Well - sounds truthful to me. Not sure why people are so willing to share their lives online.
disclaimer - I was on FB for awhile but always fabricated a few key details (DOB, city). Social media free now for 4 years and feeling better and better about it daily.
I had to turn off wifi for my phone. At home when I'm sleeping, the battery would drain 40%. Wifi off, it only drops 2-3%. I hate to think what my phone is doing when idle and connected to wifi. I have auto-sync to the cloud turned off (any pictures/contacts that are meaningful are backed up my own way)
I've scanned my devices and do not believe my network is compromised but I'm far from an expert.
You'd be amazed at the sporting events you can find via reddit.
I'm a big hockey fan, love watching it. Most games for my favorite team are broadcast on the regional Fox Sports channel. I'm not paying a cable package just to watch these games. I would get the NHL streaming package but those jerks blackout the games for my favorite team because my town is inside the magical 70 mile radius circle. So I found a reliable website that provides good quality streams that I can watch.
They lose so much money by making it so difficult for the customer to get what they want.
A small percentage of Americans actually leave the country. And while our broadband option may have decent speed it likely costs twice as much as most other countries.
My company has been on a soft hiring freeze the past year. We've had 4 people move on to other opportunities and have only been able to replace 1. It wouldn't be so bad if they'd spread some of that extra money out to those of us left (only 5 of us remain).
Overall sales look good however our industry is one of those most impacted by Trump's trade war. I do not disagree with his intentions on improving trade, especially with China.. but the plan seems to be just burn everything down.. I don't think there's a next step.
Religion provides a justification for some heinous acts... but this can also apply to any situation where someone in a position of power is instructing others (who willfully follow) to do a certain action.
The root cause is that there are just too many humans on the planet that are satisfied letting someone else tell them what to believe. As long as our species is this way, there will always be a select few who take advantage of it.
You sound like a 6 year old that got busted for doing something wrong and using the excuse "well Billy did it first!"...
Fox News makes my skin crawl. I don't ever watch MSNBC. I visit CNN but typically avoid any political story (which can be hard).
Trump is a lying SOB.. anyone still in denial is a moron. He is likely the worst human being that we've ever put in a federal position. He doesn't give a shit about America, he cares about Trump and money. Well, maybe he cares a bit about America because he can lie his ass off and get away with it.
I don't blame people for voting Trump over Clinton.. could Hillary be less likable? But the veil has been lifted and it's time to move on.
People are born different. One of my best childhood friends came out as being gay shortly after high school. Looking back, it's very obvious now. It wasn't a choice he made, it's just who he always was.
I'm not going to pretend to understand how anyone in those communities actually feel but I will respect them as individuals until given a reason not to. Their personal decisions have no impact on the lives of us, so why rant about it?
Just lower the regulations. They clearly have been over burdensome to business and a ploy of the socialist Democrats that want to ruin this great country.
I enjoyed the cassette days because I could easily make mixed tapes (that were crappy quality) and take them with me just about anywhere. I remember listening to the radio for hours waiting for my favorite song to play so I could record it. Of course I'd miss the first 5 seconds but it was worth it to me. I rode around on my bike with my little boom box thinking I was much cooler than I actually was. I had a walkman I used when I delivered newspapers after school.
The CD greatly improved quality but due to skipping it just wasn't as reliable when "on the go".
I have no desire to go back to cassette but I do have good memories of that era.
Come on.. now I'm not saying Chinese firms stole 5G technology or that commercial products from China are being used for spying..
...but China has been an active participant in corporate espionage for decades. To deny that is basically putting your head in the sand. Also, most major Chinese companies are backed by the Chinese government. Do the math.
Do you trust any government to not meddle in the affairs of their "investments"?
Probably to get patrons to enjoy their coffee then leave. Every Chipotle I've been in has very loud music that makes it difficult to have a simple conversation. My guess is they want the patrons to eat and get out as seating is limited.

Guards likely have those things called radios for communication.
Where I live we have one large bin that everything goes in. We rely on someone else sorting into individual commodities.
in japan they meticulously sort the recyclables and deliver to community bins. Of course they also aren't lazy like us Americans.
Maybe it was just an incompetent IT staff.
You can be arrested and released on your own recognizance.
Why would you make up your mind 18 months ahead of the election?
That's such a cop-out statement.
Pollution is bad, regardless of the long term impacts on the planet. I've been to Beijing, the orange haze is nasty.
We should be pushing technologies that eliminate the largest portion of pollutants.
I do have an Xbox One but do not plan on using this feature. I can see it being useful for some of those local co-op PC games.
The other option is to hook my PC tower up directly to the TV. Not as convenient with all the wires.
Well the industry has mostly moved away from the dark meat (which was more oily/fatty.. hence more flavor) to white meat.
Regarding tomatoes, ones you get off-season typically come from Florida, which has one of the worst soil types for growing tomatoes.
Admittedly I have not researched it but was stalling a big issue with these planes prior to implementing this anti-stall feature?
Just seems like a solution in search of a problem which often does not end well.
That's the lie you're still stuck on? He incapable as a human being of being.. fuck, I don't even know the a good word to use... decent?
Just be a decent human being...

I want DST all year.
Stop being so fucking insecure.

Make coal great again!
At this rate china will very quickly pass up the us.

Whatever happened to just ignoring what we did not like or do not find interesting? Now we have to tell the world that we don't like it?
WORLD - I DO NOT APPRECIATE WHEN MY WIFE RUINS MAC N CHEESE BY ADDING BROCCOLI.
Now the internet is a better place since you all know that I do not care for broccoli in my mac n cheese.
