    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Dish 'n Fish. Honestly, Ergan made a mistake with 5G. He should have sought 5 fathoms below the sea.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    But with Red Lobster in bankruptcy, the option is there for Dish to absorb them like they did with Blockbuster. Fried shrimp and Dish supplied media just go hand in hand. ;) And anyone that suggests Dish doesn't have the liquidity to absorb Red Lobster or that it is a different type of...

    Auto Racing 2024

    Saw the highlights. There were a lot of them. Too bad for Magnusson, looked like he was Senna out there in the rain, and could have lapped the entire field if it kept raining.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Road America, started a bit spinny, but it improved. In the end, turned into a Penske show, with Power leading the trio in a 1-2-3 sweep. Herta continues with the back luck. Sometimes you make your own good luck, but he has been suffering a lot of bad mojo recently. He recovered and managed to...

    Mid-Ohio Pilot Challenge, etc... I tell ya, 500 mm, OMG! The small openings in the fencing for emergency and photography are "reachable" with a 500 mm. Carousel. These are the LMP3 in qualifications. 500 mm The Mazda MX-5. These two were really a threesome fighting in the front. 72 had...

    https://www.imsa.com/news/2024/06/04/gottsacker-eager-for-long-awaited-defense-of-mid-ohio-victory/ It isn't IMSA IMSA, but I'll take the Michelin Pilot Challenge. LMP3's will be there too. Gonna be testing out the 500 mm I used for the eclipse, hoping it is "fast". Missing today, so many...

    Wrong thread. This is the savings account interest thread. ;) I think I read an article about that issue with Netflix. Though, I agree that Prime seems oddly hard to find where the Prime stuff even is. But all of these services suffer from a difficulty with browsing content. Heck, Netflix could...

    Man, I love the spin for making parole. :D Yeah, probably reword that a little to avoid that being "Exhibit B". ;)

    How things have changed

    I misspoke with Gen X, I meant the generations past Gen X. I feel my generation (tail end Gen X) was the last one that had things as they were. Kind of affordable college, jobs awaiting downstream, housing that was affordable enough. Post Gen X, the rules of the game changed quite a bit. I feel...

    How things have changed

    Yes, real estate, the stuff that has had three-ish booms in my adult lifetime (the first which led to a catastrophic economic collapse), but I was the benefactor of ridiculously low interest rates and buying before the first boom got too crazy. Gen X has to manage interest rates and inflated...

    How things have changed

    NO!!!! There is no fix. This is a change in distribution. It is already set in stone. Why do you think Ergen tried to shift Dish into a completely new direction starting several years ago? Younger people that grew up with Napster have a much different worldview on media than people who grew...

    Auto Racing 2024

    Detroit Grand Prix - Well, um... it was... well.. something. It was a race that was going well, with Colten Herta kicking absolute butt. Alex Palou was sent out on scrubbed alternates and that was quickly learned to be the suckiest idea. Kirkwood would be one of the only drivers to really do...

    Larson gets Rookie of the Year in a mildly controversial decision. Dude was driving for Arrow McLaren, had Tony Kanaan as a driving coach. Did very well in practice and qualifying, making it to the Top Six. Led during the race during a pit cycle. But he made a couple mistakes, one that almost...

    Meanwhile rain in Charlottecould make this Larson's longest day since the 24 hrs at Daytona.

    Newgarden wins legitimately this time around. O'Ward so close. He'll be second guessing that for a long time. Disappointment with Herta, he appeared to have the car. Kirkwood came from who knows where to finish top ten. Veekay recovers from unsafe release penalty back to 23rd to finish top 10...

    Sounds like Larson is choosing Indy over the 600. Good choice.

    4:44 PM green flag Hopefully it is a clean race. Light to what 7:30? Minus something crazy, this ends late this evening.

    I"m thinking 3:30 to 4:30 for the start. Might be able to pull this off. Next wave of rain should be after visibility ends the race.

    Well, we'll always have Monaco. What is insane is Kyle Larson is busy trying to prove he is a great race car driver and talks of rain are meaning he could pull out of the 500, to race in Charlotte. Yak! The weather forecast is getting grim for Sunday with some ingredients lining up for...

    The 600 in Charlotte. Larson is looking to do the double. Only Tony Stewart has finished both, and did very well in them as well.

    How would you even know they messed up the chains? Granted, spotting the ball is a pain. Should just go to the honor system. :D

    Monaco... Indy... the 600? All in one day?! Well, maybe a couple. Indy is looking like it has a good shot at raining. While we wait for Sunday, here is an Indy moment. Indy Lights 2013. The last lap is a little easier to pull off with the smaller engines and slower speeds, but still that was...

    Better get Netflix for NFL on Xmas

    I venture to guess that 2029 is too far away to guess any of this. At that point, we might have just two competing streaming options Global Megacorp (Google's service) and Mega Global Corp (Disney's service) after all the merging is completed. We can safely assume the cable distribution is...
