Maybe not this particular one, but before everyone was judged and persecuted 24/7 by social media shit like this happened all the time.

I never understood how a huge government can't be bothered to host their own nextcloud or whatever for a couple dozen mil per year instead of spending hundreds of millions per year on onedrive and other commercial crap.

Thank god they're gone in 20 years. Those deep sea creatures don't need oxygen anyway.

Nah, you can't pick who your ancestors are. But once he's a thinking human and chooses to act like an entitled little prick like the rest of the family, then I'll judge him.

Obligatory Excalibur isn't the sword in the stone that made Arthur king, it's the sword the Lady of the Lake gave him. Caliburn made him king.

It's because America is big, so they build in a day of travel, when that was still needed.

But it can't be in the weekend because of church, and Wednesday was market day.

So they thought you can start traveling on Monday and vote on Tuesday. And it's in November because it's after the harvest. But not the 1st because that's all saints day.

If you're on some social security program it could be wise to turn down a small raise. At least in some places. Once you earn above a certain limit those benefits stop and you actually lose money.

Tetris is difficult because you need to be good to play it, mechanics. WoW is numbers difficult because you can buy the best equipment and then pwn the noobs even if you don't really know how to play your character.

Tariffs are not just for new products (new models). As soon as the current ps5 stock of a retailer is gone, they have to order new ones and pay a tariff. Then they make it more expensive for the consumer.

lets say Walmart now sells a ps5 for $400, but in a month they have to order new ones, from China. The order is more expensive than the one last month because of the tariffs, so they pay like 40% more. Walmart will now sell the ps5 for about $550 to you.

New PS5's and other consoles will also get way more expensive. So relatively the switch is still the same price at 600, compared to everything else.

Hmmm who are these people, in Germany, in 1943. Gee, I wonder which group it could be.

Get a few public library cards. Then abroad you can use it to borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free.

 

Saw quite a lot of them in around 2m deep water. Looks like Phyllorhiza punctata but then with reversed colours. About 15cm long. Didn't seem very dangerous, as in I saw no one screaming in agony.

Not my picture, but the only one I could find.
