  • Most of my cars, I've bought from friends, co-workers, or relatives, or people that they knew. We agree on blue book value, I get it checked by my mechanic, occasionally I've had to get a bank loan, and it's done.

    Part of it's starting to keep your ears open when you think your current car may be getting toward the end of it's life, so that you can take advantage of anything you might hear about. Part of it's asking people if they've heard of anyone who might be getting rid of their old car. And part of it is people remembering that you've asked about these things before so that, when they or someone they know start thinking about getting rid of their old car, you're one of the people they think of who might be willing to take it without hassle, at a fair price.

  • Palestinians in Gaza rejoice in streets In Tel Aviv, hostage families express joy Israeli PM says some items unresolved

    And he's already prepping his get-out clause, whatever "issues" he decides are "unresolved".

  • tl;dr: he owns 3 golf clubs in New Jersey. For reasons that I don't remember, the one near Philly gets to retain it's liquor license. The other two have only been given short-term provisional permits since his conviction last summer. The New Jersey attorney general is now deciding whether those licenses should be revoked.

    Interesting bit at the end, in that he "cannot own a firearm and will have to give a DNA sample".

  • Virtue signalling means that you want to appear like you're better than you actually are, at least in public.

    So it means that Zuck thinks people who leave Meta are actually scum, they just want to look nice to others.

  • Because live captions are frequently shit, especially for live broadcasts of local or regional issues. They're behind the images that are shown on the screen, so you get things like someone saying "you see here where the fire is coming from" and they switch to a second map just as the captions appear on the screen. The captioners are rushed and can't always keep up and they make typos. Auto-generated captions lose words and nuance and sometimes just output pure gibberish.

  • the American people will turn on him quickly if the news is full of children and hardworking families being rounded up.

    Why would they? A significant portion were perfectly fine with those reports last time he was in office.

  • My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck's entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It'd be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.

    That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I'm the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.

  • I also think it's unfair to compare the percentage amounts of current tips to those from 2021, a time when the pandemic was still roaring through the country, a lot of people were trying really hard to support service workers, and everyone had received a bunch of extra money.

  • [Obi-wan Kenobi voice] Daily Galaxy. Now that's a name that I haven't heard in a long, long time ....

    So, are they any more reputable than they used to be, now that they've been acquired by a venture capital firm, instead of being more focused on the fringier edges of science?
