I live in a house with four other people, all of which have had it at one point or another. Usually one person gets it and wears a mask around the house so it doesn't end up spreading to anyone else. I've managed to not get it despite testing every few days for a couple of weeks after it has been in the house

I'm one of them! It has been in the house three separate times and I've managed to make out without a single positive test. I don't even bother with masks outside the house

For breaking news,

Which you really don't actually need. Nobody needs to know whatever bullshit is happening across the planet in .5 nanoseconds.

Here's rhe secret: that's why night people like the night too

Turns out people generally just don't do anything in the morning or night and whichever one you choose doesn't really make much difference

I think you underestimate how expensive licensing music is. As an example, the vast majority of Spotify's revenue goes to paying licensing fees and is most of the reason they're wildly unprofitable

It's actually a relatively common idea! A great example is many countries forcefully separate the Internet providers and the companies that own the lines themselves. It means the ISPs share lines and are in competition with every other ISP, and the companies that own the lines are incentivizes to build as many, bigger cables as possible and onboard as many ISPs as possible. It's honestly a great system

Man you really think I'm being wildly more hostile than I am. It was genuine curiousity. It was in no way unnecessary, it wasn't attacking you in any way, it was prompting a conversation. If you think every response to you that's only tangentially related to what you said is off topic, then I fear for anyone who even attempts to have any sort of conversation with you at all. That's how conversations work.

Fifteen years ago my searches were limited to Minecraft and basic programming questions. Now they're more like searching for specific research papers and other significantly more complex topics and I get much less useful results. Are they related? Who knows! It's an interesting idea, though, which I was hoping to explore with someone who might be interested. But no, you decided to be whatever this is.

Fuck, dude, get your head out of your goddamn ass. Learn how to talk to people. Fuck.

The article is stupid and doesn't know what they're talking about. Literally anyone who sells anything over $600 must report the sale to the IRS and pay taxes.

I can confirm this

Disagree. I'd argue that the companies releasing the movies shouldn't be the same ones running the streaming services. It would mean they can't double-dip, and they're encouraged to be on as many services as possible

Oh my God, you're my hero

Since you're smart: how can I make tapping a comment collapse the comment itself, not only its children

Half the time I order directly from some manufacturer I get fucked my shitty support and zero return policies

The IRS has zero jurisdiction to do that

They must be gen z

I hate when it's playing music and I tell it to shut the fuck up, then it decides to turn off every actively going alarm in the house instead of turning off the goddamn music playing on the one it literally responded in. This happens most mornings.

I think there's a massive difference between unlocking a feature that's already there and requires no maintenance and a cloud-based service that demands 24/7 uptime and constant developer support, as well as ongoing feature development

You won't need that unless you get audited, which is highly unlikely unless you're doing questionable things consistently, and even then they probably wouldn't care enough to look into a single bike sale too deeply.

I've been audited. It wasn't that difficult and I didn't need every last individual scrap of information

If he's "just scraping by" he's not "middle class."

less money issues than it is.

Hard disagree. They'd just spend significantly more.
