Retailers operate on exceptionally thin margins so that they make nothing or next to nothing outside of major consumer holidays. The day after Thanksgiving became a day when most were off work so they’d take advantage of the extra time to go get some Christmas shopping done. Retailers would go from “in the red” to “in the black” from a profit and loss perspective.

Retailers noticed and started offering sales to lure in these shoppers who were spenders.

Door buster sales as loss-leaders became a thing and soon everyone was in on the consumer holiday.

It can be worse, we had to add a captcha for those link scanners cause they’d submit the forms and invalidate tokens too:(

I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.

I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.

I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.

Not in any order of magnitude

I have to look it up every time, but this is always worth reading once a year to remind yourself:

I think you meant YAGNI, but I dunno, YOLO might be a legit strategy for you too ;)

I can’t stop laughing at this. Thank you!

I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.
