In a real job, sometimes we need to get something done TODAY, or even 3 hours from right now.
I work third shift and it's so much worse in this case. I walk in the door at 10 PM to an email saying I have to do a training module that takes an hour, and it has to show completed before midnight. Then they wonder why I wasn't able to get my work area set up and make progress on a long term project in that same time frame.
I remember reading another factor is that food which people donate is often expired, nearly expired, or undesirable and unlikely to be used before it expires, so often ends up getting thrown away anyway.
Just buy a TV and don't connect the wi-fi for the smart capability
Some of these TVs will find an unsecured network within range to connect to, so they can still bombard you with ads.
And (in my experience) they're still slow as hell. I press "power on" and have to go pour a drink or something while I wait for it to boot up, as if I'm warming up a radio in the 1930s.
