the only one within an hour of here has very high prices. they basically feed off of walmart hate, and charge those customers a premium for the convenience of not having to drive an hour (each way) to get to the next nearest store that isn’t them or walmart.

some magahead: so that means 1.2…3…4…7 republicans… and 1…2…6 confederates?
at the office we have the ones you have to push down–and hold for the water to run. i’ve encountered them elsewhere and you get 10-20 seconds before the water shuts off… ours doesn’t. by the time you get your hand down to the water, it’s shut off.
i’ve seen two of these things around here. they’ve both been on the flatbed of a local towing service.

ting hasn’t been the same since dish bought it from tucows.

we have multiple locations with chargers.
there’s a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes running small businesses all over the place that think they own their employees and can boss them 24/7. this could totally be a legit posting somewhere.
if you want me answering my phone 24/7, you’re paying me 24/7–and providing the phone you want me to answer.

it just boils down to him hating and hurting the ‘right’ people.
didn’t go to full HD(or even 720p) on Firefox on Linux
you will run into similar restrictions on other services that use drm.
wouldn’t it be funny if tiktok ended up overturning citizens united. infinitesimally small chance of it happening, but it would be fucking hilarious.
another $1000, paid out of the minnesota event proceeds, for skipping the graduation ceremony he was granted a day off from court to attend.
the consumer always loses when industries consolidate into relatively few players.
the news on regular tv last night was totally lopsided. tons of ‘reaction’ from the right and far-right, hardly anything from anyone else.
