Naturally, a guy who wants to extract monopoly rents to grow his vast hoard of capital believes the masses need to stop owning anything and rent everything. Duh.

You need to work on your reading comprehension and learn how to think critically. What that article discusses is a tactic known as ratfucking. And it also says it worked because the MAGA loonies they supported in primaries (because theyâ(TM)d be easier candidates to win against in the general election) won their primaries and lost or were losing the general election.

From the article:

So, no, Democrats arenâ(TM)t helping MAGA retards win. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I imagine so. Itâ(TM)ll probably take place around the same time we get one frigging thread without Trump sycophants.

I never had a C64 but I still have my original Atari 1200XL, the cassette drive, an external 5.25â floppy drive, and a 32â CRT to plug it into. I even have my original BASIC cartridge and a copy of âoeMapping the Atariâ that Iâ(TM)ve been meaning to show off to my kids (now adults) for 30-ish years. I need to see if I can find original cartridges for JumpMan Jr and other games and original (still readable) diskettes of old Infocom games & one chess derivative game I used to play called Archon. That would be fun.

The conpany I work for had an approved merit increase of an average of 3.5% across ~1500 employees last year and 2.5% this year. Most people taking other jobs are looking at > 10% bumps. I recently interviewed for a job doing the same thing I do now but at a different company that is offering 30% more than I currently make. Know your worth people.

The cost of processing any of these transactions infinitesimally small. If they charge 2% of all transactions over 2000 rupees and let's just say there are a billion transactions per month over that limit (a small percentage of the total transactions processed) and they average 3000 rupees, they are making 60 billion rupees per month (nearly 700 million USD/mo). They're doing OK.

No, the next step is fares based on weight. You pay for the cost of the fuel it takes to fly you from point A to point B, plus a healthy margin.

It's already annoying to buy a lot of items online only to get the wrong item or something entirely unlike its description. Clothing is especially this way. But the more things online are produced by AI, the more people will realize the only way to have real interactions is face to face. I wouldn't be surprised if malls make a bit of a recovery because people will drop online activity once they realize it's 99% AI and they will crave in person socialization once more.

Alt+Space M is critical for moving apps that don't play nicely with changing monitor setups.

Also, I'm surprised they don't just allow it to listen in on the computer's Mic 24/7 for a wake word/phrase like "Hey, Clippy..."

Shortage?! Three movies and two series PER YEAR is too much! One movie a year maybe a shortage. Two would be plenty. But FFS, everyone I know is already burnt out on superhero movies. I would maybe be interested in one a year but more than that and Iâ(TM)m noping right out.

Of course. That's why live performances by people who can actually sing are generally way better than auto-tuned studio recordings. It's also why things like microtonality are played with in a lot of music.

We had a single POTS line for our alarm system that AT&T went from charging us $40/mo to over $1400/mo in a matter of two years until we convinced our alarm company to switch the alarm system to cellular. Crazy.

Yeah, that was a kinda dumb statement by OP. They were objectively good movies. Not perfect, but none ever are. They just got beat by better movies or ones that the voters in the academy liked more. Who cares who wins the awards? I enjoy the spectacle for its entertainment value. And, frankly, if Killers of the Flower Moon hadn't been nominated, I probably never would've watched it because I'm not a Scorsese fan, and then I would not know about the Osage or their history. Same with Rustin...probably never would've watched it, but it was very good and the lead actor was great.

Like it or not, nominations generally happen for above average films with above average acting, directing, etc. Of course, every now and then they'll thrown in a Top Gun - Maverick, which had no business being nominated even if it was entertaining. It was schlock and although I quite enjoyed it, it was 99% due to nostalgia.
