I've been burned by a major corporate rental before, and will never do that again. Moving in wasn't a problem, though the "Smart Saver" non-refundable deposit they offered should have been enough of a red flag. Once while on a week long company retreat they upgraded their payment system, which removed my payment information not only causing my rent to be late, but they then filed for eviction after only three days. That cost me easily half a month's rent in fees to clear up because of their own technical fuckup. The only notice for the upgrade, of course, was a flyer left hanging from my door which I found when I got home along with a notice on my door. When I moved out they claimed nearly a thousand dollars in cleaning fees, with line items like "trash bag (5), $75 each," which in itself would be bullshit had I not had the place cleaned. When I tried to dispute the charges, the ever so helpful rental agents told me to pay it in thirty days or it would go to collections.

These mega rental corporations just exist to nickel and dime the shit out of everyone and will throw their weight around. You'll just spend more on legal fees, and they bank on that.

I suppose that's the funny thing, I've not had (too) many problems with Comcast. Then again I lost upwards of eight hours when I moved into my current house because their phone reps set up multiple accounts for me.

With Verizon I've heard plenty of stories from friends of lock-in, specious fees, horrible customer service. All the fun stuff you hear from pretty much all the big players. Of course I'm talking strictly mobile service, which T-Mobile delivers adequately enough for me and has for the past five years. Phone service has been very word-of-mouth in my experience, and my friends with Verizon have scared me off of them for a long time. On the flipside T-Mobile did well at winning over a lot of folks I know.

Similarly, Verizon has the best coverage in my area and has begun unlimited plans. Regardless, I have such a negative impression of the company from all the stories I've heard over the years that I'd really only switch if I had no other option. Even then I'd be hesitant.

I have not made fun of everyone, I only pointed out the perennial "flee to Canada" claims in light of the most recent "bad thing."

They're also not trained to fight their neighbors.

Are they truly leaving, actually making plans and the like or did they just say they were going to leave because I heard countless friends talk of leaving for Canada if Trump won and not a damn one did.

Well, sometimes, you're a big fan of a movie and really want to see it. I was really into World War Z so I went and saw it when it came out in theaters, the first night. Other times your friends all want to go see Star Wars together, or some other friends and I went to see John Wick 2 the night it came out.

Sure, for the most part I don't care about going to the theater, most movies suck anyway. But socializing is a thing and watching a movie on the couch just doesn't compare to being in a dark theater with the screen filling your entire field of view and feeling the rumble from the speakers.

In the US, it's reasonably common to get Canadian pennies for US pennies.

Hadn't even considered that. Suppose the results are the same either way.

I'm not at all a fan of Uber, but at this point it seems like a coordinated smear campaign.

Considering the origin of the term "cargo cult" I sincerely doubt they understand what technology they've seen.

> Turns out the other party arguing in favor of Vue had actually never even used React before.

It's entirely possible to do your research and evaluate a framework, language, or tool without having to use it, just like I don't have to go out and shoot some smack to know that heroin is probably not for me. Being able to evaluate what your needs and wants for a tool are, without having to write a To Do list is a useful skill.

Can you cite your source for such a vile claim?

That's not at all what the data is "telling us." That's just your political narrative of the status quo.

IIRC, Trello had plenty of folks wanting to pay money to support them. They ended up releasing a paid plan, which I think gave you stickers? I suppose you're right, they should have some kind of offer, but then again I'm sure there are folks that are more than willing to pay for what they're getting already.

> You can't have positive experiences to remove your bias if you have zero experiences.

Who is to say they have any? You're implying they're somehow racist because they haven't met a black engineer? Just because of their skin color you're gonna judge 'em? Well sounds like you're the racist.

The 787 is assembled in (North) Charleston, SC.

There's nothing clear about it, considering they're commonly held as a producer of top-tier chess players.

Are you trying to imply that Russia is skilled in politics and espionage because they're proficient at chess?

Either Screamin' Jay or Arthur Brown (see: Fire), I would think? Then again Chuck did really bring the showmanship. The TV series Metal Evolution has a nice little episode on shock rock if you find the topic interesting. With that said, I'm not big on eulogizing so I'll steal a friend's Facebook post:

Now free of his corporeal confines, Ghost Chuck Berry can watch you pee wherever he wants. Roll Over Beethoven.

I never had root access, my parents always had locked down accounts and parental software. I'm not saying it might not be more of a slog to get around things on an Android phone, but it's not mission impossible. Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a kid who wants to play video games.

Maybe this will inspire a few kids to become a bit more tech savvy in order to bypass restrictions. That is quite literally why I am where I am today. Nine year old me wanted to play RuneScape, so I cracked open the computer user manual and found a backdoor. This started a lifelong trend of exploring systems and eventually lead to software engineering.

I would love to know what exactly it is Chic-fil-a does. Right now I less than a block from one, but it's all chipper teenagers and, yes, mostly white. This is despite the fact that the neighborhood I live in is majority black, and lower income. I have neighbors who work at McDonalds, but not Chic-fil-a. I can't imagine Chic-fil-a outright discriminates, but every one I visit has polite, probably affluent, teens.

Deporting immigrants who decided to violate the law is in no way comparable to the systematic murder of millions of people. Get a grip.

I'm supposed to be outraged that a company is supplying software to help a government employee do their job in an efficient manner?

> Not everyone deserves to be treated equally.

Ok.

Either pay a higher wage and start paying a higher price, automate it, or do without it. Arguing in favor of exploitative labor practices because you just have to have strawberries or your lawn mowed is a horrible argument. We should not be importing impoverished people and keeping them impoverished for your own personal convenience and desire.

> We don't have enough people that picks Strawberry crops in California or does home construction in suburbs. We literally don't have those people willing to do those jobs, which can cause runaway inflation

Then increase the wage paid. You're literally arguing for a slave-wage underclass.

Against Hitler. Activist against a genocidal maniac. Implying Trump is Hitler is insane and these comments are forced into every thread possible.

There's also a lost nuke right off the coast off Tybee Island, Georgia near Savannah.
