I will never give this useless fuck any excuse for the intentional murder he committed.

Is there an OLED tv on the market now that doesn’t just exist to sell ads?

If Ukraine actually did assassinate Tucker, I’d only support them more.

Hi, elder millennial here that’s starting to lose it. Is the joke here that they did do all these things back in 2006 or whenever tf2 came out?

Unless the senate itself is dramatically changed, Dems will never have the 2/3 majority needed to remove anyone, and I’m not holding my breath for the GOP to put country before party anytime soon.

For me it’s the fast shipping I can’t live without.

I recently moved into a new apartment and needed to run a network cord from our router to the other side of the apartment to put an access point so we’d have good WiFi coverage. I went online to several other retailers for the few things I needed (cat6, crimp tool, and a few other things), but all of them wanted me to pay ~$25 or more for their slowest shipping option of 5-7 business days.

Meanwhile, Amazon had everything at my door the next day with free shipping. I tried to avoid Bezos, but I couldn’t. :(

Since when do GOP senators care about what’s “moral?”

It sounds like they want to be acquired, and if their tech is as good as this article makes it seem, maybe Apple should. :)

RIP Rover :(

This is also a fair point, but it only takes a handful of one-day deliveries to “cover” the cost of prime with what most places are charging for fast shipping. And then that’s not including the many products I’ve never found a decent alternative seller for.

I’m not sure it’s ever good news when Epic wins.

Aka good news for almost everyone.

This was so hard to watch. He comes off just fully crazy to me.

Is he really delulu enough to think “earth” will not immediately blame him and his terrible leadership for why the company is going under?

It almost sounds like he’s trying to build a case to sue these advertisers—like he’s somehow owed their business, but that’s just as crazy. I just can’t get a hold on wtf is going through his mind here.

Who mentioned Bakersfield?

Seems like that’s what you get for naming your kid Brayden.

I would like to know more about the “irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry.” As someone who grew up Catholic, this makes me want to investigate joining the masons.

I’m in this exact same boat. I also remember them saying they’d never raise the price on us. I imagine their defense will be something about how GPM doesn’t exist anymore and YouTube premium wasn’t part of that offer or something. It’s still bullshit but I can’t imagine we’ll win.

I mean fine; you’re right. I could have sat on my thumbs for 5 days with no WiFi in my living room while I waited for someone else to send what I needed, but why should I have to? Is it completely impossible for a company to provide that convenience without also being a bag of dicks? (Or is that what you meant by regulation?)

I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

Also check out the lighting. I’d expect it to be brighter at the top of the stairs.

In high CoL places, rent is routinely much lower than a mortgage— not to even mention the incredible down payment that you have to get the loan in the first place.

As an example, a one bedroom apartment in SF would cost you around $1,000,000 to buy. If you somehow have $200k to get a mortgage, your monthly payment is about $6k. To rent that same apartment, you’d only (lol, only) pay ~$3000-4500.

On top of this, the cost of owning is higher than just your mortgage payment. Your lender will most likely require homeowners insurance which can easily run a few thousand dollars per year (compared to a couple hundred for renters insurance). You also have to pay for the big repairs yourself when as a renter if the heat breaks that’s the landlord’s problem.

Didn’t Texas make it illegal to go out of state to get around their bans?

Home Depot prices were 5x the online retailers for the cat6 cabling. (Not an exaggeration. They wanted over $100 for 250ft vs the ~$35 I paid online.)

Also, fuck Bernie Marcus, trumpist shithead. He doesn’t need my money.

anti Israeli

You lost me here. Civilians do not deserve this bullshit.

I hope they didn’t have to pay him for this. Like, I’m interested in watching a good doc about the shitshow that this man’s entire life must be, but not if he profits from it.

maybe this is because I’ve never played a Zelda game

Definitely not it. BotW is a great game, but it’s not a Zelda game. That’s my beef with it and TotK.

But if you make another hole upstream, how do you allow that to heal? It’d be extra holes all the way down up.

Other folks in this thread are speculating that they want to put their own video player in the store.

Sounds like you shouldn’t be listening to music either then.

Ok so not illegal— just too expensive for the poors. Sounds just right for the GOP.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Now the entire gauge cluster is a screen, it’s sad.

This is a really interesting take to me because I’m excited for all the physical displays to be replaced by screens. Because once they’re screens, the new CarPlay can take them over and give an actually good user experience compared the incredible dog shit quality in-car experience that the manufacturers provide.

110% right. What a stupid article.

Don’t let them tell you it’s the lack of density that is the problem. I live in a major US city with high density, and there is only one provider that offers actual broadband at my address (~$100/mo for 500Mb/s service). The “competition” wants me to pay $50/mo for 20 Megabit DSL.

Well the VLC one was free, and I’m guessing theirs won’t be.

Nothing I have done in my career has given me even close to the benefit I got from learning Haskell. I don’t get to use it professionally, but the patterns I learned to recognize in Haskell are everywhere.

I couldn’t find anywhere within an hour’s commute of me that sold what I needed at reasonable prices.

Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any I'll feelings I bestowed upon you.

Not at all! I’ve enjoyed the conversation!

No matter how clear your law is, if SCOTUS doesn’t like it, they can just declare it unconstitutional after the first yahoo with standing sues the government.

This is a really interesting train of thought!

I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

brooooooo
