And that angle of her pitch does it little justice... CBS This Morning showed the angle from the normal over-the-pitcher’s shoulder shot used during the TV broadcast... Fox Trax would have put that damn thing dead center

Neither typical consumer streaming services nor the purchase of a file or piece of physical media includes public performance rights. Been this way for decades. Read your user agreements with Spotify/Pandora etc.... public use is strictly forbidden. 

No, the source is irrelevant. The ONLY time licensing is included is if they’re paying for a music service like Muzak. A subscription to any music service that’s typically used by the public covers nothing legally, and usually also includes strict terms that you’re only allowed to use said services for personal and…

It’s almost like they learned the exact playbook of Woot.com, which they’ve owned for years now. And which is celebrating its 15th birthday today... and I’m up to three purchases from the Woot-off... one of which is a $10 (mystery) Bag of Crap which I earned by solving a riddle posted by George Takei in the forums.…

Speaking on behalf of the state of Arizona, which knows proper tacos, these come in a distant fourth behind

I sat in that same courthouse a few years back for a detention hearing for an ex-Marine and listened to his defense attorney brag about what a model person he’d been as his fitness reports allegedly showed. What none of us knew at the time was that the judge (not the one from Hunter’s hearing, I checked) was also a…

Yeah, I’ve always found it interesting how Hispanic culture considers it shameful to ask others for handouts... so even here along the border, the only people you see asking for money on every single freeway offramp and Walmart parking lot are grungy white people, half of which claim to be vets.

They don’t. It’s the same way people got sanctimonious about homeless vets once the migrant crisis became an issue. They didn’t care then, and they’re just faking it now. Right up there with ‘thoughts and prayers’. 

In reality this $1M was more of a grant (gift) from the state. There’s additional tax incentives in play from the city of Goodyear where it was/is to be built. 

“and no disgruntled, establishment, D.C. swamp creature’s cowardly leaks can change that”

Only a quarter. We get the other quarter here in Arizona.

Isn’t visibility from rows close to the netting but waaay down either line going to suffer? Seems like even thin netting is going to obscure the view of the plate significantly once you’re looking through it at a 70-80+º angle...

I tried it a couple times and both flights had a flight attendant tell me to put it back, because those 3" I gained in sprawl space apparently ‘blocked’ the aisle too much for their tastes.

It pretty much has done the same colloquially in the US... but good luck convincing those Puritans at the FCC.

Well yeah, that’s why he had them put AMERICA in bigger, bolder, all caps letters. Because he lives in AMERICA. Then again, so do the Mexicans, Brazilians, the Hondurans... Canadians...

Funny... saw this story mentioned on a more clickbait-y site yesterday and it blamed it on iPhones “secretly” capturing audio... which I found suspicious since iOS won’t let apps access any hardware or data without explicit, granular approval via a pop-up.

Yeah, this is about the only comment in this thread I’ll hang my star on.

Yeah, this guy was brought in to basically run everything but the NE Corridor into the ground as an excuse to kill it off. Decisions are actively being made that are making all the long-haul routes less sustainable and less desirable to riders (and potential riders), so I imagine we’ll see a few more ‘deals’ like this…

But how is

Naturally, this story comes a week after the fear mongering over energy drinks where they’re saying how 400mg of caffeine a day is a dangerous threshold— meanwhile the Monsters in my fridge have 160mg/can compared to the 340mg in a single trenta iced coffee... yet energy drinks are the ‘bad guy’. But go ahead and have…
