Look into the current grocery monopoly in the making. Kroger is attempting to purchase Albertsons/Safeway.

A nice and public “fuck you” to C-level staff in tech. Remote work isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

I was pushed upselling offers no fewer than ten times over the two evenings I spent in their service prepping my taxes last week. It was infuriating. I’m going to try the IRS’s pilot program next year assuming it’s still available for the 2024 tax season.

Mine is similar but my bedroom had stretched out like a giant hallway and tiny figurines of my parents were stacked floor to ceiling at the far end with their backs to me. In the hallucination I said, “What the fuck?” and they all instantly turned towards me in anger and fell over making a tsunami wave that crashed over me, fully waking me up.

It was horrifying and I thought I was going to have a heart attack at the age of eight.

How sure are we that this isn’t just the work of Egyptian taggers from 2000 years ago?

If only there were ways to format names so this wouldn’t happen.

Magneto would be a terror in Middle-earth. All those weapons and armor…

You’re probably right for a home with this setup today. Back when these were really popular, probably not.

Home theaters are a fairly recent thing and were not the norm, even for people with these types of setups, outside of maybe the uber rich who could afford a projector and the cost of prints. For a sense of costs, a Super 8 reel of a theatrical film would run anywhere from $600-$1000 (accounting for inflation).

Anybody got some eyebleach at the ready?

For anybody else relying on melatonin, there have been studies suggesting lower dosages work better, along with taking occasional breaks to reduce tolerance. I take 3mg every weeknight and take breaks from it during the weekend.

Spoons?

I take them because of IBS. Life-changer.

Holy “word salad”, Batman!

Lucky, or observant?

EDIT: To clarify, I suspect he already had observed that there was a pattern present and based his hypothesis on that before doing any real testing to prove it.

Their username is a clue.

Hell to the no. We already have to deal with the cost of living increases due to tech. Seattle would become the most expensive place in the country if we were the political center too.
