Sounds like something The Onion would write.
I have yet to encounter a US ISP that doesn't have laughably bad customer service.
The reason I don't switch is because there are no other options.
The fuck are they smoking? I'd really like to try it because there isn't a substance in known reality that would make that statement not sound hilariously, institutionalizably insane.
I didn't feel it was rushed, so much as fast paced. The difference being in whether it felt intentional.
They developed the story well, developed characters well, but made use of timeskips to kind of gloss over some important character moments in ways that felt like they were leaving it up to viewer interpretation.
It felt like just about everything was intentional, but it also felt like they left a little bit too much up to the viewer to figure out. It seemed like each arc needed roughly another episode worth of runtime for exposition and to slow down and expand upon smaller character moments for it feel like the viewer was getting all of the needed info. Otherwise, I liked the fast pacing and felt like it worked for the series.
I also haven't worked food service myself, but I've had a number of friends, family members, and acquaintances who have. Out of those people the only ones who have said it was easy money are the friends who worked it in High School and College while living with their parents and being of an age where they were still covered by their parents health insurance and the people who were much older, already retired, and had a sizable nest egg set aside.
Everyone I've known who worked food service after college and/or prior to retirement has said it was some of the most financially stressful work they've ever done. In large part, because they were universally considered part time employees, meaning no health insurance; they were forced to treat even the most unruly of customers with respect and courtesy, which because of the finances attached to customer satisfaction was almost dehumanizing; and even factoring in tips they were paid very little, which wasn't a problem when living with their parents or having most of their living expenses covered by a student loan, scholarship, or grant, but once they had to live on their own and pay their own way through life was barely enough to get by much less live comfortably.
For the few people I've known who worked food service in retirement, it was more for something to do and a way to get some kind of human interaction. The money was a nice side benefit, but far from enough to pay for their living expenses.
Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.
Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.
It's been that long? My sister has a 5yr old and a 4yr old that I babysit on the weekends and I made the mistake of showing them The Nightmare Before Christmas last year. For my sister and I it was our Christmas movie and I wanted to continue the tradition.
I only see my nieces for two days out of every week, but over the last year I've seen that movie so many times that I frequently wake up with "This is Halloween" stuck in my head or catch myself humming "Oogie Boogie's song."
I keep trying to show them other movies but it's seemingly the only thing they want to watch, and they're so polite about it that it's basically impossible to say no. I keep hoping they'll grow out of it or find something else, but it seems like I'm stuck watching this one movie forever.
I know it's probably been determined to be irrelevant in this case given the focus on Google's search division, and forcing Google to sell Chrome and unbundle it's apps from Android is ultimately a good thing that will have a positive impact both user privacy and open web standards, but I can't help but think that they should also be ordered to spin off AdSense.
I was birthed to that album.
Alaska belongs more in the "acts mean, is nice" category. But it's less "mean" and more "apathetic and disinterested."
That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.
That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I've found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.
Did you even read the wiki? It's so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.
/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.
I think it depends on your definition of positive.
In the short-term I think there will be some economic benefits. Long-term not so much.
But for positive effects that's about all I've got.
The political climate will become more divisive.
Red states will enact more regressive policies driving left-leaning voters out, while attracting large businesses into those states with economic incentives. Which will cause blue states to lose jobs.
The Democrat party will be pushed further to the right as they try to court the needed electoral college votes from red states, leaving their actual voter base feeling less and less represented and driving resentment from the left.
All of which will eventually set the stage for a second American civil war within the next couple of decades. Though that assumes we don't blunder our way into WW3 by antagonizing China with a trade war when they've already indicated that they intend to start militarily enforcing their One China policies. A protracted trade war with the US would potentially force their hand. If that happens we will be forced to defend our allies in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China has enough allies and is economically powerful enough that such a conflict could rapidly balloon into a world war. Which would likely stave off an American civil war for at least a few additional decades.
I think we're watching the culmination of nearly a century of shortsighted, reactive policies enacted by greedy people that have progressively escalated in a way that you could almost mistake for a long term plan. I don't think any of this will end well and I think the new administration is in a position to make things significantly worse for a great many people and fully intends to do so. Nothing good will come of this.
Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that's a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.
It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony's potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that's the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.
Just be sure to do it in binary. You gotta squeeze all of the value out of those phalanges.
