I've done a few shots of the moon by connecting mirrorless camera to old telescopes. The real key for getting a decent shot is making sure the tripod is rock steady, for my telescope I hang weights on the center to make it heavier.... make sure to use a timer so the camera isn't jiggled by your...

Agreed. And this parade seems to be a bit too heavily slanted to the newest IP which was not even what I would consider good enough to warrant the amount of parade some of it has been given. Of all the night parades at Disney World, this is probably the weakest one ever. Weaker even than any...

I know we made the mistake of staying at a value resort in the fall in the past and had the pleasure of some pop warner football thing which resulted in screaming kids running around in the evenings to the point that it was hard to get any rest because of the noise. To be honest, if I were you...

Is it just me or does that look more like Mike Lindell the My Pillow guy than it does Walt Disney.

Another Eisner isn't the answer, I knew people that worked at Disney in the corporate side during the 80's and he made lots of decisions that were just short term return driven, and picking low hanging fruit. The one thing I agree with is a need for a change at the board level. Right now too...

Except it isn't more difficult to mine than uranium and is easier to transform it into u233.... Sure it can make some of the people processing it glow in the dark, but since when did the Iranians ever appear to be that concerned with the health or well being of their own people. You would...

Did they redo the Trump one? I recall it looked more like Hillary than Trump when the put it in the first time around. I always figured they expected Hillary to win and were nearly done with her animatronics and then had to do a last minute rework when Trump won.

Everytime I hear about these 900 lbs of enriched uranium I have to laugh a bit. I would have thought that the Iranians wouldn't be stuck in a time loop trying to replicate Little Boy... anyone that kept up with nuclear physics through the 60's should know that it is far easier to just turn...

When you say lost do you mean it died or you actually don't know where it is... because you can get some data off dead flash drives if you are willing to pay... but I'm afraid you will be SOL on getting anything that old from Disney.

That would be a very likely problem. If you were lucky it would just be urine or food coloring... but I could easily see someone putting acid in a squirt gun and causing some serious damage. If this was happening in the UK I would be amazed if they didn't have people using acid, I'm not sure...

You are ignoring the difference between rain and someone shooting water in your face. Rain is an act of god, someone shooting water in your face is intentional. It only becomes a question of whether you would be charged with assault or battery... but regardless of that, the person could sue...

You don't seem to understand what value is. If a company gives me some of the cash they have, that's value. I can't reinvest it by buy more of the stock in that company or invest it in anything else.. at the end of the day I have more money to work with when I get dividends than when a company...

Dividend are relevant, if they weren't Disney wouldn't have made such a big deal about bringing them back. I would much rather have money returned to me to invest as I see fit than have a company squander it on god knows what, or simply sit on the money the way Apple has for years by offering...

Thunderbolts cost 180 million to make 100 million to market... At the moment they are looking at getting 220 from both foreign and domestic ticket sales... So they haven't even broken even yet.... of the movies you've listed only Deadpool has made them money. The fact is it doesn't matter if...

Kids wanted the sea raycers, and while they looked cool they were so slow it was maddening.

I think the problem is you wanted people to support your claims. When they don't you suddenly think it is a toxic discussion. Numbers don't lie, but you can lie to yourself about what your seeing... and I think that is what you are doing. Just because people on this forum tend to be fans of...

I wouldn't take your financial advice. You clearly are viewing the company through rose colored glasses and trying to make up excuses for poor performance. The dividend yield for Disney was crap before the pandemic so stop trying to pretend that is the grand excuse for their poor performance...

Ignore the pandemic and just look at the dividend yields in the past years after the pandemic... they are crap and haven't been even 1%... You have to go back to the 1980's to get a yield that is even close to what Comcast has been getting in the past decade. The reality is the shareholder of...

You can save yourself a lot of time by just looking at the stock performance from the time of the deals to today... For comcast their stock went from 35.50 to 34.70 so it lost a bit but they had total dividend payments of 7.09 during that time so an investor got a net gain of 6.29.... for Disney...

I think the biggest reason you felt less tempted is that Disney has been in a race to the bottom when it comes to the merch they sell. I've been going since my parents took me the first year they opened and sometime in the 80's the merc seems to have started being a little less special... then...
