Not op, but I'm curious if anyone will help me understand my own reality. I immediately close my eyes to make the experience authentic.

"I have to spend 10 grand in 24 hours" as a imaginary verbal statement. (internal monologue?). Then I "lookup" spending money memories and create an object in my head without any attributes. I can tell it has emotional attachment from the memories, best described as a label. (I determine to go online shopping without much thought).

"most likely buy raw materials like gold". [Pause]. But what's unique about this situation that I can take advantage of? 24 hours [trail off]. Bonds would be easy and just postpone payment. Is laundering an option? Why is this person giving away 10k? What damage can it do?"

As the passenger, it feels like large derivitive stuff is silent. The inner dialogue is mostly probing. But here is a significant amount of silence betweens questions. I don't have a visual canvas.

Are others answering these questions? Frequently, I have a silent mind but pondering takes probing.

This is the first thing I've seen about the new series since release week. How are fans feeling now that it's been out a while? I'm a die hard fan of the original series but couldn't get past the pilot.

The advertised benefit is that if you throw away the cap and bottle separately, you have 2 pieces of trash to clean up instead of 1. The actual benefit is that bottling companies can charge more for a more complex mold, but the same amount of materials. Lobbyiest lobbied and tada! In reality both pieces end up in the same landfill or in the same water current to garbage island. Now we have an antiquated law and an annoying policy to follow.

#4 #3 pollutants list every year (p6) separate because the materials have different density and when damaged separate (p10). Feel free to do your own research Lemmy downvotes effort that they disagree with.

Today's kids use the activation scripts on GitHub which is owned by Microsoft. Just open cmd and run

It will download the code storef here: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts and run it, then windows is activated.

Quality of life has improved pretty significantly, the formula has stayed the same, and now there are more Pokemon with more unique properties. It was linear in just about every direction until the latest switch games.

USA calls them "take and bakes". Few fast food chains specialize in it like Papa Murphy's, but grocery store delis regularly stock them as well.

COVID hit and they released "play safe" features like remote raids and increased spawn radius. Then they started enshitification and striped features, raised prices, started starving players of resources and new features were pay gated. It's still mildly popular but you need to join discord groups to raid.

Skimmed most of the thread and there are a lot of guesses, the actual answer is presumably impossible given the parameters. Asset management tracking software is pretty much permanent tracking these days, screen idle time, keystrokes per minute, application focus tracking. A lot of higher end devices have gps chips in them by default, your works VPN reports it's trace route so it will have general geographic location. Microsoft and Google cooperate accounts even offer remote hard drive wipes to protect company secrets, regardless of the location. My work gets reports of where people connect from as part of the RTO policy. We had someone working from their parents house for a few weeks and got emailed by HR asking why they were logging in from an unapproved area. Most places can pull this data, but not all of them act on it.

I took out a 31k loan, I've currently paid 40k against it and still owe 20k. Exact scenario. Turns out 17yo me didn't know what major I wanted and I had to defer until I had a new plan. The current system is predatory.

I still think I enjoyed the game more, back when I thought he was a boss that could be beaten though. I went back and played the flash version after learning this and pretty much immediately beat it, it sounds like a lot of us played it quite a bit and it had little depth.

If you like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Silicon Valley you might want to check out Mythic Quest ( www.imdb.com )

I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest....

It took me a while to adjust to iasip. It's similar writing but iasip has a plot requirement of the characters getting in their own way which leads to unsatisfying resolutions. And there's a lot more yelling. Megan gatz is awesome

Op is describing the early stages of Internet of things https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/iot/

The general idea is that every Device can communicate with every other Device. Bluetooth was added to everything in hopes that we could better automate every aspect of our lives when a critical mass of devices can talk to each other. The Bluetooth receiver in your alarm clock tells your coffee machine to start remotely. But we quickly realized that the overhead isn't worth the payoff. But up until that point we made Bluetooth glasses, beanies, dash buttons, replaced inafred in most devices, power tools and appliances. It wasn't that bad, but there were moments when you would pick up a smart nose trimmer and wonder why they included it.

As much as I detest nordvpn they do have a 0 logs policy that has been validated. Don't give them money under any circumstance, but this isn't accurate.

thirteene ,

https://my.nordaccount.com/legal/terms-of-service/
It's only ~ two pages, 19 sections total. you should at least skim over the absolutely no guarantees, no refunds past 30 days, no refunds without needing support to "diagnose" your issue first.

Tickets are 3 day wait times, most of the updates are "do you know your account number" despite being in the ticket. The branded application is insanely unstable, since using ovpn client it's been somewhat stable but the android client causes problems with Bluetooth on my pixel. They built in multiple layers of kill switch automation INTO the product, they can't seem to figure out static ips. Honestly they are just incompetent.

That will likely change with any pressure though.

Leak your identity twice in 20 days and get denied a refund and get stuck in a multi-year plan. Yup they are great

Utilities, healthcare, debt, education, foreign aid, environment, tech spyware, freedom of the Internet, insurrection. I got depressed and stopped listing things... I am happy for any kind of a win, but I stopped giving ticketmaster money in 2007. This is so overdue, it's only becoming a priority because Biden thinks he can win over swifties. It's hard to pretend that this should be a priority, at least free us from cable monopolies first.

Tipping is a exploitive behavior used to underpay staff with a high variance system. Employers need to pay a living wage.

Highly recommend looking up a guide from a hair cutting chain. From the sounds of it you want a crewcut ~20mm 3/4", "blend the sides" so that it transitions well, they might ask what size to buzz the side, you can just say "shorter than the top". Crew cut will give you the longest time between haircuts as well, take notes of the actual length or clip size so you can be more precise next time.

I'll also drop this in case it helps:

You can also have a seamless transition, multiple varieties of the fade or a tapered cut. High end barbers also shave art into side of the head. Lots of different options, but generally people do fades.

Such an under rated movie

ADHD, OCD and other neuro atypicals often need reminders or an action item that needs to be cleared. The features can be used by an infinite set of one offs, starting a load remotely before driving home from work, sometimes you are just under a time crunch. The burden of responsibility here is product enshitification not making us fear features, not someone wanting to utilize a feature rich product.

Chase has actively fought against my interest as a customer, I've been much happier since leaving. Consider how many policies they haven't told you about.

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

That is correct, you can capture mercenaries for combat, and townsfolk can be relocated to your base (although risky)

The game is a heart breaking disappointment and a flagship example of enshitification. But the product managers delivered an amazing hack job. They retooled an existing engine, reskinned it tweaked some colors, and added item rolls and launched very quickly after the immortal failure.

The game delivered because the base design was functional, most of the failures came from the new loot system storing cache between players, not being able to scale mob size, lack of qa, lack of added art. All of which can be explained by the rushed time line. But the game sold ungodly amount of copies, just because of the name. Minimal investment and massive payout means it was a business success, although the players are still pissed that the original game designer had no idea what was fun. After the bad press activation did they try clean house but the damage was done.

You are an average shitty user asking for sources and down voting., The fact you liked the game shows it was a business success. But given how poor the execution was, many of us die hard franchise fans would label that response as an apologist. Diablo 3 took 2-3x as long to build, launched with full set armors, full acts, developed a new game engine and still failed at launch. Diablo 4 had roughly 40 uniques? At launch and the Uber uniques were impossible to get. Wow models were used for mounts and mobs. Classes from d3 used the same animations, the dark way was a single dungeon floor was used to at least 15 quests. The story mission was sold as a single act that is added to in the future so they didn't even write a full story. Please don't act like it's perfect

It's an artistically gorgeous game. The details are amazing. It has a high level of polish. Not a single bug.

Mostly no, which appears to be the minority so I'll share. Adding exercise is adding stress, you need to find time, expend energy, you are physically tired afterwards, you feel guilt when you skip, muscle aches... It's all just terrible, but your body typically rewards you with endorphins to make it feel worthwhile, and more importantly it gives you a lot more opportunities. When you are in shape your perceived charisma goes up significantly, mostly because you are more attractive.

Reward needs to balance with effort. You'll have a lot more fun with concrete commitments, or if you actually enjoy the activity and want to do it. Going to the gym is depressing, but showing up for the weekly sportsball game will make sure you run a little every week and you might make some active friends that will introduce you to more things. Pickleball and indoor rock climbing are two entry friendly activities.

Dynamic pricing is exploitive at it's base, allowing it for any industry is a mistake. Setting precedent for food is extremely dangerous regardless of the source.

Kamala Harris Calls For Marijuana To Be Rescheduled 'As Quickly As Possible' ( www.huffpost.com )

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called on the federal government to move “as quickly as possible” to change the way it officially classifies marijuana, saying that “nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”...

Or they felt confident that they would get a free win, and delayed it until the election news cycle. It's likely a bit of both.

Open source will eventually create viable platforms, I'm not giving up until platforms successfully campaign to kill free alternatives

You can flash a pi and have a standalone individual instance. Computing power is growing, scaling grows too. We don't have an option for stuff like AI today, but I could host my own Lemmy instance that only supports my household for $30. Site hugs can still happen but there are still solutions; seeding partitions is one way to resolve that, reposting requires rehosting.

Network engineering is kind of in the middle where you take the skill set of help desk and office management. This often leads to help desk and software development both falling under the organization in information technology. Application support also often falls under this category.

I've heard the theory that aliens avoid earth because they think we consume oxygen by choice which is poisonous to life so that we can generate biological fire. Seems improbable but it's fun to think we are excluded for appearing insane.

The horizontal display is meant to reflect our natural vision which is also a horizontal aspect ratio. There are niche scenarios like skyscrapers but the vast majority of the time it's correct to stay horizontal and frame the shot properly.

There is a large difference between factually incorrect and unpopular opinion. Downvotes are more of an indication posts are incorrect facts, not unpopular opinions. Even popular opinions end up generating discussion. The original design of the voting system was to up vote stuff worth seeing and talking about.

I used to work a job with a lot of swag, to the point I was donating ~20 bags a month. I LOVED one of them with a Passion I tried to hunt it down but it was a custom build requiring 10k units. Since then I've replaced it with https://www.swissgear.com/swissgear-1900-scansmart-laptop-backpack and the only flaw is that no single compartment is MASSIVE. As long as you don't need 1 massive pouch this has all of the best features.
