    I felt that Amazon had the best chance to step into the ticketing game as they have the platform that can handle the volume spikes (Cyber Monday). But tech infrastructure is only a…

    May be incompatible with OpenAI possibly becoming more PG-13 rated in the future? I had thought this would be combined with OpenAI launching a set top box where you could talk to a…

    I have called them casinos for kids elsewhere due to the bright colors, flashing text, and money counters going up, up, up on the screen. And also because my kids can spend tens of…
