You have to have the frosting. There’s so little filling that you can’t taste it, but you need something on the cardboard

I’ll have to keep that in mind: I get a craving for pop tarts every 6 months ago. I never understood it because it’s so much worse than my memory and they are just not edible. I’d rather eat the box.

Next time I’ll have to see whether there is a generic

Don’t remind me …. The doublespeak at my company …… we had to use GitHub for the built in AI, but couldn’t even evaluate GitLab’s AI because it costs extra

Note that the top “ribbon “ is visible from all of those ribbon choices, while the content pane stuff, like the “About” box are only visible in “Code”

Comments like this are so frustrating to see, as my company goes backwards, moving from Gitlab to GitHub.

Yeah this is where I am. My water heater should have a few more years in it, but I’ve been gradually electrifying as things need to be replaced (stove, car, some heat), so what about the water heater?

I don’t know if the heat pump would serve me well

• electricity is expensive here
• my teens take forever showers so recovery time is important
• basement temps can fall into the 40’s in winter

On the other hand my kids are in college so recovery time may not be longer matter

Compared to chicken from other fast food restaurants, it’s top of the line. I don’t even like it but it’s so much better than ilk like McD’s, burger thing, windys

A significant counter example is click wrap. You can’t see the terms before you buy and you can’t reject it and get your money back.

Every instance of trying to set terms after purchase should be unenforceable in any just society

That’s the argument that it shouldn’t be an enforceable contract. The company is unilaterally establishing terms with no opportunity to negotiate, which is not a valid contract. Unfortunately it seems to be treated as one in our dystopia

I’m currently watching a video about the Qatari bribe of a private 747 (“free” will cost twice as much as the new Air Force one initiated by Obama and will leave with Trump) ……

Apparently Trump’s plan for his library is to build a huge hotel with his Qatari jet bribe in the lobby on a prime lot in downtown Miami that somehow was sold to him for $10 (where’s that bribe investigation ?)

Finally getting to my point …. The way to control Drump for those of us unable to pay massive bribes is to use flattery, play to his vanity and narcissism. We could sidetrack him into paying attention to that hotel and he might just forget about minor things like being president. He’ll, let’s hire some British royal guards to really treat him like royalty, keep his focus on himself

Part of the “problem” is the toll is too low. It seriously undercuts the the Moroun Family Bridge tolls so the fear is it will attract most of the traffic. Think of the poor billionaire who somehow bought a bridge

You wanted consistency? Sure Trump actually did a few things right his first term, but responded to bribes a lot more in his second

That was our one customization

• normally we draw one, following the rules
• if we’re in more of a hurry, draw until you match can make the game faster

I’ve never heard of anyone playing like that. My understanding was inline with the rules.

• reverse just reverses order
• but that means I can now attack you next time around
• you can no longer attack me (assuming more than two people playing)

So if you hit me with “draw 2”, I can hit you with “reverse”, then next turn can make you “draw 2”

Yeah reverse really doesn’t make sense for two people

Yep, same logic as car brains, same continuously escalating arms race. Fuck everyone else

Ticket windows are always outside (where I am). You don’t even get into the lobby without a ticket

I suppose that’s where advertising the popcorn with chemical pee is important: the movie brought you in, now is the time to extract profit. But that doesn’t work if they’re not getting people in

I agree with the other guy here. I don’t go to the movies often so have no reason to keep up with what is showing. While I know how to look it up, why would I?

Yes, I am an example where advertising what is showing some place I can see it with no friction could make a difference in whether I go

Yes?

Who just walks past the movies and spontaneously decides to see a movie because they saw a poster for it at the movies?

That was a real life scenario where having movie posters visible would sell more tickets, to answer your question

I suppose it depends on your definition but you start calling it as an addiction, treating it as a problem, when it interferes with your life.

By all means, have all the sex you want in whatever variety you want, but it’s an addiction, a problem, when you decide it to the detriment of something else. It’s a problem if it interferes with work or home life or social life or hobbies, or if it causes harm to yourself or others.
