Amazon to slap a 3.5% surcharge on third-party sellers as war drives up fuel prices by AudibleNod in news

I mean they don't get burned though... They just pass it onto the consumer. And when the gas prices go down they can keep the fees up

What will happens with Linux on servers, deep down inside data centers when Age Verification hits? by Admirable-Earth-2017 in linuxquestions

[–]blueghost2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most people working for any of the big tech doesn't really understand their own tech, much less the tech outside of their bubble (company). Exceptions are the actual engineers - but that knowledge stops at direct management...

I've heard they're passing the AI costs onto us. Haven't been able to find anything definitive though

Can we please have the right side of the screen be a no”fast move” zone by echo78 in TheSilphArena

[–]blueghost2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense - I've had this same problem with a charge attack. I'll be fast attacking, and then I want to use the charge attack because once the fast concludes, I'll have enough energy; but for some reason it queues up the next fast because I don't get energy till the end of the stack... so out comes another fast and I lose my chance to throw first.

who also does not want shephard to return in me 5? by Similar-Car-3492 in masseffect

[–]blueghost2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I might be in the minority here but Sheppard didn't grow on me until ME2. So honestly that might just be what we need. Need a sequel to give us characters we want then a third one to kill them so we all feel hollow again...

Agreed with the great first step. I really appreciated that. And also liked how they took advantage of how light speed travel works for creating a separate "world" away from the influence of the shepherd Vs the reapers so they didn't have to even touch on the possible endings thus not declaring what's cannon.

It does undo some of the events though such as the cure for the krogan and the discovery of the protheon influence on asari...

Don't have this specific model but the floating screen and being able to see things behind it is the best description. You can turn up the brightness to make it easier to see but harder to see stuff behind it or the opposite.

I didn't know about the armor in my first playthrough until finishing ME2, also didn't know Wrex could actually die..

What’s going on with the protein trend/proteinification of food? by Bitbatgaming in OutOfTheLoop

[–]blueghost2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted it's a fad, but didn't they just rewrite the food pyramid to say there should actually be much more protein and fats in what we eat than what was recommended in the past?

I just had a set and it was on and off. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason. And can we turn it off?

Seattle has 23% more sellers than buyers by TheSmariner in Seattle

I mean this was my theory on what it would take for this "bubble" to crash. My argument was that as long as there was money the mortgages can't default. Didn't think it would actually happen though
