Eh. "More power than most PC laptops" doesn't necessarily mean anything, except the machine has a CPU & RAM that rivals "most PC laptops". Does that mean you should expect it to do notebook computer things? Maybe. Or maybe it suggests that you can do tablet-y things with more power? I dunno.

You mean the public water system in Flint that wasn't in control of duly elected officials? You mean the public water system in Flint that had its source switched by a Republican policy "emergency manager"? All driven by business ideals.

Business has no fucking place in governance. Business people are stupid, greedy assholes who think they're much smarter than they are. Look at our fucking Whitehouse.

Everywhere privatization has been put in place it's failed to delivery on its promises.

Alien.

Not the hack sequel by that hack Cameron, just Alien. Not Alien: the Indigestion, or Alien: Truthseeker. Alien. Period. The rest of the sequels, and Prometheus, are lame bullshit.

And Bladerunner. Ridley Scott was on fire with those two movies. They stand alone, and they need no sequels.

I recommend the Seiko 5 line. Waterproof, shockproof, day/date, and mechanical self-winding. And they run the gamut from plain to elegant.

That said, they're jewelry, as opposed to a necessity to tell time, since like most have pointed out, there are clocks everywhere these days.

When I was a kid, you either wore a watch, or looked at the nearest bank or dry cleaners for the time. Or asked someone who was wearing a watch.

"Netflix does best in the documentaries category, where users rate non-original content, on average, at 3.54."

Great. Once the exec$ hear that that'll be the only original content we'll get. Why? Because just like reality TV, documentaries cost a lot less than original drama productions. And Crom knows, American business always goes for the cheap, easy, short-term, high profit product.

While I like a good documentary as much as the next person, sometimes I just don't give a shit about The Ancient Aliens of Macchu Pichu, and I just want to watch a couple of episodes of Luke Cage.
