I had this problem when I started budgeting/tracking my money more closely. Turns out I don't spend ENOUGH money on my hobbies! :D

The CT sales are <10% of their capacity, per your wording. Do you think Model Y sales are down 90%? No doubt Elon is destroying the profitability of his company by being a public asshole, but the Cybertruck is a fundamentally flawed vehi

Pretty sure the barista's startup dream wasn't to have the stock they own to be cancelled.

It's even a thing in a company as "downmarket" as Porsche. Which is kind of joke, because during the pandemic, practically every 911 sold was a high-margin "hard to get" GT3RS.

Looks like it changed in 1988 due to a state supreme court ruling about a 1975 law. The law said the tips were the "sole property" of the employee and couldn't be counted by the employer as wages. https://www.latim

My Information Systems major in college had 6 graduates in 2006. It had been over a hundred a few years prior.

Yeah, I can confirm I'm getting AF on the points I want. No IBIS/lens stabilization though. I think it's camera shake but man, holding it pretty darn still at 1/600+ shutter speed, seems like it "should" be ple

It feels like things are going backwards. I was never much of a pixel peeper, but in my last few iphones, 14/15/16 pro, I'm regularly noticing the airbrushing of all of the things.

I took my Fuji XT-2 and 27mm pancake lens on a recent trip, after leaving it at home the previous few. Every time, I find the Fuji takes more work and skill than I have to develop good photos after the fact. I too often blow out the sky, fo

It would be very upsetting to most people to realize they had been switched at birth and raised by the "wrong" parents, even though it doesn't fundamentally change anything about the family you love, the childhood you experie

I'd expect a long lens shooting down a series of S-curves (think: Austin) would exaggerate how fast the cars look, but everything else would seem faster in person. My first F1 race was, indeed, in Austin, and the cars seemed mind-bendi

I mean, the new Toyota Tundra seems to have lots of problems with its V8, and I'm not sure people call that _crazy_.

Maybe the public would get a better deal fiscally. Would having to change APIs every 17 months as providers change their terms, constantly having to deal with breaking changes, etc, etc, etc be a "better deal"? There's an adv

Had a fun experience of receiving "EARTHQUAKE ALERT. THERE WILL BE SHAKING. IT WILL BE STRONG" jolting me out of a deep slumber in Japan at 3am on a recent vacation. My wife asks the question on both of our minds: "here? back

Obviously it depends on the venue. We visited many coffee shops on our recent trip through the Baltics and then across Ireland, and were always asked which of 6 "milk" options we wanted. On the other hand, we were staying in large

I think there are billions of people around the world, in every country on this planet celebrating vegetarian cuisine, and this is a company participating in a drive to provide an alternative. It's not a sinister drive to wipe out trad

It's interesting to point out that this has erased the men's "college employability premium"; however, it's still not apples to apples as we're not comparing the same jobs or paychecks.

This. The northwest has been talking about "the big one" for ages. I was in SoDo for the Nisqually quake in 2001, that's still the biggest quake I've been in, and I've been in the Bay Area for over 20 years now.

It was. I was a teenager in the northwest in the 90s, and remember how aspirational it was to work somewhere that gave employees that kind of latitude.

For a moment I thought the "free drinks" fridge had Surge in it, but that turns out to be some Seagram's product.

FYI, chatgpt gave me an unsatisfying answer that, basically, "European guests MIGHT not be asked for a deposit, sometimes, because they're local and therefore slightly more trusted", but it certainly doesn't sound like y

Is it possibly a quirk of your country of origin? I'm assuming you're an EU citizen, and I'm not sure how EU rules work, but perhaps your country has overriding rules that prohibit deposits from being required? Or perhaps pay

No, it's not. I just checked into 6 hotels across 5 countries in both Eastern and Western Europe last month, and every single one needed a tapped physical credit card for a deposit on top of my pre-paid booking (sometimes via booking.c

I'd ask support, if you care. I just took a glance at the forums over on forums.sonic.net, and I'd expect a huge outcry about such a change, and don't see anything. Agreed it doesn't matter in principle (hell, I can&#x27

Yeah, bit hard for me to remember. I switched to Linux in 1995 around the time Windows 95 came out, because my 486/DX33 computer, with 4MB of RAM, wouldn't run it so I was going to be left behind anyway. 16MB of RAM (the only sens

I don't think sonic has asymmetric internet anywhere. It used to be symmetric gig, now they're deploying symmetric 10gig. And the price is $49, although they just announced an increase to $59.
