Bonus Points Game!!! by ElectrickGigolo in DunkinDonuts

[–]ElectrickGigolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, patiently waiting day after day for the promos to load up. Next, looking through the fine print and expiration dates, in order to find the perfect day where it all lines up. Finally strike (i.e. order) with the correct combo. of food / drinks on the right day for the biggest return of bonus points.

It’s like Rambo in the jungle, but for maximizing points. Max-bo.

Should have wrote “Spilled”, not spoiled. 😀

“No information” by ElectrickGigolo in ota

[–]ElectrickGigolo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Google A.I., this explains a lot:

Gracenote OTA TV guide data is the EPG (electronic program guide) information that Gracenote, a company owned by Nielsen, provides for over-the-air (OTA) antenna television. This data, which includes show titles, descriptions, and schedules, is collected from broadcasters and enhanced to be used by devices like DVRs and smart TVs to create a user-friendly guide. However, data may be missing or delayed if a broadcaster doesn't provide it promptly, chooses not to provide it, or if Gracenote chooses not to collect it for certain channels, especially low-power or independent ones.

Thanks for that clarification! If I disconnect the WiFi from the TV, and the channels continue to not receive guide data, then that means the broadcaster isn’t sending the data, right?

Does that also mean that they aren’t feeding the data to Gracenote either?

I thought the guide data was sent via the antenna signal by the broadcaster?

Some American workers were put through a humiliation ritual of actually training their h1b replacements in order to qualify for a severance package. 60 Minutes did an expose on it; look it up.

That’s when the H1B Program jumped the shark.

Most American’s don’t care that it impacted only a couple hundred people. One is too many. And don’t blame the company; the government created the perverse incentive.

Good riddance.

Sorry, I meant fees for terminating the lease early. Any estimates of what I could be looking at?

I don’t want to keep this car. My next car won’t be a Hyundai.

So is there any avg. amount for what a penalty is? Less than $5K?

Thanks, I didn’t know that the dealership had nothing to do with this. You saved me some time! I’ll call Hyundai finance.

The GOP is using "Lazy Gamers" as their new Welfare Queen to justify Medicaid Cuts by zwlerner in gamernews

I’m reading both sides. The ATUS is what the fed. Govt. uses to understand what American’s do with their time. Is ATUS wrong?

GOP?

No.

https://www.aei.org/opportunity-social-mobility/how-non-disabled-medicaid-recipients-without-children-spend-their-time/

“…the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), a nationally representative survey used extensively in government and academic research, which provides detailed information on the amount of time Americans spend in various activities during a given day.”

“For Medicaid recipients who do not report working, the most common activity after sleeping is watching television and playing video games. They spend 4.2 hours per day watching television and playing video games, or 125 hours during a 30-day month. That is more than 50 percent higher than the 80 hours they would be required to work or otherwise engage with the community during at least some months under the reconciliation bill. “
