When you see the baddies exit their ships, like Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, etc., the ships release massive amounts of steam on the sides of the entrance/exit ramps, as they exit.

Why? Why would anyone put steam releases by the entrance/exit of ships?

Bought bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and ethereum about three weeks ago when it was crashing, in equal increments for a total of $1200. Sold it today for around $1554 (after all fees).

Bitcoin cash actually LOST me money. Bitcoin gained a little bit. Most of that gains were all from ethereum.

It said chat was the recommended option.

Yes because that's what helps herd all the sheeple to the place where they can easily be placated instead of having them call up where it's much harder to hang up on someone than it is to send a chatbot to them.

Nah, it tells you phone is better for other stuff.

Flying somewhere tomorrow, and I really, really needed this thing I ordered by today. I ordered it this past Tuesday (12/26) with the "guaranteed delivery date" of today, but it was delayed until next Tuesday (1/2).

This type of shit happened a lot this past year, but this was the first time that it actually mattered to me, so naturally, I complained about it. And what did Amazon do to correct this? Nothing.

Here's a snippet from the chat:
Me: So the past year, this has happened quite frequently. With other packages, it really didn't matter; but this one was particularly important that it got delivered on time.
Paul: What I can advise you is to try the same day shipping that Amazon is offering or the one business day shipping. Try also to order the package on a Monday because sometimes weekends affect the delivery of the package.
Me: And what about the "guaranteed delivery date"?
Paul: The guaranteed delivery date was actually given by the system. Mostly the date that was given is accurate but it just happened that it is holiday season and many packages needed to be delivered.
Me: So there's nothing you can do for me, huh? Alright then. Have a great night, Paul, and have a happy new year.
Paul: Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Me: I guess not.
Paul: Thank you for shopping at Amazon, <my name>. Happy new year!


I don't want to deal with this crap anymore. After I return, I'm going to contact them again to return this, and definitely not at my expense.

Theatres make their money off of concessions. moviepass brings people in and since theyre saving money theyre more likely to buy snacks..which is what they want. This would defeat the plan.

MoviePass is a third party vendor though. They have no interest in getting people to spend money at the concession stands.

Fair or Not Fair?


V8qK8oX_d

A former teacher and mother of five in Illinois was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to having sex with a male high school student.

Sarah L. Myers, now 41, of Garden Prairie, Ill., was a special education teacher at a high school in Poplar Grove, Ill., but the teen was not a special education student, the Boone County Sheriffs Department said, according to the Rockford Register Star.

...

According to the Star, county prosecutors said the boy reported in April that he had been having sex with Myers since November 2016. Myers guilty plea applies to two encounters in Boone County, but charges are pending on allegations of a third encounter in Champaign County, prosecutors said.

Myers received credit for 261 days spent in jail and will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life, First Assistant States Attorney Lise Lombardo said...

I'm not convinced it has a future as a currency that people actually use. There will be a US-backed digital currency at some point and it will probably be something new.

The only cryptocurrency that I know of that tries to fight this type of volatility, to gain favors of banks and actual usage as currency, is Ripple. And it showed, in this current crash today.

It's almost like a currency that is gaining value only because it is gaining value is unstable. Hmm!

While I know these were created to be decentralized currency, it really failed at being one, and became more like an asset.

Also, to be exact, I pulled money out of bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, tron, and Ripple. I checked these today, and Ripple seems to be pretty stable! But then again, Ripple is the most centralized of the cryptocurrencies.

Fraud Alert is a service that requires lenders to take additional measures to verify if you're actually who you claim to be when opening a new line of credit. It's active for 90 days once you put it on your credit record.

I activated that last month, after I was told that I may be a victim of identity fraud due to a massive breach at some company.

I wanted to apply for the Uber Visa credit card, but didn't want to deal with "Fraud Alert" stuff... but figured "what the hell; why not", so applied for it. I was instantly approved.
