They will try Luigi until it sticks. It’s critical to the powerful that they send the message they are beyond reproach.

Except it’s not. I was excited when I read the headline…it’s only for people under an income threshold.

It’s going to turn broadband into healthcare as they try to make up that profit.

I took that job and quit a month in for the same reason. I’d rather be in crippling debt than compromise my morals that badly. I couldn’t do it and look at myself in the mirror in the morning.

They’re working for a living, just like us.

They’re part of the machine that sucks the blood of the people. I wouldn’t advocate violence, but they’re not worthy of our respect.

Trump

If you don’t support violence, then you support evil. That’s about as angsty tween as it gets.

Uh…that’s not how it works at all. You should get past that logic in 5th or 6th grade.

There’s not really a distinction due to the CoD airport mission. They both are what they are.

George Carlin hit this on the head. If you don’t have the homeless there’s no one to scare the poor into working.

Well…yea…Ukraine has 60 days or so to win this conflict or be erased from history.

I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case

It’s an excellent replacement for middle management blather. Content that has no backing in data or science but needs to sound important.

My favorite thing I’ve got off eBay so far was a catalytic converter. It was empty.

My state doesn’t do emissions, and I kind of knew what I was getting…but wow…I can’t believe a company would allow that in the first place.

You’ve clearly never lost a dispute on eBay. It’s possibly the worst customer experience I’ve had.

I needed a glass part for a projector, it showed up broken. Tried to send it back and the seller offered like a 10% refund. eBay…after waiting a week (mandatory dispute resolution time) showed up, spent another week trying to meditate, the just said fuck it, the seller is right, eat a dick and your broken color wheel.

eBay gives you the illusion of consumer protection until you actually need it.

But no, based on some of the car parts and things I’ve gotten off eBay…the quality is objectively not better than what I’ve seen off Temu.

Dunno…I’m not saying Microsoft isn’t doing bad things…I’m just saying they wouldn’t be my priority.

I’ve met people that have gotten decent stuff off there. Their clothes seem nice and the electronics are hit and miss.

It’s about the same rate of crap to quality as EBay these days, and Amazon is only marginally better.

Weird…very weird. AWS owns nearly 50% over 30% of the web, but they’re going after MS for a shitty product (Azure), which is at 20-25%

Agreed…the community editions of their tools are solid, but if you’re doing cloud stuff, get your company to pay for it. It blows VS Code out of the water.

VS Code is OK if you can’t afford the JetBrains ultimate subscription. I never want to see a VS Code launch configuration again.

Really? That scene where you’re lost on the beach was at least 45 minutes. It may have been hours…I’d get to the next part, the cut scene would start and Id put up with it for 5 minutes then go mow the grass or something. That was painful to get through.

Eh…I struggled through the second half…it wasn’t worth it. So many convoluted cut scenes to tell you what the last convoluted cut scene just said.
