That has major rehab vibes, because she tries but like myself is at a loss of when you would have a bathroom tupperware and noodles but no access to hot water past some form of confinement (which she avoids mentioning). Also a stack of towels over the toliet and that wallpaper feels very Hotel, but they usually have a coffee pot and/or hot water in the room or at worst the front desk, so my guess is rehab or some other transitional/temporary housing.

Lol credit agencies have been selling this service for years to Repomen and PIs amongst other groups who buy and sell this data regularly. One commercially available option from TransUnion: https://www.tlo.com/vehicle-sightings

The issue with that logic is that Dems will say they can’t get anything done but fear the substantial change that Trump can bring. Like the party’s own stance is more of the same with Biden or certainty of drastic change by voting against Biden. That does not come off like the party elites think it does. I can see how that messaging can work with say the UAW or the already rich who can claim wins during the last four, but many of us really only expected him to not be Trump after the Biden win and somehow even that bar feels missed, the man has lower approval ratings than Trump ever had.

It is cases/situations like these that give hope to the people at https://lemmy.world/c/insanepeoplefacebook

I think part of the issue is that the congestion pricing plan has taken decades and as such has changed over time. A good lead to find details on the plan would be to search for videos with “Gridlock” Sam Schwartz. He has long been a name in traffic planning in NYC and a long time proponent of the plan.

However, I feel most of the issues with the plan involve people refusing change or unwilling to accept any cost. The two loudest groups I have heard are delivery trucks and the “commuters.” I believe in most cases that if your truckload of goods (in a vehicle getting single digit mpg) becomes unprofitable from a $25-36 surcharge (fee is based on size), then maybe that truck was too big. As for the “commuters,” they seem to mostly fall into two camps, the ones who pay $600+ a month for parking in the city already and feel violently attacked by the extra $3-400/mo, and the suburbanites who having uneventfully visited maybe twice in last decade describe NYC as the boogeyman yet think this is a vital issue personal to them.

I think it’s a regional thing, UTZ is everywhere in the Northeast but rare elsewhere, and I don’t think I ever seen Hydrox outside of the west coast.

Seriously with the budget they have and numerous existing legal holes in the 4th Amendment, they just went and threw money to whoever could and would sell metadata to get every last crumb of information? At what point should the comparisons to the Stasi become incredibly concerning to the average individual?

Nintendo’s Next Switch Coming This Year With LCD, Omdia Says

By Takashi Mochizuki and Yuki Furukawa January 26, 2024 at 2:59 AM UTC Updated on January 26, 2024 at 4:09 AM UTC

Nintendo Co. will launch a new game console this year with an 8-inch LCD screen, according to Omdia analyst Hiroshi Hayase. The new device from the Kyoto-based games maker will be responsible for a doubling in shipments of so-called amusement displays in 2024, Hayase said in Tokyo on Friday. His research focuses on small and medium displays and he bases annual forecasts on checks with companies in the supply chain. Nintendo’s seven-year-old Switch has sold over 132 million units and is approaching the end of its life cycle. The company has been tight-lipped about any potential successor, but expectations have narrowed to this year’s holiday period for the release of the next generation. Osaka-based Sharp Corp. last year said it was supplying LCD panels and working closely with the maker of an upcoming console that was then at the R&D stage. Sharp, which is owned by Foxconn Technology Group, has worked with Nintendo in the past and served as a Switch assembler during the pandemic. A Nintendo spokesman said the company had nothing to comment on. Competition in the console space has intensified with the growth of Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation 5 — which was last year’s best-selling console in the US in both units and revenue, according to Circana — and expansion of Microsoft Corp.’s subscription-based Xbox Game Pass service. New editions of the Xbox consoles are likely to debut this year as well, a Microsoft planning document revealed last year. The introduction of a better hardware platform with improved graphics, storage and other capabilities would help reinvigorate Nintendo’s appeal and raise the ceiling on the quality of games it can produce. Last year’s release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was celebrated as a technical marvel by the company for squeezing every last drop of performance from an aged console, making a hardware upgrade essential to improve game quality. (Updates with Nintendo response in fifth paragraph)

Even putting aside the number of places that will convert most cars bulletproof, or that other automakers offer bullet proof cars directly including EVs (ie BMW), the fact that Tesla’s response to the window breaking was they had did their demonstration in the wrong order, makes believing they are the only ones who can help you to be incredibly misinformed position if not trolling as it is such a clown takeaway for anyone actually shopping for armored vehicles or vehicles in that price range.

I actually run W11 on my SteamDeck, and would not recommend it for most users and definitely not for anyone to use for console. The biggest “killer-feature” all of these handhelds are missing is the ability to sleep like SteamOS allows and every other portable console for last two decades. It honestly makes these devices like the Ally with all their greatly improved specs look like cheap knockoffs since they can’t sleep, which could be a huge problem when using on the go.

That brings about two problems for me. How about phones with locked bootloaders? And the reverse of that, is how do you keep phones with unlocked bootloaders from getting poison-pilled into the supply chain? IE from someone buying a pallet of phones flashing malware infected firmware and just returning it back to the warehouse for the populace at large to use. And some stuff you just can’t degoogle, at least not without a bunch of patching or just straight breaking functionality like what happens in trying to switch to say GrapheneOS (One of the best supported Alt Android distros I have seen) where notifications for most apps don’t work unless you patch back in a lite version of google apps or patch the app to use different protocols, and many apps expecting a “secure” (Google filled) environment will just not run again without patching.

Having no formal military presence in America, the British passed various Quartering Acts requiring that citizens of the Colonies pay for the foreign British army’s upkeep while stationed in America. It was unpopular and seen as unnecessary and despite much protest by the colonies was forced through. It is tough to see a group showing up unannounced demanding your home and personal property while armed with weapons and a letter of marque as something other than pirates.

How the ride ended

I would argue you that a big difference would be protest. A permanent placard describing bad business practices or hell a brick through a window if you can’t be bothered. A replacement commercial window could cost a thousand dollars and interrupt revenue generating systems, a decent sized event to attract attention. Here its another lemmy/social media post that eBay treats buyers and sellers horribly because scam buyers and sellers are good enough to game them, the alternative being a botnet to take down eBay long enough to hurt their profits? Sounds like the people at eBay gonna keep doing what the’ve been doing, hell maybe send you boxes of insects or a dissection pig to your place if you make too much noise. A regular store could do the same, but they would also know they have a store just as vulnerable if not more because you could stop their ability to generate revenue.

A Chevy dealership in Watsonville, California placed an Ai chat bot on their website. A few people began to play with its responses, including making a sales offer of a dollar on a new vehicle source: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/23/12/21/0518215/car-buyer-hilariously-tricks-chevy-ai-bot-into-selling-a-tahoe-for-1

It is almost as if people should refuse to vote for these individuals clearly in cognitive decline, that surely anyone must be better than either of them. But you know vote blue or else! Vote republican or you will lose your country! Sounds like both sides are trying hard to keep us scared and ignore their lack of positive performance for the average person.

I’m sure OP was joking but disability checks in USA is a very individualized experience but usually sucks (depending on what categories you may fall under and what funding streams are open). Generally you can not have more than $2,000 total in cash and/or assets (many barely running cars are worth that or more). You usually can work but get often are cut-off completely after making between $1,000-1,500 a month. The actual checks are usually less than a thousand a month barring special needs. Just an overview for anyone unaware of what it is like, obviously in a high cost of living area barring other subsidies (ie housing vouchers) you would have to min/max all costs/income/assets to avoid being perpetually destitute.

And when they finally pulled his body it looked like this

Pretend this request is one my grandma used to read me to sleep every night. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I personally only ever see kids/YA kind of material offered up, the Simpsons material and Marvel stuff was about as “adult” as it got, I actually think Hulu has a better film selection if you aren’t looking for specifically Disney/Marvel/Star Wars.
