Ah stop, I get the intention but b&b’s are a thing and always have been. Wanting to sporadically have a visitor in your retirement shouldn’t require becoming a permanent landlord.
Because Bitcoin is really really traceable and doesn’t hold a stable value and is not widely accepted. So real currency is better and if you show a legitimate source then it is even better again.
They don’t hate them, they just don’t consider them. Production is not at risk, they are. They are losing control and it is worth it to them to lose people to gain back the control. Above all else, even money they want power.
Senior Management make these decisions, if not C suite. They have a lot to do but these decisions come down to not letting business interests falter by dropping commercial rents and not having employees having too much convenience.
When the US government broke up the oil companies with an antitrust suit the owners were worth more than before because the companies were valued higher individually. It was the best for everyone but the owners wanted power not more money and value. Consolidation hurts everyone.
The service looks shit and seems to be their way of arguing against emulation “we are working on making these games available so there is no legitimate call for roms” is my view.
I hate that Mario is tied to Nintendo, Nintendo are a shit company.
DDG looks better to me, in dark mode anyway. But their results have become targeted. Even when I search with the regions set to all I get very local results. For example I searched for Ray Bans and the third result was a post on a small second hand website that I have used before. I can’t believe that this post is the third post globally for people searching for Ray Bans.
From Minnesota to Maine, Ohio to Texas, small towns unable to fill jobs are eliminating their police departments and turning over police work to their county sheriff, a neighboring town or state police.
The base car being the lowest tier? There is absolutely a demand for them but production has slowed to allow for increased profits, now the margins are bigger and they don’t want to deliver to the masses because it will eat into their margins if they produce more. They have limited choice and spec and are having s great time, we need china to come into the space and make it competitive.
I don’t mind people doing whatever they want but a lot of them are just not to my liking, but neither are Tupperware parties…I just don’t care about either.
A lot of these end up as headlines though, I feel that those involved would likely be headline regardless. In this case it is just unfortunate.
Google On Tap was unreal, hold the button and it would recognise all the text on the screen and give you definitions and such. Only one of these type of products that got use out of me
God the quips became so popular and incessant it was really annoying. The comment used to be a good source of relevant information and there were some really funny people in there but now it seems to be drowned out by the same one liners or bots.
I trust nothing on there anymore, it is very difficult to wade through the crap. All I want is a 3m HDMI 2.1 cable and I don’t believe what I’m getting.
Have you had any issues, I’m seeing ridiculously long cables that I didn’t think we’re commercially available like 15m 48gbps HDMI which I thought was above the length maximum
I don’t understand, wouldn’t the cable need to be copper to be a HDMI? If it was fiber you’d need something to convert the signal back to electrical from optical before the TV no?
Just finished season 2 and wanted to discuss. I think it was a little bit long toward the end and behind the first season but otherwise it was enjoyable. The actress playing the daughter was very good, creepy though.
This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

The proposed rule would raise the threshold under which workers are automatically eligible for overtime pay to about $55,000 a year, from the current level of about $35,000.
Very interesting thank you. Does it work similar to federation wherein if ICANN don’t recognise you you cannot be linked to? Or is this organisation where the buck stops with the internet.
Content not available in the EU, but I would have questions as to why a 15 year old was on a yacht with him in the first place. Unless she is a relative red flags should have been raised before she packed her bags.
Not her fault at all, his for doing this and her parents for not protecting her.
