This is a weird situation and I have some insight as a Chicago resident. But I'm definitely not a lawyer, so take with a grain of salt. The way I understand it, is that under normal circumstances this situation is highly illegal as notice is required far in advance for residents to vacate the property. But under very specific emergency circumstances where the owner must vacate everyone on the property for safety, no notice is required but they have to pay to temporarily house the residents. So it doesn't matter which situation is taking place, the owner is in the wrong.
It's framed very inaccurately in the news as well. You'll see articles about how ford reports people aren't buying their electric lineup. Meanwhile the dealership is marking them up so high that they are now priced too high for the target market. But the articles never mention that part
I just found out yesterday that you can't cast from a pixel to a fire stick. It was the first time I tried and I thought it was broken. Nope, just Google being petty.
There was a time when I was a kid that my parents were struggling with money. It was an ongoing struggle that lasted more than a decade and they still haven't fully recovered from to this day. Anyway, I was aware of their struggles and as soon as I was old enough at 16, I went and got a job. I made less than minimum wage and my hours were severely limited due to state laws about employment under the age of 18. So I was still going to school and making barely anything, but whatever I didn't use, I put away in the bank. Skip ahead to when I'm 18 and I've saved a few thousand dollars. My parents had a few particularly rough months and didn't know how they would pay the mortgage that month, so my mom asked me if they could borrow some. I still remember how embarrassed my mom looked while asking me and I remember thinking that I didn't know if I would ever get that money back. But I agreed. It was a bit of an emotional ordeal, but they did pay me back eventually and my parents still have their house. So all in all it worked out for the best.
Too expensive and unhealthy. I have 1 cereal that I like to enjoy every now and then, but it's now reached $9 for a small box. It's just not worth it anymore. These days at the grocery store I buy what I actually need and then check the stuff I don't need to see if there's a sale. But I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $8 for a single bag of chips/cookies/cereal etc.
This is precisely why I don't actively seek promotions. Not only are there very few paths for someone to move up with my skill set, but if I do, I won't be doing what I enjoy doing anymore. I just want to find the medium where I can make enough to live off of and also just do my work most of the time.
Bold claim when you remember all of the horrific UI that car manufacturers utilized before everyone started using Apple and Google's UI. Sometimes I have to borrow an old car from someone and you just can't find anything. Really, I'm more in favor of bringing back physical buttons for all basic functions, but a good UI will not only make it quick and easy to say change to the next song or view trip details, but it will also prevent you from performing more complicated tasks while in motion. We'll see what GM's solution is, but I have little faith.
Oh man. In my fucked up family, this is the Christmas album we would listen to every year. I'm sure some songs were very inappropriate for children, but I'd like to think I turned out ok ¯(ツ)/¯
I generally try to check every few years to see if they sell to the US yet. Last I checked they would finally ship FP4 to the US, but it will only work on T-Mobile :/ gonna check back in a few more years.
For me it was the inspiration I felt from technological improvements. I grew up in a house where my father was a network engineer and would constantly have computers opened up he was tinkering with. And all through the 90s I saw more and more improvements that made me feel like the future would be even more amazing! This persisted well into the 2000s with the coming of social media and small commercial devices like MP3 players, cell phones, etc. It just seemed like everything was improving and that if a company stopped improving, another company would come along and give the people what they want! But now I live in a world where all of the things that used to excite me have betrayed me and anything new I am extremely skeptical of. I see all kinds of new and interesting technological improvements come along and while they seem like excellent ideas that would improve my life, I also see the many ways in which they would exploit me, my privacy, and my money. I would love to have a camera doorbell in which I can see who is at the door and talk to them while I'm not at home, but those devices are horribly insecure and you have to subscribe to their services. I just can't do it and I wish we could go back to the days in which you could just buy a product that might improve in a few years and you didn't need to worry about it watching you or costing money every month. Instead you could just be excited about your little gadget and dream about what the next version would be like.
They got rid of my beloved double decker taco 🥺. And I'm even more mad about it because they didn't get rid of any ingredients to make it and it wouldn't be hard to make either. They just got rid of it and then put self serve kiosks in so you can't finagle the staff to make you one. I feel you, brother. 2020 did a number on all of our favorite taco bell menu items and definitely not anything else.
