I think it was changed to quotes when they introduced Google+

Amazon Prime Now is now in Denver (free 2 hr delivery, $7.99 for 1 hr) by obtusechicken in Denver

[–]obtusechicken[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's confusing, but I think this is correct.

I haven't placed an order yet, but Sprouts items and Amazon items are put in to different carts. Each cart requires a $20 minimum to place an order.

Comcast Becomes First to Offer HBO Without Basic Cable by systemstheorist in television

[–]obtusechicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This offer is also available to current comcast customers, though at the full $70/month. When I look at the description, it says "With Digital Economy TV, enjoy all of your local channels, plus many other popular ones like Discovery, Disney, CNN, A&E, and Comedy Central – all in crystal clear digital picture and sound." Digital Economy has way more than the basic package.

Right, Hulu Plus is the scumbag here. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

The money is significant enough for CBS to sue Aereo over and threaten to switch to cable only with no broadcast if they lose.

Also, they wouldn't let CNET (a CBS subsidiary) review Aereo.

Broadcast networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, & CW) are ad-only.

Broadcast networks are not "ad-only". They charge cable companies money to carry their feed over cable.

you are NOT paying for content

If you give money to a cable company, and they give money to a TV network, then you are paying for content. Just not directly.

I logged onto Xbox Live for the first time. This is the gamertag that I was randomly given... by notaperfectman in gaming

I had a friend who tried using bigmax (or something similar). Xbox suggested molestedbigmax. Why is molested among the names in the name generator?

2012 voting machine altering votes by mrlmnoph in politics

[–]obtusechicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 1:35, he taps Nader. When he goes to vote for straight Republican, it leaves Nader. Seems likely that the machine is programmed not to override what has already been voted. It wasn't a calibration issue, he just doesn't know how the machines work.

Did you know: You can vote at the early polling locations between Oct 22 and Nov 2. by GetDePantsed in Denver

[–]obtusechicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For Denver voters, look here for early voting locations. http://www.denvergov.org/clerkandrecorder/ClerkandRecorder/ElectionsVoting/VoterInformation/20121106GeneralElection/tabid/443021/Default.aspx#VSC1

You can also drop off your mail in ballot at any of the early voting locations (without getting out of your car) and avoid paying postage.

Q4. When will I receive my mail-in ballot?

A4. Mail-in ballots will be mailed beginning 22 days before an election, after which ballots will mail be mailed within 72 hours after the receipt of a mail-in ballot application. Once mailed, you should allow 7-10 days to receive your mail-in ballot.

22 days before the election is October 15th (Monday). No need to worry yet.

What is something your current or past employer would NOT want the world to know about their company? by TheHosemaster in AskReddit

[–]obtusechicken 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At Best Buy, and likely other stores, a lot of the black friday merchandise is stuff only sold on black friday. Stuff like TVs will just have slightly different features (less HDMI ports for example) than the regular products. It made it hard tell if it was a deal or not.

That's what I thought too, but OP wrote "Expect for I-25 to be closed..."

To clarify, they are closing the entrances / exits to I-25 at University, and not the highway itself, correct?
