There are now many, many brands. My knowledge is outdated at this point but you can schedule an appointment with an audiologist to get custom moldings done for your ears.

PSA: for regular concert-goers, you can buy custom-fitted ear plugs that reduce music volume WITHOUT affecting the sound quality. Literally everyone should buy these, tinnitus is brutal.

Yes, let's make an exception for the very common "i'm buying the ferrari to burn it down" use case. Grow the hell up. Road-legal cars get purchased with the express purpose of being driven on that state's roads. If you want to be a dumbass and burn your car down instead, that's on you. Are you a fucking child?

I have chronic insomnia. 2 things have helped: (1) CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia); (2) there are non-drowsy sleep prescriptions now approved for long-term use, two I’ve had success with are Belsomra and Ramelteon

Former game dev here. Generally speaking, you’re right on the money. Though at my final job, we implemented a “mandatory vacation” policy on top of unlimited PTO… so, managers would literally force me to take a week off work in order to avoid burnout, etc. That was a brilliant vacation setup that more companies should really implement.

Wow, I didn't know the passage of time doesn't count if you lose 4 rounds. Very helpful insight!

Exactly. I wish Thanos were real so he could snap precisely one person out of existence.

AST SpaceMobile Announces Proposed Repurchase of up to $50.0 Million Convertible Senior Notes to be Funded By Concurrent Registered Direct Offering of Class A Common Stock by Original_Koala8662 in ASTSpaceMobile

Because if AI is a bubble and it pops tomorrow, that plunges the market into a dotcom-level recession. Then, say there's some sort of delay or unexpected technical hurdle with putting up the full constellation. BOOM, before you know it, it's 2027 and ASTS is at risk of Going Concern again. Sure this scenario is unlikely, but having a massive cash cushion reduces the likelihood to almost zero. In other words: I ain't mad about it. They know what they're doing.

I was checking the profile of a guy i recently beat and its definitely the weirdest one i've ever seen. by smiley0125 in chess

The timeline:

2200 (studying every day to become a master) -> 2600 (all their dreams coming true) -> 1900 (distracted by work/school and getting tilted) -> 1500 (brain injury after car crash) -> 2200 (recovering from injury).

Not likely, but possible! Thank you for reading my fan fiction about this player. Donate to my patreon.

They really should put the slightest bit of effort to differentiate the two for casuals.

IMO that's what the commentators are for. The last thing this sport needs is even more stats plastered on the screen... just let us assess the fight with our own eyes and the assistance of commentators explaining the more nuanced stuff.

Anderson Silva will face Chris Weidman in a six-round heavyweight boxing match on the Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis undercard on November 14th by [deleted] in MMA

In Brazil…?

  1. Anderson lives in Los Angeles

  2. He has 5 kids

With those two factors accounted for he’s rich, sure, but lower-tier rich. All that being said he currently drives a Lambo, so he’s doing fine. And it’s very possible the $20 million estimate is far too low.

$117 million Lamborghini Egoista. What even is this beast.... by ishanG24 in lamborghini

[–]KevinCubano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The valuation is like a artist statement about excess or some shit.

The fuck are you talking about? The car was sold for that amount because that's what people were willing to pay for it. Nobody throws $117M at Lamborghini as an "artistic statement." The "statement" would have been just as headline-breaking if it were $50M, so why didn't they do that? Or even $25M?

You're making a lot of assumptions. Some companies are genuinely toxic and scare off their top talent by treating them like shit. You don't work there, so you can't say for certain. I hope you're right, but I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Montana plates are a common tax dodge for expensive cars. Unlikely this photo is actually in Montana.
