I used to find these with my cousin all the time in central Illinois and 40 years ago (ugh, how is that possible?)… Haven’t seen one in a very long time though.

In other words, those who can afford it pay. Now those who can’t afford it don’t get punished.

It’s possible, but that is the same thing people say about trump, that since he has money he isn’t beholdened to anyone. Anyone can be over-leveraged, especially the rich.

Yes, happens quite often and not just with coffee, but also soda cups.

Typically it’s lotion and my wife is allergic to Bath & Body Works lotions and has had full blown asthma attacks from a cup being handed into our car.

Good thing water and electricity can’t be used to harm kids.

I have a 3 year old MacBook that runs my local LLM and Image Generator. I read this article from the perspective that the new PC chips would be for people who want to run their AI locally, but I suppose you’re right, Microsoft is going to push their Copilot as hard as possible.

I thought “lol” was short for “Just wanted to let you know that I’m a millennial so you can better understand where I’m coming from with this comment.”

Does it have a different meaning?

I saw once in the wild last week and it was wrapped in silver vinyl. That seems like a necessity for these trucks.

The thing is, the Supreme Court has no means of enforcing it’s judgements. If enough of the people believe the Court is no longer legitimate then their judgements will cease to hold weight. If we ever reach that point then the country as we know it will likely be unable to recover.

Yeah, that’s kinda my point. He’s ineligible, but so is trump. The Supreme Court said that only Congress can keep someone from running, and the current Congress won’t do it for trump, and may not do it for someone running as a Democrat, if they could beat trump.

He’s not running because he didn’t think he could, but the general hasn’t started, so he has time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He’s a proven leader, appeals to many on all sides of the political spectrum, and the supreme court has ruled they can’t keep someone off the ballot, and neither can states, so if the Senate Democrats don’t stop it then there’s nothing that can be done about it.

If the leader of an insurrection can be on the ballot, a foreign born American citizen can.

And for those of us who can’t visit the cesspool.

But don’t worry, the service isn’t changing… they are just charging more because they can.

Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it’s tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don’t, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.

Hang in there… It took me 3 months to find a job and I worked my ass off every day of those 3 months sending out resumes, reworking my resumes, doing applications, having interviews with headhunters (which I’m retrospect was likely a waste of time since they really didn’t do anything for me).

I certainly didn’t want to come off as sounding like getting laid-off was easy, because it was an extremely stressful time of my life, buy I do think back on those 3 months and how I would have liked to have been doing literally anything else other that marketing myself.

And I will say that as a social network LinkedIn is shit, but it does seem to be a good place for job hunting. Make your profile look like someone they’d want to hire, and then try to be that person on the interview (and maybe even the first few months on the job, of you can).

I was laid-off in 2022 and got a pretty nice severance, and my new job pays 40% more. I wish I had known how relatively quickly I was going to find another job because I would have enjoyed my time off a lot more. I personally don’t know anyone who has been laid-off and ended up worse off.

I’ve never had one work and no longer even try.

Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.

I’m guessing it’s CCM=e, though I’m not sure what any of it has to do with morals.

If it’s a credit card then you should have pretty decent protection against fraud from the credit card company. I’ve had my card details stolen a few times (though never directly from my browser) and each time the credit card company has identified the fraud and reached out to me within minutes.

Now if it’s a debit card, you should NEVER put those numbers into a computer. I only ever use my debit card to access the ATM, and even that is rare.
