I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.
If you’re stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.
That being said I’ve owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.
Speaking of “paying 10% for the privilege”, one of the things irked me was my dad’s insistence that tithes had to be monetary. Per him, volunteer work didn’t count.
I was roped into running the computer, or doing the sound, for all 5 services Saturday + Sunday, plus practice before hand. 16 hour commitment twice a month.
My day job was only 20 hours/wk back then, so in terms of time, my volunteer work was ~30% of all my work. Yet my dad still insisted I payed 10% of the taxed cash I received…
That was one of many “cuts” in my “death by 1000” for being religious.
Two things:
see if your power provider offers an “equal pay” plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.
Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.
Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.
The one thing is that if you use more than you’re paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don’t get used to leaving all the lights on!
On the flip side, if you use less, you’ll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year’s payments.
Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it’ll continue to grow rapidly.
This might be this earliest IASIP intro gag I’ve ever seen.
The problem I’m going to assume applies here is the same as why we can’t train self-driving cars with a simulation. It’s a paradox; if the simulation was robust enough to train cars for the real world, then creation of the simulation itself WOULD be the solution since it already knows all the rules and correct reactions.
In other words, I’m sure they got their simulation to work, within the confines of a limited, non-paradoxical, error-prone programming.
It’s the an extension for Google Passwords? It’s my password manager for all my devices.
I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don’t want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.
My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!
That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
I might be mistaken then, but doesn’t part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can’t throttle unlimited plans?
I used the phone app and started a chat. Here’s what I asked, and their response:
I just replied this to another commenter, but that’s a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi’s and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.
That’s a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi’s and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.
Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I’m not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they’re definitely more expensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing “missing” is the definition of which qualities you shouldn’t discriminate against. But that’s now generalized into “groups of people”.
I still can’t discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can’t discriminate against “pineapple on pizza eaters”.
Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.
I’m still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I’ll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.
As far as I understand;
A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they’re banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.
There’s nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.
Not really tricky at all. Especially if they limit the expiration date to be within the gap of the current closure logic (min 3-6 months).
Especially “especially” if they made the expiration date a new field, one that offline users could ignore, and navsoftware could use imperatively.
Not too difficult, I imagine. Especially if it’s a default field in the UI under Access.
As for the companies making the nav software itself, I’m sure they’d love to implement temporary closures.
Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.
