My first thought was that it’s an AI generated photo of LeVar Burton. The comment didn’t seem like “who is that”, more of a “why is this AI?”

Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that’s something that matters to you then picking the “right” server matters a little bit.

For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you’re missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.

I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.

“The Credit Genie app is free to use and includes interest-free and fee-free advances to help you make ends meet until your next payday. There is a recurring fee of $4.99 per month or $3.49 biweekly for maintaining your bank account connection with our app.”

The effective rate will vary, but given the flat fee the finance charge could be huge. Like if you pay biweekly ($7/month) but only get like $10 loaned

Brake pads are also moving away from copper. Little improvements over time

I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.

What?! How in the world did you get that out of what I said.

There is a maximum monthly benefit. Maybe I need to go back and reword it or something, because this totally misses my point.

Ultimately the cap is because there is a max on how much you can receive per month. So they align with each other. But honestly if you’re at the point where you’re hitting the social security cap, then it’s not even going to be your primary source of retirement. In which case capping benefits but not capping contributions would hardly be noticeable, but would help keep social security solvent.

To be clear, a maximum on monthly benefit, not total!

I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I’ve been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn’t happen though and I’ve since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

Hey vsauce, Michael here

But what is squauce

Between my current job (unlimited PTO) and my last (30 days PTO) I’ve had 30+ for the last 10 years.

Last year I used 35+ days.

A lot of it goes to smaller things. 1 or 2 days here and there. Few days camping, turn a 3 day weekend in to a 4 day, etc… It really can change how you use your time.

My cat is like this. He FREAKS OUT when you’re in the shower. It’s super annoying.

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick’s and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.

Combining calorie counting with intermittent fasting helped me lose 50+ lbs with relative ease. To support intermittent fasting I cut out evening snacks and breakfast, which gave me the 16:8 ratio (eating only from noon to 8 PM).

The calorie counting helps set me up for future success as well since I now have a much better idea of what is healthy and what isn’t.

I’ve played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There’s really nothing else quite like it.

My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

That said… it’s definitely not ideal, and it’s generally relegated to similar games like you’re talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

Seriously. I bought new jeans two weeks ago. I went to multiple different stores. My choices were skinny jeans, a different brand of skinny jeans, or a different brand with a different style of skinny jeans.

Don’t forget to throw inflation in there too, which is equivalent to $130k now. Everything over that shows how much houses have outpaced inflation.

And now that you know that you can respect how nearly impossible it is for people who are just starting out to get a new home.

You (and me too) were able to take advantage of the 2008 housing market crash. We need another one to give people a chance.
