Well the insane amount of random drugs he's taking don't help either.

And child support!

Oh! I got a similar story. My first roommate in college had a Police CD, Every time you got in it started at the first song, Roxanne... He NEVER changed the CD.

I never was a big fan but by the end of the year I hated that song.

I give you lesser known movies that also have popular actors! (And I think they're very good)

"With Honors"

"Renaissance Man"

"Regarding Henry"

Yeah, I'm a big right to repair person. But medical equipment is a different level. This isn't just affecting yourself, if a tech screws up people die.

Most of them make sense, like ND, given the distance and very cold winters.

So far... I can easily see some MBA wanting to add that "feature". They have your driving history, they could easily route someone with Starbucks stops past more Starbucks for a fee.

Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.

LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.

Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she's entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.

He has moderate dementia, no doubt.

Lol which is why many like the way it is.

It's always risk vs convenience.

Personally I respect folks keen on privacy. But I'm old, I don't have kids, and don't give a fuck. Give me my voice commands and no hassle set up/use...

Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.

I've seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drunk driving just because they don't want to deal with it.

Funny you mention grocery type items. That's where I first noticed how bad Amazon can price gouge. Sometimes 3-4 times what the price should be.

More like mid eighties.

Or need the job...

Yeah but because of medical advances they aren't dying off as fast as they should!

Amazon has very good deals OR very bad ones. I find Microcenter often equal to or even better than Amazon in most tech stuff.

Your experience is exactly why you shouldn't make sweeping judgement on one data point.

1. Photo paper isn't really tech. It's a supply.

2. It's a low volume niche item.

3. People that are buying it are less likely to care about cost (older) or want it right now. So Microcenter feels they can charge more. (IMO)

US has only one master and that's capitalism. Israel has money and is making the war machine rich. If Israel started costing the rich in the US money that would change very quickly.

Many native English speakers don't know them. To them (myself included) it just doesn't "sound right" but I couldn't tell you why it's wrong.
