That sounds very different than my memory of MUDs. The ones I remember were much more a text-based version of "World of Warcraft" or other similar MMOs where you navigate through a world, complete quests, etc. You could chat with

How would this solve the British Columbia issue as described in the article?

Even if you're renting, it's worth keeping an eye on the humidity and setting up dehumidifiers if it's consistently getting high.

> I read a few years ago about a teacher (I think highschool) who put his lectures on YouTube for students to view in their own time and then used the in class hours for interaction, questions, tests. That seems like a smart approach. It

Pittsburgh International Airport had a program like this for a few years, but it was suspended during Covid and never came back.

I've not worked at Meta, but I was at a similar scale of company for 2 years before being let go. Once you factor in RSUs, they essentially paid double what I've ever made anywhere else. Knowing how volatile those sorts of positio

The sun still. It's just that that side never points towards the earth, but it still gets sunlight. Same as how the side we see isn't fully lit except during a full moon.

I read this as "accepting a risk of death in exchange for getting to have the incredible experience of flying to the Moon", not that they want to die.

Do tokens just cover ongoing operating costs, or are they also able to pay back the cost of training that model originally?

Plus you save money on the conductors running to the lights.

Could a chip detect this and reset?

First time around, luck mostly. Happened to get hired by a company that switched to this schedule. I eventually left for higher pay (but gave up my Fridays). Eventually got laid off, and a friend who was still there managed to get me a spot

I've been working 4/10 schedule (4 days, but 10 hours/day, so I still work 40 hours). It's a HUGE perk, and is the biggest thing keeping me at my current job.

Sounds like the license plate readers basically are stalking out homes though.

You could look at it either way. I couldn't say which system the dinosaurs actually used.

A few Mbps would be nice - fast enough to make the modern web mostly usable. 256 Kbps is almost the same as not working at all.

Especially in Europe! They shouldn't be forcing you to run an OS from an American company.

Noise from neighbors is the biggest thing that drove me to move to a single-family home.

I'd have it renew Monday and Thursday to avoid weekend outages.

I don't see how this would bypass the need for a warrant. It'd allow for picking the lock rather than breaking it when you _do_ have a warrant (and whoever has the key isn't available or isn't cooperating).

I could potentially see value in a car with a smaller built-in battery for use around town, and an empty space for a larger battery, that you rent from swap stations for longer road trips. Of course, that doesn't work with anything on

How is "extraordinary ability" defined? At what point does an influencer or OF model (or a traditional actor for that matter) have enough "extortionary ability" to get the visa?

Not to mention that managers are way more likely to have back-to-back meetings.

> 1. Winner takes all. You may have been voted by 50% + 1 (even less) citizens but the other half is totally not represented like in a parliament. I agree with your argument in general, but couldn't this still happen with a parliame

"Check" is the US spelling, and I still see them often enough here.

It's the ability to take a picture of a check and deposit it into your account that way, vs having to take the check to an actual branch of a bank. Here in the US, I still get checks frequently enough that it's nice to have.

That probably means giving up the ability to mobile deposit checks - every bank I've ever had only allows that through their app.

Given that money is fungible, SNAP could in theory be replaced by a direct cash payment with no strings attached. This would also have the benefit of reducing overhead costs.

by phantom784 8mo ago
I think it could be argued either way. There's plenty of non-food necessities (toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, etc.) that aren't covered by SNAP.
