After Google re-connects her account, she should retroactively check her e-mail and have the error corrected so as to not have been disconnected.
And how, praytell, could she have corrected the error?
The problem was caused by the taxes going up, which Google passed on to their customers instead of absorbing it themselves. That caused her to owe a whopping 12 cents, for which Google had no mechanism for her to pay, other than making a trip in person to Mountain View to hand over a dime and two pennies.
Certain sporting events seem really choppy, such as when an ice skater does a triple axel. It seems like a series of still frames for a fraction of a second...
On a positive note, that at least gives you a little extra time to check out her ass while she is spinning.:D
People are going to abuse the hell out of this. They'll put excrement, used condoms, dead rodents, vomit, or god knows what else for the next customer to deal with.
Alright. Now I need to go see if Netflix has Drawn Together. The above brought Spanky Ham's "sausage" pizza prank to mind.
The so-called 'ruling elite' want people to be in a constant state of terror, because that effectively turns off their higher reasoning abilities, and in their perpetual panic, they look for someone, anyone, who appears to be able to 'save them'.
That would explain the rash of scare articles that I have been scrolling by on my FB page solemnly warning about the extreme dangers of pretty much anything you may be dealing with every day out in the real world that we have to operate in.
My bad, people. I still conflate Internet of Things with Things on the Internet (traditional things like routers and game consoles and whatnot).
Let me refine my statement to something more like:
If the IoT device in question has sufficient documentation for the user to configure securely, then they are the first line of blame if they do not do their due diligence in securing it. But they are also first to be responsible for their actions if the IoT device in question has reports easily available with a Web search and has been reported as having flaws and vulnerabilities that the manufacturer simply refuses to address. At that point, if they still go ahead and buy, then get owned; or whatever it is that happens to IoT devices, then it was their fault for going forward with the purchase and installation.
Personally, I will always prefer that my appliances and other things that would be part of this IoT, not participate; with this little anecdote as a good cautionary tale:
My girlfriend asked me once, "Why do you carry your sidearm around the house? What are you so afraid of?" I said, "The fucking Decepticons."
She laughed, the toaster laughed, I laughed; then I shot the toaster, and my gal never questioned my habits again.
I would say that if a user does not at least make a good faith effort to secure his things using the documentation available, and his stuff gets compromised, then the majority of the responsibility falls on his shoulders.
If the user does do his best to secure it, and it still gets compromised, then the blame falls on whatever entities were responsible for the development of whatever component was the weak link.
Higher price plus "free" delivery is identical to how "free" shipping works on any ecommerce site. The worst case scenario shipping (otherwise farthest domestic zone especially of weight based) is calculated and added to the price. Anyone with even 2 brain cells to rub together knows that there really is no such thing as free shipping.
We have one liquor store here. And if someone on public assistance were to try to buy booze with their food benefits, she would probably be turning their (possibly) lazy asses in.
I'm confident the convenience store personnel around town would as well.
I think beer would be a little more difficult. A 6-pack of beer probably would be about the smallest unit amount you'd want to deliver. 1 metric fluid ounce of water is about but not exactly 1 metric ounce (can we just switch to the metric system already)
We grow our own here in Oregon. Been nearly 2 years since I had to pay for weed. And back then, it was a pretty steep $100 an ounce.
And on that note, it is time to go both break and fulfill Mosaic law. In other words, I finish this work that I am doing on the sabbath, and then I can go get stoned. (And I don't even believe in any deities. If I did though, I would put together my own pantheon consisting of my perception of various beings from Sumerian, Egyptian, Earth/Nature Based, and other mythologies based on what sort of party animals and general hawtness they tend to have.):D
It is a good bet the one who saved the day, simply had everyone turn away while he quietly removed a cauldron of water and replaced it with a cauldron of wine he had stashed.
Get in my car, go to the liquor store, chuckle again about them being between a bank and a convenience store, choose bottle of Kraken, pay the $20 (or less if it is on sale) for it; make a little bit of small talk with the nice elderly lady running the place, then head home. Total time involved, anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes.

That is similar also to the old gag of after taking roll call, finishing with, "If you are not here, raise your hand."

It was completely out of her hands.
Perhaps they accidentally poached some developers from their incompetent neighbors over in San Jose (aka eBay).
o/~ Here comes a candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head. o/~
That is just typically a silly little joke and minor harmless ribbing.
In fact, I have a little twist on that one that I use myself.
"Eh, Chinese, Japanese, Korean... Those Asian gals look the same... Hot." :D

Don't make me sic the mutant sea bass on you.
And which Moon Unit gets to actually manage it, Moon Unit Alpha or Moon Unit Zappa?
I would mod you up if I hadn't already posted... and if I had points.
But I did not get that result this time around. Nope, it was "Drawn Together is available on DVD only."
Fortunately, watchartoononline has it.

Well, I forgot that this did involve Amazon and Prime. oops.

Some microbrews are $10 for a four pack now. Not worth it at all.
And that probably gives you a much better buzz for the buck than the cheapo beer flavored waters (you know, like Bud, Coors, etc).

Better?

Just ask Sea Man.
I prefer my alternative.

Buddy, Jews attacking New York would make as much sense as you attacking your own mosque.
Or NAMBLA attacking Marlin Brando films.
Well, I have determined it can be amusing to fool MILF Nature.
I am more likely to associate the John Deere colors with the Oregon Ducks, before I think of John Deere.
