Comment Re:windows 7 (32bit) with teamviewer is easy to ha (Score 1) 77

The suck part of that is that inevitably these expenses only drive up utility prices. So some fuckwad goes consequence free working out of an Iranian government building. Should drive up their costs seven fold. Nuke their oil fields so they cant be used for 30yrs. Only people buying it was Russia in exchange for the hypersonic missiles they gave the Houthis. Seems like eliminating Iranian Oil would hurt Iran and Russia more than the drop in production would impact global sales to the rest of us.

Comment Re:Why? (Score 1, Flamebait) 77

Im tired of seeing everything coming from Iran. The Houthis fire on our ships. Now its reported they have obtained hypersonic missiles. The same hypersonic missiles that Russia gave Iran in exchange for weapons and soldiers in their ongoing war in Ukraine. If Iran is trying to poison our waters its time to do the same. Drop nukes on all their oil fields so they cannot extract their oil for 30 years. Then tell them they are to round up all the Houthis theyve been supplying weapons to, and deliver their heads in hand woven wicker baskets. If we so much as see a 3ft drone in the air or under water anywhere in the red sea, we will nuke every aquifer for 500 miles. These primitive sister-raping inbreds only respond to strength. The only diplomacy they respect is after they are looking at a bloody stump that used to be their hand.

Youd better pack up every blood relative you give a shit about. This isnt the US. Retribution is still possible. Hell China is considered a firdt world country and they sure as fuck would stick your entire bloodline in a work camp. In a 3rd world African country your family could be chopped uo with a machete. Most people have friends and family to go after. By uour single-pointed view, Its sad you have neither.

If you think the part where there is no loss of pay will be a thing; I have a bridge to sell you. Cutting hours back to 32 wont be the problem. Keeping the same pay without jacking up the cost of living on the other hand will. Just look what happened when obamacare mandated coverage for anyone working more than 32hrs. First, employers started cutting workloads to below 32 hours. Secondly they stopped paying a portion of thw premiums leaving the employee to subsidize their own crappy deductible plans. Now lets look at the covid work crisis. This is a clear example of wages increasing without raising minimum wage. Demand was higher than supply such that even entry level jobs now pay )12-$14 per hour. However, the market saw this as an opportunity yo jack up rent and dont get me started on food inflation. The bet result was despite the increase in wages, spending power actually went down due to even less disposable income. I dont need a crystal ball to predict yet another major jump in cost of living expenses. I am not against working less, but I dont want to be homeless because of it.

It might not even have to be ultra processed. It could be the additives, preservatives, and hormones. In the 80s it was something like 1in50 or 1in25 people got cancer by a certain age. Now it is 1in4. Air quality was not so great in the 70s, this was before unleaded gas and catalytic converters. My money is on the chems in the food. Organic isnt much better in some cases. Go look at ‘organic’ sour cream. The ingredients list takes several lines. Now go look at the ingredient list of regular Daisy (not lowfat). It has 1 ingredient: cream. Since the 80s its been an onslaught of artificial flavors, red dye #40, high fructose corn syrup. It might not even be a single culprit. It could be a 1+1=6 situation where ingesting 2 or 3 ingredients regularly triggers cell mutations.

its collected by the same app that probably remote starts your car and unlocks the doors etc. Im sure its in the EULA, which puts you over a barrel. Want to use that remote start feature you paid for? Well we are forcing you to share your driving data for the privilege of using a feature you paid good money for already.

the article says the data is fed from the car to the app on the smartphone. So most likely they can tell based on whose smartphone is driving? I suppose it wont matter if you drive like shit and your wife drives like a saint. Its a blended rate most likely based on the percentage of time you drive (like shit) vs the other driving style. If 65% of the time the car is driven like shit, then it probably wont matter that 35% of the time a safe driver is behind the wheel.

Just because you agree doesnt mean its enforceable. Many judges have ruled that one cannot simply waive their rights away. You can waive your right to a jury trial and yet later change your mind I believe. Its just lawyers doing the typical lawyer bullying. But TBH, youre out at most a $90 device. Unless, of course, it is embedded into the tv. So not sure how a class action over a $90 device helps anyone but a lawyer. As far as the TV, only a few are actually made by roku, so you can still sue their manufacturers. FWIW you already signed this agreement with amazon a long time ago, so lump all those FireTV into the mix as well.
