They're gonna tie it into a safety component so it can't be messed with. Likely they'll say it's tied to the emergency system that can alert authorities in the event of an accident.

Yah, why not? I had $15 to just answer questions. If you're smart just answer them with whatever and the longer you make the survey the more you'll make.

Phones have honestly flat lined. Back in 2011 me and my buddy were heavily into phones upgrading what felt like every few months to try the latest and greatest new features. Nowadays you get a marginally bigger optimized battery, upgraded camera, and a mildly upgraded screen, however you pay significantly more. The only people I know who upgrade on schedule are iPhone users. I'm upgrading every 5-7 years now and my next phones probably gonna be whatever I can get cheap enough

I can say that for myself it's not really just the price. I don't have space to put a computer. With a console I can hook it to the TV and tuck it up under it. When I wanna play I can grab just the controller and sit on the couch. I like simplicity. With a pc I need a mouse, keyboard, desk, a chair, speakers, and a monitor. I know it can be hooked up to a tv however the tower still stands as an issue. The smaller compact towers that can be tucked have limited capabilities that rest below consoles.

On top of all that PCs are regularly getting releases years after a games release. PC gaming is only superior if the things going to be entirely utilized by the person and for some reason a lot of PC gamers think the average person will be doing so when that's simply not the case.

Ever since smartphones exploded the expectation to respond IMMEDIATELY is out of control. Anyone who gets my number I warn them they'll be left on read for days if not weeks at a time. If it's important I'll respond but otherwise it's whenever I get time to decompress and respond. I've got a buddy who I love we respond to each other every other week mostly. We will even have calls in between. People really get entitled to others time and it's insane.

I know someone's gonna say it but no the entitlement wasn't even remotely as bad with the older phones. Smartphones began putting pressure to respond because it was easier and then they introduced the "seen" option followed by the "typing" option.

It's a very select group of individuals who can pull it off. My friends tried and was sent on their way within 10 minutes. Unless the therapist is just interested is cashing out on the prank it may not go as intended

I'll be open and honest knowing whenever bringing the subject up generates anger. "Normies" aren't gonna join somewhere where 99% of the conversations revolve around using Linux. Jump into any thread and someone's talking about it. Doesn't even need to be a tech thread. As soon as someone goes against the grain immediate backlash. It's not welcoming at all.

In my experience all it takes is a reasonable manager who can make progressive goals that are easily achievable which help build and develop a person while getting them engaged and acknowledging their hard work at each stage. It's much easier than tricking i feel

I'd much rather people focus on the road when they're behind the wheel, thanks.

So phones are illegal but not this? What in the actual fuck is going on right now. We are being forced so many damn ads it's nearly impossible to get away from them. Now I need to worry about someone trying to hit skip instead of focusing on driving. As a motorcyclist I'm now even more terrified. Half the drivers now already don't look up from their phones....

Shadows is them getting desperate. That game had been requested and expected since the ezio storyline when they came for him. Instead they released a side scroller and didn't think twice about it. Now they're struggling immensely and are trying to recover. I really want it to flop to hopefully drive a nail in the coffin.

If you look closer they aren't with an agent. They're liking only getting an agent because of what they said. So many of these companies play games with auto generated messages that to get an agents requires either 100 different messages or 1 really angry sounding one. You gotta do what you gotta do to get someone nowadays.

 

The project entails blowing out 2 bay windows and putting standard size ones in place. Problem is we need to figure what to do about siding. The last 7 years we have looked at siding and have never came across these. I've considered doing cider slats painted this color but it's still gonna be an eye sore.

And for those who will suggest it, no I'm not going to reside my entire house.

 

I'm looking to make links stand out by any means. I find myself always opening them and having something like YouTube or other video services open and start playing while in places where that's not ideal.

 

As you can see it's shiny new and still has its packaging on it. It's was so smooth and quiet!

 

With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don't bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I'm on board with ads as I haven't paid to remove but this specific style changes how I'm using sync now.
