What if there is a secret fifth option that is the son of a car dealer?

The thing is, it's only a ROI if any of those passengers converts to a buyer. The act of seeing an ad creates no value for the manufacturer unless they are converted to a buyer. What you are describing is a market that has the consumer (ad watcher) almost completely removed from the conversion of capital. Being forced to watch an ad, in this case, only benefits the airline by their receiving ad revenue. The passengers are nearly supflourous.

What's the ROI on ads anyway? I feel like ads are just a way to funnel money between corps. People who are forced to see ads are really not even the point anymore. This is like corporations subsidizing other corporations. Don't even matter that you buy that item being shown to you.

Been using it on a fedora workstation and a Debian server for 2 years and it has been stable and amazing for backups and regressions. So fast and easy to use. I use timeshift to handle organizing and scheduled backups.

FWIW, I set up these distros to separate my home directory from the OS, so backups aren't clogged with random files in my /home directory. I use Pika Backup to handle the /home directories to a separate backup site.

It's basically automated, reliable, and sooo fast. Love it.

Wait till these dusky dewdrops get the vespers when they see my cut of cabbage.

Except in the neurolinked soldier will still be playing Mario Cart in their mind tossing banana peels into refugee camps.

@braingetter is Caleb Pitts from Podcast About Lists. He's a comedian and this is 100% irony. He is making fun of people who think like this.

Thats cool. Since these forever chemicals are already inside us and all throughout our environment, forever, I guess they don't need to add them to fast food anymore. 👍🏾

Modern cars are the epitome of feature creep. They have overladen these machines with overly complex systems that are all cascading points of failure.

Imagine dying in a place called Nutty Putty Cave.

Dang. That blows. This is a really good show. Smart, innovative, well acted, and based on Gibson's best-selling material. It just kills me how adaptations of his works seem to always whither on the vine. Also sad that every show that doesn't hit super-mega streamed numbers just gets tossed in the bin.
