Yeah, do it!

I had a similar touch when I was younger. I’ve worked for Circuit City, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Blockbuster Video. Sadly, Best Buy somehow survived.

The owner of the site (Ernest, IIRC) has some health issues that have kept him from being as active as he had wanted. He also wrote the frontend code as an alternative to the Lemmy software. Mbin continues onward as a fork of Kbin.

I wish him the best. I hope he gets better. I know too well what chronic illness can do to a person.

Thank you for that article! He’s a truly good writer, and I read a couple more of his entries before I bookmarked his site.

I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.

Fencing stolen goods between our store and a GameStop that was run by a former district manager of Blockbuster, plus her husband was a cop.

The first time was fun because I had a good manager and Netflix was still seen by them as the upstart and not a real competitor.

A couple of years later and things at a different location under a coke head manager made for a very different experience.

I try not to. I worked there twice.

Mind if I do a jay?

Several times I've had to wait for months on healthcare in the US system. This is such a weak argument against a socialized system.

That's doing that locally on your device, not on the carrier network. It's definitely a good solution for this problem though.

Very nice. Thank you for sharing!
