I recommend watching those videos.

Or the API can die a quick death, like so many other Google products.

I feel like if a bank is going to use it, there needs to be a clear financial reason to. Because if someone can't access their account, they might lose their shit and leave for the first bank whose website works.

I think it's under the premise of, of you have a functional car. It you got rid of that and bought an electric, you aren't helping anything.

There's many a times this could have been useful for me and I'll think I'll store this away for the future.

I use Win+Shift+S multiple times every day. When you need to quick take a screenshot of something it's the best thing. Windows has really good screen capture tool built on but most people never knew was there.

You really have to! Spider-Man wasn't born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can't know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.

Small tangent, that's the excuse I also use every time I'm drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube "Nope, still not Aquaman".

I want to throw in doorbells with this (but only as a misdemeanor)

I use Pluto.tv for background noise at night. Amazon is now running some 'Prime Deal Days' ads and one of them has a very prominent doorbell sound that wakes my ass up everytime.

Can you explain what the general sentiment is?

This is clearly art, because I don't get it.

Same boat. Insurance costs have been going up for the last few years. I tried to talk to them about it... they said 'well everyone else is getting in accidents, you don't even know!!! It's crazy out there'. Same vehicle. My only 'options' were to let them install a bunch of tracking devices and software (fuck that) or reduce my coverage considerably.

Gosh I love the for profit insurance I'm forced to have that gets to dictate everything.

The man has priorities

Reads only title. Makes assumptions. Bitches about something they didn't read.

I think you want www.reddit.com or www.twitter.com

The BASE cost remains the same. They then started finding ways market a spreadsheets with of 'versions'. Then they added 'micro' transactions, battle passes, etc. Or they just shut down the old game so you have to buy the new version to keep playing.

And the cost of games has risen faster the minimum wage in the US.

So will all the multi millionaires and billionaires video games were making... I think $60 was more than fine for a large studio produced game.

Or, hear me out, we cut out the most expensive part of game development.

Upper management. They cost the most, contribute the least (if anything), and can be replaced by someone who not only take 25% of what some of these CEOs make, but do a better job.

It's not just the men. Women too. I once dated a correctional officer, let me tell you, the things she was proud of were unreal.

Example, she and her cronies unlocked the door of a mentally disabled person. Because they were bored and wanted to make fun of him. She also gleefully spike about using riot gear on inmates.

My last name is used a lot on movies. There's also been a football player that had nearly the same name and there's a basketball player with the same same name.

For the most part, I just ignore it. But some people are weird about it because they assume I just be related somehow and I'm going to introduce them...

The thing that keeps Stream good is Valve isn't publicly traded.

This was taught to me,

Snuggle and cuddle. Tell the person you want to cuddle, means to curl up together under a blanket and watch a movie. Tell the person snuggle when you want to fuck (but your being discreet). And if your hair looks a little messed up or someone asks what y'all been doing... snuggling 🥰

Supposedly because there's no through hole components, everything is surface mount, it should be much easier to manufacturer.

I hate self check out and what it's become.

It should be the '10 items or fewer' line. Not, a full cart. If you can't carry the items in a basket, you need to go in a regular line.

My local grocery store has like 9 self check outs, with 1 person sometimes staffed to fix them when they fail (not if, when) and they have 1 regular lane open. And everything ends up with a long line and it's infuriating. Oh and the manger standing in the back 'monitoring things' acting like they're doing anything, but isn't doing the right thing and opening up a new lane.

Also, far too many people are over leaving into 'im an introvert' and playing it up to poorly written teen sitcom levels.
