tell it to my intc stock price

from a 'young person' in the us of a i say hello fellow teenagers. skateboard as much as you can, hip replacement is coming anyway might as well doom shred

when is this ever going to end? computing is so promising but we use it for activities like this....

this is what im here for. hell yeah.

this is really weird to me. its a fault of the director, if i understand your position on this

ijust came here to abe simpson it about att. may they rot in hell

im hoping to round out this career i fell into 24 years ago in about 5.5yrs. I love my org and my colleagues but i value not sitting in traffic 1.5hrs cumulatively per day, being home when my progeny hops from the school bus, and walking my dogs around my wooded neighborhood (instead say, strolling solo around a lack luster business park), far more. Rto would force my hand to an early retirement from the general industry. simple as that (which would kinda suck - i wont be of retirement age yet)

Hey i worked there for several years during the wendy drama. glad to see people are interested in this sb treasure

i dont really struggle with it. Neither does my family. like comedy: its all in the delivery. plenty of fun and wonder out there, its just important to test for pattern matches

this. generally speaking i remember being exposed to questionable material on bbs' via a 2600 baud connection and xmodem "ui". i believe i was around 11 at the time. i remind/routinely impress our progeny several times a day (quite candidly as well, my SO and i are very honest and frank w our offspring) that "the internet" is both impressive and dangerous and to essentially never assume good intent. sop i had and i made it through. gl out there parents

whhhaaattt the hell did i just read

this was a premise of a work of fiction i cant put my finger on: the protagonist wanted to create a game where the npcs simply lived their lives and the "players" watched. Edit: 2021 "Free Guy" movie

storke and glen anne!!! thanks!

Spiral cut ham is on intense markdown atm. make room in your deep freeze

i would subscribe to your newsletter if you offered one.

if you enjoy videogames... i have a wooden dowel that might interest you....

sensational title, i realize. edit for spell

makefile cackles as it observes the exchange

this made my monday morning, thank you (i am a member of the society you describe however i too appreciate the irony you have pointed out).

Having worked in newspaper (yes! actual paper!) space for several years, my perspective on this is : Everything is gray. For those living around mid 20th century : pot calling the kettle black. For the 00s : EverythingIsTerrible

"Are people mass-spamming applications or something?"

Albert, I must assume this was targeted at my comment to ask for an enumeration of businesses enjoying the model espoused. "Do your own homework" is fine if the objective is clear; it wasnt (to me at least) and I wasnt sure where to start. Thank you to the OP for adding that list!

company trade secrets/pay per use. Book had an ancillary gripe about "nickle and diming" (americanism, think "death by 1000 financial papercuts). A subtext to the entire engagement is that everything is implicitly rented. Here's a non-spoiler quote which (if i recall the book correctly) occurs within the first chapter:

“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.” He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. "

^ That door, was "the main character's front door"

IoT.

edit: grammar

thank you! This pattern essentially disappeared from the US with the exception of perhaps the very smallest and remote locations (public accessible) seemingly since the late 1990s (I do remember this pattern as you have described, just not in the last 20years)

this is insane to me. I have not been to a single station in the continental united states in the last 7 years where "pay inside" does not equate to "pay first"

That being said - perhaps its an "attendant" state? Several states have laws which restrict motorists from pumping their own gas, is this the scenario which you are talking to?

edit: grammar

I both love and worry about this

Brazil is the other end of that spectrum; the intro scene where an embedded bureaucrat loses their, ahem, proverbial shit over a fly and the physical altercation with said fly (literal insect: fly) impacts a printing of "state assault/guilty citizen targets," the result being a chain of events that would have otherwise never taken place. great movie.

oh do share those choice words

UBIK. read it.
