Nothing compared to a single commercial fishing boat
Democrats are the big tent party. The more the republicans shift to the far right, the more the tent expands to pick up the ones that stayed behind.
The far right movement will only shift the Democratic Party to the right to pick up the stragglers, not make it any more left.
The joke is that this is the state of American TV and Internet.
Sure some Cable ISPs let you bring your own modem, and Verizon Fios used to let you provision the Ethernet handoff of the ONT to go direct into your own router (if you chat up the install tech and are able to test connectivity with them there)…but the majority of users rent their modems and cable boxes.
Fun fact…both the death of wagons and the birth of CUVs, in the US, are due to CAFE.
Station wagons drag down the fleet average MPG for passenger cars. Crossovers, though, benefit the fleet average MPG for trucks. Even though they are just tall unibody vehicles.
IMO, that should be the delineation for CAFE (unibody vs. body-on-frame), instead of wheelbase.
Have a T440p that I should do something with.
Pretty much stopped using it after I found a T470s at a flea market for $100. Had 2x4GB SODIMMS and a 128GB NVMe. Bought a 16GB SODIMM (now have 20) and a 1TB NVMe for another $67.
The display is pretty shot on the 440 but I could totally have it do stuff headless.
Remember when you had to rent your phone from the phone company?
Imagine if service providers still did that now, and you’d have to rent a special box from the internet company to access the internet…or one from the TV company to watch shows and movies. What a world.
Honestly I feel like a dying breed among my middle-class millennial dad-friends.
I’m like the only person who changes their own oil. All the rest of them just drive electric cars.
Dude, how long have you been online if wikifeet is what you think puts us over the edge of deserving internet?
You could honesty find at least 300 less-popular fetishes in under an hour without even getting into the dark web.
We are at the point now that we could invent Artificial Intelligence and develop it to a point that it could write the final GoT booK faster than GRRM, and better than HBO.
New guy botching a production instance, for a developer…isn’t your problem.
Sorry but that’s on them. You shouldn’t be able to deploy bad code to prod. Whoever approved the MR fucked up and you caught the blame. You’re better off without them.
Infra guys like me (networking) yeah, sure, because our test environment happens to also be our prod environment.
30 kids at $950/mo is $28,500.
Each FTE, at $15/hr minimum wage, is $2400. But employees cost more than just their wage, between taxes, Medicare, benefits, etc. National average is 1.25 - 1.4 times their wage. Let’s call it 1.3. Each FTE is now $3120.
Then staffing ratios. Childcare.gov recommends, for 4 year olds, no less than 1:8 and no more than 16 students in a class. So you’ve got at least 4 teachers, minimum, for your 30 students.
Payroll for teachers alone is $12,480. And you need someone to run the books and keep the lights on. Even if that person (who may even be the owner) is paid $15/hr, and can cover for a teacher in a pinch when there’s sick/personal time, now you’re at $15,600 in payroll.
You’ve got $12,900 left in monthly budget. Haven’t paid for rent (in a pretty large, properly zoned place), or insurance (I imagine that’s a costly industry to insure)…or toys, or books, or classroom materials, or hygiene supplies, or electricity, or heat.
And I should hope that whoever is running this, who may even be the manager/emergency teacher, is doing so for more than they could earn at McDonalds. Especially given that that person probably has a college degree, is a trained first-responder, and has to deal with a lot of shit as part of their job, both literally and figuratively.
Staffing ratio for toddlers is double that by the way. 13-35 months, ratio 1:4 and no more than 8 in a group (as recommended by childcare.gov). So if we’re talking 30 two year olds, we’re talking eight teachers, at 15/hr, payroll is almost all of tuition.
How do you make your seltzer? Soda stream or some other contraption?
Do you use “apple juice” or do you like…make ice cubes out of a can of concentrate and throw a cube into a homemade bottle of seltzer?
Dude I love seltzer. Especially fruit-flavored seltzer…but club soda is pretty good too. I don’t really like unflavored seltzer though, but it depends on a lot…the brand, the bottle, whether or not there’s a straw…a lot of variance in the bubbles.
Apple is the platform of standardization (within their walled garden) though. And as much as that shits on consumer choice, it does make for as consistent an experience as possible. That’s valuable for a lot of people but especially developers.
If I were Apple, and I wanted to position the iPhone to compete with something like Nintendo Switch, I would:
- Form an exclusive partnership with Sony or Microsoft to officially support their controller.
- Have my engineers work directly with that partner to make their cloud gaming and console streaming apps absolutely top notch. Talking “Apple native” feel and functionality.
- Sell first-party kickstand cases or popsockets. MagSafe, preferably.
- Sell official first-party controller brackets for holding the phone. Bonus, these are “magic” like the keyboard or the pro monitor mount.
- Start a licensing deal with 8bitdo for an official co-branded controller.
- Start a series of exclusive games featuring a brand mascot character (original or adopt a forgotten one, like Bonk or something idgaf)
Edit, one more very important thing: Allow retroarch in the App Store and allow for roms to be airdropped and for the app to run a restricted SMB server (drop into a specific directory and user approves connections)
Punctuation marks have to be placed in checked bags. Since she sent this from the cabin, she wasn’t able to get hers to place into the original message.
Forgot where I was for a second and thought you were talking about the author of The Hunger Games.
I yield the rest of my thyme.

When square was solidly in bed with Sony, MS made Fable.
Nowadays the only system thats worth it for exclusives is Nintendo, IMO. And that’s almost entirely for first-party games.
