Always! And I have those super sized insulated grocery bags so I can usually carry everything with both hands once I’m done checking out. So I just return my cart back in at the door and macho walk out of the store. 😤

Yeah, sonic wears shoes. That’s not normal for a hedgehog

It’s more like “Slapping on the wrist isn’t helping.” The Alex Jones bankruptcy is the first time I’ve seen anyone fined significantly to the point of it mattering. Fines are meant to be significant enough that the company would do its best to avoid them. If the fine is palpable, then it’s just the cost of doing business.

I think I just busted a nut

And then there’s that miraculous time you do get ready in 15 minutes, allowing yourself to believe you could achieve that again on purpose.

Firefox has a button that shows up in the url that kind of turns the webpage into an e-book-esque view that pops up for most articles (especially Pay Wall)

What are the icons to the left and right of Linux penguin?

Hey now, some of those Honda Civics are a menace too!

The point of Salary is so they don’t have to pay for overtime. The slave labor is the purpose, forcing people to work more than 8 is just a nice little cherry on top ☺️.

Eggnog is actually what is erasing my progress and I am okay with it 😤

Edit: I can’t spell

I use Megalodon as my Mastodon client and Sync as my Lemmy client right now. Does anybody know of any clients which work for both Lemmy and Mastodon at the same time on Android?

Alternatively, any good Kbin clients? 😊

What about a streaming service that has only season 3 and season 5 for a 6 season show??? 😎

That’s about $105k in today’s dollars.

You know, typical middle class income. /s

Was it you? Did you make this?? 🧐🧐

Yeah I have no idea where this idea came from because it simply isn’t true in other countries if you are from the US.

Sure, modern rail starts falling short when you start doing long distances like from New York to Los Angeles.

However, for medium long distances, this is absolutely false.

Distance wise, a trip from Beijing to Shanghai is comparable to Chicago to New York or about 100 miles short compared to Dallas to Chicago.

Sure, a flight does that same distance in 2hrs 18minuties on average.

But compare that to the train cost only being $30 and showing up every 30 minutes as opposed to 4 times that amount for a plane ticket. If you miss that plane as well, then you’re SOL so you better show up to the airport two hours early according to the FAA!

No, I’m not some user from hex bear simping over China either. The sleeper car I was referring to was from Paris to Venice. Was like $70 for two. Departed at night, went to sleep, and woke up in the morning to keep enjoying my vacation. Sure, not as fast as the Chinese train, but this European train is also dated compared to that bullet train, plus there are way more mountains to traverse in this route. And it was absolutely lovely as opposed to playing $500 per ticket for a flight to the same destination.

A proper bullet train setup in the US, especially through the Midwest, not only would make travel cheaper, but you’d make rural towns more attractive to live in if a 2 -> 4 hour drive to the closest big city turns into a 30 minute train trip.

As someone who has taken a private flight provided through work, and rode on a fancy sleeper cabin on a train, trains are 1000x more enjoyable. It’s honestly really saddening we’ve let our rail system get this bad compared to other countries.

You don’t love acres of pavement just sitting there taking up space and providing no value??? How can you not appreciate beauty??? /s

I’m kind of surprised nobody said Kia (and for that matter, Hyundai) yet?

JD Power has ranked Kia in the top 3 in dependability for the past few years and gave them the #1 spot last year. They also have a 10yr/100k mile warranty so theoretically they’ll survive for a very long time.

They do have a bad wrap with the car thefts going on, but that issue is addressed with their newer models. I do suppose though that to a dumb “thrill seeker” that doesn’t mean you’re immune to attempted thefts.

I 100% agree there are people in management who just like to have a sense of power over people, but there are big corporations losing money over real-estate.

For starters, if you’re a firm who owns a lot of rental office space, you’re losing money on the businesses not renewing their license (which I’m not saying this is a bad thing).

Then, you have the huge corporate business who have a huge amount of office space which they own. A company in my city JUST finished a $250-million expansion onto their HQ right as COVID hit. That same land area is in a central location and was even being highly considered for high density housing before the company bought the land. The parking lot for the new building never gets more than half full. Fuck 'em.

Just let those leases expire when they do

The companies losing money are the huge companies who don’t lease from what I’ve seen.
