Yep I know but our main entertainment device is an Apple TV.

I didn’t use adblockers when they had occasional normal ad breaks. Now when I have to watch on a TV app its just a garbage experience.

Domino’s does 2+ medium 2 topping for $6-7 each. Or you can get chicken or other random things like tots and bread. Not the best in any category but not awful so if you just need to feed some people it’s good by volume . My local pizza places are significantly better quality and price.

Ha, thats why I keep an old pair in the nightstand.

It’s got electrolytes!

Yep, just like autoplay video was common early on, then bad and now it’s common again starting with ads.

Search engines with actual results, now every search is about trying to sell you something. Searching for a product used to pull up its manufacturer and specs, now its just where to buy it or something like it.

Of course engagement is down, nobody wants to post anymore when most replies are spambot nonsense and cheech and chong gummies ads. It is still the best place for breaking sports news and my feed is highly curated to only see what I want.

It is not just that, they also pay IT staff below market rate so they don’t get the best people.

In the world of streaming devices the AppleTV is the only one I’ve used with no ads on the homescreen.

That’s pretty neat, every city needs constant road work

Pay for fiber 300, actual is about 365 each way

Look at the boys hand on the left too.

The case may be closed but you could open it and disconnect the battery. That model is a pain to replace the battery but easy to open and disconnect. Not sure if this would cause any issues if plugged in or if the machine would boot.

Same here, drove hatchbacks and sedans until 5 years ago and now have a crossover. It was good for a bit but now these new pickups and SUV headlights are right in my face again. Thinking installing a suspension lift and larger profile tires in the future. I do not want to drive a giant rectangle and can carry extra cargo if needed on my roof rack or cargo basket.

The ancient Hindu texts known as The Vedas possess elements common to both quantum physics and the concept of Synchronicity.

This is basically impossible unless you are buying commercial grade. Just buy whatever TV you want and never connect it to the internet.

I would tell a manager or HR about your problems but not tell them you plan to leave unless you are ready to get fired or hours cut.

After mask mandates lifted people actually seemed to be conscious around illness and stayed home or kept their kids home if they were sick. Lately it seems like sick people are everywhere especially this winter. In the past two months we had both covid and norovirus in the house.
