I worked for a place that recruited people to test stuff like toothpaste, mouthwash, and other personal care products way back in mid 00s. We worked with a lot of big-name companies, and one of them was trying to get approval for a very sim

You're not alone. I didn't even bother trying BG3 because of the turn-based combat. I'm sorry, but in my opinion turn-based combat has no place in a AAA game, aside from maybe a mini-game. It's just lame.

Looks like they replaced it with the "smart shuffle" feature.

Oh man, I didn't know they did that. Lame.

I'm not sure how specific you want your criteria to be, but you can create a Spotify "radio" station based off of any song, band/artist, or playlist. Spotify's discovery capabilities are miles beyond Pandora, in my

I don't think bamboo is entirely hollow. Doesn't it have solid junks at each "joint" or whatever it's called? That would mean to run wire or something else through them, you'd have to either drill out those par

Weird Al doesn't do covers, aside from a few exceptions. He does parodies. Parody falls under fair use, so legally I don't think he has to pay royalties, though he may anyway.

I'm pretty sure it was hyperbole.

I don't really disagree with anything you said, but I would suggest that this kind of thinking is largely at the root of a lot of society's problems. Big corporations have become almost as powerful as governments in many respects.

In a perfectly competitive market, yes, profits go to zero. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/031815/why-are-ther... But there's no such thing as a perfectly competitive market.

Well, if you're talking about vanilla WordPress, the article doesn't make any sense. Vanilla WordPress is completely free. There are no fees for adding different fonts or any of the other things you say you were charged for. So if

Wow, you're right. It looks like they are talking about some other managed service. That makes the post even more meaningless since they don't even say what managed service they are using. It seems they are complaining about what

Is SpaceX urging congress to raise their taxes to pay for more staffing? I doubt it.

They're talking about WordPress.com, not self-hosted WordPress. It's not a good comparison, in my opinion.

> This post is the first in a three-part series about migrating from a self-built PHP-based Laravel backend to a managed WordPress backend. This seems like a setup for a lot of apples to oranges comparisons.

If you read the article, it's pretty clear that this abhorrent behavior is coming from management, with the union pushing back. I'd guess it will be an issue during the next contract negotiations.

I just have to pause for a moment and shake my head at the fact that they put a nearly 80 year old article behind a paywall. That just strikes me as ridiculous.
