Although not understood well in the U.S., the U.S. news model (prior to Mr. Murdoch coming here) involved trying report the news as objectively and free of a political angle as possible (most U.S. newspapers still do this)
Had to find an analogue heater - since the power was going to turned off & on, that was the hardest part.
This got me too but with our fans. If I have to press the power button after plugging in the fan, then the smart plug was useless (for that purpose) since basically the switch is like turning the fan on and off.
I just did most of the smart coverting in my house (need to change a few light switches - just need to make sure I have the neutral cords since it's an older house.) Most of the lights I was just able to put in a 20 year smart led light bulb.
They care very much about you buying toothpaste. They also care about the brand, where you get it, what you pay, what else you buy at the same time... Your shopping habits are made of gold.
And...? I know... privacy... Lord help me if Amazon knows what my shopping needs are. That said, anything I buy on Amazon (or Google) is done with the understanding that record will be kept indefinitely. So I make sure to not look up or buy private embarrassing stuff from these companies. But at least 98% of what I shop for can be public with no embarrassing impact to me. And the gain for me (relevant products useful to me) is worth giving them that 98%
It's not always a matter of need. I don't need a remote control for my TV. I don't need an automatic transmission. I don't need lots of things I have.
Just because you don't find it useful, doesn't mean that others do not. I recently set up my house including my door lock with smart stuff. It's pretty nice to be able to turn off the lights if the kids left them on when they were running late for school. It safe and more secure to give my father father-in-law a temporary code to unlock the door (or to buzz him in even though I'm at work ) for my house without letting him borrow a key (and hoping he doesn't make a spare.)
That is where choice comes in. Your desire to remove that choice from the market is extremely anti-poor / middle class.
If you can afford the bigger more efficient unit, awesome. Do your research or pay a pro to do the research and get that expensive unit.
Most people that can afford higher cost versions of items are not buying AC units at Walmart.
For some people (myself being one of them) buying an AC that will work for 3-4 years is an option. Buying one that will last for 10-15 years is not. Not having an AC for 3-5 years while saving up for the better AC is not a legit choice all the time. I live in Texas. My deceased wife had MS. She was not able to be in extreme heat for long periods of time without having a relapse. Waiting 3-5 years so that we could wait for the better unit was not a real choice for us.
Some families (like mine) don't fit in anything less than a minivan. It is safer for us to risk the "rollover" rather than "lapping it" .
That said, we usually just rent an minivan for long drives and risk lapping in the city it even though we are more likely to be in an accident in the city. Gas + cost of SUV is just to damn high.
The problem with vaping/e-cigarettes is that there is no standard for what chemicals are included in the nicotine solution, and what the consequences of direct inhalation and inhalation of the second-hand vapers are.
This sorts itself out. You can buy high quality stuff with lots of reviews or cheap stuff from sites that pop up overnight. It's pretty basic/cheap ingredients that go into making this fluid so not much gain for any e-liquid company to decide to chose a more dangerous solution.
There also need to be some standards set for the batteries and chargers, as there have been explosions from poorly manufactured batteries and improperly charged batteries.
This is a battery issue unfairly made into a vaping issue. We had a phone catching on fire a while back. Did we state all phones are dangerous as a result?
If it wasn't a big issue, then why did Obama waste some much time on it?
Or do you mean, since it's an issue that you already one, it's not a big issue? If we go back to requiring people to use the bathroom of their biological gender, would you consider it an issue worth spending time on "fixing" again?
Unless you see not wanting a man in the same bathroom as your 4 year old daughter a human dignity issue.
I can't even be in the same bathroom as my daughter to keep her safe (assuming she uses the gender appropriate bathroom) but some guy stating he identifies as a girl can.
I remember a lot of hate from grabbing from debian sources then making iy hard for debian to incorperate any changes that ubuntu did. They would send back giant changelogs and diffs without any real documentation

Really, which ones?

Yeah, but I don't need anything of those.

If you promise something and then fail to deliver, I'll call you a liar. Simple as that.
Trying to do something and failing makes you a liar?
Well then, every president from Obama to Washington is a liar. In fact, almost everyone is a liar by that definition.
Lol. I plan on pirating it but even I'm not so naive to act like that doesn't cost them anything.
I can't remember the last time I picked up a TV series box set which I used to do quite often.
If the Star trek show looks good (and isn't ridiculously priced like the previous treks) I would have eventually impulsed bought it.
For me, the game has to be one I played when growing up. Then the nostalgia can overcome any shortcomings or unfair comparisons to today's games.
I'm not sure if anyone was willing to spend the money to develop this tech with the hope that the FCC would change its mind.
Ahh. You must have thought this was a slashdot poll, couldn't find the vote button and posted instead.
So basically, you are extreme leftist so anything not at your level is right of your (not the) center.
I think even NPR would acknowledge they have a leftist bias they would just argue how much that effects their coverage.
(TFS didn't claim that 80% preferred mobile, but I thought it was mildly ambiguous.)
I read it close to that too. I read it as primarily got their news from mobile.
Saying that people get some news from mobile doesn't really mean anything.

If you don't follow this you probably wouldn't know this but allot of eliquid vendors are no longer using nicotine from tobacco.

In fact, it's the tobacco companies pushing most of these regulations on e-cigarettes.

True. It's totally an American thing. Thanks why the show never got cancelled because the American audience loves it so much!
They didn't have the votes to stop a hearing committe.
The one area they did have the votes to be able to obstructe they tried to use (the filibuster) .
So what party does the "moderate conservative" creimer vote for?

Are you able to access the kodi site or install addons?
kodi.tv is down:(
The only addons I can now download are from superrepo which I had to add
I'd love to see more firefly. I'm not sure it would piss off Fox, though. Where they mad about Arrested Development?
