Don't get a cheap one.
So stay away from the Belkin?
(I love this place. Answers to any question almost instantaneously, and multiple conversations occurring at the the same time. How did I survive before?)
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

If I only had a brain...
Vanderbilt and Astor were both tradesmen, and the Vanderbilt children claimed a higher status on basis of their father having been a fur-trader rather than anything lesser.
Huh? The Astors were fur traders. The Vanderbilts were railroad men. Cornelius made his money in the 1860s. [link] John Jacob Astor made his money in the early 1800s. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
one of the key aspects is that we come down with convenient amnesia on a regular basis.
Somehow that never stretches to the not-rich, though ... isn't it all about if all the hideously rich and/or famous can have access to the same perks? Even if I could rub shoulders with Astors and Afflecks if I made a million -- I'm pretty much in the no-money class for the rest of my life.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've seen that a few times, and I always wonder about it. It seems to me like the video would be too distracting to the driver. (I know the driver can't see it, but somehow I feel like movie sound is more likely to cause driving into a ditch than radio or CD sound.) Perhaps I am just being a luddite, with a side helping of, "Bah, when I was a kid we didn't have DVD in the car! We just had to sit there and fight over who was on whose side of the back seat!"
That's how I grew up. Having seen how well children zone out on long car rides to a well paced kids' flick, combined with a four hour drive to my parents' house makes me yearn for the new technology.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Aha, I had it backwards. Thanks for the correction. (I knew one of them as a fur-trader!)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Jessica, both delivery methods are digital. One is slower than the other, and has a physical piece. The economic difference is $0.17 for the disc, and postage.
The licence fee is similar or identical, in both cases.

But you're talking about this creator that's getting shafted. If we're concerned about them, we should only buy. PPV doesn't help them any more than Netflix.

Today, it's the connections that determine which social circle a person will be able to move in, not how much money. If one can cultivate friendships (more accurately, symbiotic relationships) with the right people, the lack of money is no longer a barrier. Money will eventually fall into said person's lap, whether through an advantageous marriage or other means, because of the people surrounding him/her.

OMG! KAT! We agree! That is so odd!
WEll, yeah, it's odd. Normally you're on the craxy crack.
