Several hundred attempts.
Several hundred attempts.
PS3 had backwards compatibility with PS2 for the first couple of hardware revisions, it was removed later.
Here it’s like $100-140/oz, but quality fell massively after legalization. Like, really, genuinely, the worst chronic from before legalization is better than all but the best after.
It’s not every day for everyone, but I used video calling every day to talk to my foreign spouse, and to talk to my little brothers when I was overseas. It’s pretty amazing overall.
Still have spots? I have a couple interviews today, but I could DM you later if so.
I just lost my job, I could use something to hold me over while I find another one. How’s the hours?
Edit: after scrolling the comments it looks like you already answered my question. You still have spots if I DM you?
Thanks, I’m interviewing at a couple places soon, fingers crossed. Considering posting up my soldering skills on Facebook buy/sell/trade groups if I don’t find anything soon to hold me over. There’s always people who need their HDMI ports or such repaired and no one around here offers it, I just haven’t had the time since I’ve been working so much. That would require making a new Facebook though, since I deleted mine years ago.
Production of commercial robots. Though, I just lost my job and the job I was going to pulled out last minute, so next week, I won’t be working on anything.
I used to be extremely critical of China And the CCP. Used to post publicly on my Facebook and other social media about them. I just got back in April from China after deprogramming myself from decades of Sinophobia, and I had absolutely no issues.
In my day we didn’t have YouTube. Our online videos were drawn in Macromedia Flash. They were mindless and half of our jokes were just about traumatizing our friends with shock sites like rotten.
I honestly have no clue what Gay Luigi is, but I do remember Scarface Mario. Really, I think I’m too old to get any of those references.
Basically all big tech companies have three letter spooks in their upper ranks. They’re all compromised and you should treat them as such.
Founded by settler-colonialists.
Ironically, for how often this dude calls others foreign plants, he uses British language like whinging, which in the US is spelled whining.
I think it is the best Mel Brooks movie, personally. But that may be partially nostalgia.
Yeah Malcom X was clearly trying to divide the left.
Tbh unless you’re moving into the deep mountains, in my experience a Subaru is a significantly better choice for winter than a jeep.
There aren’t even 400 openings in my field in my whole state, I’d be doomed if that were the case for me. That sounds so frustrating. I finally got an offer after sending in probably 25 applications over the last six months and that was already frustrating enough. Too few companies will let you know they’ve decided to go with other applicants.
Sports, more specifically in my opinion, American football, is a tool in the belt of the empire to divide the people and increase support for jingoism and dichotomized world views.
Excerpts from Manufacturing Consent, Noam Chomsky interviewed by various interviewers
Now there are other media too whose basic social role is quite different: it’s diversion. There’s the real mass media-the kinds that are aimed at, you know, Joe Six Pack — that kind. The purpose of those media is just to dull people’s brains.
This is an oversimplification, but for the eighty percent or whatever they are, the main thing is to divert them. To get them to watch National Football League. And to worry about “Mother With Child With Six Heads,” or whatever you pick up on the supermarket stands and so on. Or look at astrology. Or get involved in fundamentalist stuff or something or other. Just get them away. Get them away from things that matter. And for that it’s important to reduce their capacity to think.
Take, say, sports — that’s another crucial example of the indoctrination system, in my view. For one thing because it — you know, it offers people something to pay attention to that’s of no importance. [audience laughs] That keeps them from worrying about — [applause] keeps them from worrying about things that matter to their lives that they might have some idea of doing something about. And in fact it’s striking to see the intelligence that’s used by ordinary people in [discussions of] sports [as opposed to political and social issues]. I mean, you listen to radio stations where people call in — they have the most exotic information [more laughter] and understanding about all kind of arcane issues. And the press undoubtedly does a lot with this.
You know, I remember in high school, already I was pretty old. I suddenly asked myself at one point, why do I care if my high school team wins the football game? [laughter] I mean, I don’t know anybody on the team, you know? [audience roars] I mean, they have nothing to do with me, I mean, why I am cheering for my team? It doesn’t mean any — it doesn’t make sense.
But the point is, it does make sense: it’s a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority, and group cohesion behind leadership elements — in fact, it’s training in irrational jingoism. That’s also a feature of competitive sports. I think if you look closely at these things, I think, typically, they do have functions, and that’s why energy is devoted to supporting them and creating a basis for them and advertisers are willing to pay for them and so on.
Long since dead here. Nothing but scams and data harvesting.
Dude radiation from just being in space permanently damages your organs. They don’t even think we can survive the trip to mars, much less live there.
