ergo, thanks for the report. It makes sense, anything more than that basic info and people would use it to game Google.

I have no idea what their current lineup is like but the Fujifilm cameras are worth at least looking at.

Will reCAPTCHA ver 2 disappear automatically? I've got some other options on my scripts rather than using ver 3.

Economics & Investing / Re: Marriott cuts current-quarter forecast on weak North America demand

The US does not sound or look like a very inviting place to visit right now. Starting with the TSA, moving on to airlines that make Greyhound buses look friendly, weird fellow passengers and you haven't even got here yet.
As for 'Mericans, I think people are getting spooked and starting to hunker down financially.

Hardware & Technology / Re: First Road in U.S. Made With Recycled Plastic Paved on UCSD Campus
« on: November 06, 2018, 12:38:25 AM »
Sounds kinda neat. We had some roads paved using a binder made from old tires and that seemed to go well but it never seemed to gain wider use.
There was a local newspaper article, the county government was looking into some sort of spray on topping for asphalt roads that was made partly from recycled plastic. It was supposed to make the road last longer. I don't know if they ever followed through with that.

Google can't be both advert referee and the internet's biggest ad pusher at the same time.

Yeah he did a nice shout out to Aaron for being right from the start. I liked that.

That is impressive. I didn't know Amazon warehouses were that big, or that they sold cruise ships. That is going to take a lot of bubble wrap.
