If any of us were fun at parties, we wouldn't be on Slashdot.

To be fair, Babylon 5 did that once in a while too. JMS said that his job wasn't to answer questions, it was to start bar fights. Believers is the prime example, though it's probably one of the least liked episodes of the entire show.

You can. Go to Menu -> Feeds and you'll get only posts from friends, groups you're in, and people/pages you follow, sorted chronologically with the newest posts first.

If you own a car that's valued at $50,000 after the year you buy it, you can easily afford $500 in tax.

Do any carriers still do that? I haven't checked AT&T or Verizon, but with T-Mobile you can buy a phone from them and they just add the price to your bill over 24 months.

I think T-Mobile has only done it that way for at least a decade. I know that when I bought my Nokia N900 15+ years ago, I switched to T-Mobile because they were already giving a $20/month discount if you already owned a phone.

This is a civil case, not a criminal case, so the burden of proof is only preponderance of the evidence (A very oversimplified explanation: in a criminal case, if the jury says "I don't know", the defendant wins, but in a civil case, the jury can't say "I don't know", they must pick a winner). If Meta tells the judge and jury that they have no idea how the decision of who to lay off was made, it's going to be very easy for the plaintiffs to find one bit of evidence or explanation that will tip the jury in their favor.

Not at all. If they use a metric of "Worked at least X hours in the past 12 months", and a person worked fewer than X hours because they were on parental leave, firing them would not be a "side effect of performance", it would be a direct violation of their legal protection.

Hahaha

Oh, you were serious. Let me laugh harder.

I think you might have misunderstood the idea. Usually when someone talks about adding a generator, they mean adding one that charges the battery, with everything in the drive train being a normal EV system.

Half of advertising money is wasted. The trouble is figuring out which half.

Sure, I'm not disagreeing with that. I just meant that at least some of the cards have an option that's less scammy than the list of random reward crap.

Who here is acting surprised?

If I remember correctly, merchants could always give a discount for paying in cash, but they couldn't charge extra for paying with a card. They may be effectively the same thing, but what the credit card companies didn't want was people being unhappy that they were being charged more than the advertised price. Obviously the credit card companies did it for their own benefit, but it was also good for the customers.

The rewards program for my credit union's credit card has a bunch of that random reward crap, but they also have a nice "Just give me 1% in cash" option. Whenever I've skimmed the list of random crap, the cost in reward points was almost always higher than if I took the 1% cash and just bought the item in a store.

Spectacle does all of that. It's the built-in screenshot tool for KDE.
