kozt.com has some pretty good "adult rock" that isn't over-commercialized. It's owned by a former Program Manager of KLOS. Many of he DJs are of the old KPPC/KMET flavor.
No commercial link to me. I just like the station and the people that run it.
It's what radio used to be before corporations bought out the airwaves.
(FWIW, I used to listen to KNAC back in the late 60's. For a trip down memory lane, read "Radio Waves" by Jim Ladd)
When I first read the caption, I thought it was $50/year which would have been reasonable. Fifty bucks per movie is insane. I don' t think many will bite the hook.
Assemblyman Calderon (neophyte 31 yr. old politician, lib/dem) claimed IMDB was exhibiting "commercial speech" and not one of an individual. The judge didn't see it that way. I understand that a stupid, young politician might make such an inane law but what really bothers me is that Jerry Brown (California Governor) actually signed the stupid law without any legal basis. Calderon is the son of a politician and nephew of two others http://www.whittierdailynews.c... who pled guilty of corruption. Why he was elected???? Pretty incredible. At his recent wedding, guests were asked to give "cash gifts" (google it).
California is truly-screwed when it comes to politics.
I wonder why Calderon initiated the law (he's from Whittier, a ways from Hollywood). I googled about but couldn't find out why he's whoring himself to Hollywood.
It depends upon the station. I listen to one in Ft. Bragg, California that has very few commercials (KOZT).
Streaming FM radio via TuneInRadio gives you the choice of listening to FM stations that aren't receivable in my area so I can pick ones that aren't cramming a lot of commercials down my throat.
If Apple wants to prevent lithium batteries catching fire with private repairs, then they should provide high quality replacement batteries that don't catch fire.
I replaced the batter in my iPod and it wasn't a big deal. Yes, it would be more difficult in an iPhone but not impossible.
They're obviously attempting to create a repair monopoly.
When I was young, my uncle left a Playboy Magazine at our house. I saw it and my mother said "go ahead and look at it, the people in them are all the same".
No, they weren't. Even today, I have never seen a woman that is "the same".
When a kid/teenager can't get the real thing, good ol' Playboy did the job. It opened the wonder of women and all of their "parts" that I had never seen before. It was good old home entertainment. I wore out some pages on my favorite issues (no, they didn't get stuck together but they came close.... oops, pardon the pun).
When I read that Playboy eliminated the nudes, I couldn't believe it.
Actually, I saw the opposite with our HR department. This is a large (very large) computer company. We don't even *have* a HR department on site for over 3,000 employees.
Most of the HR functions were foisted upon management and the HR department is almost nonexistent.
At one time, they had a fully staffed office. It's used for storage now.
A lot of the tasks were either outsourced or moved down to Costa Rica for cheap labor.
Back in the "old days" news was more-neutral. Walter Cronkite for example had a degree of credibility. Now "news" is entertainment and profitable for the sources. The quality of "journalism" (if you want to call it that) has severely declined. Newscasters are now pretty faces and personalities vs. journalists.
Networks and newspapers used to be the primary news sources. Now everyone is a news source with blogs, smartphone cameras posting on youtube, etc. With "news" coming from so many sources, many with bias, it's up to the reader to filter out the truth.
On "Smarter Every Day", there was an interview with Obama and he was asked why news/people are so polarized. Though I'm not an Obama supporter (or Trump for that matter), Obama brought up an interesting point. That was that many people seek news sources that match their opinions, be it left, middle or right. That's all some listen to so they don't get a balanced viewpoint, only one that matches their bias.
It's very difficult to find a single unbiased news source.
I have a lot more respect for rugby players than football players.
I'd like to see football players stripped of all of their "protective clothing" instead of being a bunch of pussies.
They may as well just drive bulldozers to get the job done if they want to be "safe".
Rugby players are real men and don't need to wear all of the crap. The sport also doesn't have so much dead time (11 minutes of actual play time in an NFL game).
I googled how much actual "play time" is involved in a NFL game.
It's 11 minutes.
I see the Superbowl as nothing but a bunch of advertising, some shitty attempts at "entertainment" at half time and an excuse to get a bunch of people together to eat a shitload of food.
It is a good time to do some traveling though as the freeways aren't crowded during the game.

I'm a paying customer. Where's my remuneration for my problems?

India is in Asia.

I can go to a cheepo matinee for $7/head. Why should I pay $50?
I can do without the concessions.
Cats go on auto-pilot well.
Dogs destroy when left alone too long.
My friend's dog is a PITA. Chases and kills wildlife, chases deer. He thinks it's "great".
He wants to take it camping and fishing. Would I (in turn) take my damned cat and foist it on him?
I think my cat has psychosis. She's normal, lets me gently pet her, then she growls and chomps my finger after random delays.

When you talk about reliability, no.
I've gone through 3 "post Carly" HP printers and they all had mechanical failures.
I switched to Canon.
We're talking about government "workers". Perhaps they were upgrading their LGBTQRSTV skills or brushing up on break taking.
Put the BS filter on a politician's output (or most CEOs for that matter) and resultant output would be silence.
Why go to so much effort, expense and time to design a straw for such a crappy, stupid drink?
Why not just come up with a rational idea for a new drink that is homogeneous?
They've created an unnecessary problem.

A lot of FM radio stations have streaming internet radio.
I listen to one every day via TuneInRadio.
Works both at home and in the car.

Agreed. There is nothing worse than someone giving you a "leaping monkey" and ending the message with "Thank you in advance".
Most of the time, they're trying to offload a task on me that is their responsibility.
I'd much prefer a two way conversation vs. lobbing something over the fence to me.
These were most notable with the "working from home" bunch that didn't want to come in to do their job.
When I was young, my uncle left a Playboy Magazine at our house. I saw it and my mother said "go ahead and look at it, the people in them are all the same".

I'm glad they went back to their roots.
You're making things way too complicated.
Simply trigger a FET to short out the battery from a remote signal. Viola! Incendiary phone.

The balancing must be done by us now.
Naw. He'll change his gender identity and get a presidential pardon.
That's how it works.
