Them: "Please rate the experience our support tech gave you."
Me: Your product is shit, but the support tech did their best and resolved the problem. Five stars for them, zero for you... but that's not an option in your survey, is it? And if I downvote your company, the tech will pay for it, right? 
five stars, would beat your board of directors with a club.

Greetings. There is so much that can be said about Gerry Anderson and his "Supermarionation" productions, using puppets (usually actually marionettes) ultimately to create vast hi-tech adventure sagas, the peak of which was the British TV series "Thunderbirds" (1965-66). I loved these as a child and I still think they're great.
Today I'll just relate one story about Anderson's impact.
One day, Gerry was on a tour of the UK facilities where the Franco-British supersonic Concorde airliner was being designed. Along the way, someone asked what he did for a living. He rather sheepishly replied that he made children's TV shows. "Oh, like what?" he was asked.
So he mentioned that he did "Fireball XL5" and "Thunderbirds" and such.
And in no time at all, he was surrounded by Concorde engineers and techs who wanted to say hi and shake his hand, many of whom said it was his shows that had inspired them to enter the engineering field, because they actually wanted to *build* those planes and rockets that were created for his various series!
Much the same happened here in the U.S., with the original "Star Trek" inspiring generations of engineering talent.
So yeah, TV matters! -L
I wonder if this is a test run for something more sinister. I hate thinking conspiratorially, but these days, you can't be too sure.

Homophobia aside, those Chick-Fil-A ads don't make me want to eat chicken. They make me think that cows are assholes. Now I want to go to McDonald's and eat SO MANY burgers to stick it to those class traitor cows

"do you read your reviews"
I don't know, do you stick your head in a large opaque bag that contains a combination of both delicious candy AND angry wasps in some unknown proportion
It's wierd...big wind storm everywhere BUT here. Not even a power flicker. I looked at my radar app, which can also show winds and apparently it was strong in the south, strong in the north...and nothing where we were.....
Happy 16th Rez Day to my Digital Self, Carrie Talaj.
Second Life is one of the few places I can be how I feel without fear of humiliation, abuse or mockery. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's likely saved my life on more than a few occasions.

I am straight up banking on losing power and/or internet later today given the windstorm coming this afternoon. Everything is charged up and ready to go, candles around the house ready to go. And I took the rest of the days food out of the freezer so I don't have to open it and keep the cold in.
How LONG it'll be down is another question....
