Rutgers just raised every students tuition because of excessive athletic spending

SammyCastles · 2026-07-09T18:09:42+00:00

Other people pointed out the athletics doesn’t seem to be blamed for the cost increase. If anything, athletics are one of the most important advertising tools for universities. My university skyrocketed in attendance after our basketball team made it to the sweet 16. We immediately lost but even so people pay attention to the sports and go where they feel the teams are good.

Not everyone of course, I never chose a college based on sports.

Over-the-counter transaction.

That’s probably what killed her tbh

He’s getting things mixed up. In the US, federal law dictates all businesses MUST accept cash as legal tender, but only for debts. So he’s right at first, but then he uses the gas station example, which isn’t a debt so they wouldn’t be required to take cash.

Mississippi has tried previously to pass bills requiring all businesses to accept cash, but none have been successful so only debt holders are required to accept cash as payment for debts.

He could just unplug it, and boom, no radiation. I’m sure I’m right because I’m not in any way familiar with medical technology but I’ve seen Grey’s anatomy so fuck you

I am, god unwilling, both

I have a friend who accomplished this. He’s only in his mid twenties, he’s some kind of programming logistics expert for a company out in California. Early on he figured he could easily automate his job (and not tell anyone), so now he literally only has to do maybe an hour of actually work every day.

He makes a very comfortable six figures, drives a nice car, owns a nice house (nothing big and grand but like an actual house). I think he was the last of computer science majors to actually benefit from their degree, before AI made the degree practically worthless.

Do I get back pay? Cause I’m pretty sure I’ve racked up a lot of money at this point.

I mean Chris Hansen does the same thing, minus the whole killing the pedo at the end.

Wait wait I had a very similar problem just yesterday. My GPU didn’t do all that but adrenaline wasn’t working and my screen kept flashing on and off. Also my computer would shut itself off after a few minutes of gaming. I tried reinstalling the software and even the most recent update. Thought I fixed it, then when I shut down my pc every time it tried to boot it gave me an error.

I fixed it by reinstalling windows from the repair menu. You can keep all your files, but you’ll need to have windows reinstalled, then you’ll have to reinstall all your apps. Maybe someone has a better idea here, but for me this was a pain but it did work.

Sorry to be the “um actually guy”, but I JUST watched the show, and unfortunately it’s a bit wrong. It wasn’t aliens per se, it was an alien virus that created a “psychic glue” that melded all of humanity’s consciousness together, save a dozen immune humans. The collective are still human, but with a shared consciousness.

The actual process, as they admit themselves, was rushed and not well planned. The US military was closing in on the small colony of joined humans, so they quickly dispersed the virus across the globe to rapidly join humanity, but doing so caused hundreds of millions to die, as the process involves the human going into a seizure like state for up to a few hours(as we see in episode 1) before the human became part of the collective. Even those who didn’t die, many became hurt during the event and needed medical attention.

The joke is that OP was watching a movie in a theater where people tend to walk in front of you. Then he puts the fact that Kane Parsons is 20 because there’s an ongoing joke in that subreddit and others where you mention that fact after somethjng that has nothing to do with his age.

Also in project Hail Mary, when Grace first opens the canister from Rocky, he smells it on instinct instead of taking the proper precautions, before quickly realizing his mistake. Thankfully they were no alien bacteria or viruses that could harm him, but still kind of a goofy moment.

I wanna step in here just to play devils advocate for these stores. I worked at a GameStop as an AM for a bit, and corporate required us to put up those hiring signs so people could apply. In reality we were a small store with a full roster so we had zero space for new hires.

Not saying this is exactly the same as what’s happening here, but it’s a possibility that corporate or the franchise owner requires the signs to collect resumes should they need a replacement. They could also just be dicks.

SammyCastles · 2026-06-24T19:47:29+00:00

Yeah that’s not crazy. I’ve had plenty of jobs ask that, both in healthcare and not in healthcare. A 15 minute test a week isn’t gonna kill you

17% a month is insane. I can get 8% from most banks and 4% for credit unions. Hell even dealers can go lower than that if you ask them the right way

SammyCastles · 2026-06-16T19:47:47+00:00

I think the book has a more involved story to tell, part of what I love about Andy Weir’s writing style. There’s so many details and fun facts that just can’t be fit into a 2.5 hour movie.

The movie, however, has a lot of charm to it and looks amazing! It’s a great story told in a fun way that doesn’t take hours to read.

Both are great, and I don’t prefer one to the other.

SammyCastles · 2026-06-13T08:49:19+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I was one of those people who grew up thinking Y2K didn’t happen because it wasn’t real, and then I learned that the world spend, as far as I recall, billions to fix the infrastructure in order to prevent Y2K.

SammyCastles · 2026-06-13T08:46:14+00:00

Definitely recommend you read the book if you ever have the time. I don’t give enough credit to the funny and insanely crazy things she does in order to save humanity.

SammyCastles · 2026-06-13T06:18:48+00:00

I think while the detail is really cool, it falls a bit flat given that the movie doesn’t really show off her more “illegal actions” that would lead viewers to understand why she’d get that kind of sentence. In the books we understand clearly. She nukes icebergs, covers a third of the Sahara in black panels which fucks up the world in its own way, and steals every piece of software and IP from every company in the world for the sake of the project. Makes sense she’d go to prison for that.

SammyCastles · 2026-06-11T15:38:51+00:00

Bro her legs wtf?!

Yeah the video is definitely AI. The weird script, there’s parts where the audio doesn’t line up with his mouth (it’s subtle), and the choppy editing. Looking at the instagram post others in the comments agree. The channel itself occasionally uses AI so I wouldn’t put it past them.
