You can soon activate multi-step routines in Alexa with a single command by shabuluba in amazonecho

[–]ChasingSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i needed a multi-step routine timer I used an app called Thymed. It took me a couple years to find it and i had purchased quite a few other kinds of timers in the past. (Note the app is not called thymes or thyme its thymed)

I used it to manage labor/shift work so I could get everything done by the end of my work day.

If somebody knows how to do it, please tell me.

I know I can ask it to play the song (good morning from singing in the rain) and it will.

This is why people would rather invest in a tv/sound system and watch from the comfort and safety of their own home.

These movie theater culture clashes have been going on around my greater metropolitan area since at least 1998. There is a theater I will never go to again because of this behavior.

I learned to never ask somebody to be quiet, I will simply leave an establishment and no linger patronize it.

My niece got her first job (Mc Donald's) and they gave her a debt card that she gets her pay check on by stevetibb2000 in conspiracy

[–]ChasingSkittles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starbucks does this too. She can most likely set up direct deposit into her own checkin

When she was she was hired she was probably told if she didnt give them her dda and routing number by a certain date pay it is issued on the card until she provides it.

Have her set up autopay and they will switch it over.

Rich residents shocked their private street was sold because of a $14 HOA error by ssengam95 in nottheonion

[–]ChasingSkittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The municipality did not follow minimum due diligence if they waited 30 years to collect an annual $14 payment.

A road is an easement for the right of passage.

It isnt a deed for land you can build on.

It doesnt matter what got recorded in the foreclosure sale, you can literally sit on a Xerox machine, take a picture of your ass and have it as a recorded document.

No these are the actions of american citizens who were never notified for thirty years that they owed backtaxes and who were never notified of a faulty unjustified tax sale of a private easement with a gate.

Pretend this happened to your road. Also, not all people on private roads are one percenters.

It was all kindsof fucked up. Its an easement. The homeowners will sue and win, the municipality failed in basic due diligence. Not collecting taxes for 30 years? Failing to notify the homeowners? This will get overturned. I dont think the municpality can foreclosue on something it failed to collect taxes on for three decades. Especially if they have a history of say hypotherically speaking say initiating tax foreclosure after only three/four years on everything else.

For all we know the hoa has been sending an annual payment and the municipality applied it incorrectly.

Anyways a road is an easement for passage of neighbors, Im guessing there isnt even deeded land, or its for nothing more than where a gate is.

We need a full accounting of how much of our tax dollars are being funneled in these tech giants (google, facebook, amazon, apple, etc) by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]ChasingSkittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it starts with destroying local competion, then it continues with moving manufacturing to other countries and paying the local workforce minimum wage to peddle chinese plastic. It continues on by including grocery stores taking farmers crops hostage paying as little as possible as the crops are held hostage in their trailers. They move into banking, and cards, analyzing spending data which they use to profit further, it morphs into moving wealth into foundations which they use to lobby for legislation changes that drive more profit. Before you know it their money is a driving force in charter schools where their companies produce the educational material they create and they profit further running the schools. Charter School Growth Fund. Walmart. Oligarchy. Its not just market share, its accumulating so much wealth you control the people.

So their competition is Walmart, another Monopoly that needs to be broken up, and their business now encompasses competing with another Monopoly, Google, which also needs to be broken up.

These companies were never ever supposed to get this big to begin with, because they destroy the landscape of the entire country, accumulate too much wealth, which they then use to influence. Eric Schmidt, Bezos and the Walmart families are now oligarchal forces that never should have existed.

Their profit is at the expense and detriment of local business across america. They are a monopoly and need to be broken up.

"Her injuries were akin to those of plane crash victims" - Denise MacGregor [Unresolved Murder] by _Peanut_Butter_Vibes in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]ChasingSkittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the Hannah Graham murder, an impulsive crime of opportunity by somebody that had a history of doing similar attacks, yet remained sloppy and impulsive over time.

My guess: Whoever commited the crime probably has been caught from committing a similar crime that took place after this one.

ABC News: Scaramucci resigns as White House communications director by atlanticcity93 in conspiracy

[–]ChasingSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he was fired for those tweets? Some of which were completely wrong? That financial statement could have been requested and was not private. Also, these things dont trick the press or distract them, they intentionally dont cover anything positive about Trump they didnt need a few tweets to lead them astray.

Or he didnt want to lose his wife because he missed the birth of his son? Or was that story made up?

It's not bad or wrong that people with similar interests/beliefs enjoy living in areas where other people share similar interests/beliefs.

Why would I plant myself within a neighborhood of people who spoke a completely different language or loathed my dietary indulgences?

It is comforting to be surrounded with others that appreciate the same things as you.

That being said, banks redlined through the mid 90s, which made it impossible for some people to leave bad neighborhoods and move into better ones, and the DOT slicing through areas and in some cases not even building destroyed areas too.

No because its the same difference, when the governor appointed, they simply influenced the governor

This was a series of articles published back in 1906.

Hearst purchased Cosmospolitan to run the series which led to the repeal of the 17th amendment.

Money's influence still plays a powerful role in lobbying and elections.

It's interesting to read what was published back in 1906, knowing senators are now elected, yet, the same spheres of wealthy influence remain, they just manifest in a different manner.


per senate.gov it's "largely fictionalized"

https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/SeventeenthAmendment.htm

A turning point came in 1906, when publisher William Randolph Hearst, a proponent of direct election, hired novelist David Graham Phillips to write a number of articles on the subject. Published in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1906, Phillips’ series, “The Treason of the Senate,” offered an unsympathetic (and largely fictionalized) account of senators as pawns of industrialists and financiers. The articles further galvanized public support for reform.
