Well, that kind of sucks. At least with network TV you know that if a show did well in the ratings you’d get another season and another one after that. Sometimes shows go longer than they should. Doesn’t matter with streaming. The interests of the audience comes last.

Verizon gave my wife and I free iPhone 14 Pros (upgraded from 11s) so if they keep doing that I can see why their equipment sales might be down. Not sure what I had to commit to but I’m not paying any more for my plans, so who knows. Maybe one day I’ll find out.

I don’t understand why having no driver leads to more traffic. Does having a driver less taxi mean more people are going to hire it? Doesn’t seem to make sense.

So I have a Ricoh color laser AIO and a Lexmark mono laser AIO I inherited. I can’t speak to the AIO functions because I don’t use them as I have a dedicated flatbed scanner that does better than any printer could do and I have a dedicated fax that I acquired years ago that I might have to use once per year. Maybe…

How much more expensive does OEM have to be compared to 3rd party to be considered ‘overpriced’? Yes, HP ink is more expensive, but it’s OEM, so . . . There are plenty of things to ding HP for but this I don’t think is one of them. Those cheapo third party cartridge suppliers didn’t have to invest in R&D and build the…

I just reinstalled Windows 10 Pro and haven’t come across any useless software so not sure what the fuss is about.

So the first thing you should do is have your insurance company look at your roof. If they determine that it’s leaking because of a storm or wild weather they may replace it for you minus your deductible. A reputable roofing company can navigate it for you. That’s what happened to me. And I have a few replacement…

I suspect that the only people that this is for are the folks who would be all in on home automation. As for me? I’d just look at the dog bowl to get my answer.

I missed the memo that we don’t use the term alcoholism anymore. I guess woke is coming for everyone.

So we are still pretending that this is going to happen at what will likely be a $20B price tag before it’s all over? This would starve so many other great projects.

I’m curious if the youths still heat their homes with gas, cook their food with gas, fill their tanks with gas . . . If you think fossil fuels should just be made illegal and go away then start first with your own lifestyle.

If you predict the same thing every year eventually you’re going to get one right.

1) Still trying to figure out how they guide the rockets when all communications were down.

Honestly, I never thought about it. Always keep the Skippy in the cupboard. However I do keep the almond butter in the fridge. It’s never occurred to me that that’s a bit inconsistent. The almond butter though does tend to separate so maybe that’s why.

I’m always curious as to where people who keep buying all of these Lego sets put them all. I have 3 lego sets in my office but my wife wouldn’t allow me to display them anywhere else in the house. I have the Saturn V, the Hubble / space shuttle and a fork lift kind of thing. It was fun to build them but out of room so…

JPL Manager: “Just let the intern do it.”

Curious what NASA would do differently if they got a mulligan.

If an NFL player signs a contract for 3 years for 30MM with 20MM guaranteed, my understanding is that the team can cut them but still needs to pay them the guaranteed $20MM no matter. It is how the contract is structured. The team is honoring the contract even if they release the player early. If a player holds out…

Barbenheimer’s success really doesn’t mean much in the bigger war over AI. Sure the movies are successful but I think the studios are looking toward the day when they can make similar successful movies, but with AI v2.0. Is that a year or two away or 10 years away? Don’t know. But I know the studios are eyeing their…

This makes sense. If you’re under contract you need to abide by your contracts. I get po’d at NFL players that hold out. Honor your contracts everyone!
