I know it's not a like for like comparison, but the Pixel 9 Pro that launched this month has 16gb of RAM.

Google Maps already provides this, and it's pretty handy.

Specific to Germany, but when a second cashier opens up, it's a first come first serve rush for it, rather than letting the person next inline at the original cashier take the first spot in the new one.

Damn you got a lucky mouse

I used to work at Starbucks (almost a decade ago now), but at the time, the motto was "just say yes" to any customer requests. We also had free drink cards that you could give out to deesclate any issue. So I would say any time you're even the slightest bit unhappy, bring it up, and you should at least have your problem solved, if not compensated for a free drink next time.

We also had customer satisfaction surveys that would print on reciepts, where filling one out would get the customer a free drink. We always kept them for customers that were happier to try and rig the odds in our favour of a higher rating, but also if a customer asked for one, I would give it if I had it. You could always ask the cashier if they have any of those as well.

Again, not sure how much either of those things have changed in the past 10 years, and I'm not sure how regional it was (this was in Canada at a corporately run store), but maybe worth a try.

Also I love these types of threads -- great topic to post.

Sounds like the advice you'd get in the first three comments asking a question on Reddit.

Next you're going to tell me to stop drinking raw rat milk?

Knitting. Always see people do it on the subway or watching tv without paying attention or trying. Spent a few hours trying to learn once and couldn't do it.

And scapegoating

I've read that Steam is accepting refunds for GTAV - I'd recommend anyone who bought it there refund it.

Google Pixel phones are the only phones compatible with GrapheneOS, so there's one reason.

Sure the gameplay is well tested (it has a overwhelmingly positive on Steam already from Early Access), but it's a huge game, and everything beyond Act 1 is brand new, plus many things in Act 1 have been changed (ex. one origin character was rescripted and recorded).

So while the gameplay and the implementation of the 5e ruleset is well known, the rest of the story and the journey is still mostly new, and that's a huge part of what will make people enjoy the game or not.

Just my few cents on why it's still important to see how it reviews. Mortismal Gaming is already reporting that there are some crashes, bugs in the release version, especially in the later acts (even if that is normal for a game of this scope, it's good to know).

Anyone can walk into a store and buy a deck of cards.

I bet the gift shop of any casino in Las Vegas would sell a souvenir deck of cards to a kid without a second thought.

Tom Scott was discussing this in his latest video on Bear Proof garbage containers. they're designed to keep bears out, but some clueless people can't open them either.

Unless someone is getting murdered.

Your sites are too low - you should aim to work AND be laid off from there.

Not really surprising given how it looked (like a generic ripoff), how it's priced (should be free), and how it was marketed (every conversation I enter starts with a chain of comments saying it's the first they've heard of it).

What is surprising to me is how much a Sony first party game missed the mark. I can't think of any other recent examples.

Glad the remove ads cost is reasonable.

Wish there was an option to opt out of analytics though. I don't like that it's mandatory.

Rewatching The Wire right now. I started clicking on a bunch of clips and my algorithm kept feeding me more so I figured I might as well just watch it all again. Never gets old for me anyway.

I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn't do that and I thought it was weird
