Why haven't streaming services introduced microtransactions to unlock a full season of episodes early? I'd probably pay a few bucks for a few shows to get it done when I have time available and avoid spoilers.

Is there a toggle somewhere in the bowels of the Office settings to universally elect to not paste garbage looking grey off font stuff by default every time you CTRL+V? Why is this the default!?

Weird. After the temporary GrubHub+ for free promotion ended in December, I was just able to use my current (also free via Chase Reserve) Instacart membership to redeem 12 months of free GrubHub as if I was a paying member.

Home network management has been increasingly challenging as OSes default to MAC randomization. I can peg a device for a short while but it eventually becomes anonymous or mostly anonymous again. While I am hesitant to turn off any privacy enhancing feature this is bothersome.

@reeses is your shipping partner for pies dead? It's Tuesday and FedEx still doesn't have possession of the product. Headed for an overhyped and disappointing Thanksgiving?

With HBO Max premieres, HBO is once again truly a Home Box Office. With the exception of title fights, which I guess never stopped. I'm a stoked customer. Now if they can just pull off getting that massive app upgrade done.
Yes!!!
This twilight hours delivery option is new for me on Amazon, and kind of frightening! Not great for dog owners...

Now the YouTubeTV and Roku fight is really interesting!
The @roku and @YouTubeTV dispute is getting weird. On multiple points, each party's facts do not line up.

I need one of those ring lights -- not for my complexion, but so that when I tab between dark mode supported windows and not, no one notices the dramatic change in light on my face as I ignore them on Zoom.
