I have one of these to run a small observatory. I had to try twice. The first was DOA. It turned out to be impossible get hold of the company. Didn’t answer emails or return calls. Fortunately I bought it from REI and they stood behind it. But it makes me dubious about the company.

Wait! You mean Apple . . . . . . . . copied someone else’s idea?

Still a station wagon, not an SUV.

Buying yourself an Android is a lot cheaper than buying your mom an iPhone.

This isn’t really news. Apple has done this pretty reliably since the first Mac was introduced. It is one of the reasons I’ve always resisted using their products unless there is no real alternative.

It’s a $300 remote control with a ridiculously tiny interface. I don’t get it. Nothing it does is onerous enough for the price.

The only merit of a walled garden is making sure Apple gets all the money. For users, it is a serious detriment.

You should be lucky enough to live in a battleground state. If I cannot fast forward, I often see an ad for Stacey Abrams, followed by an ad against Herschel Walker, followed by an ad for Brian Kemp.

In every. Commercial. Break.

So "fitting it around Tolkien’s original writing" and most of your other comments stem from the fact that Amazon does not own the rights to The Silmarillion. They’re working essentially from the appendix to the original trilogy while trying not to step on IP owned by someone else.

Also, in "Concerning Hobbits," Tolkien clearly states that, while not a distinct species from humans, they branched off from the general human line in the First Age. So, mostly unnoticed, they have been around for a while.

Looks more like a "Clueless, didn’t read the article" comment than a joke. Perhaps you should invest in some appropriate emojis so it is less difficult to recognize things that were intended to be jokes.

Oh, uh, lol.
