Thank you. I was wondering why she was fighting a bachelor's degree.

I went to one about 8 years ago when my then-girlfriend’s mom got us tickets. It was a Ringling Brothers circus. I had never gone to one and didn’t know what to expect.

The animals were seldom used. There certainly was a bit where someone did gymnastics on top of an elephant which looked cool. They also brought out a Tiger and did some trick where the tiger was bouncing a ball on its head back to the handler kind of like they were playing catch. From cartoons and such I had expected to see some tiger jumping through a flaming hoop, and a ringmaster holding a chair and cracking a whip at a big lion, but there was none of that.

Mostly it was gymnastic stuff, like these guys riding these big “hamster wheels” and jumping on top of them, and someone getting shot out of a cannon, and some rope swinging stuff. I liked all that.

Maybe 8 years ago was a long time and things have changed, but even back then the animal use was minimal. I hope circuses don’t go away, as it was a lot of fun just watching the people do tricks.

Protip: For all US-based carriers - If your flight is cancelled or delayed more than two hours for any reason, your are entitled to a refund but you have to ASK for it as airlines will usually offer you a credit first. Be careful though as the refund will go back to the Original Form of Payment, which if you went through a travel agency could be their card or electronic check, so if you booked through a TA like Priceline, Expedia etc go to them first and request the refund. They will try to push you off onto the airline but what happens far too often is the airline will see the ticket as refunded and consider the matter closed, and good luck getting your money back from the TA at that point.

Also: Airlines are only required to offer you any sort of compensation like hotels, food vouchers etc if it was their fault they canceled, ie mechanical issues, crew exceeded Federal mandated hours etc, but if the flight canceled due to weather or something like traffic delays (happens in large airports like JFK, ORD, LAX etc) then that is considered out of their hands and no compensation other than getting rebooked on next available flight or full refund are offered.

Finally: anyone who purchases a Restricted Fare (economy basic, saver fare etc) or spends 400 bucks or more/is traveling with a family or overseas and DOESN'T get trip insurance with trip interruption coverage in this day and age are just stupid. Go through you home/medical/car insurance company instead of the airline directly and you'll get a better deal, usually 25-30 bucks/person depending on the price of your ticket/destination. It will cover not only the cost of hotels, food, clothes and personal items but the purchase of new tickets on another airline if what the company you booked through doesn't have better options available. Ask all those poor souls who spent Christmas stranded by Southwest feel about having to spend thousands out of pocket just to get home. Seriously it's worth every penny.

if critical role collaborated with broadway or some shit to make a literal LARP show with giant hologram monsters i would throw ALL of my money at it.

Maybe we should take animals out of movies too.

Cool so what, now, is real at the circus? Just the shitty carnival style food? Honestly hard pass just retire the poor concept already and be done with it.

Maybe my search terms on Google are bad but I have not found anything around Los Angeles.

he continues to be a great human.

Grohl is just the best.

bar-b-foo

Why even go there then. Might as well w1tch it on my home TV.

The circus is better now than it's ever been.

I'm glad that the airline was supportive of this too, easyJet are a no frills budget airline and the fuel to do that manoeuvre isn't free so it isn't a given that they wouldn't have reprimanded him

I thought it was 'Battle Armor.' Thought this lady took on an Elemental unaugmented and won.

Not a huge fan of his music, but a huge fan of him as a human.

Checked the comment quickly just for this.... Could have been so many different things lol.

He's a great human being and goes out of his way to be a great human being to others. Other millionaires could learn from him.

As long as the holograms of the animals are captured ethically then it's very different. The issue with animals performing at the circuss is the well-being of the animals. The issue with showing people with deformities or other extreme physiology is exploitation. Our society has no issue with the exploitation of animals, as long as they are well treated in that exploitation.

>And the final component is the UK grid system pays every electricity producer the price of the most expensive energy producer. If 1% of the grid is gas, 100% of the grid pays gas prices. Even on this one day, there was a gas power plant running as a back up (it just wasn't used).

>That last one is part of why very few UK homes have electricity based heating systems. There will never be a time when electricity costs less than gas, so gas has been the cheaper option.

Iirc all of the European energy market works like that.

And it wasn't 25 consecutive hours, either...

Lame

Well, ok. As long as they can still treat the humans terribly I guess I can live with it.
