Got Amazon Prime? You just got 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online for free
One-time offer runs out in September 2019, includes one hoop to jump through.
As Amazon Prime's annual cost has grown over the years, so has its spread of perks, and that's particularly true for video game fans who claim its attached "Twitch Prime" subscription bonus. Weirdly, paying Amazon's subscription fee sometimes results in vouchers for other services' subscription fees, primarily in the form of free-trial offers to paid MMOs.

NatGeo’s riveting series Hostile Planet puts you in the center of the action
Predator and prey struggle to survive in Earth's rapidly changing extreme environments.
It's more than an hour into a whale-watching excursion organized to promote National Geographic's new six-part series, Hostile Planet, and folks are starting to get restless. We saw our first Pacific gray whale before we'd even left the harbor. It swam right up to the boat to give us a good, long look at its telltale gray-white pattern over dark slate-gray skin. But now we're in the open sea with not a whale in sight.

"Mainline operations and regional operations are affected to varying degrees."

Scientists Predict Massive Ionosphere Inversion
Chandra, Arizona, USA. - A team of scientists at the Chandra Dark Energy Observatory (CDEO) has shocked the physics world with a warning that Earth will soon undergo a severe ionospheric inversion. According to their paper based on data gathered over the past year, they predict that our solar system will "pass through the Orion arm of the central galactic disk of dark matter". As earth traverses the sterile neutrino field at exactly 03:14 UTC on Monday, 01 April 2019, the normal right-handed chirality will abruptly swing oppositely to left-handed spin. According to the paper, this polarity reversal will induce non-solar ion-like effects (NSILEs) into earth's magnetosphere, causing the F-layers and D-layers to reverse position.

@NerdyDad I don't put a lot of stock into this, because I've heard that the magnetic field is supposed flip before, and when that happens, its supposed to create another life-ending event on earth. Sounds more like tin-foil hat theory to me but wanted you to get a read on it before I construed my opinion on it first.

@NerdyDad This is a joke
