What I’m waiting for, and I can’t fathom why this isn’t a thing yet, is USB-C wireless headphones. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a nice pair of wireless headphones (over the ear, I hate ear buds) that has a USC-C port so I don’t have to carry around a stupid adapter just to charge my headphones.

I was just making a joke. I don’t know anything about Luxembourg other than it’s a small, but if I recall, fairly wealthy European country.

Luxembourg, not the Netherlands. I don’t think Luxembourg has “dam” taxes, though I could be wrong. 

I feel like you haven’t tried PSVR, Oculus or Vive because what you’ve said is not the sentiment from anyone who’s spent time with these. Yes, you can see a slight screen door effect on the Oculus, a little on the Vive and really not much on the PSVR.

Critical thinking nowadays seems to be lacking. Most people truly believe that with Google, they have the equivalent knowledge of a doctor or lawyer or any other professional.

Yeah, I don’t need to know the intricate details of a gun to know that plenary access to weapons by people who may be less than mentally stable is a recipe for disaster.

US corporations pay just below the OECD average of 25% (29% when the average is weighted). The top 500 corporations pay 19%, FAR below the OECD average.

You have to put money into the hands of consumers, and that means the poor and the middle class because they spend nearly 100% of what they earn.

Right to BEAR arms, you idiot. I don’t think anyone’s debating a person’s right to wear short sleeves.

Of course insurance companies can’t lower it to an amount that is truly absurd. But, based on numerous surgeries I’ve had, it’s not uncommon to see a $50,000 bill paid out to tune of about $10,000. That’s some pretty big leverage to get an 80% discount.

That’s typically done, at least on PS4, through DLNA. I’m pretty sure the Echo has no ability to do that. Echo doesn’t really talk directly to anything on your network. For most “skills” you have to log in through the cloud and all communication is done through the cloud. The only local stuff the Echo really seems to…

Non-sequitur.

What you’re describing is a layer on top of the arbitrary charges that hospitals can just dream up.

It’s really not the hospitals, per se. The reason hospitals have to charge what they do is because of the number of people who don’t have health insurance and/or cannot afford the treatment.

Tax attorney married to a physician. Two of the highest paying professional jobs in the country. But, go ahead and believe what you want if it helps you sleep at night.

Yeah... I’m not the one who tried saying who I’m related to and to whom they have some vague connection.

And Uber survives by skirting the laws. At least cab companies abide by laws. Uber’s entire business model is predicated on getting around the laws.

Absolutely. Or Judge Roy Moore and his antics.

Oooo... a paralegal. Wow, color me impressed. Paralegals definitely know more than lawyers. I mean, that’s why they’re allowed to practice law, right?

As nice as it is to dream about, it can definitely be used for evil.
