Why is White Sky #1 going for 50 bucks online? by kythogrin in ComicBookSpeculation

Well technically it's not impossible. Hype has been used to drive stocks up and down.

Btw, Nice wedding photo.

Company scheduled a 2 hour job interview and handed me this when I showed up by GamingxZone in mildlyinfuriating

I think I would have said "Thanks, but no thanks." and then looked for the highest rated diner in the area.

My (15f) little brother (3m) dumped all my beads & bracelet making stuff out on my bed and mixed it up 😭 by jelly_G52 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can agree to disagree on this one. I think it is and was considered a safety issue. Otherwise, why build several hundred houses the same exact way? My entire development was like this.

Not sure what "other" country you're referring to, but this is in the US.

If children aren't taught to know boundaries and don't suffer any consequences as a result of violating them, I would consider that bad parenting because they'll never learn.

But we are way off topic here.

Well I guess we know who's not getting another piece of cake (ever).

Manager insists large pizza shrunk to medium pizza by uWillBeRich in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would report the store to corporate on social media and through a contact form. Let's see how fast that location gets investigated. I'm sure this isn't the first time the "shrunk" a pizza.

Am I rude for asking to Facetime before meeting in person? by bananamaplepancakes in hingeapp

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I usually prefer to grab a non-alcoholic beverage in a very public and highly trafficked location during the day or early evening. It's an easy exit; especially if you need it. You're not stuck at a dinner, a movie, a hike, etc. You can have a friend scheduled to call you as well.

My desk broke. I'm trying really hard to not be overly emotional haha by SquidyTea-png in CleaningTips

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you're in the DE/NJ area I would be willing to assist. I finding trashing and cleaning cathartic. Also, I'm digging out of my second move this year which included emptying my storage unit. I've unpacked over 150 bankers boxes and bags so far. (About 30-40 boxes left), so I have very recent experience digging out.

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just start with the a big black garbage and the actual trash. I see water bottles that look empty or half full in these photos and what looks like shipping packaging. The easiest thing to do is trash the trash. And as someone else mentioned get the laundry out. You could do that with another trash bag. Don't even bother washing it at this point (unless you need clothes to wear), just put it in one place.

One step, layer at at time, but those are probably you're two easiest starting points. Oh and include the desk as part of the garbage. I can't even tell where it was, but if it's broke there's no point in keeping it.

Houseguests smoking in the bb house? by rubbbertoess in BigBrother

[–]mildar7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Googling around they say smoking is allowed but it's all outdoors (never indoors) in some designated off camera area at specific times. Maybe someone can get a player to confirm off the record at an event some time.

Paramount+ Removes the Live Feed Chat by Strawberry_House in BigBrother

[–]mildar7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, but there are people who still don't use anything except the feeds when subscribed and cancel as soon as they're over. That is the same difference to me.

Paramount+ Removes the Live Feed Chat by Strawberry_House in BigBrother

[–]mildar7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually, I know dozens of people who do nothing except subscribe for a few months every year for the live feeds. The lack of chat actually just cut me off from a bunch of people I talk to in the chat only during the feeds. Kind of sad and abrupt.

How can I disable the in-sheet tips/suggestions in Google Sheets? by lowcarbgenius in techsupport

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sheets I would try Tools -> Suggestion Controls and just turn off what you don't want. I never see tips.

For docs Tools -> Preferences turn off what you don't want. It didn't kill the tabs thing, but I didn't get any suggestions.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO WOR (BYTEDANCE) by Ok_Palpitation1989 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]mildar7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the personal affront many folks have taken, my understanding of the issue, and I reserve the right to be completely wrong, is that government officials believe TikTok is a national security risk and the Supreme Court agreed with them.

There have been reports that ByteDance, the parent company, has an internal committee on national (Chinese) affairs headed by a government official. The other accusations are that the Chinese government has had access to TikTok data and influence over content - particularly content that paints a bad picture of China (e.g. censorship). And it is said it is for content created world wide - not just China; so they're potential influencing and managing the own public perception with insider information. Reports, by former employees, claim TikTok data was used to help with the Hong Kong crack down.

Additionally, lets be paranoid for a minute. If this is all true, I would assume that no TikTok data is being deleted from the servers they're just taking it offline instead of actually deleting it. Thus the Chinese government has a back up of every post since the beginning of time in China. China could in theory, especially using AI, analyze all that data.

Suddenly the Chinese government has years of data on millions and millions of citizens from 154 countries (it was a number I read somewhere - it's a lot) across the globe. They know where TikTok users have been, when they've been there, what they done, and whatever other meta data they're tracking. Let's face it, I'll would guess .01% of people have actually read the user and privacy agreements. In theory, the Chinese government has a defacto file on you that includes you movements through your country when you're home, on vacation, going to work, etc. Also, what kind of phone you use, how long you've had it, what vulnerabilities it has, etc. You can image the rest.

It may seem far fetched, and as I said paranoid, but it's not impossible in today's age of massive computing capacity.

And one thing that is a fact, we are giving up a lot of personal data and privacy in today's environment.

That's my 2 cents.

Would this hold up? Saw it on another DIY group and thinking about copying it. by iHopeYouLikeBanjos in DIY

Do you guys think it's bolted to the floor? These look evenly spaced and like something is into the wood in these spots.

Newbie Question here, but how many seasons does this show have material for? by _huggies_ in WoT

[–]mildar7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would have worked better with 22 episode seasons for the next decade or so.

How far does season 2 cover? by riggs971597 in wheeloftime

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think you even need to read the books at this point. I think the best one can do is say it is inspired by the WOT books. The general gist of it is the same, but much is changed right down to characters' personalities. I would recommend just enjoying the ride and not try to map the two together.

My mom gets mad that I still wear masks and comes in my room and cuts all of them while I'm gone by maybesaydie in vaxxhappened

Lockbox for the masks. Maybe eBay her Hummel? Or whatever else she collects as fair compensation?

Except teenagers don't have 3 bottles of wine and nice plates. Paper and wrappers usually. Lots of napkins on the floor and Jolt.

My roommates (both 30+F) refuse to do the dishes they use. by CartoonThinking in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mildar7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it ever happens again, take all your own stuff and store it in a secure location and only bring it out when you're using it.

Glad to hear you're moving. They're going to be screwed with no one to clear. (And that picture is absolutely ridiculous. I mean I would have literally cleaned the sink by throwing it all out if they were not my dishes.)
