🤣

I had one do that (well, even higher, 25, 30, 35, Other) for a retailer recently. Like, it took them under 10 seconds to ring me up and they should automatically get 25%? I chose zero.

You don’t even need a thought experiment. The hard data is there. Police in my are, for example, cut enforcement by more than 60% back during the pandemic. Crime and civil violations shot through the roof to the point of chaos. I don’t remember the exact number, but it got bad, ignore the fact we already have some of the highest gun crimes in the country… They finally stepped up enforcement a bit the middle of last year and crime dropped measurably, but it is still higher than 2017-2018.

I am sure this has been a familiar thing across many cities.

I mean, most low paying jobs are also part time, so I don’t necessarily disagree. Make it $50/hour, would be an interesting experiment.

(OP implied it was for some reason)

Wired isn’t a shopping site?

You just underestimate how noisy women having orgasms can be. 🤣

A lot of people don’t want to share walls.

“Hey uh, I have 3 loud kids and a wife who is loud during sex. Wanna be my neighbor?”

this.

There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

This doesn’t seem like a dickheaded move to me. First, it was a C&D letter, which has no legal status, and second, the stalker thing is a legitimate concern, especially since the MAGA camp is all riled up about her.

I keep patties/fries in the freezer and have an easily accessible grill and air fryer for when that urge hits. The only thing I need to get is the buns.

We rarely eat at McDonald’s these days. The prices pushed us out along with the poor quality food.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

Nah, the deck will pop up the portal automatically in most cases.

I have never had an issue with alternate wifi networks, traveling or not.

Wayland works with NVIDIA cards though.

Same and when I am hiking I also turn on “Do Not Disturb “ mode. It infuriates my spouse, but oh well. 🤷‍♂️

I always find it hilarious that Ukraine has sunk so many ships/submarines given they have no ships of their own.

Get at least 8 hours sleep. Note that this means “sleep” and not “8 hours in bed” so if you read or do other activities in bed, add extra time for that stuff. I usually give extra time for my brain to stop running a mile a minute

Go to bed at the same time every night. Wake up at the same time every morning. Avoid caffeine. Caffeine can cause sleep disruptions you may not notice, even if consumed early in the day.

Get tested for sleep apnea.
