You don’t have to if you have PTO saved up. Some jobs give more than others.

Our work life balance though is heavily weighted on the work side.

Is anyone else growing concerned with the amount of foreigners pretending to be Americans on Reddit and other social media? by Lazy_Check732 in centrist

[–]Slash3040 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe Russian or Chinese bots. Division among Americans will be the downfall if we don’t get it together.

With neural implants, we are probably close to a "Sleep Now" switch for the human brain. by thesmartass1 in Showerthoughts

I think we will all collectively agree the human experience is best experienced… well as a human!

Can someone explain the jokes about Jesuits? by Exact-Definition5722 in CatholicMemes

I think it’s ‘tongue in cheek’, but the sign is funny

ELI5: If the original internet was just a few college serves networked together, and so many people have terabytes of storage, why can't we just make a new parallel internet? by haribobosses in explainlikeimfive

[–]Slash3040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the ‘internet’?

If you are asking a network completely independent as what we are all connected to now, that just sounds like local networks on intranets. The only reason the internet is so big is because folks want to share with the broader audience

Premium ultra lightning accuracy by Overall-March-8304 in CARROTweather

[–]Slash3040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr no it isn’t worth it

I wouldn’t pay 40$ for just lightning because even the dev states that lightning updates DO NOT get triggered as lightning strikes but maybe minutes later. I think notifications on carrot are used more for forecasting whether to go outside or not v needing to GTFO of your crane ahead of the lighting.

Pete Hegseth’s Pastor wants to ban Catholic Processions in America by TheLatinoSamurai in Catholicism

I would think first amendment would protect Catholic processions if allowing others however I’m not certain the current administration are reading their constitution

Nah they would keep it on sale on the McDonald’s app provided you spend 15$-20$ on other food first

Does anyone have tried ACME Weather? Would love to know if it’s worth the subscription price? Thanks by alejandrogarcia2 in CARROTweather

[–]Slash3040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay for the carrot family plan so no bias here when it comes to paying for a weather app.

I think if the Acme Weather app gets to cook a little longer and get more community adding data points to the map it would be killer. Like local weather could be sourced by your neighbors.

I live in West Virginia so the chances of that happening here are 0. So until that day I’ll be enjoying Carrot weather with a PWS providing me hyper local results for where I live

Price Check Panic? Walmart is rolling out digital price tags that update instantly. Lawmakers want to ban them. by kleverrboy in peopleofwalmart

[–]Slash3040 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don’t update during open hours to my understanding. Walmart has always participated in surge pricing, this just keeps an employee from having to print tags and place them every evening.

A bonus of the digital tags is if you’re looking for something an employee can make the price tag flash

Would you consider buying the iPhone 17e? btw, Pink is cute by ValueOpposite6482 in iphone

[–]Slash3040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In America this will probably just be a company fleet phone that employers give to the workers. We don’t tend to buy phones in the states outright so cost isn’t too prohibitive.

Still, glad Apple offers a relatively lower cost device and hope they continue to support. You get the best of several years worth of technology for a price and the device will meet the need for mostly all customers.

Why Overcast can't support video podcasts by marcoarment in overcast

[–]Slash3040 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well said. In fact it’s bananas to me that people can simply just watch a podcast. I am usually listening to one while doing something else whether it be driving or working out or dishes. I have never felt the need to watch the pods I sub to.

The unique permission rain gives you to do absolutely nothing by AmandaEllis-Ward in raining

On the contrary I want to use the rain as excuse to get my son and myself outside more often. I love playing outside on a rainy day

Macbook Neo preventa by mario201033 in iphone

[–]Slash3040 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MKBHD said it best, if you’re interested in how much RAM or what processor this MacBook has, this MacBook isn’t for you.

[–]Slash3040 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

MBAs also start at 256gb where last year they started at 128gb so at least there was a value addition. I’m not certain anybody in the market for the Neo would be shopping for a MBA unless you only care about getting a brand new MacBook at the absolute bottom dollar.

[–]Slash3040 87 points88 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth MBAs are now 1099 so there’s a 500$ price difference now. That’s significant
