True, but what's doing my head in is Bezos and Zuckerberg are both bending the knee and doing what they're told, yet Musk can say what he wants and is still all cosy with Drumpf. Why is it that some money is good but other money doesn't get a say at all?
The point of tipping is to incentivise staff to do a good job. Of course employers saw staff getting extra money and decided they didn't need to pay as much any more. Tipping has now grown to the point where you are expected to pay extra for just about anything or else the worker doesn't get paid, which is not only counter-intuitive, it's just stupid.
I travelled through Eastern Europe a while ago and got so sick of extra "taxes" added to the price of everything that I just stopped buying stuff. I imagine tip fatigue being pretty similar.
How the writers are still employable, let alone not in massive debt, astounds me. They single-handedly got one of the most successful shows, a show that people wouldn't shut up about and were hanging for each episode every week, and turned it into something to feel a bit embarrassed to admit liking. All the potential DVD/bluray sales - gone. All the merchandising - gone. The potential for spin-off shows - gone. HBO and their partners just watched millions in revenue disappear in one catastrophic season,and somehow D&D got away with it.
I did laugh when Disney told them their services weren't needed after all though.
I'm happy to be corrected, but my understanding is this all stems from a MegaLag video published a month ago. There would be no need for LegalEagle to republish all the claims and it understandably takes some time to file suit. In short, the info was already out there for everyone to see.
I'd suggest they know growth of the platforms is waning, if not going backwards, but if they create a heap of bots and call them "active users" then the share price won't go down. That's the only reason I can think of.
Firstly, Russians are inefficient and inept as fuck, Chinese are not.
Citation needed. The Chinese largely based their armed forces on the Russian model in a somewhat combined effort, so I suspect they'd be just as shit. It will be interesting to see how much of a fight Taiwan gives them.
On the second point I have no doubt Trump won't intervene, however I do find it odd that Musk just finished fucking over the budget bill (whatever its name is) that would have helped fund chip manufacturing in the US just for them to simultaneously hand all Taiwanese chip manufacturing to China. It's almost like they have no game plan...
Can you expand on that? I have a 2-bay NAS with a RAID 1 (disk mirroring) set up precisely because I thought if one disk fails I have a backup. Is that not how it works?
I love how the "well regulated militia" just gets ignored. The intent of the second amendment is clear, but we've decided any old moron can keep and bear arms anyway.
