I was in your same position until I realized updating ublock and updating the filter list arw two different tasks. The filter lists are in ublock settings and after updating those I’ve had no problems

At first I thought you were a clever advertisment for that game, but as it turns out searching “mom wax” does not garner any results about games at all, so if you’re not pulling our legs and they game actually exists could you post the full name? It sounds interesting

What you’re describing is a pump and dump scheme. In any market where there is low volume, either in terms of units or value, it is possible that a wealthy individual buys a large enough share of the available item to make the price jump up a bunch. Then when other people buy to get in on the next bitcoin/NFT/GME craze, often motivated by person A, that first person can then sell to the next wave.

What is weird about the power grid is that A) electricity has to be used at the time of purchase so you couldn’t resell it and B) there are often power plants specifically for spikes in demand (called peaker plants) that rely on those moments to jump in and produce to make their profit, keeping things under control. However if you’re the Texas grid, which is isolated from any other electric grid, you can just ignore obvious signs that more power is needed and everytime demand spikes you make a bunch of profit and super promise you’ll fix it for the next time

I apologize, I stand corrected. The export control law does exist, but asylees and refugees are in the allowed group. Thank you for the context

EDIT: see reply about why this isn’t true and I was wrong.

This is really stupid. The government puts all kinds of restrictions on SpaceX about having to have only US citizens work on rockets, which is their whole business, and is now suing them for only hiring US citizens. Don’t get me wrong, discrimination is wrong, but this is legally required descrimination from the same group mad about the discrimination

I like this thought because my personal experience is wearing regular perscription glasses and staring at a screen 10-14 hours every day with no eye strain or headaches. My sister loves and swears by the blue light filtering (but doesn’t wear glasses otherwise)
