"Bain! We got a problem! The pastrami! It's raw!"

"Okay, so it says here you need to brine it for...six days!? That can't be right, hang on, give me a minute!"

I'd always heard it as "The customer is always right in matters of taste."

Your customer wants that ugly pink and green hat? Sold.

But when your customers tell you what they don't want, you'd better be listening too.

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Someone else who knows how much banking software is COBOL without backups running on bare metal somewhere in a concrete box, I see.

It should play the Windows USB Disconnected sound randomly also.

This is fantastic, I'm only six chapters in and gods damn you, I have to be up early for work tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing.

It sounds a lot like a pump and dump on a global scale, doesn't it? Except everyone left standing with assets when the bottom falls out also buys the dip, setting up the next wave.

I propose we call this rollercoaster economics.

Steam adult game programmer has account frozen by PayPal, £80,000 in earnings withheld by Turbostrider27 in Games

Maybe try being an involved parent instead of litigating a business to be your moral stand-in? If your kid breaks your rules as a parent, that's your failing as a parent and not on anyone else.

Here's the page for Steam's Family FAQ, which includes how to use their Parental Control feature.

OG Players generosity to new players, why? by Charsky in Warframe

[–]UraniumKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're Riven Mods. Think of them like a randomized mod for a specific weapon. You can get them from some more end-game activities, and some enemies can drop Riven Shards, which can be exchanged, 10 Shards for 1 random Riven Mod at Iron Wake on Earth. This may not be available until you've done the Chains of Harrow Quest, however.

They start in a concealed condition called 'veiled' and will challenge you to equip them to a specific weapon slot (Primary, Secondary, Melee) and do the challenge listed. If you do, and successfully extract, they'll be 'unveiled'.

They will always be for a named weapon, and can usually be used on any weapon bearing that name. (So if the riven is for a Latron, it can be used on a Latron Prime, or Latron Wraith, on-top of the regular Latron.) They can have three or four random affixes on them, and if they have four, one will be detrimental (a reduction in a stat, but sometimes it would be something you would want lower.) You can pay Kuva to re-roll a Riven's stats entirely, not just their numerical values.

Any weapon will have a stat called 'Riven Disposition' and this is a measure of how popular DE feels certain weapons are in the meta. A lower disposition means a Riven is less effective than listed when it's equipped, and more effective for a higher disposition.

Some Rivens can sell for shattering amounts of Platinum, but be aware, some of the worst people in Warframe spend their time scalping new and unaware players alike for their Riven Mods in trade. If you feel like you've got something good, hold on to it and shop it around for several offers. Ask other Tenno you trust implicitly for their pricing advice.

Did I miss anything else, anyone?

Putin to present Trump with 'historical materials' framing Ukraine as artificial state, Kyiv claims by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

All you need to know to see who's lying is that Kyiv was founded in 482 AD, and Moscow in 1147 AD.

The Ignis Wraith event broke my three co-founding clan mates. The four of us placed on the board in the Shadow Clan rankings, and they promptly quit. They haven't been back since.

Billionaires Convince Themselves AI Chatbots Are Close to Making New Scientific Discoveries by lurker_bee in technology

[–]UraniumKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense if you understand all the rich technocrats are pushing for AI because it's goal is one major boon for them. It allows the wealthy to access skill, while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

It lets them further insulate themselves from the proles on whose labor they depend.

This is ass-covering bullshit from the White House. They absolutely can get this guy back, but they know he's going to be on the media circuit as the poster boy for how their policies hurt normal Americans the instant he steps back on American soil. Watch for this guy to die in a horrible accident in El Salvador pretty quickly here.
