It didn't go out of business in '97, I was 1000% there for a birthday party in 2000 or 2001. It seems the company went bankrupt in 1997, and the assets were sold multiple times over the years. Locations stayed open, and, according to Google at least, there seems to be at least a couple left in Ohio, and California?
Either way, this took me down a nice nostalgia hole, very nice.

otherwise you don't realise his movies are often in large part a collage of other movies.
Isn't that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.
It's okay to not like Tarantino, I don't care much about that, but your argument doesn't really hold up for me.
I work on a helpdesk, my phone rings around 8-12 times per day, and most calls are less than 10 minutes. I work a 7.5 hour shift, and at most am on the phone for an hour or so total on an average day. I'm also in an office cubicle farm, not working from home, or behind a series of closed doors.

Ferrari 9-10 shouldn't be surprising but it is.

Lando leads a lap! What a start.
Brundle having trouble finding people on the grid is wild, how is Silverstone so mild?
McLaren wtf Zack is so fucking pumped, proud of that guy. What a performance from Norris and Piastri.
Preparing for Future Corporate Influence
The Fediverse as it stands now is super ambitious, prospering, and honestly really exciting to see and be a part of.
I worry about the sustainability, though. The current model of donations, volunteer mods, and so on is working as intended, and the experience is flourishing. I see this model standing up for at least a couple of years as-is, barring any major changes of any kind.

I've watched most social media platforms and systems come into being in my lifetime, and also watched most of their demises. Money, marketing, and ads always come for them in some form.
What's being done now to help prevent toxic corporate influence in the future? Can anything be done? The best part about defederated instances is a corporate influence could get ahold of one instance, but not all of them. Great in concept, but how do we plan for a future when corporate interest reaches t

I've been wanting to get this shot for months, finally had a day off to catch it at the right time of day with minimal traffic about. Standing on a fairly slim concrete median was a little hairy, but worth it.
Ferrari not pitting under the safety car.

Jenson in the safety car, cheesing like a kid haha
