In my experience, when it comes to debating the validity of religion, people tend to get far more emotional than other topics. People who are normally level-headed and quite logical tend to completely lose their ability to think rationally. And I mean both the people who argue for religion and against it.
I don’t care much who wins, but I think it would be cool for McDavid to break the points record. It would almost be cooler if he broke that record and lost, because that would be a really fun trivia question.
It’s the casual fans who are bad imo. The ones who hate everything except the OT. And they just constantly talk about how Disney has ruined Star Wars because the only thing they watched was the numbered movies.
I have tried KDE connect, and it never works when I need it to. I just send it to myself on Signal. It’s the easiest, most non-bullshit way.
I don’t have advice, just a worthless anecdote.
I work at a large tech company. We had a Windows XP system on our network get hacked. They used that to jump to our servers. IT had to quarantine off the whole lab, because they didn’t know where the hacker had hopped next. So then IT had to do a post-mortem and figure out how they got in and what was affected. That process took 3 months. In the meantime, any team with servers in that lab couldn’t use them. The team directly responsible for this couldn’t work at all for the full 3 months.
I guess I’m a dummy, because I never even thought about this. Maybe I got lucky, but when I did restore from a backup, I didn’t have any issues. My containerized services came right back up like nothing was wrong. Though that may have been right before I successfully hosted my own (now defunct) Lemmy instance. I can’t remember, but I think I only had sqlite databases in my services at the time.
I use it most days, even as a PC/web browser connected to my TV. I play any classic games or anything not graphically intensive on it. Anything with a medium-level of graphical intensity I’ll use moonlight to stream from my desktop in the next room over. If it’s a particularly beautiful game, I’ll play it on my gaming PC directly, since I have a really nice OLED monitor hooked up to it directly.
I have a 9-5 job as a software engineer. Though really I can stop working whenever I’m done with my assigned work. I usually stop around 3 or 3:30.
Very nervous for this game. The Stars need to be better if they are going to stand a chance against Edmonton.
As today is the beginning of the third round, and there should only be one game per day from now until the end of the season, the bot is going to be making an individual post for each thread instead of having all of the games be comments on a combined thread for the day.
Thanks, I’m considering not. People here are very unwelcoming and elitist. Even more so than reddit, which is impressive.
Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.
The song “More Bad Times” came on my Spotify radio playlist a few years back. I had never heard the song before. I was dying of laughter. I was not at all prepared for a song that silly.
The 20% is relatively new. It was always around 10%, and then restaurants started “suggesting” higher tips on the receipts, and basically guilting people into tipping more. It was pushed up to 15% in the mid '00s, and then only pushed up to 20% during Covid. I have been called a piece of shit human on multiple occasions because I didn’t buy into the restaurants randomly changing it on me. There is immense social pressure here around tipping.
The restaurants have a financial motivation to want the tips to be higher, so I feel like it’s a conflict of interest for them to be suggesting the tip amount. I think the government needs to get involved and regulate tipping or even outright ban it at this point, because restaurants aren’t going to stop pushing the envelope at 20%.
I live in the US and I have never tipped housekeeping, nor have I ever heard of someone doing it.
Exhibit A: All of Lemmy. Seriously, this entire place, especially this community it just controversy and outrage. It’s so boring.
I think we should rename this community “gaming controversies” because that’s all that’s ever discussed here.
WOOOOOO!!!
As a Sharks fan, I am ready to be disappointed tonight.
Could you elaborate more about why returns discourage deep sales? I’m not sure I’m getting it from your comment. It seems like it is just correlation rather than causation.
