Not sure if you have stayed in US hotels lately, now they don't clean (except between people, COVID really took care of that) and more and more hotels are adding 'Destination Fees' that are supposed to provide benefits but don't. Oh, we charge you an extra $40 a night, and here is a free voucher for $15 in food from our cafe where prices are 5x.

The capitalism greed speed run lately is exhausting.

Thats the model Walmart is already moving to. It works well for Amazon, more and more retailers are going to consider it.

The science on it shows they are effectively useless. What they do is put messaging out that may have long term changes. But quick changes? They typically are worse for messaging. Know what works even better? Voting and participation in government.

Basically all modern vehicles unfortunately.

LOL 30's is not older woman. Girl get help. Like honestly. Everyone here is telling you that you aren't normal and you are either lying to yourself or delusional (oh, it's both).

I mean why are birth rates always the highest in the poorest regions? Makes you think that money likely has little to do with reproductive rates, and more along the lines of women gaining education and having access to family planning methods.

Everytime you bring it up, you get a whole lot of people with gasoline powered cars getting very angry. Sure batteries are not 'perfect', but they are a whole lot better in almost every way compared to gasoline powered vehicles.

Yeah, it's becoming more common as the carrier ticks are able to expand due to climate change and more people are outdoors. There isn't a good solution/treatment yet either, and it effects people differently. For some it's a 3 month allergy, for many, it's permanent.

Correct, so far it seems the lettuce is from Mexico, and it's not the first time this has happened (outbreaks during the spring and summer are pretty common, regardless of administration).

So funny meme I guess, but is is pretty shitty when you think about it.

Hire them back at a lower pay none the less. People will and are desperate for work, so it won't be difficult.

For me, it's been super helpful to write personalized things quickly that I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. Are these things I plan on maintaining for decades? Hell no. But there is no current solution, this isn't a commercial product, and I always have the code in case I want to make adjustments in the future.

Mint works pretty darn well. It's still using t-mobile towers, but is a whole lot cheaper.

Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?

Would be great if it was just the AI industry, but it's simply expanding what tech is subject to tariffs, so its the people that pay the price. Couldn't afford that RAM already, so I guess it doesn't matter right?

Except in a way it is old vs young. The old will need more and more care, and that ends up coming from the youth. The same youth that were promised a future that doesn't exist, and now have little desire to give giving what they cannot afford. Many countries are going to have to have a real reckoning with aging populations, and few have even started the conversation.

I have never seen a Framework in the wild, however I applaud their approach, but even when taking repair costs in consideration, Frameworks are more expensive than simply upgrading to a newer laptop and using the old laptop for some other purpose. I can't imagine with the rampocalypse that they easily survive, but I hope they do, I wish other manufacturers would make repair a higher priority.

JellyFin + your own media = ad free streaming. I detest ads and general streaming services. Whenever you want to talk about a show, you have to preface it with 'what streaming service is it on'?

Uber certainly would. Just sell the data and make profit. Or realistically, just start scanning for bluetooth and wifi mac addresses, and upload that with GPS, which is what Flock is planning on doing, now you just tie it to a one time scanned license plate. Isn't technology grand? Ugh.

Yeah, would love to see more of a torrent type website that simply hosts torrent files to models.

Yeah, I was going to say the advice in the meme in kind of dumb. I can order the same product on Amazon or the website of the product, but on Amazon returns are super easy, shipping is overnight, and I am not dealing with some weird 3rd party payment system.

Now if the product is made locally at a small business, and is similarly priced, then absolutely, that's my preferred way to do things.
