The scene in Master and Commander where Warley is lost illustrates why. In many situations, the ship couldn't simply stop and wait for a sailor overboard. Sailors decided that they'd rather drown quickly in that case.

Massive stainless steel kitchen with room to march three abreast between the prep island and the bulkhead counters. Lovely porthole over the sink to allow in natural light.

Like the old joke about consulting firms.
When you are applying, they show you beautiful offices and top-flight meal services.
When you are hired, you work with four other people in an office designed for two with bring-your-own lunches or cafeteria prices that are $12 for a box of fries.
The difference between "recruits" and "staff."

- Well charge you an exorbitant fee to write a paper advising you to do that thing that you want to do.
- We staff the people you fired who know how your system works better than the people you kept. We'll fix your problem for an exorbitant fee.
I assume the recruiting pitch you listed is for option1.

Saw "Heart Eyes" this weekend.
I liked it a lot. Very fun.
Basically, it's a rom-com intertwined with a state-of-the-Art Slasher flick.
I have to admit that this one is hard to recommend though because it's too rom-commy for horror fans and too gory for rom-com fans.
So, if that sounds good to you, you will enjoy it.

The "why" is because she endorsed Kamala and spoke out against Trump. In the past, celebrities were afraid to support Republicans, because it would hurt their careers, but could be as Left wing as possible and still be protected. In the Era of Trump, conservatives are finally pushing back. Swift couldn't stay neutral, but instead publicly picked a side...and now she's going to get hate from the right. It's not ideal, but if it's how the game has to be played, I'm glad we're finally fighting back.

The younger brat likes her, and has seen her in concert a few times. I have discussed it with her and understand it, though I do not find the music in the least bit entertaining or memorable.
One thing that people of a certain age might not appreciate is that Taylor Swift is a fine businesswoman, and has done very well for herself. I despise the injection of politics into her music, and will never pay her a dime, but we do have to be cognizant of the reality...many people like her because she has stuck it to the typical music industry business model.

My oldest daughter liked her music but has since been very hostile to her. She has made the entirely reasonable point that Swift complains about poverty, women in music, and all that shit, but could donate all of her money to fix it, so why wouldn't she...?
She also made another argument that when Swift receives a Grammy she makes a speech that's a commercial for her next project.

The NFL confirmed the person was part of the 400-member field cast. The New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that “law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident.”
Image: https://tinyurl.com/bdcmwm8n
The NOPD is working to determine the applicable charges? Here's the charge: "Forgetting that the US is a white Judeo-Christian country and everybody else in the world doesn't matter."
Detain him first THEN try to find charges? Classic NOPD. Coming up with charges against this man of color was a problem the antebellum Slave Patrol didn't have.
There is nothing illegal about unfurling a flag. Not liking the flag or what it represents is no basis to even detain him
as Russia does, during the course of the "investigation" they will "find" something. They'll announce that this person has committed some other (fabricated) crime. He hasn't paid his taxes, downloaded child porn, or sells or buys drugs, etc.

I haven't declined that far!
Yes, I liked Taylor 's first few singles in '07 and '09, "Our Song" and "You Belong With Me." Though they were not country they had good lyrics and decent tunes, and the second had a well-executed video, if I recall right. Plus she was, and is, gorgeous. But I gather that most of her work since then has been about bemoaning her own poor choices in boyfriends. That resonates with her female fan base, which is fine.

If she re-recorded her old catalog, won't she have to pay royalties to the company which bought it?
I honestly would not recognize a single Tay-Tay song if it came dribbling out of speakers within earshot of me. Not a one. And the only aspect of "hot" she possesses is that she is not a land whale. Her face is is curiously bland and unanimated, like a Stepford Wife.

Rap continuously flatters itself over its supposed iconoclasm and rebellion when really it's a cynical corporate Big Mac-level mainstream product and about as rebellious as The Bachelor: Season 28. I have nothing at all against writers using obscenities, but when the obscenities alone are supposed to be proof of your originality and bleeding-edgelord status, your work sucks.

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal re-creating their famous scene from When Harry Met Sally -- though in that case, since I can't recall the product they were pushing, the ad failed. And the one for WeatherTech floor mats, with the four old ladies cruising in an early '60s Lincoln Continental, was sort of fun.

There's also the songwriter vs performer thing. If I record a Swift-written song, I will have to pay her royalties on the songwriting credit, but I will own the performance. If someone then markets the recording of my performance, both Swift and I would get paid.
So, by rerecording all her old stuff, whoever acquired the old performance rights would be SOL. Of course, whoever owns the songwriting credit will still get paid.

Suddenly I felt I was in 10th grade.
Then it hit me people are still listening to 50 year old music.
Tell me that the song from last night's halftime show will be playing as background music 50 years from now.

He's doing it in legalese and through the courts, but he's effectively ignoring the order.
GOOD
they do not deserve any attention and by just continuing and treating them as the weird partisans they are it will deter other asshole judges from doing the same shit to slow PDJT down
my relative is a retired fed judge and there is no more extreme liberal I've ever seen. there are so many who would love to shackle (literally and figuratively) the centrists and right in this USA.
it's enough already
just keep going let them whine

I’m sure I’ve been exposed to other Taylor Swift songs, playing in public or something, but I wouldn’t recognize them as such. Most modern music is forgettable and, blessedly, easy to tune out.
I’m not aware of a single Drake song. I’m not even really sure who Drake is. I do know he has inappropriate relationships with very young girls.

1963 was the absolute peak of American culture. It all started going to shit afterwards. Hmmm, were there any significant upheaval events in 1963 that could have caused this?

Assuming you've ever been anywhere in public where they play popular music you've heard Taylor Swift. You may not have known that's who you were hearing but you've heard her.

Yeah. Undoubtedly I have heard her. But it's just noise. Nothing that reaches out and grabs me, and makes me ask, "who is that singing". Rap is the same, just an uglier grade of noise, is all.
