What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?

Hmm, it's almost like we should focus considerably more on simple vehicles instead of complex subscription shit boxes that we have, to cut down cost of manufacturing/materials/parts/labour and now insurance...no big money in that though.

Or you know ...public transport is also pretty damn good option over any of this. Something drastic would have to change for trains/buses/etc to become commonplace in NA though, at least in some EU countries and a few other countries in the world there's a bit of hope.

Who needs glue, if you're hellbent on keeping it, stick the plastic back in and figure out a good place to put a screw/nail through and file it down if it goes out the other end.

If it breaks again you'll most likely be forced to completely replace it though, which is a good thing as it will mean didn't deserve the second life you've given it.

As lucrative as Valve and Steam may seem to buy, even for 10x that amount, any analyst who is realistic about suggesting the purchase to another company would know that it isn't worth it. Not that it's a bad buy, but whoever can afford to buy it likely could not help themselves but fuck it up and run the whole operation to the ground.

Still watched and liked MASH in my country in 90s as a kid (although not my choice) enough to introduce my wife to it a year ago and she enjoyed it too, having never heard of it. No clue what the other 2 things even are.

Sadly even if they're not, it's quantity over quality....just like the rest of the whole military there.

You'd think that's the insurance companies would be greedy enough to sue oil companies for damages, you could probably try to make that case, but alas it's easier to drain regular people dry and then fuck off.

Wouldn't surprise me the least if these early retirements were all planned so that Dems get house control few months before elections, can't accomplish anything with it because bunch of them are just as useless (double agents?) as republicunts, and republicunts get to blame all the inactivity over these two years on dems and everyone will eat it up

Well it's UK so I'm guessing now the friend goes: "skinny fuck" every day?

You can also pierce your ear drum with that thing (if something hits your elbow at the wrong moment) ....about 12 years later and it's almost as good as it was before it happened 😎😵

Next obvious steps for Colorado should be;
Do nothing
Point finger at Texas

How do you find anything useful on LinkedIn? (Serious question) Filtering on location with few of and/NOT search terms doesn't yield many results. Their suggested jobs are irrelevant crap riddled with 95% repeating promoted crap that you can dismiss but your dismiss gets ignored.

I use indeed and it's been steadily getting to the same point as LinkedIn where they repeat promoted shit, ignore filters you setup and just straight up serve useless garbage irrelevant to search terms.

Tried monster and zip recruiter couple of times, it was never better than any of the above so I didn't bother continuing to try.

FWIW we have dumb business owners to thank for that.

They've been doing this with the Indigo's for 8+ years that I'm aware of, so probably much longer. And ofc businesses fell for it because just like most cloud shit, nobody can be bothered to calculate actual costs, just fudge stuff and get your bonus/pay rise for pretending to have done something beneficial.

Just a few more years, like 10....maybe 15, 20 tops.

There's also the option of "collection/storagr places" by the border - businesses that provide you with US shipping address and hold your parcel, usually at least for few days up to a month or two for free....of course the downside is that you have to live near the border and whatever you want to order and collect has to be worth the hassle for you to go across the border

Now you're just being silly, google can't afford Devs to implement all this nonsense us unreasonable people might want, when they could be looking for ways to make more money off of our data

It's maddening isn't it, and probably not that different between US and Canada.

I don't think you even need to go as far as China to see autoindustryasshattery in effect, just look at our Southern neighbors in Mexico who aren't getting fair share on the produced vehicles while parent companies/dealerships reap profits, but that's probably a different conversation altogether.....I mean something is seriously fucking wrong when a car dealer is also one of the biggest grocery chains and god knows what else (that one is Canada, not US)

But the people in South Dildo, N.L. know exactly why it is named the way it is 😏
(Yes that one is real too, and as you'd guess it's south of Dildo)

This is probably one of your better bets and you'll learn far more than Lemmy currently has to offer, unless one of those production people who have worked in the industry (like my former colleagues) ends up seeing this.

I know some general stuff, as my work involved having operational knowledge, but not enough to give advice that you're looking for.

Surely it depends on the definition of "close/near", have they given detailed specifics or is that not public info?

I mean you could argue that since these aren't some intercontinental missiles, whatever is in their range, should be considered close?
Alternatively you could say, anything that can hit Kharkiv is fair game which opens it up a bit and not limiting the launchers to be "near" Kharkiv to retaliate.

Edit: seems like most of these articles are just reiterating the vague "close/near" and at most mention that US stance on long-range strikes has not changed.

I'd suggest trying waxing - as it's legs I think you would be able to learn how to do that yourself eventually. It's the one thing that has worked for me somewhat reliably for my arm pits (long story), though I haven't tried legs as I don't need to.

My wife has the Braun silk epil and we have the Braun IPL. Tried both for arm pits and lower back (...I'm a hairy man, not even gonna bother with other parts, just those that I need/wanted to try), and whilst the combination of the two lasted a bit longer than shaving, the results were still not as good as waxing. Also I find wax a bit more bearable to endure than epilators, but that would probably change with time.

Another upside is that not all the hair grow back, it's gradual, and they are softer.

Downside is that you'll have to figure out what works for you if you go down that road. We ordered a little heater of Amazon and found some wax pellets there too after the batch that came with heater ran out. None of the wax strips (wax on backing paper) worked for me though and they would end up being a bit pricey in comparison, but they may be ok for legs? And for me the major downside was that I can't really do my arm pits on my own with the hot wax, so wife does it for me.

If you used a script and it worked first time, and you haven't already checked that the script didn't toggle itself off, I'd start with that. Always had that thing happen to me with a custom script I added to VLC and had to remember to toggle it each time I started VLC

Had an achilles injury long ago, along with some other issues and I overpronate - I found brooks adrenaline to be reasonably comfortable for the price (got 3 pairs for like 71 USD each on offer) though glycerin were more comfortable for walking (never seen hem on offer so far) due to extra cushion.

Worth a try in shop if you see them and are neutral walker/overpronator

Lol yea, I forgot what timeline we're living in

Oh, I'm not denying that they are greedy assholes. But at the same time I feel like we're in that comic, they saw an terrible opportunity, implemented this shit and were like "no way anyone is going to fall for that", and "we" allowed them to like "we" seem to do with many other terrible things in this world, and here we are with them laughing away at "our" stupidity.

There seem to be just enough dumb people around to enable assholes like this to exist, which I find sad and disturbing. It's almost like there is a reason certain groups want people to stay dumb and ban books, ban those who are different from learning etc

Couple of other things about the print stuff; I seriously doubt this even needs to profitable for them in the short term (it likely is), so unless it's dead on arrival, the longer it keeps going, the more chances this will be the only available solution....perhaps a last ditch effort to milk us dry before printing dies?

And for anyone who comes across this in the future, at best you're paying 10x per page compared to what medium size business did many years ago, and no you're not even getting a real service.

Good bot

Shhh take your sensible nonsense somewhere else, we want outrage and shitting on everything here

Don't worry, no poor people will be hurt by this decision, at least not more than they're already hurting themselves by electing thieving bastards.

Same kind of people were getting the money anyway, so this is just rich not wanting the slightly less rich, but not smart enough to bribe lobby correctly, to get more money.

I have, what you may call "close ties" with one of those countries so "pretend" communism isn't any better. (hint: most of my life wasn't spent in the "west")
