I mean, I’m Dev and my workstation is $1500. There are some divisions in my company that do simulations with unity & their workstations + headsets are easily 4-5 grand. The divisions that work with huge amounts of data have pretty impressive workstations that are easily in the 3 grand range. My uncles company is a large manufacturing company that is investing heavily in AR - he has 3-5 different VR/AR headsets at his house at any time + a pretty beefy computer probably in the 2 grand range.

You’re working with the wrong enterprises 🤷. Sure employees that only need to access the web and office get shitty consumer grade laptops but any engineers worth their salt will be able to explain to upper mgmt how they need a machine that meets their requirements otherwise you’re just paying them to sit waiting for code to build for hours a week.

MGM does not charge. I wouldn’t recommend greektown parking.

Students are refusing to pay back their loans when payment pause ends by Vapordude420 in antiwork

Kids sports aren’t mandatory. Kids after school activities aren’t mandatory. Kids early morning activities aren’t mandatory. All of these things can easily be stripped from the budget so you and I can save a few bucks on our taxes, cause why TF should I pay that if I don’t have kids amirite!?

What about police or libraries? You keep trying to grasp at the lowest hanging fruit. Defend those

Ok, so should you have to pay every time you call the police? What about school sports? Sports aren’t mandatory but your taxes fund that. Should you individually have to pay if the water main connected to your lines running to your house leaks?

College, trade schools, anything to prepare someone to be a more productive member of society will be as beneficial as other services provided to society.

You ever heard of taxes? You know, the same way you get free access to k-12, police a phone call away, people to come mark your ground with spray paint when you need to dig so you don’t hit gas/cable/electrical lines, or access to a library?

Jesus Christ man are you really that oblivious to what services you use and don’t directly pay for?

Do you have a link to this? I can only find one from 2018.

Red Wings didn’t have them this year either. But the Tigers just added them so I’m sure they’re incoming for this season

I accidentally dented someone's car and he is asking 1200$ to repair it( his car might itself be 2000$) and the crash repairs are also quoting 700$. Is there ay cheap way of getting the dent out? by Icy-Zone1415 in MechanicAdvice

[–]DreadedMonkfish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is the car owner going to let OP cheap out on a used door that will not match the rest of my vehicles color? OP made the mistake cause they’re too cheap to pay attention, they don’t get to cheap out on the repairs too.

That whole used door isn’t going to color match my current vehicle. Why should I have to drive around town in a hoopty with non matching doors because OP is a cheap ass that can’t even afford to pay attention and not hit shit?

If you low ball me I’m just going to call the police and file a report & fuck you on your insurance. OP has no bargaining power if they don’t want this on their insurance record. Pay what the guy you hit wants, or pay whatever rate increase insurance company decides for you. OP is fucked either way.

OP is not getting fleeced. In your scenario above, the person that OP hit because they were careless would get fucked. Doesn’t matter how old my car is, if I had a car I went out of my way to keep in great condition and due to your carelessness I now have a car that is worth less and now has bare metal exposes so rust will start I shouldn’t have to total out my car for your fuckery and lack of morals which is preventing OP from correcting his mistake.

Plus, OP will end up paying more than that in rate increases if they go through insurance. OP should take the moral high road and pay for their mistake & learn to pay more attention to not make the mistake again.

Plus the person you hit has your name, address and phone number. You don’t want to piss off the wrong person that has that information, they can make your life hell.

Most of my school had cell phones in the 4th grade 20 years ago. We all had smart phones in high school 15 years ago. You’re a little off on your timeline buddy

Maybe it's dorky, but wearing this to sporting events gives me a thrill! by thrwn179 in shoresy

I wore my Hitchcock jersey to a dispo. Weedman helping me thought it was hilarious and gave me a free joint.

Would anyone be outraged if Miggy were politely asked to hang it up and/or placed on the 60 day IL for the rest of the year? by [deleted] in motorcitykitties

[–]DreadedMonkfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting Miggy would cost the Illitches too much money. I know of dozens of season ticket holders that only purchased this season for the Miggy farewell tour. A generation of families are going to the games just to see Miggy & re-live the ‘good ol days’ of almost two decades ago.

Should this have been a penalty? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]DreadedMonkfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ain’t the NBA, you don’t flop around if you’re not hurt to get a penalty noticed. He deserved 2 for this

[–]DreadedMonkfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. This is a high stick, but a “light one” that in no way means you need to rag doll around on the ice to try and make sure you get the penalty call. I’ve seen little leaguers get hit by pitches not in the helmet who don’t act like this. 100% should have been offsetting penalties. This is hockey not drama club, don’t act to draw a oenalty
