I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I’ve been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn’t happen though and I’ve since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick’s and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.

I’ve played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There’s really nothing else quite like it.

I very intentionally received only an associate’s degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It’s worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs “require” a bachelor’s or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

In my experience, I’ve seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

I’ve been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

More than anything it’s just awareness.

My ‘smart’ LG washer/dryer plays a jaunty little tune when done. Even on max volume it’s difficult to hear. I miss my old dumb machines.

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it’s dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I’m guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.

So it’s the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don’t badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.

Great movie

I don’t think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it’s just a single card

Yeah it’s from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It’s just a blank area where normally there’d be an ad.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

You can have /r/technology and /r/tech and /r/technews etc…

It’s a problem that resolves itself. One community or the other will “win”.

And if not, whatever. On Reddit, my home city has two subreddits. The content between them is slightly different (different mod teams) and the comments on duplicate posts are different. I subscribed to both to see slightly different opinions and avoid echo chamber.
