So, in the article, the tip amounts were 20%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. They also used capital letters correctly.
I'm not trying to say that a 100% tip isn't crazy, but this photo seems suspicious without any branding, incorrect capitalization and a total of exactly $95.00. Hell, I can't even be sure that this is an actual point of sale machine, it looks like it could just be a monitor.
Both achievements and in-game rewards linked to playtime should be banned. The "Tales" game series is especially bad at requiring ridiculous amounts of playtime for character abilities.
50 hours in menus, 25 hours in "combat", and a whooping 250 hours in the game in general for the highest-level bonuses for the main character in Tales of Berseria.
This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material: Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo
Brb, starting an IVF facility. It might not work, and we might only accept donations, but we SWEAR we're trying to fertilize embryos. Eventually. Someday in the future.
I'm both glad you made it out and jealous I don't have a similar history with another country to move to. You're a great parent for everything you do for your daughter. Hope the last bit of the trip went smoothly and you find a job quickly.
Back in my day, we let the entire ringtone play out because it was "Who let the dogs out", and we paid 99 cents for it. There was no way we would admit that paying for a ringtone was a dumb idea, so we had to justify it any time we got a phone call.
(By we, I mean millennials, but I never did buy a ringtone. Never understood it, and have used vibrate since my first phone.)
With that data collection, their algorithm for targeted marketing is on a completely different level. I completely believe they're profitable.
Not only do you have knowledge into people who are likely buyers, you can put them into a buying mood right before showing them the ad so they're primed for it. Then on top of THAT, you don't have to design, film or edit the ad - you just pay an influencer to do it for you. It makes it faster, easier and cheaper to AstroTurf brand awareness than ever before.
Relatedly, the only people I know ordering things from Shien or Temu are on TikTok.
You just listed four options, but still argue that's a 'binary'. Every time you look closer, you're going to find another outlier to categorize. Eventually, it starts to make more sense to look at it as a spectrum instead of a rigid set of 'either A or B or AB or {NULL} or ..'
Do you have any idea just how expensive it would be to do testing on every athlete?
There were 7.8 million student athletes in the US last year and the average cost of a testosterone test is 70 - 100 bucks. Even using conservative estimations, you'd need to spend half a BILLION dollars PER YEAR to accomplish this. And the worst part? Do you know how many of those 7.8 million were trans students? Five.
I recently read "Blindsight" by Peter Watts which was about how first contact could work with an entirely alien species. It goes deep into both the physical and social sciences involved, and was a fun journey as well.
