We should do both. But the mail is more than a communication tool. When someone in a rural area uses their shiny new internet to order something online, it’s the post office who delivers it, not UPS or FedEx—they pass those deliveries off to USPS because they’re not profitable.

I have no fewer than six kinds of stamps already.  Like $60 worth of stamps.  I love them.  But I signed the petition!

Back in the day, before working from home was even a thing, a clever person would schedule mails to be sent on Saturday/Sunday so it looked like they had come into the office on the weekend.

So for years anytime I stay in a hotel, I’ve been able to just plug in my firestick (or before firesticks, laptop or iPad) to an hdmi port and just use the remote to switch inputs. No issues with switching sources. Never have I had to pull out that cat-5 cable.

gay-bashing? it was so unequivocally gay, with 2 (or 3, we don’t know her life) queer characters! the joke was never that he was gay! i found it was great representation for us depressed queers who are way too much online

I second this. I’ve many other leather cases in the same price point, and they were all terrible.

Another vote for this case. It starts looking great after a month or two of use. I’ve had mine for about two years now (pic below), and it still looks good (and is mostly holding up), but the patina probably peaked for me around the one year mark.

Agreed I was sad to replace my iPhoneX saddle brown case it developed a gorgeous patina now I’m starting over.

Because your honest criticism is the side dish to your entree of being a complete jerk about it. 

::checks watch:: I love when someone projects their anger issues on me before noon.

Can vouch. Been on 6 times. Best was rolling with a boxter and an Audi... Ave 90+mph for a good hour through.

Back in May, I found traffic on the Wilbur Cross Parkway (where the speed limit is 55) generally moving at about 80.

If you are going to buy a flimsy collapsible gadget why not just bring a regular plastic pour over coffee cone like the Mellita?

I would say that, assuming you have the discipline to pay it off every month, one should buy everything with a credit card.  

I worked as a shift manager at Starbucks for 8 years and you are entirely correct. The first drink you purchase can be any drink. It doesn’t have to be hot or cold coffee or tea.

Every weekday morning I get a latte, read for a bit, then get a coffee refill to take with me. Maybe it’s changed, but at one time the SBUX web site said it was up to individual store policy as to whether they gave free coffee refills to latte (etc.) customers. A couple of times I’ve had new-to-that-store baristas…

Disagree. As someone who cannot sleep sitting up, taking the red-eye usually costs me an additional day on the end to get back into a normal sleep schedule. I avoid them whenever possible. Also, if for some reason, your flight is cancelled, typically, there isn’t a “next flight” for you to try to get on, until the…

Wear and tear is a real concern with some of the rare items in our library, for sure. I take my literature classes on a “field trip” to our rare book room pretty much every semester, and they always get a lesson beforehand on the proper way to conduct themselves in the room—no food or drink, gloves on always, ask the…

Same in Chicago.  Even when the lanes are separated by barriers, a-hole drivers find a way in to park, or on accident thinking they are turn lanes.  

That’s fair. SXM faces some interesting challenges in the next few years as the various streaming services gain more ground. I’m hoping that when we start seeing Low Earth Orbit satellite internet that they’ll just transition to that network outright.
