My Uber eats orders were constantly missing items and they eventually stopped issuing me refunds when I kept submitting requests. I understand to a degree that some people will abuse an infinite refund policy but it sure left a bad taste in my mouth when my driver didn't actually deliver the order, just marked it as delivered and drove off, and my refund request was denied. That was my last order with them.

I've used it with Hirens with no issues other than ensuring UEFI is enabled on the computer I'm booting it on.

You could try reading the articles I posted for some examples of what I consider modern exploitation. Terrible working/living conditions, paying less than minimum wage, etc, and they get away with it because the exploited lack the resources to fight for their own rights, and general apathy of the rest of their society that enjoys the cheap goods/labor the exploited produce ensures that no one else is incentivized to stand up for them.

edit: And that's just more modern examples exploitation, Western society didn't suddenly spring forth into existence in it's current state of being. If you wanna talk about how exactly Western society reached its current level of wealth and privilege I'm more than happy to talk about that as well.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, as far as your first claim people need to open a history book.

Here's a few articles about them exploiting Asian migrant workers. They're both from this year, I can't imagine that the conditions have gotten better over 80 years. Not to mention that with the current state of market globalization, one could argue that simply by participating in international commerce your benefiting from some group being exploited somewhere in the global supply chain.

And as an aside, modern capitalism as it stands right now almost necessitates some group be exploited in order to produce cheap labor/goods for consumption for another wealthier group, and the exploited group is most often a poorer country and the goods/labor are then imported. You're not gonna get very far paying your workforce a living wage to produce things that people making that same living wage need to buy, not with the percentage of profit modern owners/shareholders take right off the top.

It's a net positive as far as actually getting books back. Late fees weren't stopping the kind of people who are gonna steal books, they aren't gonna check them out in the first place if theft is their intention they'll just walk out and ignore the alarms, I doubt the librarians are gonna chase after them. This is for people who would otherwise have returned the books in the first place but are discouraged by the late fees.

I was just reading today the IRS has an outstanding bounty of 625,000 for anyone that can find a privacy vulnerability in Monero, not that anyone is gonna sell it to the US Government for that little when you can get so much more on the dark net/black market

>In that case, it would also be illegal.

It'd only be illegal if they weren't paying taxes on it or otherwise not reporting it for other purposes. Having a giant pile of cash because I don't like my bank auto reporting my money in and of itself isn't evidence of anything.

I've also tried that method personally and have had numerous road-rage incidents directed at me because of it, so just fair warning to anyone who's also thought of taking this up.

>Once, I was trying to decided between moving to North Carolina or Southern California for work (there is a song in that somewhere). Both sides had pros and cons, and I couldn't decide.... So I flipped a coin. It came up Carolina, so I flipped it agin and moved to California

There is indeed a song there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvLjJE7Bt88.

Even longer, personally failed a drug test after not smoking for 4 months. I believe it's something to do with modern test involve looking for what THC breaks down into as the body processes it instead of THC itself.

In spades all 52 cards are dealt out 13 to each player, so there's absolutely no way* to change anything in your hand. There's no deck or discard pile to draw from, unlike other card games were you can draw or otherwise pick cards up others have discarded/played, or some games even allow you to play cards off other cards already on the table.

*in some variants you can trade 2 cards with your partner if you are taking a nil

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. For example, one can express their hatred of a ethnic minority group in a strong and confident way such that people take notice, which by your definitions could qualify as assertive and aggressive.

Saying something like "I feel that statement is rude" goes against the entire point of "I" statements. You are supposed to connect a specific action of theirs with the emotional reaction it caused in you. "Feeling a statement is rude" isn't you expressing an emotion or feeling, its you expressing an opinion.

A more valid way phrase it would "When you say $statement, it makes me feel $emotion/feeling", where x is an actual emotion or feeling, like angry/upset/disappointed/disrespected/worthless/don't care about me/etc.

Is it maybe an option administrators can toggle to be enabled or not, because I just checked and there is definitely a appear offline option on my teams.

Ghosting means to avoid or stop responding to someone. So he's implying that lawyers may just not even respond since such a small company isn't worth their time, or possibly even just take their money and then "ghost" them after that.

As far as school punishments go this one seems a relatively benign and actually almost reasonable? You chose not to do the homework, so the teacher assigned you a mandatory time during which you could complete the homework without being distracted during lunch.

From the details you provided,my understanding is you could've just completed it during lunch detention and that would've been the end of it, that seems pretty fair to me. You were aware of the consequences of not doing your homework and chose to continuously not do your assignments either at home or during the lunch period.

I definitely think lack of reporting is at least partially to blame. It's even become an extremely common trope for cop/law enforcement in shows to have jokes and bits that riff off how useless they are with preventing and solving property and theft/robbery crimes.

Anecdotally I had my bike stolen a few months ago and last year my car was broken into and my laptop/dashcam/wallet stolen, and didn't call the cops because as you said I know exactly how useless they are for that kind of stuff.

Dogs and their ancestor's wolves are pack animals, maybe the sleep barking wakes the other pack mates making them more aware of their surroundings and better able to defend the pack from threats during the night? Maybe even The barking itself helps to ward off threats that would otherwise attack a sleeping animal.

Is there even anything that preys enough on wolves where enough of them are being killed by it that the sleep barking would be selected against?

I don't think he's saying he can differentiate how they say it, rather that given the context of the situation he's never mistakenly given someone a pin when they were asking for a pen, and vice versa.

I use http://hn.premii.com/ on mobile. No support for commenting but for just browsing is very nice IMO.

Nope, just that the western US is less densely populated than the eastern side of the country and that is directly reflected in the amount of light pollution.

Probably referring to total cost savings, not just fuel savings. As mentioned other places in this thread, electric motors have less/simpler maintenance needs than ICE engines and the TOTAL labor/parts/fuel savings is probably where the 1/5 or 1/10 claims come in.

>These savings aren’t theoretical either —- there are smaller scale electric aircraft used for pilot training on the market already. An hour of time in a Cessna costs $150ish/hour, these new electric planes are boasting costs of around $30/hour.

I'm curious, do the training hours on electric planes count towards normal ICE planes? I would assume at they very least they have different operating procedures if not outright handle differently.

Do you have a source for that? My partner got a me some Tiles for my birthday 9 months ago and I still haven't gotten around to actually putting them on anything, would hate to find out they're only good for 3 more months

Once you compress the number it becomes stored in base-256 due to how the gzip file format works was my understanding

Any recommendations on affordable ones? I love my cats but you are spot on about the smell, I currently use the plug in air fresheners when I have company but take them out as soon as they leave.

They were referring to difference between hot vs cold water and it drying out your skin, not the effectiveness of cold vs hot water at sanitizing.

"Bomanz let his thoughts drift. The truth was elusive. Stance would not remember the good years. “I guess because people change and we don’t want them to.” He could find no better words. “You start out with a woman; she’s magical and mysterious and marvelous, the way they always sing it. Then you get to know each other. The excitement goes away. It gets comfortable. Then even that fades. She starts to sag and turn grey and get lined and you feel cheated. You remember the fey, shy one you met and talked with till her father threatened to plant a boot in your ass. You resent this stranger. So you take a poke. I guess it’s the same for your mother.

Inside, I’m still twenty, Stance. Only if I pass a mirror, or if my body won’t do what I want, do I realize that I’m an old man. I don’t see the potbelly and the varicose veins and the grey hair where I’ve got any left. She has to live with it.”

“Every time I see a mirror I’m amazed. I end up wondering who’s taken over the outside of me. A disgusting old goat, from the look of him. The kind I used to snicker at when I was twenty. He scares me, Stance. He looks like a dying man. I’m trapped inside him, and I’m not ready to go.”

>Go to private party on private property of a friend

>Someone who also attended takes picture of party and posts in on instagram

>Instagram harvests your face from said picture

No public places involved in that scenario.
