So there’s two different “remote” actions. One would be using a key fob and the other through an app. I sincerely hope that the unlock/lock, start/stop through the key fob is always free and these charges are for some sort of app. However 150 yearly seems quite expensive unless there’s some neat features that aren’t in the screenshot.

You’re still not comparing apples to apples. The people who actually need something like this (not this specifically because we both agree it’s bad) would not be using it to tow just a small trailer. I agree the cyber truck is bad but the comparison still makes no sense.

If you believe them, Tesla says the cyber truck can have a 2500lb payload and tow 11000 lbs. That’s a whole different ballgame than your geo metro which officially doesn’t even have a towing capacity.

Some people actually use trucks for their intended purposes instead of a status symbol.

Ok, now try to do the things that trucks are typically used for in your geo metro. Towing, transporting construction tools and materials, etc.

I’m not defending Elon because I think the truck looks dumb and is over priced, but you gotta compare apples to apples.

Just look whenever you have the time. If you have to take a call or an interview during your work hours, just say you have an appointment. You don’t need to give any more information than that.

If you work in office, try to schedule things during your lunch.

I like how many years ago, the limitations to programming was the hardware. This led to programmers needing to be creative with their solutions. Maybe they should find better ways to train their AI…

This is my biggest issue with AI. ChatGPT is a nice party trick, but how do you ensure the results are correct?

I used to hate having to show my work when I was younger. But as I have gotten older, I realized the result isn’t as important as how you got there.

You can make espresso with decaf coffee beans.

I wonder if they make their coffee more like an Americano, so you do a shot (or two, or three) or espresso and then add some hot water. This takes the traditional espresso shot, which is more concentrated, and changes it to a more drip/filter style taste.

The more moves I see like this, the more I wonder how anyone in corporate finance has a job.

Yeah, any of the trades would be a good idea. Just find one you like. HVAC, brick or tile setter, carpenter, etc.

Ok. Your lenses are cheap. Others aren’t because of their prescriptions and additional needs for the lenses.

The issue isn’t frames, it’s the lenses.

Gotta love corporate greed.

If you are displaying ads to the user, the ads should pay for their access. If a user is paying for access to a service, they shouldn’t see ads.

I wish removing a song from my Discover weekly or similar lists actually worked. I swear I remove the same song from that playlist for months and it still shows up.

This is literally the first case I see in the results: https://www.microcenter.com/product/504427/thermaltake-versa-h17-microatx-mini-tower-computer-case-black

That’s the most frustrating part. I don’t mind watching limited ads. I get you gotta pay for your shit somehow. But don’t give me 30 minute ads, and don’t haphazardly place the ads in the video so there’s no transition from an important part of the video to your ad.

I typically use an adblocker but for some uses (smart TV) I’m too lazy to set up a workaround. It doesn’t bother me that much.

So I’m a little lazy and have to watch ads when I watch YouTube on my TV. I don’t care enough to fix this.

Anyways, I don’t mind the short ads. I get it, you gotta pay for your stuff somehow. What I don’t get is these ads that can stretch on for 10, 15, even 150 minutes. I think I had a 3 hour ad at one point. It’s insane. You should have to opt in to these ads that are longer than say 30 seconds.

I think the main difference is the time scale for their responsibilities.

For your average worker, they generally have daily tasks or responsibilities. Your c-levels generally “solve” the larger problems. The timeline for those isn’t daily but probably quarterly or longer. This would allow them to take on another role because of how the deadlines work.

Not saying it’s right, but just trying to explain it.

I think people used social media (Reddit, Twitter even Instagram) as a replacement. As those started going to shit, people probably migrated back to rss

I hear everyone singing the AeroPress praises, and while I like mine I actually much prefer my Chemex. I like the taste a little more, those Chemex filters are great.

But anyways, can’t go wrong with either. Then you get them hooked on an expensive hobby 😂

Your presidential elections are like the last step in the process. If you want to make real change, you need to start from the bottom up. You can’t just say (not saying you do this) “oh shit there’s a presidential election this year? And I dislike the Democrats candidate? Time to vote for a third party candidate to show them!”

It’s kind of like baking a cake I guess. If you just jump in at the end and taste the cake, well you’re stuck with what it is. "Oh I wish this was a chocolate cake instead of vanilla. I’m not going to eat this cake. I’m going to eat this other cake ", well you should have gotten involved earlier and who knows what’s in that other cake, it could have those disgusting flavored jelly beans in it.

I do agree that not voting leads to problems.
