AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

Fuck me…. Missed that.

And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.

Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.

Kindle Unlimited is the big thing that keeps my wife on her Kindle. She goes through books like candy and it’s made it seriously economical without the trouble of loading it via her computer.

Honestly that’s why I just stick with local site auth and a password manager. 1) it lets me remember things via my manager and 2) if it’s compromised, they’ll only have access to that site and not other ones I’ve used to log in with.

And yet people are bitching because Windows 10 is getting cut off after 10 years of support. Raise it to 15 and people will just bitch at the 15 year mark.

They’re salivating at the chance to reduce head count and still make money. Employees are by far the largest cost for any company. They hate paying it out when it could be for them.

Defederation by nature will help that. On Reddit if the admins didn’t want “RandomTopic” they could ban it or lock it and other variants. On Lemmy you always go to another instance and make it there and the admins of the original instance can pound sand.

Would baptisms be called “golden showers”?

“Candidate never developed object permanence…”

I thought it was supposed to be rote memorization though. When you were asked “what’s 5x12?” Did you go through 12 iterations to arrive at the answer?

And yet later people fawned over NFTs

Meant to reply to him, not you. You basically said something similar to me.

Yeah but the US isn’t all that matters. For reference VW group is the largest automaker in the world, so the comment “no one is buying their cars” is very short sighted.

Sadly this is (or used to be) valid in PHP and it made for some debugging “fun”.

The first Mission Impossible was good but that was it for me.

Look, just because your one of the people who understands it, doesn’t mean their one of the ones who do.

All it will ultimately do is create a talent split. Companies willing to embrace WFH will be able to snap up talent and companies forcing RTO will start to flounder over time.

Followed by your own words of “oh shit, oh shit” when there’s also an incoming Zerg rush at the same time
