My favorite fun fact of this story is that the HMS Resolute also became trapped in the ice searching for Franklin’s lost expedition. After it was recovered, the timbers from the HMS Resolute were then used to create the resolute desk that was gifted to the U.S. and now sits in the Oval Office.

SNES was my happy place when I was growing up. I would be beyond happy if it was supported again. I mean, it won’t be, but it’s nice to dream.

Fiddy Men!

I think it’s worth noting that this is the effect of the free market behaving as designed, however no one has risen up to challenge Amazon enough along the way. So many retailers ignored e-commerce in the early days and went on with business as usual. Fast forward 20 years and Amazon has eaten into their market shares. A large retailer like WalMart absolutely has the ability to challenge Amazon by investing in the user experience and warehousing/delivery infrastructure. But often the old heads at these companies ignore improving the user experience in favor of making cuts. Amazon didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a steady growth in their business model over decades and the user experience is key to what made them so popular. It takes seconds to find what you want, for often times cheaper than the competition and in many cases the shipping is lower and faster.

What would be difficult is for a start up company with little capital to try and take on these behemoths. Perhaps a coalition of large companies like Target, Best Buy, B&N, Kohl’s, etc. grouping together to create a large distribution network and app platform with a good user experience could compete.

Just a thought.

AWS is a whole other can of worms.

He found a flaw in the system and exploited it. Although he didn’t do anything particularly wrong, the tools he used allowed him to do it. Yet, somehow he has to pay the consequences and the companies that made the tools to exploit the system are not liable. Got it.

This is a good way of putting it.

No shit. It hurt like hell to even breathe with all the haze last summer.

He must’ve hurt Musk’s fee fees.

Windows 10 will be my last Windows operating system. It’s been fine and it works well enough. I’ve already started setting up a drive with Linux Mint 22 for use moving forward.

Over COVID I bought a new guitar. It had been probably a decade since I stopped playing and suddenly found myself with a lot of free time. This absolutely was the best impulse buy as it reinvigorated my love of playing and I’ve since made it part of my daily ritual. It’s done wonders for my well being and mental health.

I would counter this and say any woman with a career can absolutely not show emotion. They’re expected to behave like men, which are in turn not supposed to show emotion in the workplace. It’s less of a double standard and more of a toxic standard.

Yeah, I was in Costco buying new cookie sheets and an old lady said it was so nice that I was helping out. Lady, they’re for me, I’m the baker here.

This 100%. Nothing will change by eliminating one particular group. End all foreign election influence. Candidates should only be able to raise funds from domestic citizens, period.

The for-profit healthcare system is full of corporate greed and corruption.

Abandon Harris over Gaza is 2024’s Kanye for president. This narrative is being pushed by the right and the fact that Trump asked Netanyahu to wait for a ceasefire until after the election is proof.

Mr Hogan, is a racist, union busting piece of shit.

People I’ve met that actually tried this said it tastes like shit.

Adorbs ❤️

Walz is the real deal!

I hear what you’re saying, but any progress on universal healthcare has been at a standstill forever. Although it feels slow, it’s the right direction and might just be the way it needs to happen with all the corporate interests and red tape in the massively profitable healthcare industry.

So I don’t necessarily see it as a standstill, but baby steps.
