Best is the 3rd shift factory workers that’ll be on their lines and don’t even get a break to watch the countdown.
I don’t miss that shit at all.
But it was still better than working overnight on daylight savings time switch and having an extra hour of work the other two shifts didn’t get.

The only thing that is going to accomplish is increasing profit margins for the people importing the goods, because they’re absolutely still going to hike their prices by the same percentage that the tariffs are set at.
So consumers will be paying more but corporations will be reaping the benefits of the 25% increase in profit margins without paying extra because they’re skirting the tariffs while telling everyone that they have to pay it.

Electricity.
If you lose electricity most people lose access to:
Hot water
Running water (if you have a well)
Air conditioning
Indoor heat
Television
Internet
Indoor lighting
And hot meals if you don’t have gas.

Losing electricity would cut you off from almost all of your luxuries as we’ve become completely dependent on it over the last century or so.

They’re just bound and determined to start WW3 aren’t they?
At some point they’ll piss off another major player in the region like Saudi Arabia or Turkey and it’ll snowball into a conflict that can’t be talked down.

Gandalf woke the Balrog.

It’s an abandoned mine, things are going to fall and make noise from time to time and they’re probably used to it.
You know what doesn’t happen all the time in a mine?
People don’t yell “Fool of a Took!” In the language of your sworn enemy at the top of their lungs.

Now? No.
If I had the choice I’d wait a century or two

apology for poor english

when were you when Reddit dies?

i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring

“Reddit is kill”

“no”

How safe from hacking would these robotic body guards be?
Assuming they’ll be connected to the internet at least sometimes, there would always be software vulnerabilities that could be exploited to change the programming and turn them into robot assassins instead.

Mike Johnson makes me wish God were real. He’s an Evangelical Christian and he’s helping the literal antichrist come to power. If God were real I’d love to see the look on Mike’s face when he’s sent straight to superhell for the harm he’s caused on earth.

Exactly, the phrase “violence is never the answer” breaks down pretty quickly when your adversary is not only okay with using violence, but opens with it.
Passive action against violent people facilitates oppression.

$1,000,000 isn’t nearly as much as people think it is. It’s not even enough to retire on if you’re middle aged.
You could live extravagantly for a year or two on that money max.
If you lived modestly at $50,000 a year of expenses (less than the median) you’d get 20 years out of it and you’d have to go back to work if you’re younger than 60.
If you lived comfortably at $100,000 a year you’d get a decade at most of of that money, if you’re younger than 70 you’ll probably have to go back to work.
This article says she was 24 when it happened in 2020, so it’s safe to presume she’s 28 now.
If she’s extra careful with the money and doesn’t spend it on anything fancy she can live until maybe 48 on that amount of money, considering all income is taxable though it’s safe to assume she’ll have to give half of it up to taxes and she could probably stretch it for 10 years to 38. But, seeing as the charge was shoplifting she’s probably not in a good situation financially and almost certainly has no experience managing that kind of money.
She’ll get used to living a lifestyle she can’t maintain and it’ll likely be gone in less than 5 years.
This settlement isn’t making anything right, they’re handing her a curse and it seems cruel to give someone a taste of a lifestyle they’ll never be able to afford again.
This is an insultingly low sum of money and it’s likely to cause her more pain in the long run than anything.

They have shareholders now, if half the site traffic disappeared (and I feel like that’s being optimistic about the actual number of real people on the site) it would be devastating to the stock price.

Yeah, it’s the area south of Pittsburgh near WV, why is it called Pennsyltucky instead of Pennsylvirginia? No idea.
But, it’s more of a “here be hillbillies” thing, especially when compared to the rest of the state.

Yinz is a Pittsburgh and Pennsyltucky thing

I’m lucky enough to be a state employee so I’ll still have OPERS when Social Security is annihilated next year, but I’m not sure that’ll be enough.

You forgot “Yinz”

When you’re stressed out or in a panic situation your brain will start to lay down more than one memory track at a time, this will cause time to feel slower when you think back on it. And because the “present” is constantly moving moment in time thinking back only 10 seconds can feel like 30 seconds, making time feel like it’s crawling along. If you spend 8 hours at work stressed out, at the end of the day it can feel like you’ve spent 16-20 hours there.

You’re going to get next to no help at all without a location, and even with a location there’s not really enough detail in the photo for a good identification.

People will need to know what country you live in, what region of said country if it’s a larger one like the United States or Australia, but even with that information you’re only going to get guesses because you really can’t see identifying features on the spider in this photo.

Nah I think about doing this shit all the time, I get overly technical with details trying to make it last as long as possible, tungsten is a great idea.

Couldn’t help myself
