And, you need a little anger management help.
Spoken as a person with an inflated ego and irrational sense of their own self worth. I'll take it under advisement.

I get along best here when I keep in mind that it's a forum of opinions.

I'm guessing that you believe that Facebook doesn't aggregate massive amounts of personal data... they just simply make billions by selling ads. :rolleyes:

PS, I've met Gary. He's one mellow fellow. Perhaps you're projecting your issues on him. :confused:

Another member of my fan club. There are a few more that will be here shortly :)

I don't feel that F-You's are really appropriate here. I'm an arsehole and an arrogant prick and I certainly wouldn't say that to anyone here.

See you around :)

So, if I have this right, being an arsehole and an arrogant prick is ok ... but saying F-off / F-U is not?

hmmmm...

But what if someone is being a real arsehole and an arrogant prick? :cool:

Don Ro 06-21-2018 03:24 PM
Wait a minute...I'm confused. Will the real Richard please stand up. :eek:

Tony wasn't just about food and travel. His mission was far greater. He wanted to inspire and educate, and help people broaden their existence through greater understanding of people that are different than yourself. He inspired me to drag my wife and son around the world, to show them everything that is out there, so we could be nicer to each other, and more understanding and empathetic in our daily lives. More tolerant.

I owe him a great deal.

I'm extremely happy to see the outpouring of love, gratitude and respect from people all over the planet.

I don't even really like food. All I ever wanted is a baguette and some fromage.

Goodbye, Mr. Bourdain, you will be missed.

:)

Some of my work is in security and at least you know these devices will/are invading your privacy, it’s hard to track the ones you can’t see or don’t know about; like the cookies and analytics here on Pelican :)

I saw today that the Orlando airport will now REQUIRE a facial scan of every passenger going in or out of the country from the Orlando airport.

Discuss!

Of course every casino has been doing that for years.

Both, think of what is said in hotel rooms.

Imaging if you picked up a call girl named Alexa :D

I wonder if Alexa would enjoy a nice soak in the tub.

Joeaksa 06-27-2018 05:12 PM
I am "Platinum for Life" with Marriott....

Unplug the puppy...

mreid 06-27-2018 05:23 PM
Don’t just unplug it, put it in the refrigerator or Security safe.

Better yet, put the Woodstock album on a loop and play it for Alexa throughout your stay. I wonder what ads would then show up on your devices?

If it were me, I would unplug her first! :eek:

I just have never seen the need for a device to answer stupid questions, or turn on a light. I am an old school, "don't need that chit" type of person, and am one of those guys who only uses thier phone to make calls !

Holger 06-28-2018 02:48 AM
I think here so many would point out the stupidity that a hotel putting those in the rooms would remove them quickly.

Holger 06-28-2018 04:13 AM
I think they should spend the money on putting universal plugs for the chargers instead so that you dont have to broing the whole set of international plus or have to go looking for a store with fitting adapters in the middle of the night.

mreid 06-28-2018 04:53 AM
I just stayed at a Crown Plaza in NY. Not only did it have the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in outside of my own, but they had multiple usb connectors on the desk for charging your devices. All this for $130/night and no Alexa!
