Ugh well hopefully there will come a point when there’s not actually enough people to layoff anymore. Then maybe the game of follow the leader will stop. Or maybe another one starts up where they start over hiring again, who knows

At first I was confused about the books comment, since most books are just black text on white paper, but then I realized you were probably including comic books and manga in that too (and probably textbooks that include a lot of graphics)

Yeah I really considered getting an e-ink display, but most of the ones that can handle PDFs well are in the $400-500 range anyways. Since I didn’t have another tablet, I figured that getting the OnePlus Pad first and then buying another e-ink reader down the road would probably be the better option.

Yeah I did, but I didn’t have another tablet, so I figured if I was going to spend $400-500, I might as well get a tablet first, and then branch out to e-ink displays if I feel that I want a more paper like display down the road. Thanks for the suggestion though! I’ll have to check out Supernote if I’m in the market- seems like it has sync integration with Google Drive which is really nice

I want to add that I bought the OnePlus Pad, which has been great for my use case of mainly reading epubs and PDFs. The aspect ratio is 7:5, which is much better for reading than many of the aspect ratios of other tablets I looked at. Also the battery life is pretty good, but I also don’t use it for anything computationally intensive

Edit: It’s not exactly cheap though, costing $480. But there’s a sale right now for $400, which is still not exactly cheap. But I think it was worth the price for me

I will never forgive excel for automatically converting all of my dates to some weird ass format, or stripping single quotes randomly, or something other BS that they do for no reason

Have the MPA and RIAA stopped being cruel and heartless?

Now that I see the product, I know what you mean, but man your description sounded so wrong before I had a visual to go off of

Are either centipedes or spiders insects? I thought insects only had 6 legs

I really want to buy from Gog but

1. Their games often don’t work as well in multiplayer, at least not with steam users where the majority of my friends have their games. Along with this, it’s a pain getting steam workshop mods working
2. Their bundles kinda suck without sites like Fanatical or Humble offering gog codes

That said, I do buy from them when it’s an older game like heroes of might and magic (goes back to the site’s roots as Good Old Games I guess). Or when it’s a single player experience without a lot of mod support, like Jrpgs

While I can see the plus side of being able to identify bots, I don’t think the WEI is the right way to do it, and Google definitely isn’t the right company to be handling it

Too relevant, given that uptobox shut down yesterday and alldebrid torrents don’t work right now

I think the original FIRE was much more radical- basically the plan is to save up only like 700k or so, move to a low cost of living area, spend less than 20k a year, and try to live off of stock increases and interest.

But honestly that life sounds kinda shitty, so people stopped talking about FIRE what all the other conditions and it just became more “save, invest, retire eventually”

SR3 was the top game for me. SR4 was a bit too much, but SR3 felt like it hit that sweet spot of goofiness, insanity, and just enough realism for me to keep me invested in the world

What happened? I’m assuming you’re speaking from personal experience?

Am idiot, still use Instacart though because it saves me at least an hour a week (probably closer to two hours after accounting for shopping time and getting ready to leave) for $20, which is worth it to me

I can tell you from experience, there is nothing more distracting than having your manager walk up behind you and tap you on the shoulder while you’re working on code. While this problem doesn’t go away completely with remote work, at least you have time to compose yourself and bookmark your work before you respond

I use All Debrid, and I can’t even connect to the download servers when I turn on Mullvad

Maybe it should be called Doomer Shooter instead

For real, I have not gotten sick since I started working from home. I did get COVID once going to a company sponsored event with 1000 people, but I call that “going into the office”. Other than that, it’s been pretty nice being healthy every day
