I do like the fact that his first reaction is to earnestly laugh at something funny, but of course he shows his racist Zionist true colors after that. Fuck Seinfeld.
Japan, for one, allows visitors to buy things for use outside Japan without sales tax. Well, to be clear, they refund the sales tax you paid on certain items when you leave the country.
There are a couple of US states that do something similar I believe.
Brent Spiner and Johnathan Frakes (of Star Trek The Next Generation fame) have a podcast together. It's really good, and you should listen. It's only about 25% about Star Trek.
On a recent episode Spiner talks about losing a beloved dog named "John Hamm". Apparently, when they got him the litter were all temporarily named pizza toppings, and the dog they chose was named "Ham". They thought it funny to keep the "Ham" and call him John Hamm.
The Spiners are apparently big donors to animal rescue / welfare organization in their area, and their local rescue recently upgraded to much larger facilities. They called to ask if the Spiners could give, and if so in recognition of their donation they'd name a wing of the newly opened rescue center after their beloved late pet.
I'm not sure if Brent donated or not, but he said it gave him pause because he realized the actor John Hamm would get all the credit.
Donating has always been on my to-do list, but I just never made the time. I think I did it once 25 years ago in high school.
I finally made the time about a month ago, and they made it so easy I told them to keep a standing appointment every two months (the maximum.) Found out I'm O-, so I feel like I'm doing some real good.
Maybe not specific to this price increase, but the service does in fact improve over time. They were the first to add lossless music (no cost increase at the time IIRC), the first to add atmos, and then they added Classical for free.
You should take a look at Apple Music Classical, it’s really good and actually the only reason I subscribe to Apple Music in the first place. Classical is what I pay for, the pop music is bonus.
There’s unfortunately very little airline staff can do to stop this.
Bullshit. The flight attendants and especially captains’ word is law on a plane. They say stop and they don’t they can and should absolutely charge them with disobeying the instructions of airline staff (something we see all the time) and blacklist them.
Those are separate, but equally concerning, things. Connected features are what this article is about, but telemetry is a different issue. On a new vehicle, you might disable the modem but lose several "features," perhaps ones that you effectively have to have.
On somewhat older vehicles that don't rely on connectivity to the same degree, disabling the modem only prevents telemetry data being sent to wherever-it-is that that data goes. That seems to be the sweet spot for me.
I have my eye on a new (to me) vehicle in the next couple of years. I'd gone from planning on buying new but have now settled on the lowest mileage 2019 I can find. New enough to be nice and safe and have physical buttons, old enough not to have all these objectionable "features."
I refer the newest style of vehicles as "spaceships." Call me old fashioned and old guy yelling at clouds, but I want my next vehicle to be, you know, a vehicle.
So far, that's my understanding as well. That anything that touches personal data remains on device by default and only leaves the device on your explicit commands. Of course I may be missing something, but this feels like Apple eating their cake and having it too, even if the cake isn't as good.
Apple’s missteps in the 90s can fill books.
"Can we get a free Palestine?"
Seinfeld laughs.
"Does that amuse you as a Jewish person?"
"No, it amuses me as a comedian."

Are you paying by the letter? Just spell out “sales tax” like a normal person.
Looking at just 46 marathons, mostly on one continent, hardly makes it the fastest “in the world.”

D’oh. I’ve edited it so now your comment doesn’t make sense. Flight -> fight.
If Mr Beast was twenty years older, he would’ve been the one paying bums to fight.
I thought that O- has undesirable plasma.
Oh well, for me at least, I feel good about the donation for donation’s sake.

TIL there was a 1960 movie, on which the 1982 musical was loosely based, on which the 1986 movie was based (that final point I knew).
Not knowing about the 1960 movie, I'm thinking Nicholson was already super famous by 1986.
Buy used. OP can probably pick up five used CDs a month and stay under budget.
Of course the artist isn’t paid here, so you might as well pirate at this point.

I mean, if you were happy with the service at 10.99, is one dollar that much of a deal breaker?
If you didn’t already know, the subscription comes with Apple Music Classical for free. Maybe look at that as a mandatory $1 add-on.

I watched "That Which Survives" last night. Utter trash, I see why season three gets its reputation.

It's an electric truck. You don't need remote start.
I presume you mean remote climate control.
