"a historic day in the court room today, as the court recessed for 15 minutes for a diaper change--interrupting the testimony from the very first witness called by the state."

if it's just a menu board on the wall behind the counter, why tf not?

when i lived down in texas (and a couple other places), the stores had can-sized paper bags for the big cans and for regular 12oz ones. and i'd see guys having clerks at the store 'bag' their beer (even each can of an intact six-pack)....

then see them a few lights down the road chugging one at a red.

gong public does that to a company.

it's some cheap no-name pos from verizon. i wouldn't wish it on anyone (not verizon, either, for that matter).

it's getting replaced, hopefully tomorrow. it's the first phone i've never dropped.. not even once. and it's cracked, literally in pieces, and the hinge basically disintegrated. shortest time a phone has lasted me (by far); barely a year and a half. my previous ones all went 5+ years each.

the flaw in their plan is that many people dgaf if they watch something the moment it's released. they'll just 'catch up' next time they sub to a service for a month.

the new york times is just now discovering this? trial jumping and service jumping have been a thing since netflix was the only game in town. before, even, as it was not uncommon for one to jump between directv and dish for tv, or telco and cable for home internets for the 'new' customer promos (which is why those companies like the 2 year contract with promo rates only good for the first year now).

i only do the prepaid cards. i won't ever give a bank account or card number to a streamer.. means no 'trials', but also a bit more security and privacy. no definitive identification 'on file' for them to match with other databases, and no personal/payment info to get stolen in a 'security breach'

i've been on your step 3 for over a year now. don't miss it. been watching 'archived' stuff mainly the last several years--and almost exclusively, now. i do 'turn on' a free service occasionally. don't even know what the 'new' shows are, don't care.

my 'feature' phone can act as a mobile hotspot and connect to wifi networks (it does have a mobile browser and email client), but i have never used it for anything other than taking and making voice calls (don't even use sms).

of course i learn of this today, a day after i just spent $10 each to 'recycle' a bunch of dead monitors.
