Sounds like absolute torture to me. Imagine how bored and frustrated you’d be after seeing generation after generation of humans repeat the same mistakes over and over.

That’s not how bacteria are transferred. They aren’t just wafting off the turd and going airborne. If you place a shit in the vicinity of a Petri dish in a sterile field, it’s not going to grow anything.

meanwhile, you can get an ounce of meth online for like $200

It’s mainly exercise, diet, and skincare.

Ain’t no way your FLAC albums are larger than uncompressed WAV. The only >2GB FLAC albums I have are massive compilations with 50+ tracks. They’re smaller than WAV, and that’s at max 700MB per CD. Spot checking, it looks like most of mine are ~500MB per album.

You’re not considering the iPod DAC which is higher quality than most cellphone DACs. Also, thinking 40GB fits 10 FLAC albums is stupid. This isn’t correct even for uncompressed WAV files.

I can’t imagine putting this much effort into complaining about someone using their media player of choice. People like vinyl and even cassettes because they’re a different experience, do you write up paragraphs about that too?

Make like a tree and fuck off

“I know how to drive, Ricky.”

“You also know how to be stupid.”

World of Warcraft. Only played for a year back in 2010 but racked up an entire month of time played on my main, not even counting my half dozen alts.

Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) - over 1000 hours logged in flight, countless hours spent learning and researching avionics, checklists, airliners, procedures, hardware, software addons, etc.

Two words. Fuck, pretty easy to understand. Off, really easy to understand. Fuck off, Bobandy.

I see two problems with your assessment here.

1. The gearbox is not going to be an issue. It will be very low torque if you try to drive it from the generator side because of that reduction. You’d have to spin it very fast but it would be low torque. The gearing makes it easier, not harder, like a car in first gear. (Or, from the power generation perspective, like engine braking in first gear.)

2. The blades aren’t running in reverse. You’d rotate the shaft the same direction as when it’s generating power.

This is all to make resale easier. Future adults will never be able to look at a building and say, “Hey, that bridal boutique used to be a Pizza Hut!”

I don’t see this as tipping, more like a commission. If I don’t have to decide, it isn’t tipping. The only issue I see is it makes the items seem 20% cheaper than they actually are.

What’s the difference between a $120 check that has wages factored into menu prices and a $100 check with a $20 service charge? They’re both $120.

I don’t think most modern releases work offline, as in the disc is just a key or only part of the install data. You need to get online for that extra install data or required day one patch.

Shit sucks.

Tsar/Czar is also derived from Caesar.

It’s also your greatest ally. Never had a terrible hangover or comedown? Soul-crushing grief? Nothing like the passage of time to alleviate those.

Maybe if you have a bad bank, I’ve checked mine and it’s competitive. April 17 I did a Bandcamp transaction in GBP, charged my Chase card and got <1% difference in USD compared to the mid-market exchange rate on that date. It’s $90.21 on my statement, $89.92 when I calculate it, so +0.3% off the mid-market rate.

If you’re getting anything worse than this, you’ve got a shady bank, and there’s no lack of competition.

It’s not hard to find a bank that only charges a 1% fee on the spot exchange rate. You shouldn’t be using a debit card (“cash in the account”) almost anywhere. Credit is so much better.

How often are you spending >$500 vs <$500 on a single transaction in a foreign currency?
