There's plenty of physical cash in vaults lying around.
The "nice" thing about paper money is that as inflation bites in, you just print bigger denominations on the paper. I mean, just take the ZImbabwe trillion dollar bills if you want an example.
No. The Fed has printed up a bunch of money, given it to the banks and is paying them interest to not release it into the wild. This allows them to lend out money at cheaper rates and supposedly helps the economy (in a "what could possibly go wrong?" kind-of way).
Not saying anything against people who like those foods (not a big fan myself), just there are better foods to be grown if we're talking about feeding people.
Given that I moved to Comcast to improve my Netflix experience, they are in serious danger of losing me as a customer unless they sort this shit out themselves.
The ISPs work for the end-user. Content providers provide the content and need to contract with their provider to provide the bandwidth they need.
So the ISPs should be dealing with the end-users. If they want to have tiered options, fair enough but don't promise unlimited bandwidth and then cry when people watch Netflx all day.
Now, Netflix does offer to install systems that will cache content locally at ISPs, saving them *massively* on upstream bandwidth costs and improving the customer experience but companies like Comcast have a conflict of interest with their own content provision services. Netflix is a direct threat to their cable TV operations and are to be given no quarter.
Gah, until the payment/production model changes, it's not worth even starting watching something until there's at least a couple of seasons complete. And even then, you're not safe (Stargate Universe). Ideally, if a show were turning a profit, it would continue getting made but it's always other considerations that come into play, even such stupid things as a newly promoted exec wanting to make their mark.
The price plunged to around $90 (and lower) but has since played well above $400. The previous change was a dumb move but the low price was well undervalued (and I was lucky enough to take advantage of that). I think they've immunized themselves against such a fairly small increase causing them any problems this time.
As someone who has traveled around the world a bit and who is an outsider living in the southern US, it frequently astounds me the prejudicial attitude of those from elsewhere who consider themselves enlightened and because it's not against blacks, homosexuals or women, they don't give it a second thought. Open your mind, maybe see a little of the world. You'll likely be surprised to find out it's not like you think and you'll find a lot of smart, educated people who just happen to have a different perspective from yourself but share many of the same values.
A pot with liquids in it will probably not be far off 100C, particularly if there are a few seconds between getting it from the stove to the top. A frying pan would be more likely to cause damage (I have scorched a top with one before).
But dude, you completely fail to account for the huge tragedy of people who will close their garage door and leave the engine running to get a good dose of fumes.

I'm just waiting for another two releases of this so I can have the Illum III
Don't worry, the way things are going, they'll get there soon enough.

Doing good so far. Several events that would have destroyed other options and still rolling.

I noticed cause the first time I heard the joke, the punchline went something along the lines of "Oh, wouldn' I?" , "Oh, wooden leg"
It can probable be seen as some kind of bargaining chip also. If Netflix is dependent on content from others, it makes them vulnerable.
I used the wrong word. I'm more talking about the data caps. The actual bandwidth should, of course, just be whatever has been sold to the customer.
The point is, Comcast, Verizon et al should not be complaining about Netflix.
I believe it's more about the control they have over the data pathway.

Hemlock Grove was not too bad an effort either. I think they're probably going the right way in producing their own content.

And the price of Prime didn't just go up a little, it went up a lot.
Then there's inflation to account for too. I'm sure Netflix' cost has gone up over the past few years.
I cedar what you did there.
woosh
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Corn is high in starch, low in nutrition. We can do better.
How does a hair-lip relate to the limp?
Imagine if you could build a 3D printed hand with a built-in 3D printer.

Corn *is* a low-return case as a fuel.
