Like the universe got lazy and hit the “Randomize for me” button instead LMAO

Exceptions do apply, things like near-immortal beings or cursed objects may require the destructive power of a Sun and no less

Boooo ur no fun

In my house spiders are terminated on sight. No exceptions. I could not give AF about the bugs they keep out, I’d rather have 20 flies that I’d have to kill myself than (knowingly) let a single spider live here.

It’s got the “good enough” buff going for it though, which is good enough for most people lol

Tl;Dr: Old farts holding us back, as always

Vast majority of the cybersecurity community: “an absolute ton of exploits come from memory safety issues with C/C++, we should move to memory safe languages like Rust to greatly reduce security risk and make everyone safer”

You: “Ehh Rust has a couple features, but it’s totally not worth switching from my precious precious C”

Yeah, but it’s not Youtube making the content I guess is my problem.

They might not be making the content, but providing a platform for video is not cheap.

Providing a platform that allows anyone to upload a ridiculous 10 hours in a single video in whatever crazy resolution they want, for free, really is not cheap. Then the bandwidth to deliver that 10 hour video at 4K, not to mention infrastructure to handle millions upon millions of people around the world is really really really not cheap.

So its not like they’re not contributing anything. Reddit OTOH handled mostly text, which is cheap. Most of everything else like images and videos were just links to other hosts that did the heavy lifting like imgur or YT

Yea YTP individual isn’t worth it, but the family plan is (if you can fill the slots)

I loathe that quote, it’s so much more nuanced.

A program from the 90s whose task is just to run a piece of machinery? Not broke, no problem

A program from the 90s supporting the bulk of an entire countrys economy that literally can’t handle real-time transactions and causes numerous knock on effects as a result? Time replace the shit

They exist, but might not be readily available any more. Ever since the plague it’s been…a bit thin on the Chinese buffet front

There’s only one left within ~30 minutes of me and it’s not good 60% of the time

You need to pay attention to the thread you’re in, nobody asked for 24/7 operation. This entire thread is about businesses that are only open 9-5 on weekdays or some shit. People here are asking for open hours till like 7 or 8 not 2 AM or maybe like a 11-5 on a Saturday.

And FYI, pre-pandemic most Wal-Marts were 24/7, but it proved expensive and they used the plague as an excuse to kill it off. It was their own decision, not regulations.

Are you outside the US or something? We don’t get 3 months of PTO time here to waste, most of us are lucky to get a yearly accrual of 2 weeks. Many don’t get any.

Show me a municipality in the US that stops a non- liquor/weed/tobacco business owner from working 12 hours or restricts their operating hours

I’ll wait

We can’t control our work hours for the most part, a business owner can.

And then you wonder why people shop at Big Box stores and Amazon. It’s not JUST their anticompetitive practices

Because of ancient COBOL code from the 3 major banks that nearly all transactions pass through at some point. Oh and they can’t rewrite them because money “CaNt FiX WhAT isNT BrOKe”

Yea! It’s more like 8-5!

Then they can’t go an FB or Nextdoor and complain about people not shopping local.

and planning

That’s…debatable LMAO

What a wuss

Those things are a joke, have you ever been on Medicare? It’s terrible and are still strangled by private insurances at every turn.

A few years ago, it was calculated that moving to a single-payer healthcare system and abolishing private healthcare would, at worst, increase an individuals tax to like <$1000/yr

I have a fairly decent employer provided insurance and even then it’s still 500+ a MONTH in just premiums. Before even factoring in other private insurance bullshit like copays and out of pockets and a myriad of other fees and gotchas, I’ll exceed that 1000 tax bill in like 2 months.

Even if you’re a selfish conservative asshole, it would save you so much money as well.

But sure, keep listening spouting the rich elite propaganda, you’re just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire after all.
