Got a new LG washer, but some clothing item with a metal button got stuck between the seal and tore a bit of it off, causing leaks. A new seal from LG isn't too expensive, about ~$70, however, it requires the entire front and top of th

I agree with you, and this is much better than your previous "canned response". However, this goes back to my earlier point that even historically low rates can cause economic chaos if the debt is high enough.

If I wasn’t talking to you, but you were eavesdropping and taking notes of everything I was saying to another person, yes. That’s what the wrist computer is doing.

So I took issue with the automated note taking of conversations and didn't mention audio recordings. No mention of using Google or Facebook either.

That graph looks a lot less impressive when not "annualized". Annualized revenue can be gamed in a number of ways, and is a big reason companies tend to compare YoY to investors once they're public.
