I own a dumb TV that's got a few years on it. It televisions when I TV at it. Very TV.
When I wanted smart stuff, I hooked up a PC. They had a nice relationship, but lately a friend convinced me to get an XBoneX. Now the XBox XBoxes at the TV and the TV televisions back, and they're very happy together.
Also the TV can stereo, but my Stereo stereos better, so I hooked the TV to the Stereo. All three are now living together in joyful bliss, which is probably illegal in some states, but it works for them.
The TV sleeps in the middle, in case you're wondering. But don't call it a slut or the Stereo will shout at you. It's very loud when it wants to be.
For the record, I take 50mg of Metopolol Succinate daily. I believe it's the same schedule drug as Lunestra (S4 non-narcotic).
While moving my household I discovered a pill that had fallen behind my bedside table one morning when I dropped the bottle.
According to this, I should be arrested, tried and convicted with possession of a controlled substance, sent to prison -- along with my daughter who lives with me; all our belongings confiscated; the house destroyed, the land salted and mined.
My wife lives out of state, but we're still married (not even legally separated, just estranged) and both of us live in community property states. So she should also be arrested and convicted, her belongings possessed. Also the entire farm along with the other family living there because, you know, guilt by association.
Since I lived in a duplex they'd certainly have to arrest my neighbor and subject her to the same treatment. They were gonna burn the house down anyway.
How about the new owner? Sure, why not. He's got money!
I could go on but I think I've pushed this far enough already.
Well, crap. As a Borderlands fan* on Steam who is planning to pre-purchase the game, this puts me in an uncomfortable position.
I really wanted those skins.
I was planning to buy the deluxe version with all the extras. Perhaps I'll compromise by pre-buying the main-game-only version and adding the DLC after it comes out on Steam.
What censorship? The site hides comments flagged by the community, but those are readily shown with a single click. Witness the fact that I've just read your comment. Also, you don't know what "censorship" means.
I'm sure this has been pointed out to you many times, which means that Hanlon's Razor doesn't apply: this is clearly both malice and stupidity.
"The 35% bump in broadband speeds, for example, is pretty well in line with past growth, and is courtesy of a lot of things, ranging from relatively inexpensive Cable DOCSIS 3.1 upgrades..."
I just moved, and when I did I upgraded from a pair of 12/1 Mbps lines (through a local company with awesome customer service, who resells Sonic) to Comcast gigabit service (nominally 1000/35, measured 973/42). So, yeah, I've done my part to boost that statistic.
(Yes, I sold my soul. I've gotten really tired of trying to stream and upload through a straw.
(Yes, I bought my own DOCSIS 3.1 modem and provided my own router... I may owe my soul to Satan, but I'm not stupid, and I could afford it up front.
(For the record, I can now stream Twitch at full resolution and highest quality while logged into a server-based multiplayer game or hosting my own games (depending on the game) while doing whatever on my laptop and while my daughter is doing her own thing and I have yet to drop One. Single. Packet. It is GLORIOUS.)
Like the Aereo debacle, obeying the law is the new breaking the law.
Next, cops will be giving tickets to everybody who is driving safely and legally, and the courts will be allowing it, on the basis that NOT speeding means you're actually TRYING to speed.

One of my wife's favorite art pieces is Manet's Olympia (1863). Caused quite a bit of outrage. Still controversial in some circles.
