Looks like theres an ongoing discussion but no explicit rule yet.

We kinda had something like this in Canada, but volunteer run.

Like why even make them like that other than punishment. They dont need to be like that.

I get they’re prisoners and all, but have to hold your dick or it falls in the water seems like its above and beyond.

Stainless steel at least makes sense from a durability and safety perspective even if its always a chilly and uncomfortable experience.

We’ve had ongoing issues here with places including the weight of the packaging. Not as bad as what you’ve encountered as a % difference, but also not allowed.

Think of all the horrible CSAM posts I can flood reddit with while NOT LOGGED IN! They must be in shambles!

Thats a whole lot of transformers they probably cant source and replace.

If youre trying to call me out for calling them out, its not the same and this falls flat.

These are all saying things and the world can and should be better.

This guy said I wont use anything that AI had any involvement in.

It’d be like saying I wont use an iPhone because apple is evil while using an iPhone.

Not apple really needs to do better, im not happy with some things they do, while using an iPhone.

I ran into someone who was adamant he wouldn’t use anything that touched AI.

I showed him how the fediverse app he was using to tell me that he wouldnt use AI had AI involvement.

He’s still using it.

Ones used by the world for all sorts of uses, including the war.

One is solely used to terrorize and kill civilians.

Think of all the ancient heritage in that oil from billions of years ago. All going up in flame now

But now you might just be feeding them without them seeing it as a friendly action and get no benefits.

Plex doesn’t charge to just stream locally so I haven’t bothered switching or looking into switching yet.

I’m pretty sure if it involves the word Russia, China, USA, Israel the answer will always be Yes.

I didnt realize they could just let what Trudeau and the NDP agreed to just die through inaction. Thats ridiculous.

At worst I figured the expansion to other drugs would just stop.

Ya, I have no idea how they are pulling it off and making more than minimum wage… but the whole thing is possible in theory, and you’d know what you are spending each day with no hidden costs.

If they aren’t doing this as their main job, maybe you can sneak a few days in here and there where they offer highly discounted promotions? Or do it on days where volume is expected to be high?

edit: maybe they aren’t even making minimum wage, but they like the idea they can make $40 on a random night without having to be responsible to anyone but themselves?

If you’re allowed to rent the car for gig work, they’ll almost assuredly offer the insurance for it, and not all gig work is ride share.

Depreciation, maintenance, those are lumped into the cost of the rental.

And the duh was about that, I handled the insurance comment separately.

edit: e.g

They offer the rental and insurance. They don’t let you carry another person though, so not all gig work, at least on this specific plan.

Insurance comes with the rentals or your credit card in most cases.

And duh. Thats my point. You pay, and that’s it. No more hidden costs.

Any given day is profitable or not, and you immediately know.

edit: we even have a car share service here that includes gas in the rental.

Wouldn’t renting be the ultimate way to know if it was profitable as there’s no hidden costs?

No insurance, no depreciation, no maintenance, no repairs.

You do a shift and whatever you make you make.

The RnD costs remain difficult to offset unless these companies have sufficient scale

Ya thats going to be deciding factor. Can you get enough users to offset it and stay alive before you run out of cash. If you slow down, and your competitors still have enough cash they’ll make a better product and you’ll start losing users.

Pretty much with anything ya.

Unless there’s some super important thing I need in the latest release, if my shit works and there’s no security vulnerability, im in no rush to update.
