  • How about this: Billionaires and presidents don't get to keep their taxes secret. Deal?

  • Seems it's the opposite, the unique combo is popping up plenty. I wouldn't be surprised if she's changed it since.

  • The FN P90 (matching the text in the pic):

    Not only did the FN P90 fire a revolutionary and original ammunition, but it also marked the advent of two significant technological events in the history of gun making at FN. First of all, its patent specified the placement of the 50-round magazine along the barrel and axis of the weapon, while all the machine pistols of the time were still encumbered, either laterally or vertically, by their long magazines. Furthermore, through the power of its spring, the FN P90 magazine itself ensured the rotation and exit of the ammunition into the gun's chamber. Also, for the first time in FN's history, the development team chose to put their faith in the possibilities offered by technical polymers. This choice placed FN Herstal definitively at the forefront of high tech technologies. More than 50 percent of the new arms later developed by FN Herstal would be made of composite materials.

  • I'm on smoko, so leave me alone.

  • That big bag of cheetos? Yeah that still only has like 2.5oz, it too has been enshitified.

  • I've read it can be a big problem in assisted living places, STIs for everyone!

  • First I've heard of that term, and after looking it up, I like the term Game-as-a-Service way better.

    Seems like a perpetual fee if you want to keep playing. I guess I'm missing something, but I think I'd rather pay a monthly fee of I dunno $10/month to play, if there is a $0 cost to install the game.

    So to be clear, none of this $60 game purchase and a $10/month subscription, it's one or the other. For most games that are decent, I get into binge playing and beat the game within a month anyway and then never play it again. I win in this scenario, since I'm not coughing up ton of cash.

    For exceptional games, I generally reinstall maybe 1-2 times a year and do another playthrough, which means after 3-6 years then I'm in the hole. The other huge case where I'd lose out: Playing more than one game in a given month. I typically have 2-3 games installed at a time to mix things up in a given month, which would mean being out in the hole way quicker. There's also the being a "patient gamer" and buying shit on extreme sale, which I'd be fucked by GaaS too.

    So I suppose I'd rather than buy my games outright, and say fuck that rent bullshit.

  • The donkey likely can run faster at first, but it will need to stop to rest way sooner than the human.

    It's the same reason a human will always win against an equine in a long distance race: If the equine does not stop to rest, it will die for lack of oxygen.

    Humans have evolved in such a way that we can fully breathe while running. Thus, we can hunt large game till they need to stop in order to fully breathe again, and then BAM!

  • not that Netflix has commercials

    There's a tier with commercials for many countries now.

  • Something I learned from the "other site" personal finance sub: You are not responsible for your mother's debt, do not make any payments directly for any of her debt, or else that's enough in some states for debtors to then go after you.There's other tips and tricks to keep your finances separate from your mother's, don't feel bad looking after yours as the primary priority. Remember: A caregiver that's completely exhausted (either physically/mentally/financially) can't take care of anybody, so remember to take care of yourself first. I hope things get better for the both of us, I'm in a similar boat.

  • Sure, but I meant that after he was fired, he was/is still beholden to several contractual terms about non-competes for a set amount of time.

  • I'd love to know who's footing the bill for his trip.

    Also, I thought the terms of is foxnews contract were such that he isn't supposed to be doing any news anchoring type gigs - did something change?

  • I think the whole Turkey having started buying Russian armaments predates the current embargo. Like, I can recall them buying some Russian anti-air defense shit designed to down NATO aircraft about 5 years ago or so.

    So it's been more so about Erdoğan trying to assert some weird ass attempt at displayingf dominance. That fucker's been the president for a decade straight now, looking awfully lot like a despot at this point. And they're a NATO member right there, mmhm. Yup.

  • I feel like every single family home has HOA dues, these days, so that comparison is kinda moot

    Narp. I wouldn't buy a house in a hoa ever again, and haven't had issues finding the last two I lived in (in both large and small markets).

  • No ragrets.

  • Michael Jace, former star on The Shield

    Perhaps better known for his role in Murder, She Wrote: The Last Free Man - you can't make this shit up.

  • my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted

    You know what is going to be held captive by bureaucratic decree? Your felon status, fucker!

    Can I have your AR-15 once you're convicted? Because you won't be allowed to own it after! And j/k about your rifle, I bet it's a PSA p p piece of shit (dumbasses like this guy tend to be poor whiskey tango).
