I was surprised at first but then i read the article. I thought it was going to be expensive until a saw that it won't effect folks who are living in hotels and such. So with that said, it's not that important to me. I'm not being crass, just thoughtful.
It's a solid show but this pay channel crap screws everything up. paying for one show is dumb since folks pay a ton of money for channels they DON'T watch.
I'm surprised that there are folks that would pay for another channel for what, a single show?
I see the Production value and it is very good but. That is not the Trek way.
I feel that the only folks getting this show are wealthy fans and Pirates.
Who are you protecting yourself from? For me, a VPN is good enough, as it stops geolocation tracking, and ISP shenanigans (a few years back, some of the big ISPs would actually attach/inject a unique ID onto each HTTP header being sent up.) A VPN stops that hanky-panky cold, although in theory, they could do it... but if it were found out, it is a lot easier to jump VPN providers than last-mile ISPs.
I'm not hiding from anyone. I just like my privacy and all of what you just said. I don't think anyone could argue your point.
Who cares when you're stoned out of your mind? And besides, they did taste good. I used to buy their stuff by the truckload. They only went broke because I left the country.
Prime doesn't help. Amazon routinely breaks the "Guaranteed Delivery By..." guarantee shown on the checkout page, even for Prime members. The standard compensation if you bother to pester them about it is to extend Prime membership by 1 month.
However, these count against you, and Amazon will eventually stop giving you free Prime. If you have too many demerits on your account (complaining about slow/delayed shipping, returning defective items, getting a price match, etc.) Amazon will straight ban your account.
I am in no way trying to offend you because of bad service to you.
Every time i have ordered from Amazon, it came earlier than the promised date.
How many employees can they fire in the process? I assume they're not keeping the same amount of employees as before as some tasks are be relegated to robots.
I don't think they fired anyone - the business is still growing, and turnover is high anyhow (it's a shitty job, by all accounts).
If you don't know about these robots, BTW, they're quite clever. It's a shame among all these overpriced social media startup acquisitions that Kiva wasn't worth a lot more. Rather that getting hung up on the problem no one has solved yet (picking the part from the bin on the shelf reliably and cheaply), they built a robot to move the whole shelf to a central locations where the humans do the rest. They solved a problem that was practical to solve, and it made a real difference to efficiency.
Eventually someone will solve the "picking problem" end-to-end, and then I'm sure those jobs will be gone.
This is really hurting my heart. People will be losing their jobs because of this. They would not be working there if, like most of our audience here had more advanced skills

That really is the only significance of the story. We have known this for decades. Everybody has that relative that you shouldn't let drink gin.
Gin will make you sin.

Yes! I have thought the same thing for years.
Can't wait to see that $120 price tag on ocean plastic shoes from $0.50 worth of drinking bottles. This changes everything.
Good thing I still wear Converse All-Stars.
Have you heard that Nordstroms is going to sell jeans that look like they have mud on them for $400.00? It looks like a perfect match.

Nope, I just gottired of all of the Twitterverse B.S. so i got rid of it as is my right as a U.S. Citizen.
I'm not going to "No Comment". I just unsubscribed from Twitter.
I can't stand facist moves like this.
We knew this already.
Tell me how to turn it off before it starts? :-)

Aargh!
I never thought of it that way.

Hey, i thought that was me...
What about VPN's?

Just saying.

I have been through the same thing. It suck's but we just have to keep going with the rules.
Pay attention!
Kid's don't need to be driving and texting at the same time.
Someone wanting to defend that?
Think about this: Your first DUI may be your last :-(
I hate frivolous lawsuits.
Hahahaha!
And i never troll.
Totally messed up and disrespectful. :-9
