Whoa whoa whoa... if it starts printing good I'd even pay for a WinRAR license.
Joking aside, diablo 3 was the last game I ever pre-ordered. They basically made a wow clone in the Diablo universe, but without a compelling story. They must be desperate for sales if they are diversifying where they sell it.
To your point, there is nothing wrong with making a social media account to serve a specific purpose. Just having the account doesn't mean you have to install the app and post everything about yourself. If you have one for family, set it all private and only share things you would post publicly. Same for dating, work, etc. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing. I did give up all the major social media, but there was a time I needed to make a Facebook account to coordinate with student clubs that I was an advisor for. Once I no longer did the advising, I deleted the account. Yeah, they have the data I shared. Dates and times of student meetings and recommendations on how students organize events. Nothing to clutch pearls about.
Ages 10 and 7, and I will be setting one up for my 5 year old. The two older kids can easily switch between game mode and desktop, run teamspeak and switch to their games, browse the web, etc. They needed a little help to get going but now are self sufficient and play multiplayer trailmakers all the time. The five year old will just do game mode with a cheap wired Xbox type controller to play kid games.
People tend to meet and socialize doing the things you mentioned: sports, hobbies, and clubs. You might try hobbies like disc golf, hiking or other things that give lots of chance for conversation. It's not uncommon for people to have their guard up in general, but if you approach people with an upbeat attitude and are polite you will generally make a good impression.
Meetup.com might have some groups on your area. I just moved from the West Coast to the East Coast and have made friends and contacts. Some local areas might be standoffish for reasons, but just keep putting engaging people as you come across them. I wouldn't go around knocking on doors but if you see them outside, wave, smile, ask them if they know a good restaurant, etc.
I don't know what city but I just moved from the West Coast to the East Coast, and the people have been lovely and very welcoming. I'm sure some neighborhoods have cliques, but I doubt an entire city is that way. Plus, not super encouraging advice for the guy who just landed here from half a world away, lol.
Well, the person I was replying to said that people allow unsafe cars because the top half live quite well. My point is that the top half includes many people who are financially struggling, and even people doing ok drive the same cars so of course they wouldn't want them to be unsafe.
I appreciate the note on the EU though. I imagine most places have similar difficulties in managing auto safety
The US median income is $31k/year, so anyone who makes more than that is in the top half you describe. At exactly what income level do you suggest unsafe vehicles is no longer a concern? Because I guarantee the senators and Congress reps are driving the same cars everyone else is with a few exceptions.
I agree. Unfortunately many folks who are attracted to security issues and topics don't have a great holistic view of things. The idea of security is that something can go wrong and you are still ok, and that you apply context appropriate measures. Of course sending a password through email isn't good, but it's a gaming forum. A security conscious individual should have randomly generated passwords for everything and no reuse. Likewise, it wasn't a bank or a security company, it was an old forum software for public discussions, so contextually this isn't a top concern.
The cherry on top is that it appears to have been an old screenshot and already addressed.
Maybe try kbin.social? I've found the PWA app to work reasonably well, you still see fediverse content, and the system is more reddit like. You do need to pick and choose which threads you want in to still, because you are right, there are a lot of FOSS, Linux, and other types of absolutists that ruin discussions.
It's actually hard, at least where I live, to capture a live cicada because they are up in trees. More likely the person made a joke using a dead one that fell down. In the fall I actually have to sweep them up I have so many to avoid a driveway of dead bugs. You can't really tell in a picture of they are alive or dead.
But to your point, yes, torturing live creatures wouldn't be funny but I doubt that happened here.
Dialectically thinking would be to consider the issue at hand, and to form multiple positions to interpret or explain the situation, often contradictory or opposing positions.
The banker example has the philosophy cop browbeat the banker with a single line of reasoning. What he could do is take the bankers position himself, flesh it out, and argue both points (and others) to find the most sound position, that is often a nuanced blend of the others.
I imagine it varies depending on the financial institution. Seems crazy though to issue certified checks without an expiration. I don't recall the last time I saw one printed without one, but I don't see many in any given year.
Right, I understand the distinction. What I'm saying is that at my credit union, I can report that a certified check has been lost. They have a waiting period of like 5 days and will then reissue the check. I mentioned my experience with the expired check because that is when I spoke to them about it.
No, my point is that the bank doesn't need to be indemnified to cancel the first check and issue a second check. A certified check can be reported lost or stolen and reissued without a lot of fuss. It is the bank that holds the money drawn on for a certified account which they take out of your account. They haven't sent it to escrow or something where there is risk of them being out 2x.
That's odd. I had my bank issue a certified check to pay a contractor years ago. I forget what happened but they didn't cash it within the expiration period so the bank cancelled it and returned the funds to my account. Generally a certified check just means the bank holds the funds separately from your account until the expiration date or it gets reported as lost or damaged. Or at least that is how my credit union handles them.
I don't see how you addressed my point that the change doesn't in and of itself represent deregulation. Surely opening the process up to more bidders and allowing the government to more directly prioritize initiatives isn't deregulation.
Setting that aside, I only have a cursory knowledge of the background from some NYT articles I read in the spring. Those articles mentioned the concerns you give around inequality and outdated technology and systems. My understanding is that one of the first planned contracts to go to bid is to modernize the technology systems, which seems to at least be a start at addressing known deficiencies. Additionally, more targeted contracts allow the government to review for more specific goals and outcomes rather than a monolithic overarching agreement.
It's easy to list all the negative things that could happen with the process. But like you say, this bill itself doesn't solve the problems, it creates opportunities. I see opportunities to fix the problems. Your are welcome to focus on the negative and assume this is just a financial play. Both of us are predicting the future and time will tell.
