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.

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

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.

oooo possible major IT outages again today.  I know at the office we are struggling .. lots of stuff not working, but some is... ( and things across VPN wont work, but from web it will... )

cool. 

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.

"Moderators now need Reddit's permission to turn subreddits private, NSFW"

So if you are with out power, or a home, and want FEMA assistance, you have to magically get online and fill out a form.

what the hell.

( oh, and they are offering a one time payment of about 750 bucks.   What a freaking joke. government is giving out thousands to illegals.. )

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.

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

That is an insult to every BBS in existence ;)

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..
