To your point about watching YouTube with adblockers still helping Google due to viewership numbers. That’s exactly why after I stopped supporting blizzard (at first due to the blutzchung controversy, then everything else that happened) I immediately stopped playing hearthstone, yes, I was playing it free, I never spent any money on it, but I didn’t want to even indirectly help by giving them usage statistics, or by giving paying people even a little bit of a quicker matchmaking.

Honestly, I pretty much only use mine for relatively cheap home speaker groups.

As to his voice quality going down, I know it’s been a while since he did snake, but just watching this video I agree. Honestly, if I didn’t see him, and I just heard his voice at the end, I would assume it was a different actor.

I do that with SOPs, part of my job if to create them for a new system we’re using. I essentially just create bullet points, say hey, can you make the following into an SOP? And paste my bullets. It spits out a pretty clean looking SOP that I just need to go in and edit a bit. It’s really useful.

Microsoft is not in the process of trying to buy Nintendo. Did they discuss it? Yes, obviously, any company would be idiotic to not at least discuss things like opportunities from purchasing competitors, but I read the emails, at no point did they even sound like it was something they were “trying” to do.

As a matter of fact, and this is just conjecture from me, but to me it read it like, somebody not in the gaming space emailed Phil about wouldn’t it be great to buy Nintendo and Phil’s response to me read like someone who got a suggestion from a boss that’s a dumb suggestion, they know it’s a dumb suggestion, but they need to be courteous in their response by entertaining the idea.

I fucking loved when Pokémon go came it, it was so great, but a couple of months after it came out, I was going to the beach, and i was so excited. I figured, going to the beach, I would be swimming in water type Pokémon, then when I got there, I was like, oh, it’s the same zubats at home. Never really played it after.

100% that, plus more competition.

There was a point where I had planned on getting a tesla for my next car, but now I’m avoiding it like the plague.

When I was in college, I had a friend from Iran, she moved to America when she was a teenager. We had both an English and a Spanish class (which growing up I was taught Spanish pretty much every year) together. She did better in both than me. ☺️

Yeah. Just off the first movie I believe there are 3 time lines. I could be wrong though.

There’s halloween 1, 2, 4, and 5

Then there’s halloween 1, 2, H20 and resurrection

Then there’s halloween 1, Halloween 2018, Halloween kills and Halloween ends.

Then there’s also the Rob zombie Halloweens, but those are completely separate. There’s also halloween 3 but I’m not sure where that fits in since it didn’t have Michael Myers.

Depends on which time line you’re talking about

North Carolina has a similar policy, before you purchase anything, you’re supposed to check to see if Correction Industries sells it, if so, you need to purchase it from them unless you have a valid exemption (like for instance a medical condition that requires a certain type of chair)

I used to do a lot work with the owner of my old company’s financial advisor. One time, he was sitting there complaining to me about how the owner had to pay like 1.5 million in income taxes that year. I’m like, bruh, cry me a fucking river.

I ran into the same issue with the chromecast. So when I travel I always bring a roku, because that will let you access the login page.

Yep. Some people just have an addictive personality and need to be addicted to something. Eminem talked about it when he first got clean. He was saying how he replaced his addiction for drugs with running. Said he would run for several miles every single day.

Encouraged may not be the right word, but they allegedly knew and not only didn’t not care, but tried to hide issues from the board of directors. Plus the CEO literally threatened to kill his assistant.

I’ve played around with Linux before, but never really wanted to use it. I’ve always just been happy with windows. Without a doubt though, if they started a subscription for it. I would switch to Linux.

That, or when there’s an article person x gets backlash for what they said, but they never say what the person said. I get it could be offensive, I get they would need to censor cuss words or slurs, but I should know what the person is accused of saying.

I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Overregulation is crazy, I was watching this interview by the CEO of this company that explores the ocean named Stockton Rush, and he has the same argument that the government needed to stop regulating so much. I should look him up, I’m not sure what happened to him…

Some people are just really weird, I used to work for a real estate company that has really big storage buildings for rent, they’re designed for like storing rvs in the off season. Rent was something like 1000 bucks a month. One guy rented 3 of those lockers year round literally just to store Santas. Like life size Santa statutes and shit. Dude paid 3k a month for that.

Yep. My work just went work from home for all non essential personnel for the foreseeable future because a few covid cases in my office.
