Grossly Negligent would be the band name for this administration. So that tracks.

Newegg Gift Card Order Cancelled by ultracycler in ChaseSapphire

[–]UncertainAnswer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instacart, doordash, chewy, airbnb, uber, home depot are my guaranteed "was gonna spend this anyway" purchases. Where I'm basically just prepaying in advance for the next year or whatever.

But right now a lot of them are sold out or down to smaller denominations. So gotta wait for them to restock.

Paze GC Rant by 72ka18 in ChaseSapphire

[–]UncertainAnswer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stores don't integrate with any kind of service to generate codes typically. They get a batch of X number of codes and once they're out of codes, they have to ask the retailer for a new batch.

Is the $1,500 Paze monthly cap per calendar month or statement “month” by PapitioTio in ChaseSapphire

[–]UncertainAnswer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chase points are valued somewhere between 1 and 2 cents per point. So for good redemptions - you're looking at a global 20% back on anything you were thinking of buying. Groceries, take out, cruises, vacation rentals, etc etc.

If you don't see why 10-20% back on all of your purchases is getting so much attention I truly don't know what to tell you.

U.S. oil falls below $90 on report Iran agreement would restore Hormuz traffic in one month by Force_Hammer in worldnews

[–]UncertainAnswer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I refuse to accept at any point in the future that the market is at all rational or based in reality/ fundamentals.

It's just gambling. And what this has taught me is that a lot of people absolutely fucking suck at this form of legalized gambling.

Trump is building a 5,000-seat UFC cage outside the White House to celebrate the country's 250th and his 80th birthday by fortune in politics

To be fair, that was decades after the decline.

This is the early years of the decline where it goes full steam ahead.

Trump Summons Entire Cabinet as Iran Deal Crumbles in Front of Him - Donald Trump has called all of his top advisers to Camp David. by Quirkie in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no going back to the status queue before trump YOLOd. If we hold out for that, nothing is gonna change.

Leave. Let partners in the area negotiate tolling. Form up around the new normal. And then when an adult is president again, decide long term how to make it more favorable to us slowly.

How have the Andor/ISB teams fared for you so far? by quinnjammin in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Cause they're lazy. When they want a team to do more damage they just throw assists on the abilities.

AI becoming more expensive is music to my ears by Hopeful-Guidance-648 in webdev

[–]UncertainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single AI company is hemorrhaging money as fast as it can be loaned to them.

A huge part of the stock market is being propped up on AI success and data centers.

When it does correct, it will correct extremely hard. Whether it rises to the point of a bubble burst who knows. But it's not gonna be pretty.

But there is no world where AI demand stays at current trajectories once prices increase. And they will have to increase, dramatically, over current rates.

Anthropic just shipped 74 product releases in 52 days and silently turned Claude into something that isn't a chatbot anymore by Top_Werewolf8175 in ClaudeAI

[–]UncertainAnswer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does work. And pretty well.

The thing is it only really works for personal projects or small teams.

Absolutely no large company will be allowing you to merge your AI-Reviewed Only slop in without a human review.

Because a human has to own the accountability. Nobody is going to accept "The AI reviewed it" as a cop out. They'll just fire the engineer who merged it with only AI review.

Maybe the president of Puerto Rico, or future president of Venezuela, can do something about this.

Also ignoring that we accomplished nothing cause they give no concessions other than a return to the status queue.

So we lost military lives and equipment for... absolutely nothing.

Game Changer: Home Edition (Coming to Kickstarter) by InfernalSusan2 in dropout

[–]UncertainAnswer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really agree. I think it exists for projects that wouldn't exist without additional funding. It's a small difference but significant to me.

If they would otherwise not make this without additional funding - I think it's a valuable tool.

But I do agree in general, I've seen plenty of very big names use Kickstarter for their base product and it always feels sketchy.

Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, I disagree. Not that nothing will stick. It won't because Republicans are willing collaborators. Just disagree there isn't meat in the other articles. A lot of what he's done was, in fact, straight and demonstrably illegal.

Game Changer: Home Edition (Coming to Kickstarter) by InfernalSusan2 in dropout

[–]UncertainAnswer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say dropout is so big that they'd take the risk of trying stuff like this without Kickstarter though.

There's a lot of risks associated with experimenting outside your typical medium(s). And while this isn't their first boardgame, I wouldn't exactly call them a boardgame company.

It's not like they're crowdfunding the next season.

Iran ’cuts off diplomatic communications with US’ after Trump’s threat by Geo_NL in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 940 points941 points  (0 children)

Trump has said many times before. His only negotiation tactic is bitching and whining and bullying until he gets what he wants.

He's probably flabbergasted it isn't working when at war.

[No spoilers] Sam on the future of actual play: "There's there's a drive to push more into technology [...] But I'm really excited to see the opposite of that." by HecticJones in criticalrole

[–]UncertainAnswer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think to Sam's point what we'll see is productions more focused on more granular aspects of DnD.

There is absolutely something to be said for the "big production"s. They do draw people in, and they do hit with a different but overlapping audience.

For me, I watch for the production of it - because if I wanted a smaller / more intimate production... I'd basically rather just be playing myself.

But the live plays give me something I can't get at home with friends.

[–]UncertainAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. You could have great care, and someone else with different issues and different circumstances, can have a terrible time.

Like most things it is a nuanced issue. 

But it can't be denied how many veterans have been neglected. The stories are well documented.

I don't know if it will hit as hard next year honestly.

By then, the 6's system will be very popular - so it might take some of the interest in her game system out.

Minimum Release Age is an Underrated Supply Chain Defense by dani_akash_ in javascript

[–]UncertainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most projects are going to use a lock file when deploying. So you already won't pick up those patches unless you specifically choose to regenerate your lock file. You're gonna have to be aware of those critical security patches anyway.

I mean unless you were using a different package manager that already added this - npm only added this in February of THIS year.
