Maybe it's time to upgrade to iWife 2.

I received a trial subscription to SiriusXM when I bought a new car 2 years back. It's anecdotal, but I would say that free streaming audio sounds better than the quality of the subscription radio, which sounded tinny and low bitrate. With the amount they charge for a "legitimate" listening experience, I don't begrudge those that record their music from other quality sources.

There was a group of astronaut enthusiasts that probably caused that one.

For all the government subsidies given to build and maintain the stadiums for these sports, they should be broadcast OTA for no additional cost, and the broadcast simulcast streamed online.

Every single work supervisor I've ever had has introduced themselves by their first name and preferred to be addressed that way.

There are entire industries that are completely dependent on a pool of workers that are able to be paid a low wage, such as seasonal farming, retail, and restaurant staff. If UBI were implemented, it would an easy choice for the median-to-low wage earners in the industry to forgo work and take the basic income, when many were relying on assistance anyway. As for the owners of the industries, either they would forced to close shop or raise wages to the point where a full-time worker would receive a living wage.

Call me a counter-example, but I generally order take-out once a week through a website rather than calling in the order. When I go see a movie, it is preferable to order the ticket online or use the automated kiosk than waiting in line. I would say a good portion of my shopping is done online as well.

Drug trials are limited in scope because there are restrictions on the patents of the studied compounds, which greatly limits the capacity to replicate the trial. Multiple studies have been done on climate, which is more open access.

These games have often been out of print for decades, and legally exist in the wild only on outdated hardware. Is it not equally immoral to wait for the copyright to expire on these games to copy them, when the technology to do so may not exist in the future? Why is protecting a copyright on something that has been out of print, presumably determined by the publisher to be unprofitable somehow "moral".

Where I live, the only broadband offerings are 1.5Mbps DSL from Verizon, or Comcast Xfinity. Although Verizon had made a deal with the state government to provide broadband service to all residences, they've since reneged on the deal since by arguing their LTE coverage should count. It's been pretty clear that these two companies have made some deal to not compete with each other, and cooperate to maintain high prices and limited service.

Governments should favor local companies to protect their economy. It looks like Austin has developed their own ride sharing companies in absence of Uber and Lyft. Meanwhile, Uber is short-changing their fees to US drivers so that they can subsidize rides in other regions where they are not dominant yet. Basically, it's taking money out of the US economy and dumping it elsewhere.

Yeah, you would never hear a Republican saying that a person that didn't obtain legal entry papers being murderers or rapists because those crimes are completely unrelated.

Nope, the politician may be wealthy but they must do favors for the owner class in order to raise funds for their re-election campaigns.

You're saying there's no choice like that status quo has no alternative. It could be made illegal to geo-restrict streaming from overseas in the spirit of free-trade agreements. If consumers could connect to streaming services in Asia that have lower fees, American companies would change their practices.

Might be true, but the parent was talking about spending $10,000 on a TV that would eventually spy on him. It might be possible to buy a high-end model that doesn't have smart TV features, but you are limiting your choices.
