sitting on it’s morals

Assuming that’s not a typo, the phrase is “sitting on its laurels”.

Yeah. That used to be the case in the US, but it’s illegal now.

I mean, I buy stuff off eBay a lot, and it’s often from small mom-and-pop shops. I needed new ribbon for my typewriter recently and ended up getting it from a store that just sells ink ribbons. They have an off-eBay presence too.

I had to boot my Windows 10 partition up yesterday. It made me click through fucking six ads for Microsoft 365 and win11 and then said “you’re done!” with a little cartoon of an athlete with a trophy as if just booting the OS was a challenge that I overcame.

GimPhotoshop.

Obligatory:

What game do you play that needs 10 dice?

New job doesn’t offer health insurance, so that’s the premium. However, I did manage to negotiate that they bump my offer to cover half of it, and the other half I can pay tax-free. So that’s something.

Plus I pay on credit card, so I get points.

Got laid off that job and now paying out of pocket for a much better plan and I’ve never been happier.

Just a cool $1800/mo.

How about when the website explicitly says your subscription covers Stranger Things, but you watch Stranger Things, and they then bill you $80.

Then you follow the steps to dispute it on their website. And they say they didn’t make any mistakes. Then you do the follow-up appeal via snail-mail and they say that there’s still nothing wrong.

Not just investing. They’re literally offering to buy any unused compute from these companies. So if they can’t sell the processing power NVidia chips provide, NVidia will pay them for it.

I think the best they can do is press a button that says they’ve “become biased” and will connect you to another operator. My friend got them to do that once.

That also wasn’t a launch feature. If I remember correctly, they opened up the FPGA to 3rd party developers and like the same day there were a bunch of console cores already ported over by 3rd parties. On official channels, I think they can safely say they don’t condone the practice. I suspect something similar will happen with the 3D.

If it’s anything like the Analogue Pocket, it has save states built in, so you don’t really need to save anything to the cart.

We had a deaf school in our high school, so one of the payphones had a keyboard and an operator would read your messages to the other party. My friend used to use it to call his friend and see how many dirty words he could get the operator to say.

Bubba is also the name often given to the apocraphyl man who rapes you in prison.
