Text of the page (random words):
ome way for coned to set up a program so that would enable a voluntary contribution to a fund that would help those who are struggling to make ends meet for example check a box to round your payment up to the next dollar an average of fifty cents times how many million coned customers are there this could easily become a fund of at least a few hundred thousand dollars per month to help others keep the heat and lights on granted i don t know how you d sort out the truly hurting from the slackers who could easily be paying their bills but just aren t being responsible not to mention the freeriders who would look to game a program like this but i d like to see this idea given some consideration even if a few scammers snuck in through the cracks it d be worth it to me if i felt like i was keeping some truly deserving families from shivering in the dark it seems to me that it would not take more than a few lines of code on coned s end to implement this nor would the administrative costs be especially prohibitive also in thinking about the slacker freerider problem it seems to me that coned is probably already pretty good through decades of experience at collecting on delinquent accounts at distinguishing those who are truly hurting from the rest so maybe there s something there it also occurred to me that there could be some sort of lottery system set up and or some limit on the amount of times you could apply for the benefits which ought to further limit the assistance going to those who don t actually need it and if a few undeserving slobs do get a free month so what this seems like a classic situation of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good what do you think ruho ruho if this seems plausible to you please tell coned or your own local utility company

raytheon s twitter account responding to a jape from lockheed martin s twitter account with a gif of a grimacing steve carell from an episode of the office a show on the learning channel that is just goateed men dropping bricks on each other from increasingly great heights the broader vibe and actual experience of netflix a meme on a relative s facebook page in which a minion is dressed like a police officer for reasons that are not immediately clear all strong competitors to be sure but for my money the most patently and potently of this moment experience currently available is that of being talked down to by an extremely rich person who is obviously dumber than you the rest from david roth is also as good it s about the current state of affairs in major league baseball but it doesn

day three things came to mind there was no google searching basically sucked i still want to punch you if you say ask jeeves netscape navigator was the hot new thing when my coworker and best friend ddw took the initiative to download the latest release and install it for use on our office lan he reported it as this behemoth he was not being hyperbolic the file size was just over 3 mb we had a t1 line at work which almost certainly cost the company many hundreds of dollars per month if memory serves the download speeds were about the same as the cheapest dsl plans available now six years ago

wikipedia among other sites is not the one you grew up with if you re of a certain age it features many more characters and some different conventions it s hard for me to make the effort to learn this new language as it were and so i am from time to time frustrated when i want to know how to pronounce something however help is here i don t know how long this feature has been around on wikipedia but i just noticed it today you can hover over an individual character in the phonetic spelling of a given word or name and a tooltip will pop up showing you what that particular character means here s an example screenshot my life just got measurably better shoutout and many thanks to the wikipedians who made this happen evidently the money is being put to good use posted by bjkeefe at 11 31 am labels

through deadspin or gizmodo i saw a link to a post titled discover the secrets of the tape measure on one of their sister sites lifehacker that made me pause for a moment i was pretty sure there wasn t going to be any new information for me i ve been using tape measures for going on half a century professionally even for many years but i thought eh don t be a closed minded old guy maybe you ll learn something new clicked the link and sigh yep it was a video didn t click play i like to read watching like a drooling couch potato makes me antsy as all hell it never goes fast enough there s no equivalent to skimming it always feels like three more minutes of life tossed out the window a couple of days later i thought okay one quick look and all of my gripes about videos were confirmed i mean even going in i was thinking this could should have been a text post that would have taken about a twentieth of the time to read as it did to watch and worse 98 of the useful information conveyed was yes nothing but text streamed over video with each sentence displaying on screen for an excruciatingly long time and further in this age of oligopolistic telecommunications giants how about the bandwidth considerations even if you thought the post would need some visuals a few line drawings would have done just fine say four pngs at about 50kb each instead who knows how many mb were spent and don t even get me started about the pre roll ads you want an idea for a killer ai app make something that watches video distills it down to its essence and delivers the result in text the way god intended grumble update 2019 12 25 18 02 some more thoughts on the matter from me in comments under this facebook post posted by bjkeefe at 7 19 pm labels gripes vids 5 comments wednesday september 19

here s a simple and clever authentication mechanism that s new to me authorities watched as the truck arrived at about 1 55pm on october 23 to 3055 dulles drive in mira loma california a location near the airport in ontario california this location is less than a mile away from where karac had received duffle bags containing cocaine form chs1 a few months earlier monroe wrote she watched as ignjatov and hristovski got out of the truck to meet an unknown man hristovski handed the man an item which looked like neither paper or money i know based on my training experience and knowledge of this investigation that drug traffickers often use serial numbers on dollar bills as a method of identification when conducting drug transactions monroe added accordingly i believe that the item hristovski handed to the unknown man may have been a dollar bill so that the unknown man could confirm the identity of ignjatov and hristovski by the serial number on the bill source posted by bjkeefe

like an avenging angel at least for those with a certain view of what ails contemporary american literature he exists off the literary grid which is to say that he lives in the real world and has a real job as a public defender in the criminal courts of manhattan he has no m f a no teaching post the academy hasn t laid a finger on him he self published his first novel a naked singularity in 2008 after eighty eight agents turned it down against all odds it found a literary audience and when the university of chicago press republished it in 2012 it received the pen bingham prize as the best début fiction of the year my second thoughts however how many other aspiring novelists have been rejected time and time again simply because their novels weren t any good is passing the above along akin to rejoicing because someone won the lottery while neglecting to reflect upon the millions of people who week after week blow tens or hundreds or thousands of dollars seeking that lucky ticket i don t mean to disparage sergio de la pava at all the review in which the above appeared certainly makes me want to read all three of his books just it s complicated posted by bjkeefe at 1 33 pm labels
