If they were smart enough they would. Keep the competition out of their building. Too many mice running around and the exterminators gets called. One smart mouse and they’ll hardly even notice.

I like how everyone is inventing a scenario to fit the two lines of dialogue and claiming it’s this or that.

There’s no way to definitely say if it’s reasonable or not because they guy could be prioritizing gaming over his life and relationship or the lady could just be embarrassed that she is dating a guy with “immature” hobbies and he may be very regulated about the time spent gaming.

In one scenario it’s reasonable in the other it’s not.

Birders can be weird. Some can get very competitive, not surprised some would make fake images to pretend they saw some rare bird in an area they aren’t normally seem or something.

I agree with everything except the loan interest increases.

Maybe they shouldn’t have a mortgage on a property they are renting if that’s going to cause them issues. Just sell it

I would say that they should just get taxed at what ever the price is on December 31 or January 01.

If you lose money you can claim it as a loss just as you would when you sell for a loss, up to a certain limit.

That is literally the entire point of shares. You buy a percentage of the company and give them money so they can use that money to expand and develop.

Why would I give a company money if I don’t get a percentage of that company? It’s not a fuckin donation.

Yeah, it’s technically true lol

If your parents were infertile than you wouldn’t exist so you wouldn’t have kids either.

Nothing in that sentence implies that you not being able to have kids means your parents couldn’t have kids.

Honestly if AI data centres are the reason your electric grid gets upgraded it’s probably worth it. AI bubble will pop and data centres will get closed down but your grid will still be upgraded.

I was going to skip 5 and get a 6 when it finally came out but I guess 4 will be my last playstation

If it’s something like bacon grease you can just wait for it to congeal and then scooped it into trash and wipe with a paper towel.

It’s sort of the risk you take when buying a property with an easement though. Their realtor should have disclosed that.

If it wasn’t there when they bought it the utility company should have had to at least pay market value for the land.

It doesn’t violate constitutional rights as long as whatever the camera can detect/see would be the same as a police officer. If it has a license plate reader and face detection or whatever it’s unconstitutional because an officer probably wouldn’t have been able to issue a ticket if it were a person there instead of a camera. If it’s something like an obviously missing seatbelt or phone use seen through the window at a reasonable angle it’s constitutional.

I don’t understand the “face an accuser in court” argument. It’s a photo. You argue about the photo with the judge. The photo is your accuser.

No all three accepted offer, signed employment letter, went through a certification test that’s required for the work and cost the company $100. Then 2-3 weeks before the start date they say they got a better job.

We hire early to make sure certification can get done, which is why there’s a lag before start date. It’s an outdoor seasonal summer job usually university students.

Not sure about this situation but I know my company interviews for jobs in order to get redundancy picks. Interviewed someone for a position that had already been hired for, then three weeks before they job was supposed to start the guy phoned and said he wasn’t going to continue with the company for the position. The person that was interviewed late got a call back and hired.

We hire for a short term seasonal job and people screw us over all the time by accepting the job and then continuing to look for a better one and bailing at the last minute, so we have to interview a lot of people as backup options. Had three people bail last minute this year, one of which we didn’t have enough time to re-hire for and had no backups so now we have to try and cover it on top of our normal duties which is a big strain.

I never got a PlayStation but I was holding out for a PlayStation 6 once it finally got released. If there is no version for physical discs I will definitely not be getting one. Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven’t played in a while and then having to redownload it because you had to delete it to free up space for other games.

So much nicer just to be able to throw a disc in and go.

So 1/8 of every person on earth using an Xbox product every single day. That’s unimaginably ridiculous.

So it can let me filter out any brand that is in all CAPSLOCK? or has no vowels?

You can keep cash in a credit card slot in the phone case. Maybe not coins but I usually keep a 5, 10 and 20 on me for emergencies. Sucks to need to buy something and your phone is dead or fell in water.

And what if they give you the reason and you don’t agree with it? Plenty of those guys around during COVID

Well there are games where I absolutely cannot justify paying for unless there is a sale or waiting for it to go on discount due to being super old.

However I still don’t pirate them just because they are priced too high if they are steam because I know eventually I will still have easy access I just need to be patient.

Cae in point this summer sale a game that came out 2-3 years ago I finally bought because it was 50% off its original $100 price tag (CAD). Finally felt it would be worth it.

Never pirates it became I knew steam would provide easy access and an eventual sale.
