I enjoy the cards and badge crafting a lot though. Flash sales were really fun back in the day, but I'm glad not to have to worry about the FOMO anymore.
Specific to Germany, but when a second cashier opens up, it's a first come first serve rush for it, rather than letting the person next inline at the original cashier take the first spot in the new one.
I used to work at Starbucks (almost a decade ago now), but at the time, the motto was "just say yes" to any customer requests. We also had free drink cards that you could give out to deesclate any issue. So I would say any time you're even the slightest bit unhappy, bring it up, and you should at least have your problem solved, if not compensated for a free drink next time.
We also had customer satisfaction surveys that would print on reciepts, where filling one out would get the customer a free drink. We always kept them for customers that were happier to try and rig the odds in our favour of a higher rating, but also if a customer asked for one, I would give it if I had it. You could always ask the cashier if they have any of those as well.
Again, not sure how much either of those things have changed in the past 10 years, and I'm not sure how regional it was (this was in Canada at a corporately run store), but maybe worth a try.
Also I love these types of threads -- great topic to post.
Next you're going to tell me to stop drinking raw rat milk?
Knitting. Always see people do it on the subway or watching tv without paying attention or trying. Spent a few hours trying to learn once and couldn't do it.
Google Pixel phones are the only phones compatible with GrapheneOS, so there's one reason.
Sure the gameplay is well tested (it has a overwhelmingly positive on Steam already from Early Access), but it's a huge game, and everything beyond Act 1 is brand new, plus many things in Act 1 have been changed (ex. one origin character was rescripted and recorded).
So while the gameplay and the implementation of the 5e ruleset is well known, the rest of the story and the journey is still mostly new, and that's a huge part of what will make people enjoy the game or not.
Just my few cents on why it's still important to see how it reviews. Mortismal Gaming is already reporting that there are some crashes, bugs in the release version, especially in the later acts (even if that is normal for a game of this scope, it's good to know).
Rewatching The Wire right now. I started clicking on a bunch of clips and my algorithm kept feeding me more so I figured I might as well just watch it all again. Never gets old for me anyway.
I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn't do that and I thought it was weird
You're going to turn down a perfectly good cup of spit in this economy?
The Bear was very good. Season 2 even moreao than Season 1.
Please also be prepared for the würst soon.
Feels very similar to the trend of 'why QA our AAA game before release when we can call it GaaS?'
The TikToc NPC trend
6th floor, no elevator. I think of it as part of my daily exercise. It doesn't bother me day to day, but moving in sucked. I think I would be annoyed waiting for an elevator.
I've been evaluating this for the last few weeks, and have decided to migrate all my notes over.
The free 1gb of cloud storage is incredibly generous, and since I don't use much media in my notes, it's really all I need.
Interested to see how they price it in the long run.
It's very dishonest to have it on by default without letting the user know, but I don't think it's any more disturbing than the beauty filters that are mainstream on most smartphone cameras.
Promising features that never existed is part and parcel to a lot of software sales, whether gov or private. Speaking from post-sales experience.
Best use case I've encountered is asking it plan a holiday itinerary. A prompt like "plan me 2 days in Venice including lunch and dinners based on Reddit recommendations with links to google maps" works wonders - you still need to verify that the recommendations exist, but it gives a great starting point.
Have you considered posting them on Mastadon too? You might get some interaction with such a greater userbase.
I picked this up over the summer, but didn't get too far into it before spending some extended time away from my PC. Will be looking forward to checking it out next year.
I do hope they manage Steamdeck support by then -- I remember it working okay when I tried it, but I think there was poor controller support.
The only pivot they know is the quote from Friends
I could see it being taken advantage of, say I start a community on my instance called c/games, and crosspost a bunch of offensive content across all federated servers. But I'm still new to this and might misunderstand how it works.
Yeah I don't mind ads if they're relevant - I scroll through insta reels from time to time, and am always getting ads about concerts I'm interested in, restaurants I haven't tried and sales at shops I go to.
I honestly don't mind so much, and if it's not relevant to me I can scroll past without having to watch.
I would say a lot of Spielberg's work. It just doesn't seem to age. I watched Munich a few weeks ago, and to me it could have come out yesterday. Same for Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List.
Come and See is up there. Kids as well.
Ford was also racist though, so that connection is still valid.
I thought MiniDisc players were more fun, if less practical.
What if one bullet is two sentences... Then should ask bullets end with a period?
PS5 owners are still waiting for the originally planned release date in September. Only the PC release moved to yesterday.
Yeah this would be great. Even user defined 'multi-communities' would be great for putting all my gaming, news or meme related communities into one scrollable page.
Your sacrifice won't have been in vain
I'm also interested to see what FIFA actually do with the license, assuming they make their own game. If that is the case, I hope it's an absolute dumpsterfire.
I was also waiting for a sale, but won't bother now.
Also on a P6P. Only complaint is the sluggish fingerprint reader, but I'm used to it by now.
Really hope that Google will eventually start offering more than 2yrs of updates though. Otherwise, happy with the phone.
Amazing job! I love that this is an option.
Working from home helped a lot with this. Saving money on transportation, plus the lunches out and after work drinks, made a huge impact on my finances.
Yeah, the most eco-friendly thing anyone can do is keep using the phone they have.
What happened?
I went with a Mac for my last work computer refresh. Had Windows before that. Don't have a Linux option.
