Oh, they're being cute with this. You need to pay money to get what reddit is calling "gold" (formerly known as coins), which you can use to give awards with. But one of the old awards you still can't give is the old-style reddit "gold" (premium). So they want ever more money without even giving the minor account boost you used to get, just for some skin for a comment. Fuck those guys.
This isn't going to go well for the Taliban's effort to increase tourism in Afghanistan.
He had it coming.
I like the idea, but there doesn't seem a way for a pod to temporarily move into the other track, which raises questions. Like, how do they handle rebalancing the pods? Ideally, you want a free one at each station for the next person who comes along, but if you come into a station with pods already there, do you have to get out and move to the first pod? Or when you leave your station, do all the pods on the line automatically move one station up the line, making a new pod available for the next person and leaving you a smooth trip to your destination (but limiting energy savings)? Do the pods have to cycle all the way to the end of the line to turn around (again, energy inefficient if most of the traffic is between a lesser number of stations)?
I like the idea, I really do! I'm just curious how they handle balancing availability and traffic.
It may not be the first time this was posted, but from what I can tell it's all been the exact same image being posted - ie, all from one source ad.
Flows from the pier to ... an area controlled by the Israeli military. The same military that's been refusing to let aid trucks through checkpoints, that let Israelis loot and burn aid trucks, that deliberately and repeatedly targeted aid trucks and murdered aid workers. I'm sure this will all be just fine.
When this was originally posted, someone noted that the job listing had been pulled, and suggested that the person entering it into the database had accidentally selected the wrong pay field.
lmao. I worked at FDA for about a decade, was one of the main programmers for their system that tracks approval of biologics, as well as the system that tracks and handles approvals of individual biological lots. And then the MAGAts started making up bullshit conspiracy stuff about how biologics are developed and approved ... :/
The Gregorian calendar didn’t go into effect until 1582.
And 1583. And 1589. And 1587 and 1610 and 1700. And also 1752, 1873/74, 1916, 1918, 1923, and 1926/27.
I think it depends on their form of retail therapy. My most recent "luxury" purchases (aside from vet bills and car repairs) have been a brand new vacuum cleaner to replace my really sucky old one, and a dremel so that I can complete four projects without ruining my hands. Both purchases gave me a retail-therapy high - but being able to quickly and easily complete those projects and put everything away, and finally having a clean house, are both giving me an even longer-lasting high, when I can walk around without feeling the grime in the carpet, and I can walk into the dining area and not immediately be confronted by a table of "oh, yeah, I really need to finish those, shit".
Did I absolutely need the vacuum or the dremel? Nope, their purchase was retail therapy, I definitely did it for the high. But I justified the purchases by saying they'd be good for me - and they have been.
