While being a 'bell baby' i know we don't agree on the breakup and such, but i do agree 100% that its not "your father's at&t", so to speak.

. It's owned by AT&T (another company that has little to do with its namesake, the name having been acquired).

So Saturday a Walmart package was dropped off. not mine. No address to where i could run it over to them.  Never came back to collect it.   So I returned it to Walmart today when i was out and about. They looked at me funny "why didn't you just keep it" "um, its not mine.."

It says a lot about where we are today when honest people are judged .. for being honest.

Just noticed today that Disney also owns ABC..   The ones hosting the debate.  So that is blacked out too if no deal is reached in time.

Coincidence? 

 

Sure, there will be alternative sources, but it would effect a lot of people that are not smart enough. "my TV is blank, i guess i cant watch it"

I do believe that Walt would be horrified to see the disgusting company that still bears his name. Zombie Walt needs to come around and dispatch them.

DirecTV is another giant, though. It's owned by AT&T (another company that has little to do with its namesake, the name having been acquired). Carriage disputes happen all the time, though.

Most of the big retailers have the cost of mistakes built in to their pricing models. I've had incidents where I received the wrong thing, or something I didn't order, or even too many of what I ordered ... only to have the retailer tell me to keep it when I asked for return instructions. Unless it's a very high value item, the cost of dealing with the return is often too high for it to be worth it for them.

This is especially true for ebay retailers ... they'll do anything to avoid the dreaded negative feedback.

Disney has owned ABC for almost 30 years. Even before that, they had a bit of a relationship. I remember watching "The Wonderful World of Walt Disney" (back when it was wonderful, because Walt) on ABC when I was just a little IG.

Ya, just never noticed. Not big into that TV/Movie stuff so don't pay attention.

That was fun.

Went to grocery. Pull up to the light, person beside me looks at me funny, rolls up their window.. Light turns green, they pull away, roll it back down. I guess they don't like Band-maid like that jerk from a week or so ( was also acoustic but song was 'manners' this time, not that anyone would care, but its on YouTube. From their Christmas special ). No taste around these parts apparently. 

In the store, woman walks up, "smile" .. looked at her blankly, "why" and waked off.  Same thing happened at work a decade ago.. weirdo people. leave me alone.  

On way out of the lot, song came on, same one from above as it wasn't done yet.. An older Asian woman loading her car with food, thumbs up as i drove past.

No real details but "A server went down and is causing access issues in the Midwest region" For both Verizon and T-mobile

 

"A" server? I really hope they dont mean that.

lol, piss off your users, they retaliate within the confines of your rules, then you try to prevent them from retaliating in the future.  Then you lose users..

People never learn.

I dont know how some people can find their way out bed in the morning they are so stupid.  Darwin was right, but we changed the rules by protecting, even encouraging, the non-fit to survive.

New (rental) neighbors set out an old tube TV for big trash day.  I bet they are too stupid to understand why it was left and now sits in the front yard 4 days later, 'trashing up' the area.

Needs to be picked up, and tossed thru their front window.

Ok i guess ill give them a slight amount of credit.  They moved it up near their storage shed, so its at least not sitting out at the street.

There is a place in the next town south that will accept stuff like this, at no charge.

Well, Reddit has been in decline so long it is no longer funny.

The sad part is that Reddit is the main source for general questions/answers that remains semi-searchable. By this I mean lots of people uses Google to fish for answers in Reddit, because answers fished from anywhere else in the Internet are quite degraded in quality. This is a shame because Reddit itself is not good, it is only "less worse."

And at the same time, search results turning up Reddit threads are skyrocketing, because Reddit has given the search engines (or at least Goolag, I guess) direct access to their message base. I think this has something to do with a shared objective of training large language models on such a large corpus of (ostensibly) human conversation.

Might be useful, but at the end of the day, reddit is really just a very large BBS.

Its not worthy of being in support as the days of old web-cit are numbered, and its NOT important in the least. But i have always wondered, why does this happen? It cuts off the end of the room name every so often. 

Yesterday it had T at the end and the day before that both T and Y..
