The best, simplest summation I've seen. Thank you. I've been searching for something to make sense of it and this is definitely it. Being forced into voting for the "least worst" candidate obscures where that path is headed by either candidate.

The article is literally right there. Why are you being weird about this?

In healthcare IT there's often a person who specializes in just printers. My friend makes a lot of money doing that.

For an alternative, I went to Deezer and love it. You should look at some comparisons to see if one is better for you.

Their hybrid mattress is damn good for the price, especially when it's on sale. Not everyone can afford spending so much money. At the time I couldn't, that Ikea mattress was leagues ahead of the competition.

I did the same research and your second set of points are spot-on. Hybrid mattress with pocket springs are amazing.

The only physical store worth a damn is Ikea. Their hybrid mattresses aren't bad and decently priced. Although it tended to sag after a few years, it was still worth it for the price I paid.

I've since gone with Titan mattress and have been extremely happy paying a bit more for the increased quality and durability. I've had mine for 3 years and it hasn't shown any signs of wear.

3 main reason I cancelled Amazon:

  1. Counterfeits. Can get the items direct for same price & shipping now anyways.
  2. Shipping so unreliable.
  3. My "new" items were quite often repackaged returns, usually missing parts.

I mean, it's pretty simple for me in that I won't pay for a streaming service that has ads. Others might, but I don't care what others pay for. I left cable for this reason and I'll leave its next incarnation if that is to be.

Yup, it's so easy now to buy direct. Same price, same shipping, no counterfeits. One of the things that was really annoying me about Amazon was how often my "new" item was so obviously already opened and returned, often with parts missing. I cancelled and haven't looked back.

And in valiant battle against the edginess they just became more edge. Criticism doesn't get much lower than basing the review on the "tremendous over hype" of others. That just makes the critic a tool.

Wow. I had completely forgotten that I used to love Firefox mobile as I had customized everything with those extensions, till they disabled them and I switched.

It really annoys me that as a kid I learned about how awful Company Stores were, how lucky we were as a society to be past that history, and now they're back on the table.
