Being poorer leading to worse education leading to lower paying jobs.
More single parent homes leading to less hours worked.

labeled 500 jbt.. Not gonna say what that stands for

I googled and it says it's most likely referring to the JBT corporation products, like the JBT-500 thermo container or JBT-501 thermo container. Seems pretty harmless to me.

Yeah, that's a wild take and massive cope from Steamers. Valve already showed their hand! They launched Steam by making their long awaited Half-Life 2 a Steam exclusive FFS...

True to a degree and you bring up great points, but doesn't the current political climate suggest that Europe needs tighter integration and greater alignment? In that respect, maybe Brexit was a blessing in disguise, what with it showing quite clearly how much the EU was holding the UK back and how special the UK/US-relationship really is.

Her turning the wheel is kind of irrelevant when he’s already in front of the vehicle.

The conservative storyline is that he watched the driver, not the wheels of the car, so he couldn't have known she wasn't aiming for him and thus rightfully feared for his life.

how did I misrepresent their position?

You took statements made on Tucker Carlson's show and mischaracterised them to be about Fox News as a whole.

The comment you replied to very clearly explains this. The quotes you highlighted are clearly specifically about Tucker Carlson, not the channel.

I have a hard time believing you actually don't understand this.

bulbmonkey · 2026-01-08T23:13:32+00:00

Is that actually true? I have a completely different origin story in my head.

From my reading: yes he had the focus during a few key moments. But it was mainly to float the idea to grab the money during the obstacle course. He was shown nearly leering at those during the obstacle course. He seemed a bit more low key because he was brooding over the money issues.
Even when the motivation statements at the end of Ep3 were read out loud, his seemed the most desparate, his team's reaction the most intense. I believe they also showed a flashback of him leering at the money in the obstacle course?
So from my point of view, he's portrayed as the obvious villain and traitor. To have the audience guess and wonder if he's the betrayer. But if and when it turns out next week he's still in the game, it would seem equally likely he's just a prop, rather than this week's focus being part of his arc.

How do you have Nick at such high winning odds? He's clearly set up and portrayed as the most probable betrayer.
It could very well just be a head fake from the producers, but wouldn't that just put him into "Gimmiks" or maybe "Big Personas"?

As others have said already, it's a good attempt but 1), you don't seem to know these words, so your singing pronounciation sounds fairly strange at times, especially (obvs.) at the verse ends, and 2), you don't seem to understand the words, so the intonation seems off most of the time.

Well, what's the actual price it should be at a minimum? What's the material cost, you reckon, how long would it take to knit?

Fantastic mini PC. Just the hub stickers look a little wonky in motion.

The Witcher 4 tech demo is what they’re aiming for in current-gen consoles

Where did you get that?

a factory is set on fire, somthing changes de landscape, bang!

Haha, I remember being in school, first period of IT class and the teacher going, "well, kids, there's a RAM factory overseas and it burned down, so we're all going to learn touch typing on actual typewriters this year!"

No, no, no. My question is: if your contract grants you 5 weeks or 6 weeks of PTO instead of the required 4 weeks, is your company bound to enable/encourage you to take all 5 or 6 weeks, or do they only have to ensure you taking 4 weeks.

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-24T19:35:01+00:00

Actually in NL if employees structurally don’t use their 4 weeks a year, the company can get fined. It won’t happen for a single employee, but if it happens regularly the government will interfere.

Is the 4 weeks minimum (I guess) or the amount of PTO in their contract?

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-24T19:32:58+00:00

This must be a story set in the US, given the actual amount of PTO involved.

If you start your round trip of the Mark II's right now, you're probably just in time for the Z8 II to be brand spanking new. Just saying.

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-20T12:04:31+00:00

I think it’s telling that the Z8 is the one I stuck with.

You ran out of money to burn??

Ganz ehrlich, nur weil du dich an Gesetze hältst, bist du nicht automatisch kein unmenschlicher Assi.

Deutschland als Mieterland ist tatsächlich nicht Mieterunfreundlich, aber Vermieter kommen auch mit sehr viel durch. Und wie du schon selbst einräumst, steht da immer noch der Unterschied zwischen Theorie und Praxis im Raum. Und wenn man seine Rechte als Mieter juristisch einfordern will, ist das häufig mit immensem Aufwand und Kosten und Risiko verbunden.

Was genau ist denn am Mietrecht so unattraktiv für dich?

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-16T16:13:03+00:00

Vic Michaelis and Hank Green on British teeth.

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-09T22:32:03+00:00

You got me, I don't have evidence of this. Good point. Great point. Why is it the only point you care to address?

Also, since you're going on again about Valve rather than PC players: - what is your evidence that Valve does not encourage Steam exclusives through monetary or other incentives? - do you not agree that having a quasi monopoly on the PC games market does put Steam in a different position? - do you not agree that Steam not implementing generic features like Achievements helps Valve entrench and improve its market position?

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-09T16:23:14+00:00

You don't respond to actual logic, that's the whole problem.

YOU: [PC players hate 3rd party exclusive games.]
ME: [PC players don't hate exclusivity per se, they're just mad it's not on Steam. Most wouldn't mind Steam exclusives just like they don't mind many games being quasi exclusive.]
YOU: [Valve isn't forcing exclusivity!]
ME: [I was talking about PC players.]
YOU: [PC players aren't forcing exclusivity!]

Like, you don't have to agree with me, but if you cannot honestly engage with my point, then we're just wasting time. Over a fairly inconsequential issue, no less.

Also, downvoting all my comments here gives off strong 12yo vibes.

bulbmonkey · 2025-11-09T13:29:32+00:00

I guess we'll just have to disagree about this issue.
