Same! I finally “beat” satisfactory by delivering all the project parts. In early access I unlocked all milestones but never delivered the final project part.
Starting space age, only got up to automating green science, working on military science now. Probably won’t be able to play much this week though.
Elden ring was my first souls game and I kept away from fan sites and youtube videos as much as possible until I beat the final boss. Didn’t want to tempt finding a meta build.
If I needed help, I asked friends. It was a great experience!
Elon keeps picking companies that give big government grants. Space, electric vehicles, medical, infrastructure. Twitter is like the only company I don’t see getting direct government handouts.
He made his money from duping the people who give out our tax dollars.
I think he spent like 10 minutes talking about childhood obesity, blames the problem on the Dems and wants to support Trump.
Didn’t the Trump admin basically cut the Michele Obama’s school lunch nutrition standards because “kids don’t like the lower sodium options, so we’re bringing it back because at least they’ll eat the processed foods”?
He’s just postering to try and get a seat somewhere.
It’s a bot, his feelings aren’t hurt by imaginary internet points :)
There also isn’t like a critical mass of commenters on most topics, so down voting isn’t even suppressing points of view yet.
For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)
I do use a pixel, so the camera bump goes across the entire back, so there is no rocking
To add on to everyone else mentioning it, another benefit to password managers is that they auto filter themselves to the URL. So if you have a password saved for macys.com and get phished to macys-passwordreovery.com, the password manager won’t know the URL and offer no filtering. Adding the extra step of having to manually find your password entry should be a flag itself that something might be wrong.
I’m all for the camera bump. I can lay my phone on my desk and it’s slightly tilted towards me so I can read notifications without having to move my head directly above it.
Also, while holding the phone, i can use a finger under the bump for stability and to keep it from sliding down. I don’t use a case, and all these glass backed phones can be a bit slick.
All praise the camera bump overlords! \[T]/
Amazon does probably do this, but burning down a retail store wouldn’t hurt their competition.
Tinfoil hat time, the equity firm that bought toys r us, bain capital, somehow got people to agree that they could use the equity of toys r us as collateral, then heavily leveraged themselves to buy out a bunch of companies that competed with toys r us and therefore Amazon, and after buying out all these companies, collapsed in on themselves dragging all of them down with it.
Amazon already handled a lot of toys r us’s logistics at the time, so it was a nice boon for them to already have the infrastructure in place to support that market when suddenly toys r us starts making highly risky leveraging decisions.
We have waiting times too, the more elective it is the longer it is.
For my yearly checkup, the first time I went, their first availability was 3 months later. It’s the same time every year now because I book next years appointment at each visit.
I thought I needed a CPAP, I had to wait a week to get the home sleep study equipment and then two more weeks to meet with the doctor. I had a copay of $50 with that doctor but had to buy the CPAP for about $800
I scheduled a vasectomy and it took 3 months for the consult and another 6 for the procedure and it cost $750 out of pocket.
I pay $350/no for my insurance plan which has now has no copays and no coinsurance until I reach my yearly deductible of $3500 (which means I pay 100% of all medical costs before my insurance does anything) and my employer covers about $300/mo. So $7800/yr in total to basically just have protection in case a major accident happens.
Agreed, but that won’t change until first past the post is changed and honestly, third party candidates should stop moonshotting for president. Build up the third party in local elections first.
The government wants more data. It feels like it’s a common unspoken rule that tipped employees don’t claim cash tips.
So it seems like “hey, since you lie to us to keep your cash tips and it’s optically bad and a waste of IRS resources to even pursue you, just tell us how much you actually made for data collection reasons and we’ll ignore it”
Instead of spending all that money on resources to deport people, why not spend that same money on speeding up the immigration process?
From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.
Some cashier’s said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they’ll put the change on the counter in return.
There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn’t want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist
People listen to other people’s opinions. You don’t care about joe rogans opinion, so his endorsement means nothing. Other people do listen to him and will take his endorsement into consideration. “I agree with what Rogan says alot, he’s probably more well informed than me, so if he says someone is worth the vote, well then I don’t have to think about it myself and can trust him”
It’s newsworthy when a public figure throws their endorsement around, you just don’t care about the news
The significance is that he doesn’t control how his pension is funded. It’s not like he has a vested interest in one company succeeding by having a bunch of stock there, and he’s been in politics since the aughts. It’s refreshing when compared to other congressmen
My guess is no one is willing to take on the liability. Any new system that introduces bugs or introduces attack vectors from hackers don’t want to be responsible for any lost money and I’m sure banks/insurance don’t want to take on the risk either.
Magnetic tape and clearing houses for the indefinite future!
The mast majority of legal precedings end with a plea deal.
“Plea guilty to this misdemeanor with a fine and walk out of jail today, or wait in jail for 3 months and fight an uphill court case where people will blindly trust the police and we can fabricate any narrative we want”
“Oh you want to fight and post bail? Okay well for three months we require biweekly drug screenings you pay for, you have a curfew, and if the police can come up with some other bs charge while you’re out, we get to tack on bail jumping”
It’s not hard to see why people will admit to being guilty while innocent when pleading guilty won’t result in jail time
I write left handed, I do everything else right handed.
The only thing I would add is that with the electoral system, it’s not the candidate with the most electoral votes that win, it’s the candidate who gets half+1 votes (270 or more currently)
If candidate A wins 250 votes, candidate B wins 200 votes and candidate C wins 88 votes, candidate A does not win. If there is no winner, the house of representatives votes for president, each state getting one vote.
Another reason why third party presidential candidates are never serious contenders.
