Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018! We hope your New Year’s Eve is off to a fantastic start. 2017 has been a very eventful year. The Atlanta Falcons blew a 28-3 lead against the Patriots. Apple finally upgraded to an OLED screen with the release of the iPhone X. Bitcoin grew from just under a $1,000 at the beginning of the year up to its current value of $14,000.
On a more personal note, 2017 has been an incredible year of growth here at deTeched. According to Alexa, an analytics tool for ranking websites across the world, deTeched is in the top 100k for websites across the U.S. We couldn’t have done this without our readers. Our primary goal will always be to put our readers first and provide relevant content that you all care about.
Today is all about celebrating the accomplishments of 2017 and preparing for another fantastic year. With that being said, we know a good amount of people will be partying to celebrate the final moments of 2017.
We urge you to be safe tonight. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be drinking and driving ever. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 29 people in the U.S. die every day in alcohol-impaired vehicle crashes. A DUI will hit you heavy in the pocketbooks with an average cost of $13,000-$27,000. Make the right decision and get a ride with Uber or Lyft. It sucks that there will most likely be surge pricing because it is New Year’s Eve, but it is a fraction of the cost of a DUI. Not to mention you selfishly put other people’s lives at risk.
You’ll be able to easily find promo codes for Uber or Lyft credits if it’s your first time using either app. Uber is currently doing a promotion for $15 for your first ride. Just use the promo code HITTHEROAD. Lyft is also doing a promotion for $2 credit for 10 rides. Just use the promo code 20LYFTPROMO.
Again, we sincerely thank you for being such a big part of our 2017. We wish you a Happy New Year and may the only regrettable decision you make is drunk-texting your ex. All jokes aside, thank you so much for a fantastic. BRING ON 2018!
With gratitude,
Luke
