My dad drives a Ford Excursion... with a HUGE gas tank.
He can never fill it up due to the $100 limit on credit card purchases at gas stations.
Well, he probably didn't make a living with his Hummer. There are many people who need large vehicles to conduct their businesses and transport their families.
If I worked in DC, I probably wouldn't want to drive at all. The traffic there is atrocious.
Ouch!
I remember a guy at RIT who had a Hummer... the Hummer, not H2 or H3. He had to spend $80. Yikes!
Our gas stations here are pretty consistent with their pricing; we know which ones are the hight priced ones, and which ones are the lower priced ones.
Cool! We don't have Krogers here anymore, and I've never seen a Tom Thumb.I also go to places where I can get discount on gas. Walmart offers 3 cents off if you use a Walmart gift card. The same goes for Kroger and Tom Thumb.
Kroger and Tom Thumb offer more off per gallon depending on how much you spend at the store. One good way to earn extra points it to buy gift cards from the store for places you plan on going to. For instance, if you're planning on going to Red Lobster or Outback for dinner... stop by Kroger and see if they have gift cards for those restaurants. They usually have them in $25 gift cards. Since you bought it at Kroger, you get points added to your Kroger card. When you have enough points within a month, you can get 10 cents up to 2 dollars off a gallon!
Kroger and Tom Thumb go under other names depending on location.
Not in our area.
What about CC?
Yes, CC is required... but you have to have the equipment capable of enabling the CC.
I told him about what you said. He said what kind of computer doesn't matter and CC doesn't come with downloaded TV shows via internet currently. Period. However, he said there are subtitles available for most of them. You also have to download subtitles from opensubtitles.org but not all of subtitles are captioning background sound. Subtitles are made by people in the community, not companies. So it's not the same as CC which are made by companies.
Yeah. Some subtitles don't have good timing (film is compressed poorly causing film to be 1% faster or 1% slower) or they were made for different versions of movies (director's cut, extended editions, dubbed versions, etc). I remember downloading subtitles for some videos I downloaded. I noticed subtitles for one movie would get behind 1 second after 5 minutes of movie time. For another movie, the subtitles ended up being way off because I was watching a dubbed version. Dubbed movies are usually cut tremendously compared to un-dubbed foreign films.
XBMC has subtitles offset adjustment. I don't know about other media players. Another way is to download other subtitles that's uploaded by a different person. It sometimes works better than others.
I've used several other video players that allowed me to adjust the subtitles.
I know the feeling. Gas prices are still going up. It's now $3.65 a gallon where I am.
