cell phone app.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	In 20-30 years, maybe people won't even know what a cell phone app was.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	Tech products tend to run their course. People go from not knowing what one is, to everyone has one, to nobody below a certain age knows what one is.
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	For MP3 players that only took about 20 years.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	For VCRs, that took longer. About 30 years.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	People born after about 2002-2003 or so likely never used a VCR and they're adults now, and have been for some time.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	So they accept this streaming shit because they haven't gotten old enough to appreciate quality or realize what an obvious scam is.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	Studio Ghibli has only ever produced one film that I'd call pretty meh.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	That was Tales From Earthsea.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	They let Hayao Miyazaki's son do one film and he hasn't gotten to do another one since then.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	It's the Microsoft Bob! of Studio Ghibli.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	And the English dub stars Timothy Dalton, probably my least favorite James Bond.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	I have it though because I'm trying to gather all of their films on Blu Ray.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	But I don't watch it much.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Nepotism seems to happen everywhere.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	The boss's son or girlfriend gets a project.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	It's not that there aren't worse movies but it was not up to their usual standard.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	I think Studio Ghibli will probably die soon after Miyazaki does. Or at least not be what it once was.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	Tough act to follow, for anyone.

[21:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	No company in history has depended entirely on cost reduction to become a viable, thriving, profit-making company. You can only cut so much before you cause irreparable damage. Cost cutting is meant to be a very short-term corrective action like a tourniquet; it is not viable beyond that. A tourniquet can save your life, but you almost always lose the limb.
[21:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	To the troll who keeps trying to defend Arvind and who deleted his inane posts from yesterday after the crowd turned on him: Arvind deserves no respect. He's not an innovator. He's a butcher. He's not a patriot; he's pan Indian and a racist. He's increasing the stock value but at the cost of destroying our fundamentals. When he retires on top of that big pile of gold, he's going to leave a complete garbage pile to his successor. J
[21:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	ust another WITCH company with a legacy name.
[21:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	The singular focus on acquisitions as a way to grow has not worked out well for IBM over the past 30+ years. Arvind's only legitimate claim to fame is Red Hat. In the long run, we end up abandoning our acquisitions at a loss from lotus to soft layer.
[21:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	The problem with IBM for years has been lack of a vision. Buying other companies that have a vision is not in itself a vision. It is more short-term thinking; let tomorrow worry about tomorrow. Meanwhile the US workforce has been made into sausage.

[23:14]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I had the chiropractor work on my shoulder today.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	Feels a lot better.
[23:15]	IsambardPrince	Beats walking around popping ibuprofen.
[23:15]	IsambardPrince	That'll do occasionally but you don't want to be taking pain pills every day.
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Might be best if I just killed some of the credit cards. Especially the ones we don't use much anymore.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	They dangle there waiting for someone to clone the card number somehow, and somehow make transactions on a frozen account that you think "Well it's frozen and the card isn't hurting anything."
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	Also, nobody tells you this until you happen to notice it.
[23:19]	IsambardPrince	But eventually "Too many open credit card accounts." shows up as a FICO negative reason code.
[23:19]	IsambardPrince	Even if you're not massively indebted or anything.
[23:19]	IsambardPrince	So it's just one of those things where you want to clean up this mess a bit.
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	You don't want to owe any of these people money.
[23:21]	IsambardPrince	But some are much worse than others.
[23:22]	IsambardPrince	:)
[23:27]	IsambardPrince	I haven't seen the Magnificent Seven remake. Don't want to either.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	The original was excellent and I doubt they did any better than Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, and Steve McQueen.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Rotten Tomatoes gave the remake a very middling score.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	What's the point of revisiting something if you can't do a better job?
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Just to spend money?
