also known as criminal negligence and failure to sufficiently maximize shareholder revenue! these criminals ought to be locked up for even insinuating that prices could go down. don't they know that whole industries' worth of valuable owner-class shareholders' beach homes and yacht upkeeps are propped up on the ~~mass price fixing scheme~~ fully legal free market economy we have? the only rule is to never betray your shareholders, not even for a quarter! if the orphans need to be crushed for a better YoY then, by god, not feeding them in to the machine feet-first yourself makes you a criminal and a danger to our whole society and you damn well know it!

I bought a new pair of jeans recently, because the old ones were nearing blowout territory and I needed to go out to a restaurant for dinner. I feel unreasonably ostentatious for briefly owning two pairs of pants.
If you keep trying the support route, I figure I'll throw in my general tech support 2c, at the risk of it being unhelpful.
I've had to fight my natural temptation to "over specify" or "increase specificity" when tech support sometimes doesn't "get" my problem. the extra words (like "this is NOT about the emails") can seem like they're narrowing things down, but can instead make the canned response system or the underpaid human scanning the email confused about the context. I generally now suggest "underspecifying" - go for something simpler that requires someone to engage you somehow to resolve the problem. Like, "my problem is that I unsubscribed from your emails like you told me to, but I'm still getting them, it didn't work". Then suddenly, this might be a bug report of something broken. That gets a lot more attention.. upstream humans need to look at it to decide if it's something affecting just you or everyone on the whole system. When they are in the process of determining this, they'll have to notice you're referring to the push notifications and not actual emails in order to decide it's not a big problem waiting to happen for them.
This underspecificity has helped me a lot in getting better customer support. I never intend to lie outright or be rude... I just lower my skill level. A lot. To a low-tech user, the difference between a push notification and an email is not terribly clear. These support systems tend to work better on low-tech users because, well, most people are low-tech.
I have done this. it can be quite messy but it will definitely import the albums of all the music you have either liked or followed or in playlist in Spotify.
I'm not 100% that it will actually organize it as it was originally on Spotify, though, just that it adds the list's contents as "wanted tracks". I assume there's some way to do this but I haven't looked into it enough yet.
It's still on my list, along with figuring out how to get Critical Role working with my Sonarr so I can be done with YouTube frontends..
came to say this. food is fuel, we are merely labyrinthine biological furnaces that chemically incinerates whatever unfortunate matter may enter us. the fuel's affluence is not typically relevant, but I'm a little out of touch on the science, I might be wrong.
as already mentioned, ampersand allows you to "background" a task. but if you'd like the output from your program alongside the loop monitoring system info, consider using a terminal multiplexer like tmux.
on the terminal, this will let you open a "split screen" pane with another shell. you can use hotkeys to create, destroy, or move between views.
Also what's with the really long random ID number.
It looks like a [Year][month][day] timestamp of when the card was made plus some more random seeming numbers at the end. Maybe just random, maybe number of milliseconds since midnight, up to 86,400,000 (2:21am? is that the kind of time someone makes their own ID cards?)
That's definitely not legitimate.
nothing about this is remotely legitimate lol
another state
which one? if not Oregon where I live, maybe another user from your target state can see this and offer some more local labor guidance.
a big part of success is luck. sucks. but it means opportunity can come from unexpected places.
oh no
it's me
i'm the naked window neighbor
i'm naked sitting on the edge of my bed right now after my shower. my bedroom window, right across from me, is open for fresh air.
look, it's my own bedroom. the breeze is really nice. maybe don't look in my windows? it's not like i'm trying to give anyone a show, it's just one of those things in life, like how guys all get naked together in a locker room without acknowledging it, or how airport security people fondle you angrily in ways not ordinarily permitted in polite society and nobody needs to bring it up after. you don't have to look, is what i'm saying. sorry if you can't help it. let's just move on!
oh no
how did you find me
fuck. here we go.
you think this money to help them retire is coming from the government? no. lol.
It's coming from us. filial responsibility laws are already on the books. if you can't fund your own retirement, get it from your kids before you're allowed to get anything from the state.
your boomer parents will reverse mortgage their house, liquidate everything, then come for your paychecks like child support, until you're tapped out permanently. they won't do it maliciously, not directly, they'll do it because it's a "requirement" of properly retiring. sorry hun, it's the law, I wouldn't if I didn't have to!
they'll drain you and keep you drained until they die. if we're lucky, the state then won't turn around and suck the state-paid care debts out of you as unfurnished filial debts.
for most Americans, fired also just means you've probably just become responsible for your own family's ruin. for most of our working poor, being more than 10 minutes late is a quick route to eviction and years of more crippling debt for them and whoever else might be at home with them, which could well immediately destroy other's major life plans like college for kids, moving somewhere cheaper, eldercare, even medical treatments or medication, etc.
this doesn't make driving like this less dangerous or inadvisable, of course, but the folks saying what you're saying should be aware that for a lot of folks, the certain risk of the firing is often similarly dire to the uncertain risk of driving like this.
if you knew your partner on your work health plan was going to suffer or die without continued treatment if you're ever more than 10 minutes late to work, you'd probably consider driving like this too when you overslept because you're sick or something. it only takes one little slip-up.
