  • I think there is a whole lot of variability in this equation. I do try to keep some "cushion" in the bank, but I can borrow if I have to. So if I have drained the savings I can still get by via borrowing for a while if necessary.

    I'm fortunate that my employment is very steady. The chances of me losing my job are slim. If it were less steady I'd be better about keeping that cash stashed.

    If the unlikely did happen and I lost my job I would pretty quickly have access to a large stash of cash. Which I'd rather save but would spend if it saves my ass from starving and foreclosure.

  • You're right.

    It WOULD make economic sense to sell those kids into slavery.

    Why not profit from those rug rats?

  • Department stores can have mid-tier furniture. Like Macy's. My area also has specialized furntiure stores that have mid tier stuff. HOM is one.

    Some of the high tier furniture stores have one or more outlet stores.

    I'm guessing you'd get more/better help if you were more specific about what part of the US you're in.

  • Not surprised to hear Brits like to eat rocks.

    Must be about as tasty as everything else you eat over there.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise(video)

    There are many sources of electromagnetic noise which cause the characteristic display patterns of static. Atmospheric sources of noise are the most ubiquitous, and include electromagnetic signals prompted by cosmic microwave background radiation,[1] or more localized radio wave noise from nearby electronic devices.[2]

    The display device itself is also a source of noise, due in part to thermal noise produced by the inner electronics. Most of this noise comes from the first transistor the antenna is attached to.[2]

  • 8 mugs...8 tentacles! Perfect!

  • This is not new. People have been Photoshopping this kind of thing since before there was Photoshop. Why "AI" being involved matters is beyond me. The result is the same: fake porn/nudes.

    And all the hand wringing in the world about it being non consensual will not stop it. The cat has been out of the bag for a long time.

    I think we all need to shift to not believing what we see. It is counterintuitive, but also the new normal.

  • I think they're too young to know wtf that is.

  • ?

    I must not remember correctly but I didn't think it was possible to "beat" asteroids. I thought it just went on forever...like space... I remember playing one game for hours and hours.

    Must be in a mode or difficulty I didn't play.

  • I enjoy Vector Pinball quite a bit. Have also been playing Chip Defense, Gridle and Lexica.

  • Do you want ppl to think you're crazy? Because that's how you get ppl to think you're crazy.

  • I think part of the equation for "seeing results" has to do with body type. Some info here: https://www.setforset.com/blogs/news/3-body-types

    I don't think there is any relationship whatsoever between body type and "psychological traits" or criminal behavior. But I do think different bodies react differently to exercise.

  • Wow. That had much more depth than I was expecting.
