Paper menus are much easier to digest. Especially the rice paper ones.

What’s not going to happen is your money to be stolen unless you do dumb things at the URL it inks to. Just follow the same precautions used for any other link.

Well, it makes it a lot cheaper for them to not have to print new menus every time they chenge their prices. And nowdays that’s almost every other month!

“ I absolutely abhor being forcefed marketing videos anywhere, anytime.”

The ABSOLUTE WORST are gasoline pumps that show you horrible videos and “music” of cats screeching. What marketing genius thought “we’ve got them captive at the pump for a few minutes…let’s annoy them with crap and brag about the ‘detergent’ in our gasoline. We will win their loyalty that way.”

I jump back in the car, roll up the windows, and play my music or podcasts to drown out their crap. Then I make a mental note to not go back there.

I’m starting to think a major cyber outage might be good for civilization.

LOL. Her resume “Accomplishments” section must be a thing of beauty...

* Lost $100 billion of market cap.
* Annoyed customers so much they fled to other brands.
* Forced customers to watch and hear things they never wanted to see or hear.

Yes, but follow Obama's advice and DON'T trust white people if that happens.

Barack & Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: "Leave The World Behind"

The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power & cripples the United States.

Good Lord, that is AWFUL.

But, “The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power & cripples the United States.” We don’t need to wait for a cyberattack when we have Democrats moving full steam ahead on that front.

Irony of ironies.

Or is it? Maybe they’re just softening us up for full effect of their horrendous energy policies and, when the grid finally collapses, they will have their scapegoat all lined up.

It occurs to me that when the democrats lose to Trump next year an “accidental cyber attack” might just happen.

I would walk out if they tried that with me.

I have done that exact thing.

The second button from the top on the right hand side of the gas pump video screen is the mute button.
