tens of hours of calls, interviews, meetings and sessions)

Only tens? Luckyyy… I’d probably be able to clock hundreds just on transit and wait times alone.

I think you’re supposed to switch accounts between comments.

They’re scooping up all the data for AI. They rebranded Office to just being AI.

I don’t really care about game awards but it does seem like some retroactive application of opinion on genAI if they used it in 2022. There was a very different landscape and general opinion on genAI in 2022, (nonone really knew or cared.) I suspect the award show made the rule about genAI after 2022.

Either way, happy to see more press about good games, be it C33 or Blue Prince.

This was sort of the argument for it before the ACA.

Medicare for All was the compromise against a national healthcare system, just like the idea of a public option was a compromise with the Medicare for All compromise.

The ACA, without a public option, and initially a tax penalty for being uninsured is what we got.

That’s closer to it. The local permitting jurisdictions get nothing out of approving or denying applications. They get held up for two reasons: the proposal is incomplete/unapprovable by law; and political intervention from an outside entity. Maybe the mayor or a commissioner, sometimes a director of an agency or organization. That’s where any bribery or other such shenanigans would take place. Not the permitting office.

It’ll be taken care of by the new Microsoft CEO: Miguel Sanchez.

Windows can automount USB drives, so a flash drive can get inadvertently formatted, (or something to do with the bootloader, i don’t know the technical details that well.) Point is the automounting can break a flash drive that isn’t formatted for windows.

Switched everything to Bazzite as a start. Easiest switch after figuring out Windows sabotages boot drives.

I may have pirated all my Windows but man it feels good to be off that ride. Spoofing corporate licenses for the authenticator was such a hassle.

I wonder how much is just a definitional conversion of ‘through friends’ to ‘online’ because friends are now online as well.

Ah yes. The most critical of positions for New York City Mayor.

I wonder how long he’s been pressured to publicly express a stance on foreign governments as a candidate.

Antifa LLC stonks plummeting.

Yep. It’s the only real option in my opinion. My spouse’s student loans weren’t fixed and they’d fluctuate so much in payments and started accruing balance randomly. Our homeownership allowed us to leverage another fixed loan to pay off her variable loans. Now it’s just a steady small payment for 15 years.

That’s also looking at just pure numbers.

I was forced to move every year I was a tenant. I hated it. And the fees and expenses of moving weren’t insignificant, not to mention the time. Some places I lived I never unpacked.

But now I have kids. Things like school districts matter.

Stability matters beyond the strict dollar amount sometimes, if not most times.

I did the math. I bought in 2019 and all those costs and expenses were nothing compared to ballooning rent. My monthly housing expenses went down across the board. The equivalent cost of rent since purchasing dwarfs closing costs and even all the maintenance that’s gone into the place. Rent (in America) is calculated to cover all possible homeownership costs so I’m paying for the new fridge or hot water heater one way or another.

Plus I haven’t had to move legislative districts since.

Homeowning and paying a mortgage, especially now, is the single most important thing maintaining my quality of life.

A neighbor recently sold and it is now a rental. Paying that rent would effectively raise my housing costs about $20k a year.

It’s almost exactly the same house and lot. It’s insane.

It’s probably worth pointing out Feb 1 - June 14 was not a single moment of a single event.

Did you even see who the American military allied with in Afghanistan to fight the Taliban? Occupation forces turned a blind eye whereas the Taliban outlawed it.

If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

Very plausibly what started as a FBI monitoring tool which no longer has any staff with knowledge of the program anymore.
