They had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It's not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

Hot dog is optional.

The $5 rotisserie chicken is not

Just wait until they track your phone in the stores and tie it to demographics like where you live and profession to build a financial profile to estimate how much you are able to pay. As you walk down aisles, the prices change to your price to gouge out every possible penny from you.

It really depends on where the office is in relation to your home.

Before covid and going WFH, the office was only 5 miles away on roads with no traffic. I would go back to this, no problem. Just enough to keep you on a schedule and get out of the house.

The biggest benefit of an office is that when you leave, you are gone until tomorrow.

When everyone is WFH, you never completely leave the office. I know boundaries, but in many cases, the lines can get a bit fuzzy.

Ozzy summed it up well:

Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor

It's more likely battery than assault. Battery is just putting hands on. Assault generally needs higher threat level and/or more violent actions.

Agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in their case against Trump.

Like any other organized crime operation where the boss has others do his dirty work, the only way that you are going to get the boss is by convincing the foot soldiers to give up the boss. Unfortunately, it means having to make deals with the small fish to catch the whale.

Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

They intentionally planned it for when he was not even in the state.

I'm no assassin, but I am pretty sure if you are gunning for somebody, you don't make sure the target is somewhere else where there is zero possibility of them showing up while you are there.

Actually, if you just embrace ignorance, the answer is simple.

Everything you don't like is the thing that you don't really understand.

I suspect that it's because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

You mean Fxctory

It depends on the exact nature of the failure. Controller errors are usually a complete failure. Media failure (magnetic spots on the disk or failed cells in ssd) are often sporadic and only impact data stored in those spots.

Regardless, drives rarely give you any warning. Look at any warning as a gift and get everything off and replace it ASAP.

And don't forget about all of the other "news" outlets that get away with echoing every lie by reporting, "OAN said.....".

These guys don't have to run a retraction at all if they phrase it as a story about what someone else is reporting.

What's the point. It won't be an actual debate where two adults present meaningful perspectives and solutions to issues facing the country.

Not only a waste of time, but remember Trump used the last debate to send out the call to arms directly to the Proud Boys, which led up to them actually being convicted of sedition. The J6 insurrection conspiracy started right there on national TV. Fuck all of the people who dismissed that as he was just messing around.

Without all of the other stickers, one might assume "Life Is Better With Pig" was referring to their dating preferences.

A real bacon, pork roll, or other pork fat + salt processed meat sandwich needs to use waffles instead of bread. Don't forget the Mrs Butterworth syrup because you need your daily dose of high fructose corn syrup too.

And even then, despite mountains of evidence and hundreds of witnesses that come forward, there will be a scary number of people who will still not accept what happened and call it fake news.

self employed handyman pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case

Jan 6th aside, The Dude works in people's homes, and there's at least enough evidence to change him with solicitation of a child.

Everybody has the right of innocent until proven guilty, but surely scary for any of his clients. Hope none of them have kids in the house.
