  1. Pluto TV and others on Netflix is Testing Even More Expensive Subscription Prices (bgr.com) · · Score: 0

    If Netflix raises prices then people will go elsewhere. There are so many other options for tv shows and movies like the Pluto TV app, Sling tv, Tubi, Amazon + get music and of course shop for everything, and the thousands of apps with all kinds of content and over the air tv, see tvguide.com then What's On for free shows. Netflix is just not that special anymore.

  4. Road Diets & Weather on Even More Americans Have Stopped Biking To Work (usatoday.com) · · Score: -1

    Biking to work is not practical in many ways. It takes longer to get to work, you are restricted by road conditions on how to get there and then there is the weather. Too hot, humid, windy, raining, the cold, the snow. Now you arrive at work where your co-workers greet you with "Ewww what smells" . I have co-workers that go to the gym before work and do not shower afterward...
    Riding a bike for miles is as bad or gotta be worse smelling.

    In California and other states the democrats are removing lanes for cars, restricting cars and causing much longer commutes. They say it is to put in bike lanes but they want you in a bus or biking while the politicians ride around in taxpayer paid cars. The brush fire up in northern calif. this past year had deaths linked to a 4 lane being restricted to a 2 lane. The town accepted $3 million for road repair by the state several years earlier but it came with a demand to restrict lanes for cars.

  7. Ahh... the cloud on Microsoft's Outlook and Skype Are Facing Outages (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    This is what happens when you tie your company into Microsoft for something as basic and simple as email.
    Your business suffers and you do not get an apology let alone money from Microsoft.
    The Helpdesk I work at has been getting thousands of calls due to the initial 365 setup let alone this issue in just the past 2 weeks. Now times that by all the other companies involved.

    Thanks for the Affinity link. Coreldraw and Photoshop and Word and Wordperfect etc are falling behind apps that can do most of what you want and are far cheaper in price.

  11. Get SlingTV. I pay $25 a month and get more programming then I had with Time Warner when I was paying $144
    Been cable free since March 2016 saving almost $2,000
    Buy a tv antenna and get many free channels. Check out http://www.tvguide.com/ and click on Whats On for what is available in your area.

  12. There was a mile of ice over half of the USA. It melted on it's own due to the Sun. You know that bright object in the sky that warms all the planets.
    It will be nice to have someone focus on space flight instead of a climate scam that has made Al Gore so rich that he owns multiple homes that use more power then 23 other people and he flies around the world claiming we will destroy the planet by flying around the world.

  15. I bought two LG G3's at Ebay a few weeks ago. One as a replacement for my relative in another state and one for myself as a backup to my LG G3 as I do not have a landline. The $69 one had a slight scratch and the $98 one is in like new condition. They are from July 2014 and June 2015.
      I looked at the G4 and others but settled on the G3 as I never had an issue.
    Download the CPU-Z app and you will find the specs are nearly the same as the $800 Samsung S8.

    Try saying this in Minnesota when a swarm of mosquitoes, flies, no see ems descend on you as you step outside in the summer evening.
    You will get a mouthful of mosquitoes, flies, no see ems.

  17. In the Minneapolis area zip 55422 , Comcast charges $62/month for 25mb speed. My relative could get cheaper price and higher speed from a competitor but they service the area across the street and beyond and cannot cross the street to their home. They have had endless issues with reliable service.
    In the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles I now pay $41.95 a month from Earthlink for 60mb which uses Time Warner cable lines. They charged me $29.95 for the first 6 months. There are several competitors to choose from. Completion is a good thing.
