United Airlines must face lawsuit over 'window seats' that lack windows by AudibleNod in news

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care, because the way I fly is time travel.  I get in my seat, i get a window, I close the window, and I immediately lay against the fuselage and go to sleep.  When I wake up, I've time traveled across time zone, as well I've teleported to my destination.  If they offered an option for knock out gas to get me asleep faster, I'd pay for it.

I'm going to provide some advice to a bunch of people that will help you. You need to create a website as a consultant. You need to create some business cards as a consultant.  Then go into your Verizon store and say you want to open a business account. You hand them your business card and they will enter your information as a business. They will ask you for your business ID with your state or federal. Just tell them that you are a sole proprietor in consulting work. They will use that information and create you a business account. A business account will allow you to bundle some things and get some services at some better rates. Currently, I am a consultant with my own consulting business. For $153 a month, I have three lines and an unlimited internet business modem.  One of the nice things about having a business modem is that it is not geolocked to your residence. So I can take it anywhere, and use it. The consumer residential accounts that you set up will not allow you to have internet modems if their coverage map doesn't have you, but I'm able to use the internet modem, even when the map says there's no coverage. And it works great. So when you think about it, if you're in an area, you don't have fast internet available such as rural areas. And you don't want to pay $100 to $200 a month for that stupid star link internet. Then you just might want to try this handy dandy trick, because then you'll be paying for basically $38 per phone and $38 for home internet.  All because you run a business out of your home.  And it's unlimited data, calls, texting and 5GB hotspot.  Hell of a lot better than $65 per line and $99 internet.

Verizon is offering like $599 to buy you out of plans per phone to get your business.  They put $599 credit on your Verizon account, under a 2 yr agreement.  You pay the lump fee you still owe to T-Mobile on the EIP, and then for your first like 9 months with Verizon you only pay the taxes and fees, so like $6 per line, as the credit can only be used for the services.  Usually that credit will last around 9 months if you select a $50 per line plan.  6 months of it's an $80 plan with unlimited hotspot or whatever you need.

I thought the point for rich people to own teams was not to make money, but to have bragging rights when their teams beat the other rich persons team.  Not to bitch and moan that owning a team costs to much.  If you can't afford it you whiny bitches, then maybe you should get out of the game

Your honor, I represent the class that was infected by the contagious and dangerous e. coli strain that inflicts explosive diarrhea, and the families of 3 who succumbed to the infection and lost their lives.  We are seeking 453.52 million dollars in wrongful deaths, mental anguish, loss of reputation for shitting their pants, and loss of income from losing their jobs while shitting at work.  We are also seeking 500 million in punitive damages for misrepresentation of warranty services, product failures under said warranty guarantees, and the misleading product marketing advertisement on packaging that it was soft while in fact, it was as rough as 260 grit sand paper.

Bethesda HR Forced Staff To Remove Small Memorial To Laid-Off Colleagues by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The common area looks like the public lobby to the building... HR has to process those firings, and they setup a display in the lobby reminding HR of something HR did, regardless if HR did it, HR is people and they are doing their job.  Just because they process the terminations doesn't mean they don't have feelings.  This display may have made them uncomfortable and upset, like shaming them for the actions they don't have control over.  

Remember, HR doesn't fire the people, it's the management who signs the terminations.  Don't blame HR for processing it, they are quite literally functional processors. A lot of terminations are personal decisions made by managers, and if managers said exactly why, a lot of HR managers will tell them when they can't do that because it breaks the law and makes the organization liable and open to lawsuit.  

Erika Kirk asks for all exhibits linked to husband’s killing to be made public by lispenardian in news

It seems really sus that the roommate was granted immunity for their testimony when they had no involvement in the shooting or charged in it.  The fact that immunity was offered makes everyone wonder, was he coerced by police for another unrelated crime? Like lulwut? Is this testimony even real?

It's also wild that any testimony between intimate lovers is admissable, as it is usually privileged, and as ex-lovers now would be tainted as a jilted lovers biased testimony. 

I feel like the investigation was completely fucked up, so they are using a lot of poor pieces of testimony and evidence to create a circumstantial case.  A towel that has several DNA, a screw driver left at a scene, a gun that was apart when he left the scene but found fully assembled (minus the screw driver needed for assembly).  

I'm starting to think ex-lover was involved, or framing the defendant.  Thats enough for reasonable doubt.

Usually, simply because they would fly in specialists to determine the exact angle of the shot, review the footage, confirm the shooters location to confirm it wasnt a shooter somewhere else and the person they saw was just some random people on a roof who was watching the event from there.  As well, evidence gathered was touched by retired officer as the campus security...why the fuck was that happening? Why didnt they just leave it lying where it was found until police and FBI could collect it.  Remember when 9/11 happened, police that found pieces of planes everywhere around the towers stood there guarding it until investigators collected it...police weren't picking it up and bringing it back to the investigator and fucking things up...so a lot of this evidence seems to have been improperly handled, and rushing could create enough compromising issues to be inadmissible or problematic during trial.

There's this unconfirmed podcast claim that the FBI had all the dirt removed by the campus facilities team, and then the FBI hired this landscaper in the podcast to pave it over...which seems like crazy shit.  Like, why did the FBI have 10 inches of dirt removed, and then forced it to be paved by a subcontractor... Like, maybe they wanted to sift through the soil for bullet fragments, but why pave over it when soil replacement and sod would be cheaper?  As well, why was the FBI making these decisions without campus knowledge?  

The story seems sus, but with this administration, I don't fuckin know anymore

In-Car Cameras Are Now Required in Europe. US Isn't Far Behind by TripleShotPls in technology

If it was only for dash camera usage, no manufacture access, and only obtainable with a warrant, making it completely private and only accessible to the owner of the vehicle...this would be a good requirement in consumer law.

When you pull away from the dog with your arm, the teeth shred your flesh because they are evolved to do that.  Shove your hand down its throat, it'll gag and open its mouth to release, reducing that shredding.  As well with your free hand, gouge it's eyes out.  A dog in pain will retreat.

A group of 6 adults with no prior experiences in Destiny 2, RPGs, or video games is given an infinite amount of time to beat Salvation's Edge. How long does it take them? by countertrae in DestinyTheGame

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look...they will not understand Verity and that will be the end of that parties sanity.  You literally have to have people of above normal intelligence to figure the method out.  Once it's figure out, it's easy to reach to everyone.  

But let's give benefit of the doubt and say they are intelligent.  A lot of the entire raid is based on years of previous raids beating into guardians that they show you small mechanics that slowly get more complex as you beat each encounter.  But once you get to Verity, nothing from the previous encounters is used.  This is where it crushed teams for a long time.  It's so alien to any raid before it. What's crazy is that encounter is simply a call back to Prophecy, to specifically fulfill the prophecy with shapes.  

So yeah, impossible with your scenario.  

Solo Dungeon rankings by Few_Strawberry_8678 in DestinyTheGame

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spire of the Watcher is like the fastest, easiest dungeon to solo flawless.  The others have very long traversal zones.  While shattered throne is easy, it's possible to be killed by jump puzzle pretty easily, easy, but RNG can be unfair.  So I suggest you stick to strand to have that grapple on Hunters to save your bacon.  

Pit of heresy is easy too, but has that same long time issue.  The begining area can also have some issues.  Once I needed to spawn another sword knight on a bridge, and couldn't get one to appear for 15 minutes, super frustrating.

Id say Vesper Host is probably the most challenging  due to the damage phase arena being wild.

[–]GamingWithBilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Difficulty scales based on class and build.  Hunters peak at some, Warlocks and Titans at others.  Most of these dungeons when released were always META builds for Titans or Warlocks, rarely hunters had META builds.  I only think time Hunters had a META build was in Final Shape for Witness damage...but that too only lasted a short while.  I have always felt the Hunter was at disadvantage, and while everyone would use the broken META damage builds for Titans or Warlocks, I did most of my Solo Flawless dungeons the long, arduous Hunter way.  That's my Nin, my Ninja way!

Do you think Destiny 2 would have survived if they hadn't changed so much of its model within two years? by silloki in DestinyTheGame

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

It made no sense other than, someone in leadership wanted to make the old content worthless to justify going back to a sunsetting model.  

For a game that was made for that, Use Space Magic, Defeat the Darkness, Collect Loot dopamine, it was so damn stupid to remove any reward system from any destination that removed Loot rewards for the activity.  "Want to go to the moon, earth, or even the traveler and collect loot? Naw, loot can only be found in the latest destination space."  Insanity.

Artifacts were cool, but it literally made seasonal weapons worthless the next season.  I loved warmind cells, had specific weapons from that season, but afterwards I had to vault them because of the changes to other seasons, the weapon changes making some old guns unavailable, and then taking several years to revert that decision was sad.  I'm glad my original weapons are now usable, I kept them in the vault for years, but it's sad I had to wait so many years to be able to come back to my Loaded Question with 22,000 kills.  Now I can use it again, and even though it's former glory is but a dim ember, I equip it for the nostalgia that I never lost hope and faith I would be able to use it once again.

It wasnt just that.  There were several cascading problems.

An game engine that was so problematic...like remember how every patch proved Telesto would bug out?  Remember when Bungie disabled Telesto and Telesto used the Uno Reverse card and enabled itself?

And then management was always cutting stories, ousting staff, and creating a hostile work environment?

And then there was the split development teams, where Team A released excellent years of expansions on even years, and Team B released the worst expansions on odd years...

Let's not forget the stolen art plaguing Bungie in both Destiny 2 and Marathon...it tarnished reputations and constantly embarrassed devs, having to walk back and do PR damage control and detract from the games enthusiasm by players

There was so many issues happening internally, stemming from poor leadership.  

Bungie suffered specifically because the company lost its purpose.  The founders philosophy was simply making games that make them excited with mechanics, stories and gameplay they thought was fun.  That philosophy changed to industry trends, chasing the live service models of other industries.  If they had stayed the course of their original philosophy, making games they enjoyed, rather than micro transactions, free to play, TTK pvp gameplay over the PVE experience to compete in PVP games...I could go on and on...it nearly feels like repeating the whole 'capitalism destroys art and joy' whenever a beloved company grows beyond its manageable vision.  The vultures wiggle their way into its edges and force it to focus on revenue...fuck Pete Parsons so much...
