Safeway’s site is extremely aggressive with anti scraping. Even if you simply direct load a product url a single time you’re hit with a captcha. Try it - view any product page, and the change 1 character in the product id in the url. Insta

Is this saying the viewpoint is that violence against the government (capitol police) is supported, violence against local police is not supported (back the blue) and violence against citizens is supported (back the blue)?

DIY wrap kit I guess is a form of options, but again seems like a missed revenue opportunity. Some of your market wants DIY customization, but realistically some anmount of (or almost every) consumer would rather pay +$1000 for a nice color

Does this strategy even make sense? You can charge $20k for a car. Why wouldn’t you add options that cost you nearly nothing but some amount of buyers will opt in for a meaningful revenue increase. Charge $1k for paint. Even if 95% of peopl

Gemini primarily - but I’m using it for help with house projects, landscaping, shopping, etc and not for coding. Not not a scumbag owner but feels better than OpenAI.

I’ve switched off of chatGPT for general use from a kind of moral/ethical standpoint. All the competitors are effectively the same for easy research questions, so I might as well use a vendor who’s not potentially a scumbag.

Agreed 100%. People can effectively never decipher between genuine happiness (or positivity/etx) and faking it. I adopt a YouTuber/twitch streamer kind of mentality - the dumbest little things put a smile on my face and I am in ge

Drop flyers on campus/doorsteps when students move in, good way to get 1 year contracts if those are worth it for you (might not be). Comcast just walks door to door and hands kids routers on the spot.

If American made prices did not increase too match tariff adjusted foreign made prices that logic would hold. But we know from recent and not so recent history - American made prices some increase, even if they are not impacted at all.

The cost of onboarding a sales person (you) seems high for a maybe-functional part time employee. For you, learning enough about countless products sounds challenging.

There are videos on YouTube of people using banned golf clubs that are super interesting - sand wedges with big holes in the club head so they slice through the sand, or comically large driver heads.

A similar feel is pro cycling and the UCI. Cycling is much cheaper to innovate and test, so the UCI is constantly and aggressively banning new things. Unfortunately consumer bikes generally follow the UCI trends so we miss out on improvemen

The article kind of brushes over - 10 or so of the victims are all from the same place but were in puerto Escondido when they disappeared? And bodies were dropped just outside of the state line, which was effective somehow? Seems quite odd.

Ignore 95% of comments here. Research your options for local support through the government and religion. Religion may be more helpful in your area, even if your beliefs don’t exactly align. There is housing, food, etc available to you but

This needs a sample lease and sample outputs - I’ve really got no idea what it could do to negotiate a lease, etc. but agreed with other comments - landlords on my area would likely just tell you to leave if you tried any redlines.
