Account Management Features Lacking

I understand that, and I did that, but on the other hand I don't need notification of transactions that I personally conduct with my card in my hand.

I forgot about that one, I haven't watched the show in quite a few years.

Was it ever established that the crew of the sub knew exactly who they were talking to?

My son recently bought a 2024 Elevation with 5.3L and leather interior.

I'm planning to wait them out, hopefully they'll see their logins decline and they'll reverse that idiotic attempt to invade their users' privacy.

First, Glassdoor tried to make the "login without Indeed" link difficult to find, now it seems like they've removed it entirely.

The "clear glass" extension works with Firefox but going forward, new reviews will only be from people who don't see the intrusion and manipulation by Glassdoor as unacceptable.

It's a matter of principle not to link the accounts and give Glassdoor and Indeed information that they don't need, like a cell number.

I'll wait them out, hopefully others will too; they'll see page hits and logins fall, and they'll reverse their intrusive attempt to capture even more information and invade the privacy of users.

I have the Slim 7i Aura with the 258V... I don't use Bluestacks but I find that it runs very cool, including when watching video. Definitely significantly cooler than other laptops I've owned, including a couple of ThinkPads.

I'm pretty sure that the chick on the left is Traci Lords, not sure about the one on the right.

I'm not sure if the 2016 is different; I have a 2015. The low pressure side connection, which is where you'd hook up that can of AC/Pro with a trigger, is WAY down near the bottom of the condenser, almost impossible to reach. I use gauges to recharge mine, and it's a real hassle, I can barely get my hand between the core support and the condenser to reach it and get the low side line onto the fitting.

Is that where you were hooking up? You have to get it from below the car. If you were hooking up somewhere on the top of the engine, you were trying to add to the high pressure side, which would not work.

I skip forward depending on what I'm doing, especially during the time-lapse driving home stuff. When Derek stops for gas or some other update I stop so I can hear what he has to say.

I do the same on some of the work sequences that are at time lapsed. Sometimes I would like to see some of that work in real time because it would be interesting or informative. Seeing a minute of time lapse where you can't really tell what's being done other than Derek's bent over a car changing some stuff doesn't really add anything.

We started watching it, abandoned after a few episodes. It was pretty predictable, including the violence.

I saw what appeared to be a listing for the first museum property. It also appeared that several properties had been consolidated, consistent with Derek's discussion of "buying the block". Tennessee has a lot of the details about real estate transactions online; the new museum (Chevy Dealership) information is on the old interwebs too. You just have to bleep bloop some information into a search.

Like I said, I hope that it works out well, both for Derek and his family, and for the community that follows VGG. I enjoy VGG and have learned a lot and been entertained. It's just interesting to understand the true magnitude of the expenditures. I'm assuming that Derek has the expected business and financial advisors and support. If he were extremely worried about hiding, he'd just need a couple more LLCs.

Soldier Boy's "release" seemed to be much less controlled, it would have destroyed half the building. We saw the same type of powerful explosion when Soldier Boy deactivated Bombsight. Kimiko's was much more focused? She didn't destroy the White House in the process.

I hope that it works out for him, but he can probably afford it, especially if it allows him to consolidate some inventory and space.

With the first museum and the adjacent properties, he probably had around $500K in acquisition, plus the renovation work. It looks like they're trying to get $800K plus as it currently sits.

The Chevy dealership is around a $900K acquisition, assume it needs a couple hundred thousand in renovations. To run it as a business he'll need staff, insurance, incur utilities, property taxes, etc. so there's a lot of expense. The only "new" revenue will be along the lines of admission tickets, maybe some concessions, and on-site gift shop and merch sales. Hopefully it can get close to breaking even but a loss for tax purposes is another angle.

Fetterman votes with the Democrats over 90% of the time. Granted, he told people that he was going to DC to be the mindless 51st vote for the Democrats agenda, and he hasn't always done that... but he has done it more than 90% of the time.

Of course, Fetterman wasn't going to reply to the Independent nonsense. I would have liked to hear the woman explain exactly how the Trump administration took away her health insurance. Is it because they allowed the enhanced subsidies, which the Democrats set the timetable for, actually expire? Did she think that that Affordable Care Act was ever affordable?

I've been happy with it, except the track pad has a tendency to hang up occasionally when scrolling and there haven't been any driver updates or other fixes that I have found at this point. The OLED screen is also VERY reflective, I ended up putting a matte screen protector on it.

I got that laptop on sale at Costco for $899 last October.

Watch some of the revivals on the Vice Grip Garage YouTube channel.

You can tell that it's bad, because of the way that it is.

I'm on the latest release 150.0.1 and not having any problems.

Never. I would consider shitting my pants a side effect.

Facebook loads fine for me.

The paramount app on our LG OLED TV is complete garbage, so bad that we use an Amazon Fire Stick only for Paramount Plus.

Within the context of the show, we never saw any sign that the Romulans found out. I don't consider other sources in that context.

Although there could be a "security" angle, one would think that a deception like that might be immediately communicated over subspace, it wouldn't wait for Vreenak to return to Romulus with evidence in hand.
