Huge fan of power wash simulator. The campaign was much more fun than I ever expected out of a sim and the DLC was a welcome surprise. I play it when I need something relaxing and it is great for a chill gaming session.

Didn't they just raise prices "due to the writers strike"?

if they need to raise rates this much this often they are crap at forecasting and or (more likely) they are just full of shit and are just making up excuses to generate revenue after seeing how many people tolerated the password crackdown.

This is a huge bummer. I really like having physical bluray copies of my favorite movies. I always get my DVDs and blurays locally whenever I can, usually at best buy.

get paid severance if they were fired - it's likely them "retiring" saves the company money overall.

Typically that is true but at this level executives have contracts with non-compete clauses and as part of that even voluntary departures usually come with a severence, since they aren't allowed to work in the industry for 6-12 months after leaving (unless they negotiate something as part of their departure). It's very likely he got a generous payout.

It's seen as a necessity for protecting intellectual property and company knowledge that the leaders take with them when they leave. It's why so many execs start their own businesses after leaving big companies but don't officially open shop for a while.

(based on family status)

I'm all for unions, but identifying layoff targets based on these things seems like a sure way for the system to get abused. Single people and people without kids get stuck filling in for people with families already-taking layoffs for them is asking a lot.

Definitely agree on the spirit of your comment though- unionizing is pretty much always a good idea.

Such an amazing speech. Only works coming from Dennis Leary.

I've been seeing this over the past few weeks and feel like the story changes a bit each time. First it was AOG had vanished and nobody could find any trace of them now they are in front of a London judge. Last time Southwest had found the issue and raised the alarm after making routine checks on inventory, not FAA and EU counterparts notified airlines to check their records. More and more airlines are finding mystery parts on their planes and not disclosing details.

Just a weird story that seems to be getting murkier with every re-telling. I hope some larger investigation clears all of it up.

I can't upvote FNV enough. I would LOVE a modern version, especially if they could incorporate some of the mods that add new areas and questlines.

Sit on any corporate meeting and you'll see live confirmation of this phenomenon.

Well hell, while we're all wishing, let's just throw in a request for a Fallout New Vegas remaster. I would pay uncountable money for a version that I didn't have to mod like crazy to make functional. Not holding my breath though.

Excited for some more content in this game, but sounds like it's not much. Will wait to see how much it is before buying.

That will probably be my next purchase. I'm excited yo try it!

Stairs and inclines, like steep hills and tiered seating. We can't sit in the cheap seats at sporting events because I constantly feel like I'm going to fall and I get anxiety attacks. Stairs and escalators are bad too, but I've gotten much better with those over the years (can't exactly avoid them in most cases).

I have a 2 story house with a basement, and even going downstairs in my own home can sometimes be hard.

Yes let's call this what it is. Also we should remove Beetlejuice from this whole thing and not tarnish a good movie/show franchise.

I never understood the love for Spotify. It's always felt so much more commercial to me. I've had a pandora acct for about 10 years now and I love it. Ad-free is awesome and I can just skip over the artist spotlights and sponsored stuff.

It's from the Netflix show I think you should leave. Pretty funny stuff but lots of random, awkward and cringe moment humor.

Well if you're going to make a time machine out of a car, why not do it with some STYLE

I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.

I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.

If he was working in signals analysis he was likely cleared at the secret or top secret levels and could have very easily leveraged his experience into a super lucrative job in intelligence work or communications after his military service. This sentence and the discharge from service has probably eliminated the chances of that.

This is very accurate. I worked 5 years in a BH Insurance company. We saw shitty providers all the time, and we were constantly having to play the game of deciding how much we (and our members) could tolerate before cutting the providers out of the network. Cutting too many providers doesn't correct bad actors or replace providers for people who need them and can cause backlogs if other providers aren't available to take on their patients.

The only thing we were able to do to correct many providers by changing their pay to a value based model, so providers would get paid more for better outcomes (and sometimes only paid when patients improve). It would increase pay a lot over standard rates. But providers fought that big time. They just wanted to do things their way and cash a check of a set amount with little or no oversight.

Better help is used by providers as a way to supplement their income, and they typically pay a bit less than conventional appointments because of the digital channels. However, Ive heard they have some issues with data security on their platform and their matching system is pretty flawed due to their network being somewhat ephemeral.

If you do want to seek therapy, remember you have multiple ways to get it covered. Your health insurance probably has some coverage, and your employer (in the US) likely has an EAP program which will have coverage for therapy for at least a few sessions (typically 3-12) sessions. It's worth looking into that before paying out of pocket.
