    Alternate theory: NetFlix pays Dish enough to make it worthwhile. It is necessity which forces me to entertain this alternate theory, because unless NetFlix uses a technology which is multiples better than any other provider of streaming video, this picture I'm seeing, with no glitches, could...

    I have questions about NetFlix, and I know that some of you are subscribers. I signed up for my trial month yesterday, through DishTv, and I'm liking it. I presume it's coming over my satellite dish rather than streaming through my wi-fi, because my wi-fi is not fast enough to support the...

    "Alexa, how many Alexas does it take to change a light bulb?", I asked. "Hmm, I don't know that", she answered.

    A flash of brilliance: The 11th Hour With Brian Williams comes on at 11 pm ET. That makes it the 12th hour. It's only the 11th hour in the Central Time Zone, where it starts at 10 pm, the beginning of the 11th hour. I watched a short YouTube video where somebody asked Alexa to tell a joke. I...

    As a species, we are fond of pointing out how much the cost of item X has increased since when we were young. An exception is my monthly cell phone bill. I get an awesomely greater amount of capability than I got with my landline phone in the 1970s, for the same or less money that I paid back...

    No one in this part of NC is under an evacuation order... it's only the counties at the coast. However, ridiculous amounts of rain look likely, which makes power loss a good bet. The predicted maximum wind here is down to 41 mph. I may voluntarily evacuate myself to my brother's place near Atlanta.

    What about the ones I have in the Cloud? @MikeE3, the advantage to me of Cloud storage is that what you put there is available to you from any device you might be using wherever you might be. Plus, the savings on heavy duty ziploc bags of course.

    I type them into a document in Google Drive, which is now quite a few pages in length. As long as I can access my Google account, I can access my passwords. Recently, though, Google has been offering to make up and then save passwords... that works better. I don't write these passwords down...

    We shall see. If it looks like there will be steady winds much over 60 mph, I'll go check into a motel.

    It rains so much in the Pacific NW that if you have stuff you want to donate to charity, you call the Salvation Navy. Ba-da-bump.

    Chilling out was the caption my niece put on that picture. It is SO nice that Julie and Zel upload pictures to cloud storage, and that they don't go more than a few days without posting more. Here's another that was just posted today.

    Is that the test that's being advertised quite a bit on TV lately, where they show a woman climbing a mountain of cigarettes? Hanging out at the pool:

    If my doctor has to make a mistake, there are definitely worse kinds that he could have made.
