  • You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Chrome has always sucked. I use it when something doesn't work right with FF but with the changes being made under the hood, I'll probably be using it less and less as time goes on.

    As for F versus FF. I was shortening F-u.c+k. There are some bots roaming the fediverse censoring things.

    The above said and this attitude means I am going to block you. You have a nice day now.

  • Do you have a Costco membership? You can order regular sunglasses online or in store at their optical department. I recently went with them for 2 pairs of prescription, 1 regular glasses with transition and 1 pair of prescription sunglasses. Total before insurance reimbursement was less than $300. You should be able to get a nice high end, high quality pair of non prescription sunglasses for less than $200 and they stand behind their products way more than other merchants.

    Be aware that their online store is extremely lacking and it's probably better to go in store unless something online works for you.

    I preach the holy site that is Costco to anyone who will listen. $60/year can save you hundreds from optical and pharmacy alone.

  • No. Iguanas are awesome and I have the property to give them a home outside when the weather is warm enough. When they are small they should be contained most of the time but when they get bigger they can just hang out wherever they feel like it.

    Oh and I don't do youtube so if you actually know anything about this, try using words instead of expecting others to watch a video you didn't make.

  • No. Not all lizards are venomous. If you are into reptiles, you should know that the gila is venomous and it's not the kind of pet you should have at home.

    I'm not an expert but I did work at a reptile shop/rescue many decades ago and a lot of it has stuck.

  • This is the beauty of self employment. As I said in a previous comment, I'm a driver and one of the apps I work along with my own service give me the ability and freedom to raise my own rates when I feel the need. Truth is though, as it stands, most uber and lyft drivers could make more than enough if the companies were forced to pass on a percentage instead of low balling offers. Very rough math says they could pass on a fixed 80% and charge the rider whatever they feel like at any point in time. This would give them more enough profit along with covering all costs. They won't do this because they are greedy and states/cities won't make them do it because they are stuck in the hourly mindset when most IC work is not hourly. This job is all about miles. Watch dead and wasted time of course but it's not all about the hourly.

  • Uber is making way more money than they let on. They got caught stashing millions over seas. They and lyft both take over half of the transaction on average and have reduced their support teams to mostly bots and people who can barely read.

  • I'm a driver in another state/city but if I lived in Minneapolis I'd be loving this.

    Why?

    I drive uber, empower (a service launched in my market) and I'm building my own service. Getting uber and lyft kicked out of town will do amazing things for the industry and the drivers and riders. Regional services will pop up and this will help filter out the drivers who know how to run a business and act professionally and those who shouldn't be self employed and customer facing.

    I'm on track to pull 6 figures in the next year or two. I'm currently in the process of upgrading to an EV, later this year we will be buying my wife a phev mini van for her to main and I'll use it for business if needed as well as for road trips.

  • Real estate isn't that simple. Way too many layers of work and bureaucracy between wanting to build something and making it happen even when you have the cash to make it so. Many of these layers are essential, others like nimby idiots are not. We need more housing for people and it would take a huge increase in available housing to have any negligible effect on any one individuals house/property value.

    As for restaurants. It's also not that simple. Most restaurants fail in the first year or two. You have to figure out what type of food is in demand and then maybe be willing and able to shift to something else if the market gets oversaturated.

  • Iirc tmo has 2 tiers. One with a smallish cap and one that throttles based on tower capacity when you hit something like 30 or 50tb. I had the 30 day trial and I've considered getting it as a backup to our cable internet, I've held off because most of the time if the cable is out, it's a bigger issue like a power outage that also eventually takes down the towers as well, plus I think where we are there is only one tower that we connect to and when it goes down we switch to another much further away with barely any signal.

    I have spectrum gigabit down and they cap us at like 35 up. I'm watching and waiting while 3 companies aside from spectrum and att rollout fiber all over town. I'm hoping that eventually they get to us. We live in the outskirts and one of the companies expanded south from north of us so I have reason to hope they get to us eventually.

  • Word for word (from what I can remember).

    We didn't go far enough on January 6th, next time we will end democracy.

    Yes. They said it out loud multiple times and over the past few years they have started saying lots of quiet parts outloud. We have a decent chunk of this country who are supportive of and helping to install a dictator.
