I know what I did

Wages basically stopped rising (compared to asset prices) a couple of decades or so ago

Funny that people without any more money, aren't able to buy as much stuff now it's more expensive

This tracks

Canada was on my list of places I might move to after this job, but I'm not gonna choose to live next to crazy

"good morning, I'm about to destroy the backend" is exactly the energy I'd welcome from a colleague frankly.

I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months

I'm in the process of switching to these since Tile chose violence

No complaints so far, though Google's find my network is still nowhere near as extensive as Apple's due to them dragging their feet with this for so long.

Though ultimately I hope someone like the EU steps in and forces everyone to make their networks interoperable

It's probably an intentional or unintentional reference to this

Nah I'd say it was around 2014/5 everyone started to lose their minds, the pandemic was just a catalyst.

First decade or so of adult swim is still peerless IMO

That's not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn't make sure everything downloads in a single night.

And even then, that's not a "do all it right now" button

Now it would be nice if they could add a download all updates button (if only for Steamdeck)

Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I'm going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

Yeah I've personally never got the appeal

I think it's that it basically has a grip on small economy

It's a chat app yes, but it's also Amazon, it's also a payment provider, not just online either, you pay in shops with a WeChat QR code, I think if you're going to a gig, your tickets are on WeChat

It's basically all encompassing.

WeChat I guess

Something geared towards finding out what they do in their free time. Generally a quick way to find stuff in common

Imagine being the kind of ghoul that thinks if people need assistance, that assistance should be the absolute bottom of the barrel lest someone who didn't need the assistance chose to not spend the money they have the freedom to decide how to spend.

Life isn't zero sum.

If you want fancier mustard and you're not on food stamps, just spend one of the extra dollars you must have to cause that. It's not gonna run out

Edit: typo

Oh that's interesting, you've got me curious. I looked into it and some other company has already established a similar system involving "chef hat" ratings apparently. I guess maybe they didn't want to bother competing with it.

Apparently Michelin seems to focus on Europe, the Americas and South East Asia. Africa and the rest of Asia seem to be left out, though they seem to be expanding every year (the Philippines got their own guide this year for the first time apparently), so I guess it's probably just a matter of time before other places are covered.

A fiver says OOP has never left their suburb

I saw an article about a cleaning robot that can climb stairs that's just come out, it's a quadruped thing.

Aren't these all chiffchaffs?

Maybe bottom middle and top right are something else

You're overthinking it, digital IDs are being pushed for surveillance reasons.

People bartered and exchanged goods long before the concept of money existed. Nearly everyone would just revert to that over violence.

A government can only abolish its own cash. If people really want to use cash, they'll just swap to another country's currency. See all the countries in the world where locals accept the dollar because it's more reliable than their local currency
