Thanks, I hate it. I hate it BECAUSE I get it, to be clear. F’ing digits …

Reasons I unironically want a FUD/STP device; Not that I’ve bothered to be pro-active about it. Even sitting to pee does not reign-in the dick’s non-sense.

You apparently have no idea the dick’s talent for aiming for the crack between the seat and rim, no matter how you go about “tucking” it downwards to try to prevent just that. Even sitting, leaning so far forward your hands are on the floor, is no guarantee.

Up-voted for that last panel, but the rot is on-theme for the holiday.

Johnny Cash did it better with Riders in the Sky

Not because we don’t have Spam, but because we can’t find it under all of the cheese.

At some point, even a willing merchant should offer lower per-item payouts.

“I like you enough to go x over wholesale” only goes so far, and yeah, damn near everyone has an absolute limit on what they would expect to be able to offload in the next century. Likely a much lower limit than you would expet. Repeatedly selling the same thing should eventually invoke “I’ll take one or two this time, but for the rest, you should probably visit x, who I sold that last truckload too, or x, who I had to PAY to haul it away. You now owe me money, btw.”

Think the downvotes are mostly title-realated. but also, you need references. There are definitely communities that are a better fit for this screed, no matter how much you may want it to be welcomed here.

Employers love the smell of desperation comming off of “low skill workers” in their 30s, especially when they come to work to escape the cold or heat.

How the hell are they both wage-slaves and unemployed?

Reasons I keep old installer-ISOs, tbh

Unclear, but they are saying it will affect side-loaded apps, and no way to bypass with Developer Options, so I would assume so.

Speak for yourself. Being choosy with clients and jobs is a good chunk of the reason I work for myself, when I could instead be making/tweaking/re-designing the carbon-fiber exteriors for predator drones for about 3 times the income.

I loved everything I saw of that workshop, except the clients and the end product. I prefer to be able to sleep at night.

These projects collaborate and copy each-other’s work way more than you would think. When one stagnates, others pick up the slack, and when one pulls ahead, the others increase their efforts to catch-up. More potential solutions for the same problems is a good thing.

Reads to me like someone paid electrician rates for every hour of labor involved. Much cheaper to do most of the work yourself and then have it inspected, or even then pay to have it fixed/brought-up-to-code/whatever.

Personally, I’m going the DIY route partially because I want it designed for inspection and servicability to a degree most installers would never accomodate, and certainly not for less than, say, 5x what it would cost to impliment myself.

NET price, the price you or I pay? Not at all. Gross/Wholesale? Maybe.

Sending telemetry where? My phone? My server?

Oh no, overseas might know as much about me as my fascist government does!! Seriously, when I ditch the US, I might start worrying about China, but until then, I hope my FBI/NSA handler and CCP spy meet up for drinks on the regular to mock my shitposts.

It’s become clear that I will require a dumb phone with hotspot, 5G, and a massive battery in the near future. Throw in a good camera, and make it water-proof …

If their peak-usage rates are even 33% higher than normal, they would at least break even like so. Something like a Powerwall is still more useful as a back-up in-case of outages.

Otherwise, its anyone’s guess whether it would ever save OP enough money to pay for itself. The useful life of the batteries may be reached well before that point.
