I think you’re looking at it wrong. It’s likely not that kids are too lazy to knock but that your neighbors are too lazy to answer the door. The kids see everyone on the street leaving bowls out and assume that if someone on the street doesn’t have a bowl, then they’re not doing Halloween like everyone else is.

That’s about what you expect a cop to act like.

Funny, considering someone else from Canada quoted at half the price of OP’s.

And they’ll switch between sidewalk and road depending on the traffic, so I have no love for ebikers.

This is the problem I have with bikes. They want the pros of pedestrians and vehicles without the cons of either.

Yeah but it’s disengenuous to make a handheld to laptops and desktops comparison. When people think linux and usershare, they’re worried about work stations.

God I’m hoping no one replies with “Well the Steam Deck could be plugged into a monitor!” Don’t be pedantic. You know what I mean.

only if it’s missing a specific app you need.

Like most video games.

Imagine the massive inconvenience of having to separate plastics to recycle when you literally work at a plastic recycling plan.

People have said “I lost everything because of Microsoft Word.” “I lost everything because of Wordpad.” “I lost everything because of Notepad.” You guys probably blame schools for not teaching your kids how to laundry, taxes, or change a tire.

I mean, it is? I don’t even use LibreOffice, but god I’m thinking of my help desk days and dealing with people getting angry at everything except themselves.

Games are getting too expensive to make because they’re adding extra shit that no one cares about, not because of the cost it takes to make a decent game. Too many admin managers in charge at companies and not enough artists or engineers at the management level.

Its just the first example that came to mind.

Uh, in this case it’s a single-player, shooter, from a brand new IP. I’m probably just commenting just to argue but I don’t think Baldur’s Gate 3 is a good comparison at all.

but definitely doesn’t deserve the hate people give it.

I don’t think it’s getting hate. I think it’s getting indifference because no one knows what it is.

EA is a truly awful idea. I’m curious if their sports games are the only thing keeping them in business.

Yeah there are plenty of stories of long term losses because people sprinted for the short term gains.

They’re more powerful because with tax they’re almost $4,000. Anyone can make a great headset that sells for $4k, but that’s not going to get adopted.

Yeah I’m not going to even pretend like I’m smarter than these guys but I feel like ever-increasing heat should have been very obviously seen as an exponentially growing problem whereas it seems like everyone treated it as a linear one. After the amount of stuff Year 1 melted, Year 2 is going to be able to melt even more exposed frozen material, and Year 3 more still.

There are a whole host of tangible benefits (for both companies and employees) from coming into work and I don’t see a problem with a company insisting on it.

There’s nothing backing this. Just a bunch of CEOs saying they’ve “noticed” productivity. Which they have to say. The only actual study I’ve ever seen said there was zero benefit partly because having to host all the workers and provide amenities for them counters any benefit that could possibly happen, with company annual performance not showing any increase.

You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days.

Oh, this explain why they say “may take up to 10 business days.” Why do they have two weeks to remove a name when it can be done near-instantly? It’s not like a person is manually removing every single name that opts out.

No step on snek!
