You obviously put more value in surfing the internet, which is what 90% of it is, than I do. Not having tabs to me isn't exactly the same as suffering from dehydration.
In the end they're all just web browsers, and all pretty much get the job done. I'll use whatever happens to be available. I'll typically install iron but won't cry myself to sleep if it isn't available. The only thing I really care about is an adblocker.
Of course I come from the days of Mosaic and waiting for images to download on a 9600 baud modem and we were happy for it. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the advances, but in the ends its a web browser.
The actual 'reason' is that you'll typically have a follow up a week or so after your new contacts are being used and they can evaluate if you're having any issues that may cause infection or worse later down the road.
Contacts really are different than eye glasses which if you can see are pretty harmless and tend not to bind to your eyeball if they dry out and rip your cornea off.
The only reason you need a Dr prescription is that they were able to lobby to make it a requirement because they were losing so much contact business from 1800 contacts. Now they've managed to require contacts have a 1 year expiration to make you go toss $100 each year to get a new prescription.
were the kids they decided to have when all the men came back from the war.
The labor force wasn't set up to handle men and women working. And they were smart enough to quit and become home makers rather than have their husbands sit home getting drunk all day and smacking them around out of frustration of being useless.
Perhaps poorly worded, but the intent was that for the inevitable 'I HAVE NOW CHOICE BUT TO USE ELECTRICITY WHERE I LIVE' responses I was stating that you're better off with a modern heat pump than running your computers for heat or electric baseboard heaters.
It's ok to kill puppies and kittens too as long as they make a good coat.
The real problem with what you say is there are better ways to heat your home than electricity. And if you do have to use electricity to do it even a modern heat pump is better than straight electric heating.
Sounds nice, but in reality it doesn't happen a whole lot. Give a company the chance to sell however much they can as fast as they can and they will. This all has to do with inventory stock piling. Sure you can start to stock pile 6 months before xmas, but that costs money to warehouse them. Time from make to sell is in one of the most important metrics.
Not to mention just because you may want X units for xmas doesn't mean the factories can deliver them.
Including video games that used to be about just having fun. Now if you don't dangle a carrot in front of them they won't even play something that is for their own enjoyment.
Isn't xfinity 1TB? I was assuming the market they were going for was the areas where they have a land line presence but cable ruled. They seem way low for their 'average' for people who want to dump cable and go with streaming.
That used to be anyone who had an opinion and shared it. Now we need a new phrase for it in order to generate clicks. I hate what the world is becoming....
Exactly what data are they collecting that they already aren't, and how are they supposed to get it? I sit the couch and watch tv. As does my family. There is no way of knowing which of us is doing it, if we even really are in the room. We don't interact with it other than channel surfing. All stuff they can already gather.
I get it, the big picture is somehow they'll know your fridge is out of coke and they'll suddenly morph in sparkling cans of coke on every table in the restaurant that happens to be on tv. Fat chance. In the baby steps of even dreaming such a scenario I just don't get how they even get out of the starting gate in any meaningful way.

Can't this guy be put in jail for impersonating a Dr? Pretty sure writing fake prescriptions is pretty illegal.

Of course waste is bad. But big numbers are meaningless unless some sort of frame is defined.
Spending their student loans on the other hand.

It's cheaper to train young workers who are getting paid less.
Honestly they should have gotten someone with nicer looking lower legs. She has no ankles.

If you've accumulated the money he is and still isn't spending it then he may as well not even made it at all. What a waste.
I also suspect he's lying in that he frequently buys things that are much more than his cups of coffee saved just because he can.
I bet he doesn't drive a 1992 Escort for instance.

The tax revenue loss for gas will have to be made up somewhere. Roads don't pave and maintain themselves.
That's why verizon stopped with fios rollout. They deem going to the house with it cost prohibitive.
On average it'll go ~ 100'. From the pole to a window. Fiber or something else on the poles.
It amazes me how many people on here don't seem to realize this has nothing to do with cell phones.

Actually there is no difference. The game is exactly the same whether you perceive it as grinding or not.
Nobody else wanted his batteries so they had plenty of stock.

Leave it to the people on slashdot to get their panties in a twist without thinking anything through.
