The OEM wireless XBOX controllers can use AAbatteries if you want. Actually, from the factory it comes only with thr AA batteries, and you have to buy the rechargeable situation. There are also battery packs that stay in the controller whrre you plug into the controller, but those arenâ(TM)t all there is. Personally, I got third party Lithium Ion batteries with a charger that works just fine. I have a couple batteries in the charger to swap out when the ones in the controller are low. If a battery dies, I can always get new ones.

Thatâ(TM)s closer to the truth. They hadnâ(TM)t prepared for a sudden surge in trading activity. Federal regulations state they have to have a certain amount of cash on hand above trading volume. There is a 3 day settlement period to transfer funds from stock trades. Technically, when they let you trade right away, they are giving you an advance on money they donâ(TM)t physically have yet, and if money could settle more quickly (such as with crypto), it wouldnâ(TM)t have been an issue. Anywho, they would have run afoul of the regulations if they hadnâ(TM)t hit the brakes. They ended up having to borrow money in a panic just to cover outstanding trades before they settled. RH wasnâ(TM)t the only broker that rescted the same way. I think most of them did the same thing, for the same reason. It was kind of an unexpected event. It shows how the way the current system is run (like requiring 3 days to settle stock transactions), is starting to become outdated enough to cause risks in and of itself. Not to say RH is perfect in every way, but people get really carried away and are misinformed of what happened.

The first thought I had was actually their fleet of corporate shuttle drivers (They have busses, vans, SUVs and cars that shuttle employees around). I was imagining that they were having an issue with the Microsoft shuttle drivers road raging or something. lol

That is not what heâ(TM)s doing at all. In legal cannabis markets, there has been a racial disparity amongst cannabis BUSINESSES OWNERS. In some ways, because of the war on drugs and how it disproportionately targets black people for prosecution, there are some from the old days that have a hard time getting resources to start a business in the new legal markets if they have a criminal record (and all of the economic problems that go along with it) There is less (but not zero) chance of white weed growers from âthe old daysâ(TM) having a criminal record, and letâ(TM)s face it⦠the legal markets need people who know what the hell they are doing. So what tends to happen when markets legalize weed, is you get a racial gentrification of the industry, trending towards white upper class or agrobusiness style outfits. This -is- a thing, and ai have heard plenty of black people who are quite frustrated with it. Yes, people of all walks of life use cannabis. Any walk into a legal cannabis shop and you can see that plain as day, but the way the war on drugs has always been conducted, targets some groups more than others. Things like this seek to push back against the wrongs under the prohibition market from becoming entrenched in the always growing legal market. I canâ(TM)t find anything wrong with that. Supporting black business owners is a bad thing?

⦠and just imagine what a âdata breachâ(TM) of that information would entail.

Correction: Uber and Lyft canâ(TM)t deactivate someone for turning down unprofitable rides. They can if someone cancels too many rides, but not if they turn down ride requests. Doing so would mean they are acting as an employer. This has been a thing since very early in the gig economy. What they -can- do is offer incentives for keeping an acceptance rate over a certain level. Now, canceling rides is considered breaking an accepted contract, which is why they can deactivate for it, but there is an allowable threshold for that (for obvious reasons, like safety concerns, no-shows, problems with traffic, no legal place to pick up the passenger, car trouble and so forth).

He is 93, and she is 63. They wonâ(TM)t be having kids. Women go through menopause by that point.

Exactly. IMO the âcurrencyâ(TM) angle was always a bit more utopian and far-fetched than what weâ(TM)re actually likely to see the tech used for in widespread use. Web3, assets, backends for bank transfers/settlements (instead of the ancient slow 20th century BS they currently use), distribution/sales for media content, automatic enforcement of contracts, and all sorts of stuff. The naysayers just canâ(TM)t get past the word âcurrencyâ(TM). That is just the tip of the iceberg. They will still be screaming âponzi schemeâ(TM) when the tech is being used behind the scenes by financial institution and technology companies without them even realizing it.

You obviously donâ(TM)t live in the Seattle area. $1,000 would get you a slumlord hovel multiple hours away from any decent job market, and possibly in anplace filled with dirty drug needles, drive-by shootings, rampant robberies, and other fun stuff. Itâ(TM)s so bad some people have to commute over mountain passes to get a break on rents, and even those areas are getting gentrified. These are families dealing with this, not âkids looking to live in the hip side of townâ(TM). That sort of situation would be very nice.

ummm⦠Yes, Americans do have the right to bear arms. What are you talking about? Aside from some common sense stuff like background checks (etc), the government is not going to go around confiscating guns. Not gonna happen. Even Democrats are packing (though maybe not also fetishizing the things).
