I had an annoying experience attempting to play white noise on an echo speaker for the kids recently: Alexa wouldn't play white noise without an Amazon music premium account. It kept prompting me to pay for the premium service. Granted

I think we just aren't the intended customer for a lot of games. I mean, the casino style is used because it works for casinos as well. I'd rather just drink while watching sports in the comfortable leather chairs than playing slo

I gave up on plants versus zombies 2 quickly when it became obvious the game was just prompting me to spend money at every turn. Granted, some people say this was mitigated eventually. I think games where you have an option to pay for dlc a

I was happy I played Firewatch but was a bit let down by the ending. It's like the story bent over backwards to prevent you from meeting anyone because it just wasn't in the game design.

From the central point of the article, certainly prices are going up, but a lot of us think of quality dropping when we see the title. I'd be surprised if many people think Whole Foods has maintained its image since being bought out.

Having basically no overhead for customer service, human resources, benefits etc will certainly cut costs for all parties. It's also the definition of a race to the bottom. Cutting costs in shipping and having your drivers entirely man

An ac filter is pretty gray after just a few months. Granted this will take longer to get dirty but I suspect it will look ugly before you know it.

A great concept of Texas holdem is that of chasing the pot: calling when the odds aren't in your favor. In other words, just because you've come this far it doesn't mean you have to keep putting money towards a hand you'

While I like a lot of the people you mentioned, I think an issue with them is they don't create enough original news and comment more on why existing news sucks. (Which it does) Greenwald might be an exception though.

If this system is anonymous, why can't the officers simply not give cards to people who already hate them and maybe file some fake reviews as needed to boost their metrics?

While it pays less I don't think I'd ever state that it's "lower tier". If QA is an integral part of your process, that the customer pays for, then you don't disparage people doing the necessary work.

I think QA is inherently unpopular. "Oh God are you really going to make me document this before you sign off???"

It's hard to post to a platform when you know whatever you say that's controversial, or even whatever you say that becomes controversial, will follow you the rest of your life.

The status quo was never to attempt remote work by default as much as to get employees to be productive even when they're at home, on vacation, when there's bad weather etc. I agree that the technology have fundamentally changed a

It doesn't sound like you're a loser at all. Granted, it isn't the purpose of your post, but I was wondering if outside of the work situation you have enough interests and are seeing anyone. For me at least, getting my love l

I suppose you're saying that only the "whales" get the new systems. I would think it means less disposable income for whoever gets the newer systems. Also, nobody will actively be playing them and spending money on microtrans

The steam deck has a queue system as well of course. While there's a risk that the buyer doesn't see the notification email that it's ready, the fact that you generally know that you'll get one within a year is very nice

I would think it would be in the retailers best interest to require an online account in order to sell a console as well. Scalpers don't stock up on physical games unless they're limited edition. It's in the retailers' b

I will note that Harvard extension school weeds out prospective students based on whether they get a 3.0, and they will kick you out if you fail to maintain that gpa. So at least part of the university's grades have a hard floor that p

Is this more about ivy league schools being the most prestigious or is it about finance and law fields causing a brain drain of the smartest people in the country?

I think doing your part in driving a smaller vehicle works until you adopt the soccer mom mentality. That is, there are a lot of other trucks and SUVs on the road. So you look at the risk of being in a sedan that crashes into a heavier vehi

A partial problem about cpi, as the article discusses, is that it's about what's consumed. So it's primarily beneficial for people living paycheck to paycheck and less beneficial for people trying to sort out the harder-to-co
