Netflix originals sport an average rating of 3.85 stars out of five; all other content averages 3.47 stars.
It's not that the original content is rated more highly, it's that the rest of the catalog is rated lower. And that's because Netflix has been squeezed by licensing costs and has thinned its catalog of high quality material. I don't need another supplier of original content, I need someone who can replace a great video store, with a deep collection of film that goes back to the 1930s, and up-to-date selections from today.
The driver, who has to be there to help the truck get on and off the interstate exit ramps, moved to the backseat
How is the demonstration any more compelling with the driver in the back seat? It's more daring, but assuming the driver sits front left and doesn't touch anything, it's no less compelling.
In addition to the foundation's annual reports, Charity Navigator also reviews their independently audited financial statements and 990 forms, here. You'll need to move on to the foundation lying to the federal government and buying off the auditors.
I actually get better content since I cut the cable, from my antenna than the $60/month cable plan I had with Cox.
Indeed. If you like to watch movies and reruns from the 30-70s, and live in a broadcast-rich city, the number of networks (e.g., Movies!, GetTV, LAFF, MeTV, Cozi, Decades, Escape, Grit, Bounce, Ion, The Works) on sub-channels is pretty amazing.
Except the phone still COMES with headphones that work just fine.
Until you try to plug them into an airplane's entertainment system. Or the headphone jack on the side of your desktop computer speakers. Or a transistor radio. Or anything else outside of the newest Appleverse. Then they don't work just fine.
Like a lot of technologies, people cling to it because it's familiar, unchanged, simple.
Wired headphones never need to be recharged. That is vastly more important to me on a day-to-day basis than dealing with a cord, which has never really been a problem.
Harry Lime: Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't. Why should we? They talk about the people and the proletariat, I talk about the suckers and the mugs - it's the same thing. They have their five-year plans, so have I. Martins: You used to believe in God. Harry Lime: Oh, I still do believe in God, old man. I believe in God and Mercy and all that. But the dead are happier dead. They don't miss much here, poor devils.
Martins: Have you ever seen any of your victims? Harry Lime: You know, I never feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax - the only way you can save money nowadays.
Answer the phone with "Hello," and as soon as it's clear it's a telemarketer, say "You're on the air!" Respond to anything they ask with "You Are Live! On the Air!" There's usually a long pause while they search in vain for a relevant branch in their conversation tree, then they hang up.
First they came for the Integral Domains, and I did not speak out,
Because I did not use Integral Domains.
Then they came for the Riemann Hypothesis, and I did not speak out,
Because I did not use the Riemann Hypothesis.
Then they came for the Elliptical Curves, and I did not speak out,
Because I did not use Elliptical Curves.
Then they came for Cryptography—and there was no one left to speak for Cryptography.

Investigation? Risotto!
You do understand that the Clinton foundation proves only a small percentage to an actual charity. The bulk of every dollar is overhead
Where "small percentage" is 86.9%?
Aren't we worried about LED streetlights that emit too much blue light? Now we're making the bike pathways glow blue?
Where do they get the NFL season pass if they aren't subscribing to DirectTV?

With Comcast's world-class bad customer service, what could possibly go wrong?
... and hope this program is still around in 2 years when your patent is actually approved.
Two years if you're lucky.

I hate Comcast so much that I wish I could cancel them a second time.

How about renaming it to something that doesn't suggest it will automatically pilot your car?

It's not HTML that's the problem. It's computers. It's SILICON. We need to impound all of the world's beaches.
It appears that Bluetooth 5.0 may provide support for higher quality audio.
Will it work with headphones that never need charging?

you mean illegal aliens entering our country. legal immigrants he has no problem with.
It's native-born judges of Mexican lineage that he has a problem with.
I complained about a flat soda that was in one of my 12 packs on twitter... No response. :(
You should stop buying Every Twelfth Can is Flat brand soda.
