I’ve had games not record time because I was in offline mode on vacation and I pre-downloaded it, or I just played in offline mode or directly from a game’s executable without steam’s crap embedded.

In the past it’s been trivial to set achievement unlocks and time played with 3rd party tools too.

I don’t see any kind of discounts mentioned either. I almost never buy from steam directly, usually reputable 3rd party sites like Fanatical, GamersGate, WinGameStore etc that I find through isthereanydeal. It’ll show as being on my account but nobody knows what I paid for it and I almost never pay MSRP.

Then there’s the countless bundle keys I used to get that I definitely never played and will never play because I wanted 2-3 games in a bundle of 10-20 that was cheaper than one of the games alone.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if there was 10 billion worth of unplayed games though. I have friends that buy all the hot releases and then barely touch them because a couple hundred bucks a month is not significant to their monthly budget.

I’ll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i’ve used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.

yay billion dollar lawyer paycheck

wow lets poison DNS, surely no one will start linking these piracy sites via ip addresses or create alternative domain names. wcgw.

As an American, I am ashamed that my country’s government does acts of pure evil like this. I’m sorry rest of the world, I wish my voice was more than but a whisper while on a St Patrick’s Day bar crawl in Boston.

In my honest opinion whoever proposed this, approved this, and ultimately executed this should be persecuted for something akin to shouting fire leading to a stampede and deaths.

Actions like this are exactly why we probably shouldn’t have a completely opaque society.

The guy can say anything he wants. It’s not like if he does something illegal that the supreme court is going to convict him. He doesn’t need to ever win an election, he’s there for life.

This will just upset the people who already know the guy is a problem and are already upset with him.

I wish justices had term limits.

0%. Rent when established is the rent for the unit in perpetuity.

Decide to rent? You get to rent it out until it’s no longer worth it, then it becomes owner occupied forever or torn down for high density housing. Sounds great to me!

“This would never work!1111oneoneone” - my last apartment was $1425 when I moved in and $1500 after I moved out 10 years later. If they rent it out again as-is it would be all of $1800 at most… but they could still make money at $1425/mo, or even less, over water/insurance/property taxes.

If the law says you can transfer licenses posthumously to someone, businesses are compelled to do so. No private agreement is above the law.

If the business granting the license doesn’t consent and they pull it they are then able to be sued for violating a law allowing posthumous transfer of license.

An adult would be content on half a medium pizza

A medium cheese pizza from dominos is 1660 calories. A slice is 210 calories.

630 calories (3 slices) for a meal seems about right.

A pan pizza from dominos is 2320 calories. a slice is 290 calories.

Two slices for the pan pizza seems fine too and with their typical pickup deals is the same price.

Though their deals usually give you two toppings for free. My favorite is Chicken, Bacon, Ranch sauce on pan. It’s 2,960 a pizza, or 370 per slice. Right now my local dominos offers these for $8 each if you buy two. 6000 calories for $16. Stupid cheap and feeds minimum 6 people who want a thousand calorie meal each.

Hey Class,

Please show up to learn and get off your damn phones.

Thanks,

Doesn’t that just work?

I still put Mr. in front of my name in my email signature. It just cuts down on ambiguity, confusion, and even looks more formal.

This seems to satisfy the problem. If you don’t want people confusing what pronouns to use… sign things Mr, Ms or Mrs.

When you have other custom pronouns or don’t want one used… don’t mention one… and that should imply to a sender to simply use they/them.

No matter what you choose to do people are going to reply however they want to anyway.

drones above a certain dinky threshold also require registration

Basically 0 chance that this law applies to RC helicopters/planes/multirotors. They don’t contain GPS and they aren’t monitored by air traffic controllers.

The newer regs boil down to you basically have to write your ID number in the canopy and avoid restricted airspaces… and who the hell is gonna roll by and check that you have a number written in your canopy? Maybe cops that get a complaint, and that is pretty rare. The older guys who have been in the hobby that I know completely ignore the newer regs, if you aren’t bothering anybody then nobody cares.

Which democrat or republican with significant support from the political parties would you recommend as a replacement?

Being a worker is degrading.

Being an owner is empowering.

I’m not really thrilled about almost all the money in show business being funneled to a couple of actors and actresses and giant studios/big money.

Over and over again the majority of writers, actors, actresses and supporting teams strike for a real share and they never seem to get one.

Meanwhile big companies get billions in tax credits every year for shooting movies. The public subsidizes the costs and then pays again once a show releases. It’s insanely big bucks going to the ownership class.

AOL still has 1.5 million active monthly subscribers. People forget to cancel subscriptions all the time.

Subscriptions are a great way to sell a service to someone who isn’t using it, and when they want to cancel it getting the spent money on something never used is generally impossible.

IMO for something like a streaming service… if you don’t stream a minute of video in a month you shouldn’t have to pay anything.

How much would you charge a stranger to go to a store, pick up an order, and drive it to their house?

Don’t forget, Russia is invading ukraine because they are antisemitic.

cue white/black arm meme with russia and usa using antisemitism as an excuse to do authoritarian shit.

Delisted in Puerto Rico, part of the US. Amazing.

Publicly traded companies do not have a duty to pay their workers, they have a duty to pay their shareholders and to maximize profits.

If you can get the same job done overseas for less money why would you pay american labor? what’s the benefit?

Not saying I like the system, just saying that’s how it is. Gotta have some kind of fine or penalty for outsourcing, offshoring and 1099 contracting labor if you really want to fix it.

Shit should be changed but the majority election system is funded by the ownership class who greatly benefits from this not changing.
