They certainly give the impression they do with their internet+TV+phone bundling
That is the impression that I got when I cancelled my digital TV service to go only internet. That lady was tripping all over herself to make sure I had at least basic cable. She even took $25 off the internet only option I was looking at to give me basic cable. So I basically got free basic cable and a $25 discount.
Suddenly, I'm not so sure I got a great deal. What did Aahz say? "Count your fingers and your toes, then your nearest relatives?"
Depends on how big your family is. But to answer your first question, No. If you have Netflix you really don't need HBO.
My whole family uses our netflix subscription. I personally subscribe to Curiosity Stream and Great Courses Plus. My daughter has a Cruncyroll subscription. My son and son in law are pretty cheap so they both get by with youtube.
If it was just me in the house there would only be GreatCourses Plus and Curiosity Stream and the PBS app. I'm not sure about Netflix.
Sweden you are considered innocent until proven guilty
Oh please. In no country are you considered innocent until proven guilty. That looks great posted to the side of a billboard but other than that is bullshit. In court and to the police you are guilty until proven beyond all doubt that you are innocent, even then you are still guilty.
Serious question here but is everyone a Russian puppet to you people? No doubt that is he is rapist and that is why Sweden wanted him. But a Russian agent to boot now?
Trumps actions isn't going to help. It will just strengthen the EU Resolve to enforce it.
Sometimes trumps twitters are entertaining. Sometimes he is is own worse enemy. Maybe we should fit trump with a shock collar and get the remote to his secret service goons.
A better plan would be to find a large iron asteroid in the outer solar system. Then direct it around the sun a few times to pick up speed. Then slam it into the planet. I'm picturing a rifle bullet through a water melon here. That way instead of just the diamonds you can get at all the inner earths goodies.
Of course I think there might be another problem with this plan. I just can't think of it right now.......
There is the flaw in your logic my friend. It's only $5 million to those of us that can do math, but this US government math we are talking about. So in actually to get your plan in place would cost $50 billion and take 20 years.
I looked some into this, about as far down that rabbit hole as I wanted to go. Which was a little past the door hinges. What I did look in to flies in to the face of solid scientific theory or simply can't be proven.
I'll tell you what. I have some down time coming and I'm still interested in this EU theory. With Immanuel Velikovsky hitching his wagon to it I'm sure its poppy cock but who knows.
I was actually thinking of shredding them and using them as fillers in other materials. Like they sometimes do with old car tires. Everything is recyclable. Sometimes you just have be creative.
Until it was mentioned her on/. I have never heard of it. After it was mentioned I looked into it some more, because I never heard of it. What I found was half baked pseudo scientific bunch of mumbo jumbo with this crackpots name attached to it, Immanuel Velikovsky. That pretty much sealed the deal for me. Once I saw that name I decided there was nothing more of value here.
Damn you slashdot! I read the first post and saw that someone might have an answer for dark matter. I never really liked the dark matter answer ether. I thought Cool
But I've never heard of this "Electric universe" theory. I did a quick google search and now I know why. First name I saw associated with the theory, Immanuel Velikovsky.
Now I know why I have never heard of it. I came in here hoping for a sound scientific theory, only to leave with a pseudo scientific pile of bullshit. I can't even fertilize my petunias with this bullshit.

I quote "For example, the copper in the wires used to transmit power from the turbine to the grid will have to be stripped of its plastic insulation, a task which would entail serious labor costs." Now tell me that doesn't sound like utter BS disingenuous facts twisting.
Considering that copper isn't used to transmit power, to expensive, and it wouldn't be covered with plastic, not needed. Yeah, its bullshit.
But for shits and giggles less assume plastic coated copper would be used for that. It would still have to be stripped of plastic insulation even if was coming from piece of shit coal plant or a state of the art nuclear.
That is what I'm waking away with. The turbine blades are defiantly recyclable. We just have to figure out a good way to do it. They are huge ass pieces of composite, I imagine they could be sliced into strips and used as building material for other projects. Then I gain I don't know much about wind turbines.
What I do know is some things about engineering. Seems to me the only things that will really wear out are the bearings, blades, and electronics. All the costs of these will be take account of in maintenance cost.
This is truth. I don't mind ads. Some ads I even like to see. I don't even mind a certain level of targeting. I would much rather see ads about computer hardware than ads about vaginal cream.
I draw the damn line when the ad is a video that auto plays, that I can cut the fuck off, and chases me down the damn screen.

I find interesting on YouTube to make up the gap
My son and son in law almost exclusively like to watch youtube. There is some pretty good content on there and with some high production values.

To the person that gave me some grief over a joke in another thread. Still think we shouldn't party like its 1789?

The TDS is strong in this one.

"Sir are you on twitter?"
"No...."
Burrrzaaapppp
Better plan. How about you learn to take a joke for what it is, a joke.
Tell that to the French. To bad we don't party like its 1789 anymore.

Other wise it a great ideal.

That site doesn't doesn't seem to be working. I tried to get something useful out of it for 5 minutes. 4 min and 30 seconds longer than I'm required.
I'll tell you what. I have some down time coming and I'm still interested in this EU theory. With Immanuel Velikovsky hitching his wagon to it I'm sure its poppy cock but who knows.
I'll read up on it and make up my own mind.
I was actually thinking of shredding them and using them as fillers in other materials. Like they sometimes do with old car tires. Everything is recyclable. Sometimes you just have be creative.
So, which is it?
Until it was mentioned her on /. I have never heard of it. After it was mentioned I looked into it some more, because I never heard of it. What I found was half baked pseudo scientific bunch of mumbo jumbo with this crackpots name attached to it, Immanuel Velikovsky. That pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Truth as been spoken. "Show me the math." Funny how they can never do this.
Damn you slashdot! I read the first post and saw that someone might have an answer for dark matter. I never really liked the dark matter answer ether. I thought Cool

Wait!!
We could have had active laser armed drones that zap mosquitoes roaming the streets. An we went with this?

It's definitely an anti-wind hit piece.

The closed the last video store in my home town. Then they set a redbox out on the sidewalk in front of it. Talk about adding insult to injury.
