We just finally got Amazon Prime last week in order to get diapers for cheap as their price on that is ridiculous, and I've opened up about 18 boxes from amazon in the last 5 days and not a single one had anything to do with diapers or was diaper related.

I GUESS BITCHES BE SPENDING LIKE CRAZY lmfao

They have a hub in Columbus for Amazon Prime Now and the guy I work worth ordered something yesterday and got it delivered in 45 minutes. They also do alcohol delivery here where they will deliver alcohol to your door in under 2 hours supposedly - haven't needed to try it. Its pretty insane and seems inevitable that Amazon is going to take over the world in about 10 years.

My buddy did this a few weeks ago at a party at his house. Started at 4,around 7 he felt like he didnt have enough booze so he ordered a bunch with Alexa and it was there in less than 90 minutes. Pretty amazing stuff.

CVG is getting the $1.4 Billion Amazon Hub and UPS (Louisville) is going to feel the burn when they roll out their own delivery service. Sorry, Kentuckiana!

Think I'm done with Azur, BTW. These wise guys effed up LSAT's filet TWICE but not before trotting out my grilled lamb meatloaf 20 minutes before everyone else's food came up in the window.

Place has been on a steady decline as of late, IMO. Was told three of their line cooks up and quit at the beginning of the month... which I suppose is one of the reasons we had to wait over an hour for our apps. K. Well it didn't stop the owner from getting blasted at the patio bar all night. Think he's oblivious to the quality coming out of that kitchen. Sad.

- Caught up to the season 4 finale of 'Breaking Bad' last night. Wow. What a cool *** character arc development with Walt (thus far). Gus is incredible, too.

- Gonna try and hit up W. Sixth tonight and try out their new Transylvania Tripel. Excited to try out a new Belgian. Souvenir glass, too!! #transy

- Playing golf this Sunday for the first time this spring for a local charity. Your everyday 4-man best ball scramble with a few twists on some of the tee boxes. Fields has been nice enough to join my squad. Never swung the sticks with him - looking forward to it. Booker is our D player. Don't get cute, now. Just make a few putts!!

- Reds still in first or nah? TIA for the update.

- WHERE IS MY VANDERBILT INJURY STATUS UPDATE?

By next spring us NKY folks will get our Amazon stuff before we even order it. Gonna be swell.
May actually be sooner than that. It's called "Presumed Necessity" and it's something they have been working on for awhile now. They will just deliver something based on your order history that you are likely going to be in need of.

* The Zurich, indeed, has traditionally been very wack (by PGA standards). It's always fun to go, though. You can't freaking give away tickets for free, but it's fun. Free food and booze in the tent I go to. A/C. Great view of the 18th.

* I'll be in LA this weekend visiting a female and having relations. I'm also totally "done" with this short term romance. I leave Friday early, return Monday late. When do I break the news to her? Upon arrival? After I come home? Mid-weekend?

* 13 Reasons Why Started off really well. I thought it had some retro feel teen agnst to to. Sort of a more horror/suspense-style version of Stranger Things.

Uhhh...false. I'm thru 10 episodes. Can't wait to get done with this garbage. It's basically 10+ hours of sanctimonious, social commentary ********. Date rape, teen drug usage, alcohol abuse, drinking and driving, gender identity issues, homosexuality....ugh.

* San Diego trip in June is a go. Unfortunately the round of golf at Torrey Pines was sold out. Looks like maybe a spa package instead. Taking a close girl who is a friend. Wax? Who knows. Perhaps. Not anticipating it. But very pumped. She'll make a great wingman, if not a conquest.

* A little TRX and yoga this morning. Speed work tonight. Crushing.

* Prophet's Prey. Outstanding book. I'm completely intrigued by the funamentalist sect of the Mormon Church. It's written by a private investigator who helped the FBI track down Warren Jeffs.

The auto delivery stuff will be second nature after a while and people won't even remember they had to go to an actual store to buy things. Eventually, people will be automatrons that never leave their house for anything. Their life will be awful but they'll be convinced it's fantastic.

Can't imagine how cool it's going to be for Willie to order a buckeye jersey and have it the same day

*Ignore this post, BBdK*

I've said this before, I think, but if you like movies at all, you should really be buying digital codes. It's as cheap, if not cheaper than renting a movie.

I "digitized" the physical copies I had, and have been buying new ones here and there for the last month. Doesn't take long to get a decent little collection going. Its extry great if you have kids. Getting digital copies of all their movies for cheap is incredible. Plus it keeps them all in one location, so it completely eliminates the need for switching discs. Much better than buying physical copies.

Ill be retired by then bub.

Just saw where my high school buddy(former all star blue jays pitcher) Stevie Delabar got popped for PEDs. Not something I would ever expect from him but trying to hang around in the league is tough. And why not try?

Nice thing about the Sony Android TV's is Kodi is on the App Store so you dont' need the Fire TV to run it.

No idea about ED TV's though

Or use Kodi/Exodus where every single movie ever made since 1968 is free, as well as every TV show, series, documentary, etc.

This is very true, but in my experience, the quality is pretty ******. I think that was mostly because the VPNs I tried greatly reduced my internet speed. I didn't want to deal with the garbage quality or explain over and over how to use it to my wife and six year old, so I abandoned that method. VUDU couldn't be easier, it's 1080p, and more and more movies have a 4K version available.

VUDU has a mobile disc to digital program where you can scan the barcode, at your home address, and pay $2 for the HDX version. It doesn't work on every movie, but it works on a lot of them before 2012. You can scan bar codes from upcitemdb.com and get the movie for $2. For almost any other movie you can find someone selling a code from $2-$6, or a 4K code for $8-$10.

Pirating just wasn't user-friendly enough for me, personally. This is more of a digital yard sale than pirating, IMO.

Spent way too much on building a HTPC but streaming 1080 through Kodi is just about perfect.

Basically, do the exact opposite of what Chase suggests.
