typically aren’t paying employees to do shop for you

The employees are paid hourly to be at work and do what they're told, basically. It's not like asking an employee to pick groceries for an order costs the company extra. The employee is already being paid to be there whether or not they pick your order.

The fee is being charged because they know you will pay it, not because it's an extra cost.

Looks like potatoes are back on the menu, boys!

I DECLARE... VARIABLE!

Mine only uses a 4-to-6 digit pin as a password, and sms for 2fa

That brings back memories. I remember playing Spectron on the monochrome green monitor we had. I didn't know the name of the game, and I was too young to care, but I always thought it was Space Invaders, which was not on Spectravideo.

Because 0.2% of all plastics is still a lot of plastic.

Styrofoam is technically recyclable, it's just that there are very few facilities that handle it.

Your average 2024 anime title

At least a survey is them asking for information, not just quietly gathering it behind our backs.

I rejectec it because I was busy with something else.

Some anti-cheats work on Linux. Some do not, like Riot's Vanguard.

Syfy is a cable TV channel, i don't exactly expect the paragon of journalism.

I can say that there were a lot of sponsored streams recently. Often when a streamer enjoys a game, they will keep playing when their sponsored segment is over. I'm not aware of one that played any longer than the sponsored minimum.

They're good for people with mobility issues who would struggle to fully sit down on their own and get back up again, so they do serve a valid purpose. But they suck for everyone else.

Are you sure that's not an ad/tracker-blocking issue?

I've seen this on twitch, for example. Trying to log in with trackers blocked will throw up a dialog saying "your browser is not supported," but if you allow tracking, it works fine. And once logged in, you can block trackers again and the site continues to work normally.

Take my strong hand!

But now we have the word asshole

Yes, this is a pretty big materials and time saver when something comes off the print bed. As long as you notice it before things go awry.

I agree with the Marauder bit. As a boss it was fine, but as a recurring enemy it just killed the pace of the game.

As for ammo, the game gives you so much chainsaw fuel that if ever you run out of ammo, you just chainsaw the next enemy and you're back to shooting with your preferred weapon.

The problem I had was that their way of making the game harder was just to throw more enemies at you. Some of the battles were just way too long, fighting dozens of the same enemies that spawned in as you killed the previous ones. It just got so tedious at some point, and rather than being excited for what was coming next, I was just hoping the fight would end so I could move on.

Doom hit the right balance, but Eternal just overdid it.
