Re: I want a buzzer to Zap politicians during press conferences when they don't answer a question. - Yesterday

Quotehal interviewers should stay mute until the question is answered - maybe after a few seconds say, "I'm waiting..." That wouldn't work because they would keep talking about what they want to talk about and continue to ignore the questions.

QuoteMr645 I prefer Trump solution, build up from the bottom, growing hourly wages and very low inflation doing only what's good for Trump and his own ego, with a little deference to what mega donors want. FIFY.

Re: Bill For Harvard Student In 1869 - Yesterday

I'm sure that was a lot of money for the time. The "for Wood or other Fuel delivered" is interesting. I'm not up on current college costs, but is it common now for room and board to be higher than tuition?

Re: yet another MacBook Air question(s) - Yesterday

The MacRumors link shows a decided performance difference between 8 and 16GB in the new M3, but that is for testing on very intensive tasks. If you use your computer for regular stuff, there may not be a difference. Two points from my personal experience. First, I got a MBA M1 in the 8/512 configuration way back in 2020 (can't believe I've had it that long). I have seen zero memory pressure wi

Re: College Football Playoffs…..what are your predictions? - Yesterday

During the B1G championship game they were saying it's supposed to be the four best teams, not the four most deserving teams and that Florida State losing their starting quarterback makes them no longer one of the best.

Re: Colbert cancels late-night shows after his appendix burst - 5 days ago

My story... On a Wednesday or Thursday I started feeling some abdominal pain. It was a dull pain and wasn't bad when it began. It got worse through Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, although it felt a little better at the time, I went to an urgent care, thinking it was likely a gall bladder problem because it seemed to be centered in the upper right quadrant. I was seen by a young PA. She conside

Quotegabester It should be pointed out that they will also allow you to suspend your account. I presume that means you wouldn't be paying for it during that time... That is helpful, thanks.

Re: Hulu/Disney+ streaming subscription? - 7 days ago

I looked through the SD thread and see the part about if you cancel then they offer you six months of Hulu With Ads for $2.99 and you get to keep the Disney+ No Ads for $2.99. But that's only for six months. Then what? You pay full price? Hmmm. I think I'm going to sign up under a different email to get the current BF specials and take my time deciding which to cancel (and in the mean time, pa

Hulu/Disney+ streaming subscription? - 8 days ago

My previous BF deal just renewed for $10.98 because I wasn't on the ball enough to cancel it and switch to a different email address--although I did get to Peacock in time. However... Looking at my account I currently have: Hulu (With Ads) at $7.99 Disney+ (No Ads) at $2.99 If I'm not mistaken, the Disney+ BF specials are With Ads and there's no special available for No Ads. I don't kn

Re: Well, I finally did it (paid more for TV package). It was an odd experience. - 9 days ago

No, I'm not under contract. The problem is once I completely drop U-Verse TV I can never get it back because it's a legacy service that AT&T wants to get rid of. I want to keep it because I kind of like having an actual hardwired TV service and I also have a DVR full of recordings. I wish they had a "vacation mode" where I could turn off TV service but be able to turn it back

Shortly after March Madness was over last spring, I dropped to Basic service on my U-Verse TV, intending to go back to a higher package when sports--other than baseball--resumed. I really only mention this because of how clunky and broken the process was. When I dropped to Basic, I did it all online on AT&T's web site. You'd think changing packages to something that pays them more money

Hilarious. What's really funny is his utter cluelessness at how incredibly stupid he sounds while claiming prejudice against billionaires. He was driving a Toyota Highlander--and you know, nothing says billionaire like driving a Highlander.
