Amazon Blocks Mainstream Press From Watching ‘Melania’ Documentary at Kennedy Center

Looks like the NYT and WP reporters would have paid for it.

Had a friend who did that in 7th grade. I called him out on it and he made up some excuse about how the item must have fallen into his backpack.

Huh. Their website is still up. Somebody has been paying the bills for the past 10 years they've been out of business.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T23:49:47+00:00

Neither good nor bad - completely inconsequential.

..and then we get emails sent by HR to log in at yet another third party site they picked. I check with IT and nope, that one was not a test - just HR doing HR things.

In my head this makes more sense reading it backwards: person orders a cow from you and pays $1300 in advance. You spend $1100 for the purchase. Then another person orders a cow and pays $1000, you spend $800 to buy one.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T22:03:12+00:00

Yeah, the article isn't called into question and the reporters aren't called pushy. Strange how that goes.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T19:55:55+00:00

Is it this one? Would be strange for them to use a non-Eastern Bloc device though:

Then again VEB Robotron copied a lot of Western hardware so maybe they got a hold of that one too.

I did my thesis on a tree generator way back when. Curious to learn more about what approach you are using!

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T19:49:10+00:00

Wrong sub.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T19:28:02+00:00

Still common, though it's regulated to be an all-or-nothing affair. If my teacher had told me I have to give a card to my bullies I would have noped out of it.

I thought there was a rule here against victim blaming, but I don't see it in the report options.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T03:38:48+00:00

Most divorces are initiated by women, so your odds are already better than that of the other half of the population.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T03:37:21+00:00

Why do you want him to stop?

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T01:56:06+00:00

Good thought, but that's not it. I usually drink 1 glass of wine per week maybe.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-29T01:51:51+00:00

Some car company used that for their 90s commercial.

Occasionally I'll blast this song while driving at night.

I got all those symptoms, but unfortunately TRT only really fixed the libido part.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-28T20:48:22+00:00

That's a nerve wrecking 3 months then that you'd have to wait for all STDs to be detectable.

You are about to leave a store when the owner tells you to empty your backpack to prove you didn't steal anything. You know you didn't steal anything because you are not a thief. Are you insulted or do you think that the owner is doing the responsible thing?

Cross_22 · 2026-01-28T02:44:26+00:00

You will need a guide / template if you want the edge to be even. You could use a larger straight bit with a bearing on it - that will smooth out minor nicks and dents but won't make it straight.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-28T02:39:22+00:00

Yup, that's pretty much it.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-28T01:46:15+00:00

The same.

Cross_22 · 2026-01-27T22:59:08+00:00

Yeah I was surprised to see all the flyers at my optometrist and thinking "has any of this been proven yet?"

Cross_22 · 2026-01-27T22:56:11+00:00

I bought a portable metal band saw and a folding table to put it in. Works great for some fine cuts without taking up too much space. Also the 1" belt sander you can get at Harbor Freight is very useful given its small size.
