It's doubly a pain to see the same ones when binge watching.
Those are absolutely the worst. Watching the same preview the second time is almost as bad as when I pull out a years old DVD and have* to sit through ancient trailers before I can start watching the movie. By the third time I see the same preview the same day, it's worse.
*: or use a non-compliant DVD player that allows skipping this shit. Either/or.
Sure. But I think a response to that is to accept what you have to and then keep going. If you take a lowball wage just to make the rent, don't sit there for years waiting for things to magically get better. Use that new position as your fallback, and keep looking, because now you're not in the position where you're forced to say yes.
One of the golden rules of negotiation is..the first party to give a solid number is the loser.
People say this all the time. What nobody ever says is how to not be the first party to name a number. That would be a useful tip for someone to include here, if anyone has it.
Congratulations, you just demonstrated the irrationality he was discussing.
He pointed out that giving the $10 will *SAVE* you $1. That's a net *gain* of $1, not a net loss of *anything*. Something that saves you money costs you *less* than the alternative, not *more*.
He didn't say "net" and "save" is only a useful word when there is a net loss. Words mean things. If you're saying that giving someone $10 means I get $11 in return later, then that's a 10% gain, and worth something. Giving someone $10 so that I can save $1 is ludicrous and an obvious net loss.
The main problem with the basic income is that it pretends that tax payers are completely rational. Even if you lay out the argument in plain terms that explains how giving someone else $10 will in the end save them $1 from what they are spending now, they will balk at the idea.
Sounds rational to me. That's a net loss of $9. Not much, but no one really needs just $10. Assuming ratios scale with absolutes, giving $10,000 would be a net loss of $9,000.
I think I like the jumper on the system board method a lot better than juggling keys. Reasons why left as an exercise.
I like the extra security of forcing someone to open the (physically locked?) machine as much as the next guy, but weigh that against the nuisance of having to do it yourself on all the Macs you own if you need to flash their EFIs for some reason. If they're iMacs, the front glass is taped to the case, and you'll need certified Apple(TM) brand replacement double sided tape to seal it back up again since the tape is one-use. Opening just one iMac is a thirty minute job if you know what you're doing.
That game got Tron much better than the 2nd movie did. Having the "grid" be this walled garden didnt explore how the whole world is interconnected now. It was a terribly missed opportunity.
To add insult to injury, the game is a Disney property. Disney owns the plot of Tron 2.0 that they ignored in favor of flavorless eye candy.

The game's plot includes features like the internet, making the Recognizers into network packets (train cars) for some nice nostalgia, bits*, trying to survive in a PDA with limited RAM, email scripts being corrupted into virus spewing zombies, and an evil mega-corp planning to use the digitization tech to digitize their own paramilitary operatives into the grid so that they can literally brute force attack their enemies' computers from the inside.
*to me, the biggest example that the TRON Legacy writers were not TRON fans is that CLU2's yes-man wasn't a bit. A bit that just says yes, reluctantly says no, is destroyed, and another bit takes it place to say "yes" would satisfy nostalgia, show us CLU2's personality, and provide a little color to an otherwise bland movie.
The real shock here is all that prime real estate has been just thrown away when it could have been used to build houses to sell to suckers who then sue the airport for being loud and ruining their enjoyment of their home.
Why did Dice buy Slashdot?
So they could suppress discussions about their own scandals!
SHAME ON YOU DICE!
To be fair, the filezilla project opted to use the adware/malware. The other "abandoned" projects, not so much.
