The CS:GO skins are purely cosmetic. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what determines a price. There is the rarity aspect, e.g. a typical handgun is only a few cents while the lowest of knives is $50 or more. Beyond that there are &

Exactly right. Why would we want to let the "enemy" know our capabilities? If they're not a threat, ignore it. There is a reason the Allies were careful in choosing to act on decrypted messages after they cracked the Enigma.

I've never really heard the bicycle/DUI connection before, but I've always heard the moped/DUI one, so I can see the mental leap to that idea.

That's really gonna depend on where you live. If you live in the affluent suburbs, you're definitely going to encounter that mentality. I was raised in what is possibly the most bicycle friendly town/island in the state of So

Everything I've ever read put it in the realm of around one to two years, not 6 months. In my case, I didn't even own the printer for a year before it pulled that one on me, and I purchased additional ink for it. That's just

That's bullshit and you know it. I've had about a half dozen printers my entire life and HP is the only one to pull that shit. It's a shitty tactic, not subsidization.

The reason I buy a cheap piece of shit is because there is little difference between it and the expensive piece of shit. I currently have a $60 printer which does just fine. Previously I had a >$200 fancy HP printer, but I got rid of it

Between everyone else fighting for overhead space and possibly having to get up for others in your row, that doesn't sound likely.

That doesn't refute the parent's point. There is more to race than some jackass using it as a means to discriminate. It is not just a "social construct".

It probably does depend. I just did a phone interview with Google. My lack of degree didn't bother the recruiter at all.

Heroin is cheap, pills are high in price. Folks move from pills to heroin and OD. Your point supports the parent claim perfectly.

It's very common where I live (Charleston, SC). You cannot find an MDU that doesn't have an exclusive agreement, and many apartment management companies force you to have some basic Comcast TV plan as a part of your lease, even if

Sometimes the right solution is to walk away, regardless if it destroys something. Maybe the businessman was unwilling to renegotiate or was a prick. I have no obligation to stick with a job that isn't doing it for me. Maybe it's

At the very least, it doesn't help. I currently work remote, and I've definitely had more depressive thoughts being alone so damned much. I've also had plenty of thoughts when working in an office with lots of great people. P
