People generally like to have aesthetically pleasing views with their surroundings. Heaping piles of junk in a yard is considered unsightly by many, and often associated with other problems. Shaming people because they don't want to li

The most obnoxious are the obvious ones in subs like /r/oddlysatisfying and /r/blackmagicfuckery where it's some cheapo product with a staged product video from one poster, then the inevitable plant post of "OM

But how are you compensating people for the content being scraped?

Or getting questions to secure placement for future candidates.

That plus noscript. Sure I usually have to spend a few seconds enabling various domains to get content to load (thanks JS!) But honestly it's worth it.

I don't understand this sentiment sometimes. There may be fraud and abuse. There may also be a material cost to a company whose detailed financial situation I'm assuming you are not purvey to. Someone doesn't need to be &quot

I'm a huge MSFS nerd with lots of hardware and play exclusively in VR (albeit on a Q2) with a 3080 and 5800x. It is jaw dropping at times, and frustratingly close at others. And when I'm frustrated I try to remind myself how good

Some of these are fair criticism. There's a few key things missing for immersion, especially if you're flying low and slow. By contrast though, I mostly fly VFR in the Bay Area in the sim. I can see my house, complete with our car

Watch some vatsim videos. It's hysterical at times.

Unfortunately I feel it is inevitable. They've seen the benefits of it for software and services, particularly for things low on the list of "stuff I can give up in a down economy" and want that revenue and control over the s

Eh, not really. Google's DV360 platform (formerly known as DBM) is their DSP. Google Search is their platform for buying search inventory. Some of the display/video buying capabilities that exist in Google Ads exist in a much more

Your comment assumes it was a bad decision at the time, or that they might make bad future decisions that a new person would not. It is entirely possible when budgets were available certain initiative made sense to fund. If budgets dry up y

I don't know that I go so far as that take, but it certainly feels in some cases like companies had to "bite their tongues" as demand for employees and comp skyrocketed, and now that things are starting to stall, they are pic

I love the survival crafting genre but am so dismayed that the best games have gone heavy into combat or thriller directions. And I've played most of them. There may be a way to set a peaceful mode but it is rarely if ever a fully fles

This comment nicely attempts to paint high earning (not necessarily wealthy) upper middle class professionals as the scapegoat for an issue they did not create. The reality is, the people who are actually wealthy (think deca millionaires on

Well for one, there's this thing called NATO. For another there isn't constant saber rattling between the EU and US.

Gemstone III and Dragonrealms had me at 90wpm with near 100% accuracy at a young age. Way better than Mavis Beacon.

My dentist dropped my insurer (Delta Dental) because they claim they did not cover things as reliably as they should. When I saw a comparison bill of what it would be in and out of network for a recent service it looked like the 60% increas

I'm over 150hrs into it and an obsessed. I mostly fly in the Bay Area. The data is old but is good enough where I could not only find my house, but saw my car in the driveway. There's a free plugin for swapping in Google maps data

Congrats on being an engineer that can do these things. Many cannot and that is the bulk of teams out there. For those that are this skilled, this gives a window into areas they can flag for where they need to help level up the team. But I&
