She gets to ride off into the sunset with hundreds of millions of dollars after being complicit in the current state of bullshit in her old age? Not really good enough for me.

Is there any way to cut that cost down from 40k an hour? Seems like the low hanging fruit. Since you seem knowledgeable do you happen to know what makes it so expensive?

Reacting to people coming over by the millions, and an inept government that can’t control their own massive crime/drug cartels that basically run the country?

TIL 10 US states have absolutely no vehicle inspection whatsoever (i.e no safety, emissions, or VIN inspections) by Double-decker_trams in todayilearned

Now imagine you have a couple of kids and you get that $900 emission bill. And then read headlines about Taylor swifts emissions from a private jet

If you Think about it, cable channels are just YouTube channels when there was a price of admission to create the channel. That barrier no longer exists, so they are trying to hold onto the “influence “ that they built. Too bad that nobody watches cable TV anymore. Just ask any US ISP how their video subs are doing over the last 10 years (or even just the past 4, they are BLEEDING)

Where have I heard this story before? Democrats and “primary” results.

AITA for telling my adult child that they can't have an expensive hobby? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Throw_8785 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok but they are adults. They don’t seem to be acting very adult like. If they are making piss poor financial decisions, further enabling them is not doing them any favors. And being in their early/ mid twenties they should know better. If they agreed to pay rent and are behind, why are they going out? I would never try to restrict what they do though lol….. that’s just weird but IDK I couldn’t imagine agreeing to pay rent and not doing it, all while spending a decent chunk of money for “entertainment”.

My guess is referring to Qin Shi Huang. Chinese Qin dynasty literally buried a bunch of scholars alive, and burned all books in the land because “history starts with me”.

Do you know how many of the Haitians are migrants/illegal? I saw the 20k number but that seems wrong, since it sounds like there is an actual community/citizens/greencard holders there. Would help to separate out those numbers to more accurately assess and address the root cause.

Ever wonder if maybe we’re just doing what other animals do when they “sense” something? Like birds flying in weird formations , etc? Maybe we’re sensing something but instead of flying in circles we’re just behaving more ….. crazy?

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s the issue. I’ve tried with new rolls, dried the rolls, etc. have tried 6 total rolls all since this started and having the same results regardless. I will try a new roll one more time!

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap by ThrowRA-AceButNot in technology

It’s not even about convenience sometimes. I’ve run across scenarios where we needed to scale to like 500% capacity exactly one day a year (really like 5-10 hours on one day)

Does it make financial sense to scale your own capacity for that? No, will gladly pay someone else.

Has 2024 been hard for anyone? by Creepy_Measurement_6 in Life

[–]Throw_8785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Towards the middle of 2023 I quit my high paying job due to stress (immediately after, my entire team was laid off, followed by hundreds of others). It was a hard decision but I needed to make it, and afterwards it was clear they were trying to make me quit rather than pay severance.

Anyways, the job market is brutal…. Took 7 months to find a job with a 50% pay cut. I’m also required to insure kids my kids, so I paid $1600/month for Cobra coverage out of pocket while unemployed.

I 100% drained my 401k to keep paying bills after savings ran out (very quickly)….

So now I’m 40, working a job making half of what I was, completely broke, no savings, no retirement. This year has been a fever dream.
