I agree. A natural monopoly doesn’t make sense to be private in any circumstance. Thames Water is like the poster child for people who say anything government run is inherently bad because only the free market can optimize it and make it p

Unsurprising that Thames Water wants more money considering their financial situation. The state of their infrastructure is wretched. The fact they saved themself from forced nationalization is depressing as well. It’s pretty nakedly obviou

I’d be a lot surprised if Firefox dethroned chrome or Bing became the dominant search engine. The only circumstance where I wouldn’t be surprised would involve regulatory action I see as an outside chance.

I’ve been knee deep in everything people flush down a toilet and more fixing a broke sewage lift station. I deal with human bodily fluids in my work all the time, as do many women in the same field (medical) Shit and piss and puke and pus.

Yes. It’s a combination of those factors for sure. There are just so many more constant disk hits from 8 and on, and a good deal of them are from Defender. I do PC service and repair on the side and tossing in a cheap SSD makes most people

The AV stuff is huge. It’s always why windows Windows 8 era PCs were maybe the most brutally slow. SSDs mitigate those issues but it is so painful to run things on mechanical drives, a lot of which is down to the antivirus processes. The pr

I’m going to have to strongly disagree with the idea that Microsoft isn’t creating real value to players. Gamepass is literally the best deal for someone playing video games, full stop. The price may get jacked up in the future but right no

So they should make it really annoying so they can pretend they’re maintaining open access but still try take something away from a group of people who already have next to nothing? Go be homeless somewhere else is not a practical solution

Not an entirely honest appraisal of the dismantling of US manufacturing in the 80s. Big corporations didn’t reluctantly close down factories, hat in hand, because people weren’t buying their products. They moved the manufacturing offshores

Yes. Obviously people here see TB in the context of a Terabyte constantly instead but TB is normal nomenclature for Tuberculosis. For example nobody ever says “Tuberculosis skin test” they say “TB skin test”’

To be fair it’s not a good comparison. An F1 car is , all things considered, an incredibly safe place to be in. Certainly safer than your average road car in most circumstances.

I am bipolar and can not tolerate these substances. It is very bad for me. I’m happy to let people enjoy them but it is not something I can do. It does bother me when people say that they’re all harmless with no problems though. As with all

It’s both. Pharmaceuticals companies are not an innocent bystander. Everyone is happy to get this big piece of the pie, including drug companies.

100K a year for a child (And possibly an additional dependent, not sure if you’ve already got the other half or want it) is a hell of a lot more than most people have for an entire family. If you’re really able to just hold on to that money

I think the FOMO and enhanced hyper consumerism it enables contributes, but the actual macroeconomic factors around wage growth, etc. are the real problem.

by hellotomyrars 3y ago
I understand the point though. Living paycheck to paycheck making 250K is either a gross mismanagement of finances, or a dishonest view of them. The guy making 250K a year isn’t worried about not being able to put food on the table. But may

It’s so often a services problem. I honestly probably wouldn’t pay if it weren’t a family shared account, but my parents use it and they don’t know or care about the video quality like that. I also just prefer the video player of my choice.

I have a Netflix account and I still torrent the content because unless I use edge I don’t get greater than 720p. I torrent a lot of games because 2 hours (steam refund) is a very narrow window for a lot of games. The reality is 90% of them

The access issue is huge and crosses over in to other issues (Inaccessible public land). I didn’t do wildland firefighting when I was a volunteer firefighter but the other people around talked about it a lot. There were areas that had to pa

Game size is a perennial talking point and some games earn it and some games don’t. There was a phase of games shipping with uncompressed audio in every language they support for no good reason that ballooned file size (Titanfall) Some game

iOS attempts to do this but if we’re following the assumption of such an attack it would just be seen as a step in the chain of the attack. I think the likelihood of an attack via this method is incredibly low personally. Though I always ha

A long time ago when I worked for a middle man delivery service (Before grub hub, etc were big and entrenched) I loved people who ordered a sandwich and tipped $5. The percentage of the price to tip was extreme and that is typical the metri

The issue with Joycons is so much more pronounced. I used the same 360 controller with my PC for about a decade with no issues. The Series x controller I’ve used since then is fine. My joycons were drifting less than a year after I bought t

They are very conservative on what is verified and even playable. But I think it makes sense because to position this as a mass market device and not just an enthusiast PC gamer device. For wha it’s worth, I had random crashes with Hitman 3

0 mention of why the Chatbot is the reason he killed himself. Not saying it is untrue but without anything describing what conversations took place this just seems like fearmongering.

I work in healthcare and could make more money doing other jobs I am qualified for but prefer to work in in-home healthcare because I don't hate it. Cleaning up human waste is preferable to working a higher-income soulless job. I have

These statements aren’t contradictory. The single issue of that voter maybe be the most overriding important issue for them, but it doesn’t mean that the consequences aren’t still a net negative for them (Or especially society as a whole).

How many publicly traded companies had their workforce unionize without protest in the last 30 years or maybe longer? The model also helps make a difference. Starbucks can kill a store to prevent unionization from taking up, but not all bus

It’s all well and good until it impacts your wallet. The hypocrisy is depressing but not surprising. It could also be argued, )I hate the argument but it is true) that he has to oppose any and all unionization efforts because as a publicly

Please explain why they are a tumor? Seriously, I’m interested to know why you think that. I am a member of a union and without it I would be significantly less well off. Am I a bad person because I want to be treated like a human instead o
