The problem is, once you've spent that extra $1K, The manufacturers will say "Hey, they're willing to spend $1K more on TVs, let's raise all our prices!"
No, because their TVs, lacking the payments for advertisements, will be $50 more expensive and people will ignore them. I would not be surprised to see TVs soon that DEMAND network connectivity to function. Perhaps a modding community might spring up to eliminate this.
You're correct, but left out the part where they self flagellate, admit their failures, and now belong to the "good" group of upstanding people who CARE.
The worst part of the doctor google is the completely over the top nature of the prognosis. Me: My hand hurts . google, search "Hurt hand". Google: you may have a sprain. or a pulled muscle. or horrible hand cancer which will eat your soul. Me; oh no!
I am also not an Airplane nerd, but if the issue causing sensors to fail is environmental ( Ice, water, etc) it is possible that multiple sensors could fail identically, resulting int he pilot being More sure that it's not a sensor failure. Of course, I could be totally wrong.
Bah, at Toys R us in the 80s, we had the Ewok song. I even knew the words to it, and the words are nonsense. This gem repeated hourly in case you care:
Yub nub, eee chop yub nub; Ah toe mee toe pee chee keene; G'noop dock fling oh ah.
Yah wah, eee chop yah wah; Ah toe mee toe peechee keene; G'noop dock fling oh ah.
Coatee cha tu yub nub; Coatee cha tu yah wah; Coatee cha tu glowah; Allay loo ta nuv.
Glowah, eee chop glowah; Ya glowah pee chu nee foom, Ah toot dee awe goon daa.
*Coatee cha tu goo; (Yub nub!) Coatee cha tu doo; (Yah wah!) Coatee cha tu too; (Ya chaa!) Allay loo ta nuv, Allay loo ta nuv, Allay loo ta nuv.
Glowah, eee chop glowah. Ya glowah pee chu nee foom; Ah toot dee awe goon daa.
* Coatee cha tu goo; (Yub nub!) Coatee cha tu doo; (Yah wah!) Coatee cha tu too; (Ya chaa!) Celebrate the love. Celebrate the love. Celebrate the love. Celebrate the love.
Oddly, I developed a skillset some time ago to completely ignore any outside sounds while working or concentrating. I didn't train for it, didn't try to do it, but I noticed one day that I can be sitting in a REALLY loud restaurant, eating lunch and reading a book, and completely block out loud conversation and incessant music until I concentrate on it. It's not a hearing thing, my hearing is fine. My brain just makes it, literally, background noise. I'm quite happy with this- I can sit down anywhere and work efficiently- but for the life of me can't tell you how I managed to gain this skill.
As a teenager, I worked a summer job at Toys R Us back when they existed. They played the same music loop, hourly, for my entire stint there. Management was smart enough to know the system was annoying, as they used special cassettes that couldn't be easily replaced. To this day, I can quote the goddamn Ewok song verbatim, and if I have to listen to another round of California Dreaming, I may kill myself.
People don't understand mental issues until they have one. Then it's all "but wait, I'm different". There is a clear line between being tough and having a problem. Sometimes the solution for having a problem is being tough. Other times, it's not.
Your comment depressed the hell out of me, which, oddly enough, means I'd be completely terrible at this job. Get around the employment history by doing some volunteer work.
I don't really care what most actors and actresses say. I do care, however, if my deciding to not see a movie somehow makes me a (fill in the blank) -ist. Which is what we're seeing. People aren't rating the movie, they're rating their desire to see it.
The Orville was/is awful. It was like McFarlane sold them a parady of star trek, realized Galaxy Quest had already been made, then decided to try to make it serious. Sort of. I remember seeing it with a friend, after he was over he asked me "wasn't that supposed to be funny?". I honestly didn't have an answer.
I've had a whole crew of cops surround me , pointing guns, and forcing me out of a building at gunpoint. you know what? they were right. I was working in a bank, on a weekend, next to a freeway. We accidentally set off the alarm, and the person responsible for answering alarm calls never answered her phone. held my hands up in the air, they walked me out and handcuffed us, then we were cleared a few minutes later.
The argument's backwards. Why would you want to make your opponent MORE vocal, and give him actual ammunition. People might previously think he's a crackpot. He gets pulled over this way, not so much.

You just proved his point. Congratulations!
So prove it. We can't simply avoid everything based on "it might be bad".
I tire of commentors being called out, by name, by those under AC accounts. I guess I shouldn't read at 0.

You are incorrect.

I'm not exactly sure what you tried to say. Are you AI?
No, it's not.
Let me rephrase that: it "ain't".
ironically, "the sounds of silence" was on the loop music at a prior job.

Music is fine, it's the constant repetition of it that kills you.

I do not think Vial means what you think it means.
I kinda like this idea. Or rotate: You watch awful periods for a day, then spend another day on some other task.
