Yeah. But she wanted to carry a really small purse that wouldn't be able to hold the foldable :(

It is a religious practice for Jews ... I completely agree with your point of it being a "health fad" for non-jews though.

Hah! I thought that was my work VPN when I first saw it. Not sure how much I like that it's actually the site

This is going to sound stereotypical, and I don't smoke often. But last time I had a good high going, the Grateful Dead album, "American Beauty", came on my music album shuffle and just instantly got me in the right mood.

Yeah. IMHO Spicy is always a weird one and should be treaded carefully. But spiced is a must.

Yeah .... I wasn't sure when I wrote it and didn't think it'd matter tbh

Seamless integration has been around since the first real-time chatrooms though. Again, just making a better UI

For phone calls that's just VoIP which was around waaaaayyy before the iPhone, Skype was doing something similar in the consumer geek market in 2004/5. They just brought it to the big consumer market, and again, made it 1000x easier to do.

Why a restaurant for the service.

Between my wife and I we can make a lot of good staples (roasted chicken, beef and potatoes, etc.) but we're not masters of the kitchen by any stretch.

You go to a restaurant to have someone else make the dinner and hopefully they are better than you are to make something tastier. As a side you don't have to deal with cleaning dishes.

That and hopefully they have a good wait staff to liven up things

In real life you have to make your own food, make your own drinks, use your own plates/glasses/etc. and deal with cleanup.

In ds9 the replicator does everything for you.

But I get your point

Thanks!

Yeah. My wife has an iPhone and we drive a lot. Thinking to not have to deal with the wires on the dashboard would be great.

Thanks for the suggestion.

There wasn't a screen protector for yours right? How is the magsafe though?

Mous was one of the vendors that's only magsafe from what I saw .... Hoping I missed something.

I was 14 and just got a cable modem when Napster came out. I just got introduced to modern music, had no way to pay for it other than asking my folks. Let's jump on the pirate ship!

Now I'll let you do the math on my age, I have very stable income, and a fair amount of disposable savings, and I still pirate pretty much my ears will be hearing. Plex has equal or better tools for watching/listening than every other service I've tried (shuffling episodes is my favorite)

I go to concerts, watch movies in the theatre, read physical books and support creatives in other ways.. so I feel different about that..

I also started noticing this when itunes came out. You could only listen to music YOU PAID FOR on devices you've authorized. Then soon after I saw this, a friend was down on his luck but had a very good and varied cd collection. He started selling them to second hand shops and his friends.

I ended up seeing this dichotomy and thought to myself.... this sucks. Let's just pirate it..

I should note the amount of physical unread books I have on my shell are similarly rationed to the amount of music I haven't listened to or movies I haven't watched yet that I've also pirated
