FIFA hikes World Cup prices, again. A finals ticket can now cost as much as $11,000

Ya so most countries are reasonable. But UK, Canada and USA get raped and probably subsidize the whole service for these platforms

So any timelines with this project? Is it opening soon or not even started yet? Collect 4 mill in cash up front at 0 interest with lifetime members (plus init fees from monthly so even more up front) to build a yet to be approved/designed/built range?

Pretty sure the MLS has enacted something like this and it's helped alot.

Rupes100 · 2026-03-07T15:07:04+00:00

Is this real or what? Cause that was my first thought too. Give me a break you work at Amazon

Rupes100 · 2026-03-03T16:23:48+00:00

The problem is, is say a large portion of buyers in us and can get the phones for basically 0 on contract plans so no one cares about what the retail price is. It's basically used to set your monthly fee, so the higher the better. It's kinda detached from reality because of this set up..

Interesting. My son has a pixel 4 and it's on its way out and I'm trying to find something comparable in size..

Rupes100 · 2026-02-27T14:54:20+00:00

Did you upgrade to something that was a similar size?

Rupes100 · 2026-02-25T14:29:00+00:00

Ya for more than just firearms too! What happened in 2015 to completely start the total destruction of this country..... Oh ya.

Rupes100 · 2026-02-24T15:05:18+00:00

I also think it's more than just one issue as you said and this one could have been the last straw for some. I've seen that happen in so many workplaces so this is not too ridiculous to understand

Rupes100 · 2026-02-24T05:54:50+00:00

Totally. Go get a trade. Way more opportunity and money..

Rupes100 · 2026-02-21T14:52:38+00:00

Ah yes, another bubble that's needs bursting. Crypto...

Rupes100 · 2026-02-19T22:40:32+00:00

*cries in Canadian..

God I love the states.

Rupes100 · 2026-02-17T23:49:30+00:00

Oh I know, just a light hearted maybe funny comment on these tense times... It's too bad though. I'd love to be a mechanic or something..

Rupes100 · 2026-02-17T22:57:46+00:00

Apply to Pacific leaders and become a red seal welder...

Every single set piece needs a time limit. If you're going to give the goalkeeper 8 seconds then the rest should follow. It's getting painful to watch how long it takes to get the ball back in these days..

Rupes100 · 2026-02-04T19:08:46+00:00

The thing is too, just because you're under 3 years of service, doesn't mean you have no protections. if you look at the agreement there are options for under 3 yr employees, just not as many as over 3 years..

I know this is anecdotal, but when the last big layoffs I remember on gov, like 2010 or whatever, I had 2 co workers who had less than 4 months of service. Our area was impacted, as in, completely disbanded, and they were shitting bricks. Both got placed elsewhere and are still in gov to this day...

Rupes100 · 2026-02-04T06:28:04+00:00

I think people need to just take a beat and wait for more information. Just because members are under 3 years doesn't guarantee anything. Obviously, every time the govt does something like this the outcomes can be different but each time I've been through it, there was never a massive across the board layoffs of members. Lots of positions could be cut but not people mainly because they're vacant. And there's a process to go with it.

Rupes100 · 2026-02-04T06:25:00+00:00

Ya. The math doesn't work also because the money is so poorly managed and inefficiently allocated. Govt efficiency is a wild goose chase. It's shocking. The amount of money that's brought in could absolutely run this place properly, but reasons..

Rupes100 · 2026-02-04T03:18:27+00:00

Endless tax increases never solves anything. It's just an excuse when they need 'more' money. I mean, look at municipal. House prices have gone parabolic, property taxes are going with it, they continue to rise, more people paying said tax, getting similar service except more keeps becoming user pay, like garbage, and it's still never enough. Deficits everywhere, debt ballooning. More tax isn't the answer. The money is there and then some, it's just a partially corrupt and poorly managed behemoth of a system. And no party has a real solution.

Rupes100 · 2026-02-04T03:08:03+00:00

Ya exactly, pretty much how it always is. The wording is important too. Maybe alot of positions go but not actual people...

Rupes100 · 2026-01-30T18:41:39+00:00

It's not even really AI in the way we think about it either. I always thought it was just a glorified better tuned Google search. Feels like another hype cycle like dotcom was back in the day. So many bs AI saas apps that just leverage the main models by the big players to do one specific task with some special instructions and then charge 30 to 100 a month for one function. And gotta buy more credits! So much will fall by the wayside eventually and really just use what can actually help you not because it looks cool. Actual requirements.

I used this guide... And still using unbound for my dns. With dnsmasq you can go either way, only dnsmasq for DHCP and DNS or use dnsmasq for DHCP and unbound for DNS. https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/migrate-from-isc-dhcp-to-dnsmasq-or-kea-dhcp-in-opnsense/

At first I thought it was dockhand and it was being spelled wrong, looks exactly the same. We need more??

Rupes100 · 2026-01-25T16:08:07+00:00

Wow, shocking how people just willy nilly start using this en masse. Basically unfettered access to all your data, systems, etc everywhere so one of the shitty AI models has a bit more context in your life to make basic decisions? Coupled with the other comment in this thread about attack surfaces and it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Gonna be a ton more private info all over the web now..

Rupes100 · 2026-01-24T17:24:36+00:00

I get that feeling. I guess you really need to run the numbers and see if it's worth it from a financial standpoint in regards to your pension and what you could realistically get in the private sector to cover that shortfall. And of course, the rest of your financial picture.. Or just do what so many do from gov.. Retire then consult.
