I got me a big orange drink.

This is a lot more obscure, but it's what I was referencing and I always associate it with Who's On First: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xus57BaY3hI

Neat! Thanks for the link, I didn't know that one.

It's one that my late grandfather was very fond of.  I can remember hearing it on vinyl as a kid.

Don't even get me started on eBay, of course.  If you know a specific thing you want to look for, then great.  But I've never been introduced to a new concept from there.


It introduced me to the concept cheap merchandise from Honk Kong  :P. I mean it is dirt cheap. Knick-knacks for a dollar, electronics for half the price of even amazon, etc. Of course it takes 2-6 weeks to actually get into the states (Chinese internal postal service is weird).

It's a bit more refined process then this: https://xkcd.com/576, but for 10 dollars up front over the month i get all sorts of little goodies I can share for people. Even if it delights them just for a minute it is worth it.
Life is short. Have fun.

Very interesting on Netflix.  I wonder how on earth they'll replace that.

Just need to simplify it:

Did you like this?
yes / no / I don't know

Yes reinforces algorithm, no reduces it, IDK has no effect

Did this film:

A) Make you happy.
B) Make you jump out a window.
C) Both.

From what I've seen, ebay is like amazon for finding random things you want, but with the chance you'll find something much cheaper that is actually the same price due to nonstandard shipping prices.

Amazon has everything, at least everything that's legal.

EBay covers the gaps.

This thread continues to make less and less sense as time goes on.

At this point I'm just going to hit the computer with something and hope for the best.
