Testing to failure before launch seems reasonable to prevent a disaster with massive amounts of fuel & oxygen !

Reply to TIL Like casinos, shopping malls are intentionally designed to disorient visitors. The feeling of losing track of time and geography inside a mall is called the Gruen Transfer. by Rifletree
Is this related Costco constantly changing the location of items and the grocery store resetting the isles every so often?

I think they are referring to the racks/shelves

16 months, I had relatives there. I was curious about lingering trash and oil pollution ?

I hope pollution from the big shipwreck isn’t a continuing problem.

I got to meet her before a show at Chastain Amphitheater. They were doing a sound check while I was finishing modifications to the concession stands. Nice lady. The client told us to give them whatever they asked for on the house. The crew were smoking a joint in the middle of the seating.

I went to Target today for the first time in a few years and had to fuss quite a lot to get someone to ring up my purchase. I knew they try to force you to self check a Walmart but that’s my last visit to Target !

Reply to comment by blatantninja in TIL During the 20th century TV series that reached 100 episodes were generally preferred for syndication, since that meant stations could run 20 weeks of programming without repeating a story. In recent years that number has fallen to 88 episodes. by UndyingCorn

Reply to Paul Newman 1960s by Ciara19
Got to meet him at a distance one night after a race in the pits. He was sitting around a fire with all the track crew telling racing stories . Then an idiot kept asking about movies and couldn’t take a hint to quit so Newman quietly left.

A long time ago it was fairly common for dry cleaners to have a well onsite to dump old chemicals in . Most old dry cleaners sites are on the superfund list.

Shell companies used to hide their ownership.

Poorly capped oil wells are a contributor. Apparently there are thousands of them that companies sell off to a shell that goes bankrupt to avoid the responsibility.

Reply to comment by MisterCortez in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01
