At a business, a secretary, almost always a woman, would answer the phone for all calls. There were no direct lines into anyone. If you were in she would transfer the call to your office. If you were out she would use this pad to take messages. When you came back in to the office you would always stop at the front desk and you would be handed your messages.

Decades ago I saw the Rolling Stones. It was held in an arena. I was fortunate enough to sit in one of those skyboxes. Because of its location to the stage, from a corner of the skybox you could actually see behind the stage. This area was just a huge curtain as all seating behind the curtain was closed. During certain songs some band members would go behind the curtain. And it was a blast to see some of them jugging down vodka which was clearly visible from my vantage point. And the show was great.

When hitler killed himself in the bunker. I would have been fascinated to witness how a guy responsible for millions of deaths somehow considered himself the victim and was forced to commit suicide. He was an evil bastard and a coward unwilling to face the consequences of his actions.

David Mamet - his scripts are outstanding because they are written just as actual real life conversations.

Yeah I have live YouTube TV and they no longer offer the MLB channel. I had got comfortable with You Tube in general because for years I have been watching the regular YouTube and I am paying for Premium, so there are no commercials. The only ads that you have to fast forward through are the ones embedded in the videos by the creators. The billing for both regular YouTube Premium and their TV product is smooth and hassle free. I have never sampled Plex or Hulu and just was wondering how they compare with the YouTube TV product. Regular Youtube has an MLB channel that I am subscribed to. They have game highlights.

 

I had been on reddit for over 10 years. I had a huge karma total. I was a mod of several groups. Some political some not. As a mod I never banned anyone unless they obviously broke the group rules, called for violence, or harassed others.

About 5 years ago I was Permanently banned site wide. The post or comment (I don't remember anymore) violated NO rules but apparently got many "reports". After about 3 months I was finally able to find an Admin who reviewed my case. They reinstated me and came right out and said that I should not have been banned.

Then about a year ago I was permanently site wide banned again. Same scenario. Obviously broke no rules. But I'll bet there were tons of "reports" which I think catches the attention of the admins. In my experience there I also saw numerous cases of trolls that would get pissed off at someone and then systematically go through their history and "report" every comment and post.

In the groups that I moderated I would see all the constant "reports". Most were always from the same people who apparently had empty lives.

I have tried the standard appeal process without even an engagement over the issue by an Admin. I get the feeling that it is totally automated now and there are no actual ban reviews.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get to an individual Admin where I could actually discuss my ban?

 

With the move to streaming for TV programing, movies, and everything else cable TV is slowly dying

 
 

Anyone have a favorite or top three that you can just watch over and over?

 

Specifically how the deaths of so many of our soldiers affected families and communities.
