Yep Last paper book I tried to read was game of thrones, six months ago Gave up around page 80 and bought the kindle version of the five book bundle
I read on my iPad and laptop and only buy kindle versions. Amazon is like steam, lots of sales. Make a list of books and check the prices and buy for $5 when they go on sale
SMS? cool and expensive last decade. now most new cell phone plans offer unlimited SMS. same with prepaid. most new cell phone plans offer unlimited minutes in the USA to any phone as well. no point in using google voice to save your day time minutes
i dumped my land line phone a long time ago because my cell phone is unlimited minutes. unlimited SMS means i have lots of subscriptions like NYC Subway text alerts coming into my phone.
i've had google voice for years and rarely use anymore
border control mostly cares about plants, animals, insects, large amounts of precious metals, illegal drugs, kiddie porn
no one cares about you carrying around ripped music and movies
i've traveled around the world and from all the nonsense you read about US law enforcement i've had less trouble at US Customs than almost anywhere in the world. including Europe.
no high school diploma walked away from a job with one of the world's premier consulting companies being charged for espionage by the US Government and can never return to the USA may spend the rest of his life in jail on the run living on handouts from foreign governments
i'm sure the girls are backstabbing each other to get to him
california is expensive as well but they have ridiculous tax breaks for R&D which make starting a tech company profitable. i bet NYC and NY State have similar tax breaks.
AT&T isn't being nice being able to charge your phone on the go means you use more data and more people to go over their data plan allowance resulting in overages
i drive a little almost every day and there are two types of drivers i hate
the asswipes who speed dangerously, run red lights and take risks to save a few seconds here and there. unless autonomous cars are required i don't see people like this buying these. the cautious pricks. the idiots who stop when there is no stop sign just to be extra careful and let everyone on the road go in front of them holding up traffic. these people might buy these cars
if the cautious pricks buy these, they will be easy to go around since the auto cars will be extra careful. and driving in some heavy NYC traffic, the last thing i want is an auto car that lets everyone go in front of me. you have to pay attention to the lanes and go into the faster moving lanes
the Naval and Air Force Academies are some of the best engineering schools in the world. You have to be in the top 5% or higher in your high school class to even be considered to attend. and they have phd's as well
yep, and if you read the details most of these cases are you get this speed only if you live in the center of the nation's largest city. and its not available in the entire city either
most of the people complaining in the USA about broadband live out in the exuburbs or rural areas and want the gubment to pay for the infrastructure
and on career day in high school the garbage man had an awesome story. take a test, pick up trash for 2 years and then get some other job with the NY Dept of Sanitation. and the pay was awesome with no student loans
every time someone gives a description of a getaway car, the cops look it up in the state DMV database. my car's data is in there. my privacy is violated daily because my car might be coming up in searches
what's the big deal? i'm old enough to remember the nuclear cold war and as soon as it finished the french and other allies started spying on us commercially everyone spies on each other. you do it even if you don't plan on going to war. you do it so that when you negotiate you know how much to give and what to ask for.

Alexander almost always fought outnumbered. The Romans have won many battles outnumbered. same with the USA.
