Imagine how stupid the average American is. Now realize, statistical speaking, half are dumber than that.

Fair. Using your words he suggested we drink rubbing alcohol and / or inject that in the body. Happy?

I have been to Orlando (so DisneyWorld/Universal Studios) several times in the last few years. Last month I went to Disneyland for the first time and got to experience Star Wars Land.

I was not at all impressed with Star Wars Land. I turned to the friend I was with and said "Yeah, this is cool, but does not hold a candle to Harry Potter World" (in Orlando).

Harry Potter World is probably the best thing to compare it to, and HPW is completely immersive. Yes, you are in an amusement park, but it really feels like you are on set. There are several rides in HPW. The train between the two parks is amazingly well done. SWL, on the other hand, feels... artificial. It feels hastily put together, without any sense of flow or identity. You still feel like you are in an amusement park.

I am a huge Star Wars fan. That said, I would go back to HPW many times before I consider returning to SWL.

As a high end architect at a large company, I can confirm that your advice cuts both ways. I constantly get told about "great" 6 month contract-to-hire opportunities in podunk NJ despite the fact that I clearly state I'm a FTE with benefits who is happy in FL and that I despise snow.

The added weight and the all wheel drive of Tesla's make the great choices for snow.

Just remember, they are heavy for their size. Great for traction, but may have a longer stopping distance vs a more regular car.

I have 2. One Model S that's two years old and all wheel drive and a few month old Model 3 that is rear only.

I worked Apple retail before going on to work at two different Apple Specialists (the highest level of AASP - Apple Authorized Service Provider). I now work for a another company and one of my tasks is the occasional job of taking Apple machines in for repair.

At this point, the number of Apple machines I have dealt with that were going through the AppleCare repair process number in the tens of thousands, I would guess. In all of that time, I have not once seen an AppleCare coverage denied because of third-party RAM installed by the end user. Not a single time.

Your statement is verifiably incorrect by the thousands of other people who have had the same experience as mine.

Agreed. My brother owns a law firm so I'm biased. When he takes cases like this, he does free of charge. He pays the lawyers. He pays the paralegals. He pays the court fees. He pays the experts. He pays the travel. If he loses, he is out everything. In that situation, it's not unreasonable for the law firm to ask for a decent percentage when they do win.

Heh, I have 3 kids and am a gamer myself. So even if they manage to actually decode what's on the TV, all they will really get is "wow, this house watches a lot of something called 'Fortnite'."

For me, personally, I don't see the big deal in what they did. I pretty much assume anything "smart" is tracking me and selling that data to someone. I've found their TVs to be great quality for the price, the software is reliable and consistent (looking squarely at you, Samsung, and your 20,000 different software iterations). They also keep the software up to date.

I have 5 of their smart TVs in my house. When I bought them, they came with an Android tablet, which was pretty much the only way to control the TVs at the time. My kids absolutely love those tablets. My youngest casts from the tablet to the TV, then plays games on the tablet while she watches the TV.

Vizio then released a new update to the TVs. Via a software update. they made it possible to use a standalone remote to watch Netflix, Amazon (which doesn't support ChromeCast so this was actually a net-new feature for these TVs), Hulu, etc. You needed a new remote to access these features though because the original basically had 6 buttons: power, input, channel +/-, volume +/-, and that's it. Obvious way to make a couple of bucks by selling said new remotes, right? Nope. Even though the TVs were each almost 2 years old and clearly out of warranty, Vizio generated a code per-TV that allowed you to request a free remote per-TV. Not "free plus stupid amount for shipping and handling", free as in I got 5 new remotes for the grand total of $0.00. It took about a week from when I requested the remotes to when they arrived.

Long story short, I guess I don't care if they know what I watch. Netflix knows what I watch on Netflix. Amazon knows what I watch on Amazon. Hulu knows what I watch on Hulu. YouTube knows what I watch on YouTube. I basically assume each of them are somehow selling, sharing, or using that data for ads. I just can't seem to work up the anger to be upset that Vizio was doing the same.

Agree with parent, GP is full of shit. I've been doing 1099 contact work through a sole prop for nearly 10 years. Nothing Obama did changed that. So far, nothing Trump did affected it either.

Is it that they can't suggest things well, or is it that they just don't have the shows you enjoy available to be suggested. I have found it to be the latter.

Get off my lawn!

I belive I signed up 3 Sept 1998. I have another 11 months until my 20th anniversary of my account. I had been reading for a bit before that though.

Every now and then there is an article like this and us two, three, and four digit UID users come out of the attic to yell at all the Johnny-come-latelys.

What youâ(TM)ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

No, that's what their stellar education system for. Terrorism is better destroyed by education than it is by bombs and guns. Thankfully, we elected someone amazing to head our education department... right?
