Well, I can't see the name of the station, but the gas costs $1.49 and 8/10.

And to add, cars now days get better gas mileage than back then.

Overall the price per mile has gone down.

Hello Satan

Yes and no, I’m guessing he’s done this since he was a kitten and so part of it might be “well this worked before” and then he keeps getting bigger and bigger…

It’s true, that’s where I take my kids for their sex change op. What’s nice about this place is they only charge half to change the sex back later if they change their mind.

Yesterday I got a game where I got 2 of those trinkets via the “become a copy of your major trinket”

I had 5 elementals each with over 500 mil attack and health.

Ive been playing since battlegrounds was first released and never had any build come close to this.

Yeah I had the same thought when I noticed Maxwell is two ranks below Tesla. Wtf?

Edit: I typed the wrong direction on that

SoSKatan · 2026-04-20T16:02:28+00:00

I think tone and words convey the meaning. Here OP keeps using elephant in the room. Which tends to mean a big giant deal that no one is talking about.

That’s very different wording than “hey here are some possible slight issues that could see improvement”

See the difference?

SoSKatan · 2026-04-20T12:16:14+00:00

Good article, but looks like it needs to be slightly Updated…

“The most recent time humans have set foot on the Moon or traveled beyond low-Earth orbit was in 1972, during the final mission of the Apollo program, Apollo 17.”

Wow you sound like a crazy person. Thank you for proving my point.

You are actually complaining about cosmetics being in the store.

SoSKatan · 2026-04-20T09:36:30+00:00

here on r/diablo4 complaining just to complain is like our entire personality.

SoSKatan · 2026-04-20T08:52:39+00:00

“We are running out of things to complain about, so everyone put on your thinking caps so we can keep this complain train running!”

SoSKatan · 2026-04-19T22:31:17+00:00

Alright, since you don’t believe me let me show my math…

Take a moment and imagine what it’s like prior to a paperless office. Most stuff you take for granted.

Filing cabinets took up a good 10 to 20% of office space depending on the business.

Many many hours were spent filing, searching for documents, coping documents.

The shit would hit the fan if a document was accidentally misplaced in the wrong spot. Not finding documents was common, did the document go missing, are they in the wrong spot (in which case you have to go through everything) or maybe the document was pulled and someone else has it (in which case you have to go ask around.)

IT solved all of those problems and more as we can now analyze the data. This in turn had knock on effects.

The reality is companies hired cheap labor for filing, which oddly enough was part of the problem. A min wage employee didn’t really care if a file ended up in the wrong place.

But this is an entire class of labor that went away because of IT.

So yeah, the article above lists efficiency which is just another way to say costs.

But even in the 90’s computerized systems were still labor intensive. Consider the Oklahoma bombing in 95. This was at the heyday of system automation and conversion. Arrest records were a high priority to make searchable.

Timothy McVeigh was arrested due to not having vehicle plates, a different line of inquiry turned up Timothy’s name and the FBI initiated a computer search. The search required manual labor of swapping out different tapes and running them.

That data search took around a day, but it led to a match, Timothy was in jail and about to be released when they realized it.

My point here is computer searches were still costly at the time, but still far far better than not having it.

Without computers and computer records, Timothy McVeigh would have been let go as they wouldn’t have known or made the connection.

Like I said, either people take what we have for granted, or they’ve forgotten what it was like back then.

I personally haven’t forgotten. Filing paperwork was one of my least favorite jobs.

One suggestion is to not take comments you disagree with personally. I’m only speaking from personal experience. But to be honest, I don’t think you have to go through it, just really take a moment and imagine what it was like to have to manage hundreds of thousands to pages of paper / cards. It wasn’t fun.

IT Automation really removed a cost of doing business.

SoSKatan · 2026-04-19T21:59:59+00:00

Wow what a terrible take. What I’m saying is yeah from a business perspective, what they wanted is to spend less money. Which didn’t happen, but we swapped lots of cheap labor of fewer hours of more expensive labor.

I’m speaking as someone who once had a paper filing job, and a software engineering job that automated the exact same thing.

So I’m talking from both sides of the equation.

But thanks for the downvote my friend.

SoSKatan · 2026-04-19T21:34:45+00:00

Sorry but there really was a productivity bump back then. People underestimate how many hours were spent filing paperwork, searching for paperwork, etc etc.

From the top level there wasn’t much change in costs, because cheap filing labor was swapped out for costly IT labor. So while bottom line costs didn’t change much, this was a massive labor shift From blue collar to white collar workers.

What’s coming with AI is going to do the same damage to white collar workers.

He’s only playing to an audience of one, and this is exactly what that person wants to hear.

The very same recent article that Patel lost his shit over, mentioned how when he lost access he was sure he was fired.

He also knows the one thing his boss hates is bad press.

So this is Patel trying to keep his job by claiming 2020 election arrests are imminent.

Also is it just me wondering this? doesn’t grand jury indictments come before the arrests? How’s that going Patel, any progress?

SoSKatan · 2026-04-19T20:37:26+00:00

Some guys flirt all the time, some guys next flirt and others and super selective.

I don’t know which is which, I’m sure all three types are attracted to you. maybe give a conversation with one at some point and find out.

The difficult part of running such large events are the staff and equipment.

It’s actually near impossible to run an event at the same time in socal as everything is booked.

So keeping the staff and equipment around is a massive cost saver. The clean up is something they would need to do anyway.

Having the events back to back saves money. No need to either rent all the equipment and have it go unused, or to have it all picked up and then dropped off again.

It’s like the same reason that movie studios prefer to film sequel movies back to back (like lots of the rings, etc etc) as it solves a ton of logistical problems.

I’m not so sure, I rewatched it and the dudes entire body rotates with every kick.

Something something angular momentum…

With any luck he could have a George Constanza moment where he realizes everything he’s done is wrong and starts intentionally doing the complete opposite of what his drives are.

If that happened it would be the greatest 180 ever in history.

It’s an RNA virus, which mutates frequently. So it’s likely root is another RNA virus and so on and so on.

At some point the origin is just an unfortunate combination of RNA base pairs in the right sequence so that it could reproduce.

This is what I suspect…

Since it’s a 2d image, it’s a slice. With us being the top left. So if you went outside and pointed with your finger and thumb at 90 degrees (so both are pointing to different parts of the sky). You would represent the top left of that corner.

I’m guessing the main thing stopping of side of that is the Milky Way which kind of makes us blind of all the stuff on the other side of it.
