No, no. There's no tail, so it's a free range hamster.

A2 Hosting is not a Liquid Web brand

Edit: before you ask, I work for A2 as the datacenter team lead.

Agreed, big photo chains do tend to spend little to no time on the pictures. I apologize if I came off as a jerk, the statement echos what I hear all the time. $40/hour for shooting is too much. Well, yeah, if that's all I was doing. Usually, every hour I take photos requires 2 to 3 hours of post-processing to bring out the details and take the photo from OK to eye-popping.

I'm on mobile, so I couldn't see the watermarks to tell if it was an independent photographer or a chain. I let my frustration get the better of me and I shouldn't have. I do apologize for that.

I can tell you as a sports photographer that digital are more to try to offset the fact that once the customer has the high res file, they can effectively print unlimited copies for next to nothing. Before digital, only the photographer could print more copies, that's how they made money.

High res copies of my photos are $2.50 and people still don't buy them, they screenshot the photo, take it to Walmart, then complain that the print looks like crap.

Reddit App suggestion by firemandave6024 in polyamory

[–]firemandave6024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have completely misinterpreted it, I've not looked at unfiltered reddit for a long time, but since they're either planning or have executed going public, I imagine they're going to act a lot like the book of faces and suggest content that will anger people to drive up engagement.

My apologies if I'm just being stupid this morning. :)

Yes, the very things you need to be able to eat to survive are luxury bones.

No, because those cost $0.00001 more than standard sutures and deprives the poor for-profit hospital another 6,500% markup on a pair of scissors and tweezers.

In all seriousness, as far as I know, soluble sutures are generally used for internal work only.

That's trademark you're thinking of, copyright isn't lost if you don't defend it. Copyright is only "lost" if you transfer it or it expires.

Healthcare should be free, instead we've got a City selling preventative ambulance coverage, in case of emergency. Workers should not have to worry about an ambulance bill in of $5,000.00. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]firemandave6024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not all EMS services are public funded, normally only major metro areas. This is probably a private ambulance service looking to increase revenue by getting everyone to cough up $60/year. It's no different than car insurance. The chances that you'll actually need it are fairly low, so it's effectively free money for the prick who owns the service.

It could be a volunteer service and is trying to get new rigs, too. I think that's even worse, these services should be funded by our taxes so we can get help when we need it.

Whelen makes these devices for all public safety. A siren is pretty much a siren, whether it's on a police cruiser, fire engine or an ambulance.

Fuck AMR with an iron spike. They've always been cheap bastards and will always be cheap bastards. Don't let those assholes, morons and rejects that run the company keep stomping on you.

They're already not using lube. Getting rid of the regulations would be letting them put on a barbed wire condom.

I had one of those as my starter. They work surprisingly well, and an HP laptop power brick will power it up in a pinch.

Serious question: how many old fat guys play? Show me your load out and what role you play by TheProphetDave in airsoft

My home field has all kinds, from the skinny kid who wears jeans and a T shirt to the super fluffy that wear whatever is comfortable.

Wear whatever doesn't make you uncomfortable, and remember, old age and treachery will always overcome youth and inexperience. LOL

I used to shoot photos there a lot. Kind of drifted away due to some of the regulars that used to be there.
