I thought that was the only reason anyone had cable anymore, for the sportsing. Especially since HBONow is finally a thing.

Fountain Diet Coke still contains Saccharin (Or at least it did the last time I got a box of syrup), which is why it tastes better.

For most people, especially ones with NEW cars, the cost of fuel is such a small portion of TCO that gas mileage is almost inconsequential within reason. People get psychotic when gas swings one way or another because people are idiots, who cannot ignore the 20-80 dollars they spent today in favor of focusing on the 500 dollars they pay every month.

If Hulu plus actually worked, I would still pay for it and still watch the stupid ads, even at double the price. As it is I had to drop it, because we couldn't actually use the service we paid for. Netflix works bug-free on all of my devices. Hulu plus crashes on every platform I have used it on except PC (where you don't even need to pay for it). It is crappy software, and they think they can get away with it because they are the gatekeepers to "precious" content.

Netflix, on the other hand, is a better experience than piracy. Netflix gets my money (and more from me than the average person because I pay for an account with more simultaneous screens since my household has so damned many devices that work flawlessly with netflix).

I can't think of many companies whose business model is "Give the customers what they want" it is refreshing and amazing.

I was refering to 0 pay CEOs like Apple and Google. The guy in the article is doing something completely different, and far less slimy. I think the 70k ceo is awesome, and 0 pay billionaires are scumbags.

They have taken token salaries so that they do not have to pay income tax, NOT because they are heroes. "Compensated in stock" is another word for "Tax evasion"

It isn't cute, it is CEOs taking advantage of YOU directly, and looking like heroes when they do it.

I mean, I do not advocate the death penalty for stupidity, but I am shocked he wasn't hit by a sniper before he even crossed the property line.

Nature rewards us grandly for it. If "nature" didn't intend us to seek food and entertainment, our bodies wouldn't fill our junkie brains with dopamine when we do it.

My then 8 year old wanted to learn Lua script so he could build original content in Roblox. I tried to convince him to learn to code something easier to teach first. That was HARD, harder than I thought, to convince him to try to learn to think in code before he tried to code in Lua.

One night, he came out of his room long after bedtime crying and told me that earlier he copied someone's script into a level he made in Roblox, and now he was sure he was going to get banned because the game thought he was cheating

it was 10:00 at night and I loaded up his Roblox account, and edited the script right in front of him. It was something like this psudocode: wait(1 minute) display message("You have been caught cheating, your account will be deleted in 5 days") end

I changed it to display a stupid message like "If you see this it means you got trolled by someone who understands scripting"

He felt better, but more importantly he learned that "understanding scripting" is important and powerful... and that even his old dad who "just knows other scripting and not lua" is better than nothing.

Then he said... I guess you can teach me Javascript... then we started Khan Academy and he slurped it up like a hungry aardvark.

I live in Texas, for as long as my corporate overlords allow it... so I am bitter.

Employees - Am I in the united states and an At-Will employment state, you are about to be let go

Am I in any G8 country other than USA, your country protects its citizens, and the corporation is required to notify you, and provide a reason if you will be let go.

aka "contribute."
