We can't bailout lunch kids, what about my meth addiction debt? Nobody helped me. BOoTsTrApS!

Retraining. They even have a link in their own article. I will miss journalists who were literate and had time and reason to be.
12/20 behind the line, 4/11 2-pointers lol. Absolutely solid playable game if you reverse those for an average NBA player.
We're already at 1, which means it's time for 2. They're starting the the Columbia universities of the country but it'll be down to state and local levels after that. Companies of course will say and do nothing as the Spice must flow.
The graphic format doesn't do much for those looking to learn, if I don't already know the non-google icon or app this doesn't help. I understand the point of the post is to drive discussion but if the whole broader goal is to help people switch listing it out in text or labeling the icons at least would make it as useful as the other breakdowns we often see here that have lists by app/category are more useful.
Antarctica is a humpback whale, S.A. is a manatee, N.A. is a beaver, Nepal is a big damned clam...
Further; if there is anyone who ensured Trump's first win and enabled the second was the DNC undemocratically undermining Bernie's primary successes and putting her forward and despite the machinations and dishonesty of it, her wanting it so much she accepted it and marginalized Bernie and actual progressivism dooming the democratic party to further irrelevance and weakness when they could have moved left 8 years ago and won.
Fuck Hillary for thinking her winning was more important than the constituents of the party she's a member of. It's the essence of entitlement, elitism and antidemocraticism.
Mine said 42. I guess the only thing left I'm wondering is what was the question?
Every time he escalates you know you're on the right track.
Translation; "were out of ideas and gave been in a long time, better dump some money to us."
News outlets taking quotes from company PR/employees and including them alongside facts about reality. "Company x does something horrible, here is the data. Meanwhile, the CEO says it's inaccurate because bs reasonexcuse.". So much of corporate media is this, we've nearly lost the expectation a news outlet have any sense of responsibility outside of an easy quote from the paid company representative. Every single employee quote should come with footer "but of course this person does pay their mortgage based on saying whatever the companies needs it to to continue doing what benefits it the most so this is idiotically biased".
The google annual cost to have Google as default search on iPhone is north of 20b, hence the number in the article headline. They also pay lots to Mozilla and others.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Then they'd have to admit everything they denied, ignored and downplayed was completely wrong and they screwed the country they said they loved by voting for hate, voting for greed, and voting to destroy their country and elect a dictator. Don't hold your breath.
They'll admit it, tearfully when all is lost, when they're on their deathbed. They'll not admit it now when things could still change, they've got years of hate and insecurity and misinformation piped into their skulls blinding them to work through. Their hate for the "other" was greater than their love of country, which is the essence of how fascism takes root.
If they were actually strong and love their country they'd be going public and taking it on the chin in progressive media and with their representatives and protesting. But they already took the bait that only bad guys protest, so they can't even do that. Imagine being so fucking thick you say that "antifascists" are the bad guys group...what the actual hell do they think that makes them?
I had to call support for new dishwasher because it wasn't in the manual. I posted the tips and model online since the manufacturer left them out of the user manual...
Talk about poor interviewing. Kept cutting him off, Bernie I'm sure used to it but if you want someone to answer your questions, let them answer it how they want, not how you want to frame it.
While allowing the right to direct the narrative that tiny, poor individuals not paying taxes anymore is the cause of unbalanced budgets rather than military waste, medical murder, and corporations and the ultra wealthy paying close to no taxes while having all the money.
Right, but that's the whole catch-22; being able to go somewhere to get what you need without learning a new site, assessing rules, product, credibility, learning their interface, etc. is part of the value Amazon provides(and I despise Bezos and Amazon). You wouldn't "go directly to the supplier" for every purchase given time and mechanics above, so at some point you go to a bigger name that will do some of the legwork of aggregating suppliers into a useful, repeatable interface. By the time and "independent, new, direct purchased place gets big enough to be useful to many people you will then say it's "just open of the big retailers/etailers”.
In 2025 we're probably well into a cohort that never had to learn how to search the internet in earnest and probably well on our way back to people who may visit 1-3 retailers before purchasing online. We're basically back to "you've got mail" days when most people didn't know the difference between AOL's platform and an Internet browser and just took what was presented to them without any effort on their part. Human nature to a degree with path of least resistance I guess.
The feature no one asked for in Outlook chapter 1. "Relevant" section out right at the top of the chronological list in case you didn't want to immediately see the keywords you searched for in descending order but instead preferred completely unrelated attachments from Janice in Finance.

Deschutes County commissioners voted 2-1 to end a DEI committee’s work following a 20 minute discussion.
Super brave Caucasian commissioners decide committee they do not directly benefit from does not have a purpose, in a wise and comprehensive evaluation showing exactly who is a member of their community worth investing in.
Program had no funding and cost nothing other than ~4 hours of each program member’s time related to the program each month.
Please keep this in mind when thinking about where you will travel, vacation, live and do business with in Oregon. If you'd like to share your thoughts with the county commissioners: board@deschutes.org

Hi, I'm in the US and non-car safety is appalling. I live in a semi-urban area and get nearly hit, obstructed or aggressively cut off at crosswalks or driveways nearly every single time I run, which is every other day.
Rather than try to make the case with stats showing no local enforcement of pedestrian code, I've decided for my and likely my future lawyers sale I should just record and montage it. When I'm inevitably disabled or killed by one of these selfish dumbasses, at least it will make for simple settlements, and prosecutions .
I'm in the market for a headmounted/head strap camera, preferably with a microphone option. I googled a bit and there are some go-pro-ish options but they all seem pretty big and heavy, made for mountain biking or swimming, etc. anyone have ideas or links for a lighter option? Don't need 4k and 400gb of storage, just enough for an hour or video and audio at reasonable resolution.
TIA
It steadily has dropped for a year or more and I can't take it anymore. If I replace will they fix? I pulled it off and even with the water off there is still water coming out of the pipe at a slow, slow drip pace. Is it the water shut off that needs help? Would of course prefer the cheaper fix but if a new head isn't going to stop the leak it'd be good to know.
TIA

Played out Monster Mayhem card game within a month or so. Bought Castle Panic and was a great fantasy intro board game, simple to learn with just enough strategy to keep it interesting for older folks but it's about run its course.
Looking for suggestions 2-3 can play together mix of youth and adults, ideally collaboratively. Basic-level RPG or strategy fantasy/mystery/adventure, small group of 3 max so not really a "DM" situation type game, all would be players.
TIA
Local union leaders in Seattle said 64% of members voted against accepting the proposal.
Screw your workers for 30+ years, move your production, make them embarrassed with your company name by eliminating engineering excellence and outsourcing quality to lowest bidder, withhold raises for a decade, remove a real retirement plan and see what happens.
Good for them.
I received several texts today on my personal phone number addressed to a minor child in my household for whom I provide health insurance from Kaiser.
- I opted out of Kaiser text message communications. They don't respect it because Marketing?
- The messages are addressing a minor child, yet sent to me, the adult. Kaiser would know their age. If they're young, directly texting them is a violation of parental consent. If they're a dependent there could be all kinds of privacy concerns for say a teen who maybe doesn't want their parents to be involved in such conversations.
- I went to Kaiser's website to make a complaint. They don't provide an e-mail contact so you have to use a web submission form. Attachments (e.g. screenshots) aren't allowed. I copied in the text of the text messages after noting my concerns above and tried to submit. The web form said "unsupported characters", which I then spent 30 minutes trying to guess which of the characters from the texts they sent me might be unsupported by their website.
- I decided to call their web support to find out which characters were unsupported, I'm sure I wasn't the first person to have the issue. They asked for personal identifying information that isn't necessary to provide website support, spent 5 minutes locating my account, and then told me they'd have to transfer me to a different region as they don't support my region.
- They transferred me and I received an audio notice that the region was experiencing technical difficulties and the call disconnected.
- I went back to the web form to open a complaint about their web form and submitted it suggesting they identify which characters are not permitted. The form also is about 3 lines of text high but accepts 1,000 characters which makes it very difficult to read as the web user (I'm sure a dark pattern to reduce form submission)
- I called support again to try to reengage them to find out if they could identify the characters so I could submit the ticket myself. I got a different agent and had to tell them my original complaint and then what had just happened. They said they didn't know which characters were permissible, that my regions support shouldn't be down as they had no alerts, and wouldn't be able to find out which characters the form could use, despite being web support. They said they could take my complaint over the phone.
- I asked what else they needed to make the complaint. The woman said just a minute and pulled up a form after talking to a colleague and asked me to start from the beginning to make my compliant. I hung up.
- I went back on the website, typed out the entirety of the text messages I had received, my concern and the form allowed me to submit. The text messages must have had a hidden character or space that wasn't visible to me when copying/pasting.
Now I wait to hear back on my two complaints. All so that, after furiously and competently struggling against the machine, I get back to a place where maybe if I'm lucky they will respect my communication preferences, not contact my child without my permission, potentially fix their shit website, which would leave me maybe about as good off as I was before I was aware of these issues.
I feel like Calvin at the bottom of the big snowball hill he and Hobbes used, only in the modern US it's a shit snowball and it's full of companies who are technologically incompetent and aren't incentivized to follow even the laws they likely helped shaped through lobbying. The above issue is hardly even bad compared to other situations I or others have been through, it's the routiniety of it that is so dystopian.
------- Edit: 10. IT support responded to my ticket tonight. They didn't read the complaint and provided boilerplate AI template responses on how to submit a ticket when logged in as a customer.They also provided instructions on how to take a screenshot and asked me to respond to their e-mail and attach it so they could review. I responded telling them I didn't need instructions on how to take a screenshot or how to submit a message, that was included in my ticket which they didn't read--I needed a functional communication system, and reviewing the above points and then attached screenshots. I received an automated response almost instantly from their system that I had responded to a ticket that had already been closed and that Kaiser hoped they had resolved the issue to my satisfaction. No ability to re-open the ticket, no contact e-mail or phone number to continue to try to resolve the issue.

If anyone else uses this emulator and (unfortunately) Windows, are you seeing turbo run throughs when loading ROMS? This updates were installed yesterday and they're the only thing I can think of unless the rom speed can be controlled elsewhere in the system I'm not seeing:
2024-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5044285)
2024-10 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5044033)
Cheers. --------------- edit - fixed with tip below (- key slows down emulation)
Vote Yes! on Measure 118 to get yearly rebates of $1,600 for yourself and every Oregonian, kids included. A four person household will get over $6,400 every year. Paid for by making giant corporations pay their fair share.
I posted about this 3 months ago and it was $750--glad to see the measure is going for it. The $1,600 is per person, not household. Minors count.
Large corps ($25m in revenue minimum) pay.

There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I'm trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.
