You’re absolutely right about rural areas. My dad has satellite internet and it’s so slow. We get ads for satellite internet in our mail all the time. I’ve looked into them and apart from the 1-3 MBPS speeds, there’s always a data cap. If I had their internet, I’d definitely use Redbox more.

Punish them the same way they punished their own customers: charge their credit card and tell them they can now keep the titles they forgot to return.

I read the title as Roblox and was going to make a joke about finally knowing Mr. Tallarico’s valuation for his sound.

His mother’s very proud.
