s_s,

Well, if you get to remove one digit a year I’ll still have my thumbs. I guess.

Honey this is an Applebee’s, shit wherever you want.

📄 rule (sh.itjust.works)

alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang). Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America’s little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via...

We have a fee-free bank-to-bank transfer system that is based on pre-digital technology that takes 2-3 business days. We often call it “direct deposit” or automated clearing house (ACH). It’s often used for payroll and paying bills.

Now, we could probably make this payment system instantaneous relatively effortlessly (and thus useful for regular in-store purchases), but the banks lobby against this so they can continue to charge us fees and interest to over-use credit cards. (Interestingly enough, credit and debit cards all use direct deposit on the backend to actual transfer funds between parties).

This is all fine and dandy for most people because they simply can’t imagine doing things a more consumer-friendly way.

s_s,

You say that, but you pay a premium for these things to be generally less efficient. Why waste?

Republican energy policy is to let oil barons do whatever they want, destroy whatever they want for new drilling and pay as little taxes as possible.

Democrat energy strategy is to regulate oil, preserve delicate ecosystems by banning oil/gas exploration wells and fracking in those areas and investing in expanded green energy policy.

The political problem for Dems is that ballooning prices at the gas pump are very unpopular with moderate/undecided voters (reality is that almost everyone in this country has to fill up their car tank regularly) and the oil barons can manipulate their output, control the messaging and change these people’s votes (especially in an election year).

Dumping some of our strategic reserves when prices get too high is a strategy that counters this machination.

And if the world supply is in a high producing state, dumping some of these reserves can sink prices low enough we can refill those reserves for cheaper than we initially bought the reserves that we dumped.

Republicans then get on the horn and claim this is risky, helps nobody but democrat politics, etc, etc. They’re not wrong, but the entire thing is political brinkmanship, so… who cares? 😄

They decided a long time ago people will refuse to do the math.

s_s,

Because the food delivery apps pay their drivers that little.

s_s,

Also the fangs. /borat

s_s,

If there were any cuts no one would ever believe you

s_s,

You’re scared by a lack of boundaries.

I’m scared because Herbie Hancock still looks 20.

We are not the same.

s_s,

These pants smell like the british isles.

s_s,

We have more bacteria living on and in our bodies than we have “human” cells.

Kinda makes you wonder where the “human” starts and stops. Maybe we are bacteria driving human mechs.

s_s,

When they released CS1 it was in a similar state.

The difference is that nobody was paying attention to CS1 until after a couple patches were released and the game picked up momentum as it was improved and more fleshed out.

s_s,

Every non-rookie sports person is a veteran.

Why does the gaming industry constantly try to gatekeep certain language?

Get a more interesting hobby.

s_s,

Ranches were popular in the 80s and 90s when US boomers were buying “forever homes”.

For everywhere and everyone else, the foundation and roof are the most expensive part of the building so it makes the most sense to double or triple your square footage between those by building 2 or 3 stories.

s_s,

s_s,

Publishers will force smaller devs to move away.

I bet you Paradox Interactive has been shitting down its leg as this event unfolded. They almost exclusively publish Unity games.

Torbie-tude! She’s a beauty!

Copyright on software should be much shorter than other media.

Easy there, Counting Crows.
