But will this seemingly infinite sum of human knowledge become a flood of electronic babble? Or could we use a place to motivate and inspire us to usher in a new age of understanding and cooperation...?

Noob! The cool kids still call it the Village ;)

To be fair, this is more like another few inches of dirt piled on top of the already sealed coffin sitting in a 6 foot hole. The nails were finished being driven a long time ago.

Blessing of size? Didn't Walt say something like: "Here in Florida, we have something special that we never enjoyed at Disneyland, the curse of size. Now that there's enough land here to hold all the ideas and plans we can possibly imagine... we can stop imagining truly new things and just...

One key concept of EPCOT Center's Future World was in fact "possibility". But not the possibility that something exists outside of our control, such as aliens. EPCOT Center was about the possibility of human achievement. Outer Space is there and the only thing keeping a Brava Centauri space...

I know I posted this a long time ago, but it seems appropriate to dust it off. Somehow, even a couple years ago, I knew I should have left more space for "additions".

So since he experienced it in its previous glory, can we assume that Peter Quill is also disappointed to see what has become of EPCOT Center? Seriously though, the cognitive dissonance involved in destroying a legacy while appealing to memories and nostalgia is amazing.

The visions of the future seem to change so fast. I always thought it would have been really cool if Horizon's had eventually been upgraded to include an 80s section in the "Looking back at tomorrow" portion of the ride. It would be somewhat inherently self-referential, but interesting nonetheless.

I know that this is everyone's favorite meme on these boards when you want someone to get over something, but you people saw the movie, right? It didn't exactly work out for her and she ended up having to care again for not only her good, but the rest of the city... :p

Despite what one poster in this thread likes to repeat, tipping as "etiquette" has not existed since "always". Earlier in the thread I posted a link to a somewhat recent article describing that the majority of people did not tip housekeeping even a few years ago. If you want to go back even...

This is actually against current FLSA rules. A tip pool cannot include cooks (or other customarily non-tipped positions). The National Restaurant Association is trying to get a case before the Supreme Court that could change that, but for now, the District courts are deferring to the current DOL...

Tomorrow is still a week before the event ;)

I suppose that depends on your definition of "always". http://time.com/money/3394185/tipping-myths-realities-history/ According to this article, "As recently as 2011 [...] industry experts such as Michael Lynn of the Cornell School of Hotel Administration pointed to data suggesting that only...

It's certainly well known, but given where you're staying, JellyRolls would be a great time.

I would recommend JellyRolls on the Boardwalk. It's always a great time.

We can kiss Harvard good-bye. No job. No upwardly mobile lifestyle...

Any chance that the powers that be can move this to the Politics and Social Issues section?

Wow, that's crazy. Do you happen to know how they defined the percentage (i.e. percent of revenue, percent of rooms, square footage...)? I'm just curious what the actual metric is, but in any case that is a startling number.

I think I see why I'm hearing something you're not. I started the video and then stopped it to adjust my volume. When I clicked on it to start it again, there were other videos in the iframe including this one: which is what I clicked apparently. When I heard Bippity Boppity I assumed I had the...
