Having to wear earplugs at a concert is the definition of irony
Wrong. Wearing earplugs actually allows you to hear MUCH better at a concert. It cuts out a lot of the mids and ambient noise.

It's a King adaptation? I'll probably skip it then. I love King but his work is almost impossible to adapt, only Kubrick could pull it off and he had to take massive liberties, and I guess Carrie was passable too, but it got rid of the epistolary narrative which really made it shine

Basically the amp is like your cars engine. You can put a powerful engine in any car and make is super fast,...where as you can play any guitar through a REALLY good amp and make is sound awesome.

The day I got married: I finished work, got home, took a shower, put on a tuxedo t-shirt and went to the church. Said the vows, got my kiss, then we went home. We didn't live together before. Didn't have any kids together. Moved in together once we were married and that was that. Just didn't waste any money on it. Weddings are such a MASSIVE waste of money (IMO). Still haven't been on a honey moon. Been married almost 9 years now.

For example: Amazon had over $500 billion in gross revenue, that means at a 50% tax rate, they should be paying around $250 billion in taxes.

If you don't understand the difference between Gross and Net, you probably shouldn't be giving financial opinions.

I've had a family owned restaurant my entire life. Of the customers I can recall throughout the over 30 years I actually ran the business (and the cast register), maybe .01% were truly AWFUL. I'd say, around 1-2% were "difficult" and the remainder were normal. It all depends on how YOU treat the customer. Sometimes this can not be helped as there are those people that are just,...well, THOSE type of people, but for the most part, the customer will respond to the way they are treated. Even if they start with a bad attitude, you never really know what is going on with them at the time and a bit of friendly conversation can really make the difference.
