Good for her, but arguably it's not supposed to be a high paying job. A living wage, sure, but higher than a job that you presumably studied for and required relatively uncommon knowledge seems wrong.

So I guess the answer is no, we wouldn't expect restaurants to work out how much people get paid in tips and match it, it would be a liveable wage and if the current workers don't like it they would leave.

I don't know that your girlfriend getting bankrolled is common across the industry either, tips rely on high traffic and customers with big pockets. Most wait staff don't brag about how rich they are.

Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

Wait, what? Ubuntu spams you in the terminal?

Seems like it's for old gaming consoles that used the antenna connection to work. I had an Atari 2600 but I do not recall needing to set a specific channel, probably says more about my memory than anything. Pushing 40.

Are steam workers particularly happy or something?

That's just the mask he wears in public.

I have a couple of dogs on an acreage roaming all day. One of the dumb shits still gets bored sometimes and tries to chew through an outdoor chair leg, or rips the hell out of her bed/food bowl.

I don't blame them for the cage thing with that in mind, but personally think it's cruel and the destruction is just part of dog ownership. I tag it as "I should have bought more things to keep her entertained".

Why not just have a VR fridge app that connects remotely to cameras in your fridge? Or even better some ML shit that would identify what is in your fridge.

I mean sure money itself is just a token, but it's an evolution from trading goods and services for other people's goods and services, right?

You trade your time for tokens to exchange for something valuable to you, instead of being paid in food/accommodation directly.

I don't think you'd be happy if you went back to the days where you needed to trade actual items to get a loaf of bread.

I'm liking the "going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now" option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.

I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.

It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.

Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?

I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn't bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.

You think you aren't covering the other 90% of the retail price, if not more, in some other way by using that plan?
