Is there anything worth watching on Netflix any more?
I was in on the $6.99 forever until it wasn’t. Then the content became pretty spartan apart from Stranger Things. I haven’t had it for a long time.
How much is it these days? $20? $30?
Why are people still using chrome? I don’t think anyone in this house had it past 2012.
Consider the luffa next. It’s a squash of sorts that grows on a vine. The inner matrix of the large zucchini looking fruits is the luffa sponge. Zone 10.
I’m too old to be able to answer that correctly.
This isn’t just an Anon problem anymore. My partner is a supervisor and he keeps having to have conversations with the 25 and younger crowd about showering, wearing clean clothes, and either wearing deodorant or coming up with other solutions for working in an environment with other people present. Men and women, 18-25.
No, the regular Scrabble app. There are solo games, but mostly one on one games with strangers. And a speed competition more in keeping with real life play.
EA originally owned it. I bought it for $5 back on the first iPhone. Limited to banner ads. Then it died, because it was sold. Now it’s ScrabbleGO. The same with some eyeroll garbage for collecting new tile skins and a store for new skins and some pay to play. If that wasn’t bad enough, every time you take a turn, an ad plays after. Banners included as well. It’s unplayable in its current state.
The closest approximation would be words with friends. Also riddled with ads, triggered to play every 1-2 turns. Also unplayable. Also in addition to banner ads.
Scrabble is officially dead outside of real life play on a physical board. Which makes me sad. Real life play almost no one plays defensively so it’s just aggravating.
That’s foul. I wouldn’t touch YouTube without Ublock. You ever try watching that garbage without it?
The one app game I like(d) was Scrabble. It was sold and is now an endless stream of ads. Turn, ad, turn, ad, turn, ad, nonstop. It’s unplayable. I had to delete it.
Ad blockers make media consumable. Granted, less screen time would likely benefit everyone.
Insanity. Like cars don’t cost enough already.
It’s fine when there’s one or two high quality. The current setup is to bleed people dry.
You don’t need graphic updates, those power ranger body suits are great as is. Nothing says style like a bright yellow avian evolved alien.
ME, as a trilogy, plays on most of the tropes in scifi. The voice acting is pretty great too, barring the Resident Evil 1 level Liara in ME1.
And then Bioware lost all capacity to write dialogue stronger than a wet, overcooked spaghetti noodle.
Tapped into the comments to ask this too.
If that’s a decision you make for yourself, that’s great. Do that, as the owner.
Expecting it if anyone else, who, in reality, will never be as into the business as the owner, is exploitative. The level of entitlement in that expectation is not much different than that leechy individual you know who is forever trying to get more from others because he feels like world owes him. Expecting dedication to your dream, not theirs, is like that guy who verbalizes a demand for respect on every occasion.
You want labor, then pay people for it. You want trained, experienced labor, then pay people commensurate with their skill level. This means raises each year as they level up that experience working for you.
Yes. This was the prop up for Social Security, immigrants paying in but not collecting. It was quite brilliant. Pay your taxes, fund our elderly, and we’ll leave you be.
It’s about the shape of the people part of the economy, by age. If the elderly are too many in comparison to the young, social security collapses as does a larger part of the economy. Medical care. Caregivers. Families that simply take care of their elderly in lieu of “system” machinations managing care.
This isn’t me being birther about any of this issue, I’m just relating the primary economic argument regarding birth rates.
That said, if the donor class wants more babies, then they should be taking better care of the working class. As is, the donor class is squeezing us to death, for pennies.
And now we have data centers sucking up all the tap water and electricity.
It’s a nasty species whatever it is. We have to burrow with our hands to pull out the roots. They appear to send runners, like mint or bamboo. We’re thinking of trying a sod cutter next.
We’re trying to keep the plastic to a minimum, though that’s likely a losing battle.
The last raised bed, cardboard and fir chips underneath, filled last summer, was so tight with grass at the edges, when I tried to pull the grass out by the base a giant section of dirt 6 inches deep came with it. Roughly 1/6 the soil need replacing after that one pull.
There has to be a better way.
Lawns are pernicious beasts that keep trying to take back the spaces we try to carve out for garden and food.
It’s worse than hedge bindweed and I don’t know what to do about it.
Producing instead of consuming helps. Not the world, but the angst.
