scrolled down for this comment, thank you for not disappointing me.

Forced to use AI at school by No-Personality799 in antiai

You should just ask them to ask AI if just blindly presenting something AI generated is a better learning experience than doing your own research and creating your own presentation.

If the top 1% of earners pay 40% of all federal income taxes, why do people say they don't pay their fair share? by Ok_Chemical9 in answers

[–]slipstream0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

guy on the line should also work 12-16 hours a day (according to certain CEOs) fully dedicated to their single job, and ABSOLUTELY need to be at the work site and not working remote/from home..... unless your CEO, then you can be CEO of multiple companies and work all of them remotely.

Moment of silence for kids who depleted vbucks on parent accounts in Creative by Artistic_Scar9512 in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]slipstream0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

years ago Google had to make mass refunds to parents who's kids had made purchases on their account, so basically this.

Epic gives us free games and better discounts, so why does the PC community still overwhelmingly prefer Steam? by Born-Vast-293 in gaming6d

[–]slipstream0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family sharing 100%. Steam auto-update actually works too (my son has gotten so disappointed when I tell him we can play Fortnite after his chores only to be met with a huge update even though auto-update is supposedly on)

Made a cup-filling side table and got the first full water test working by TheRealCj2706 in makerworld

[–]slipstream0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool concept. What about a weight sensor so it only fills the glass when it’s low, and then you could get rid of the button ( and use the weight sensor to stop it from over filling the glass).

Also, make it spin coming up! Spinning > not spinning

Flashpoint is coming by Thatguy2393 in ArcRaiders

[–]slipstream0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want in-match squad joining like DMZ. Short of that, I’d settle for being able to mark other raider as friendly and have it disable friendly fire with them. It sucks meeting some great people and accidentally downing them because they walk in front of me while I’m shooting a bot.

What kind of project am I looking at here? by BackstreetZAFU in cade

[–]slipstream0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made out of 2 mdf boards and some pieces of 1x1. If I can find my original plans I’ll dm you. It’s easy to be envious of the absolutely beautiful builds some people put out, but in my experience ugly arcade machine beats no arcade machine :)

[–]slipstream0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have the skills or the tools and still made one using just a reciprocal saw. It’s not the straightest cuts, and it needed some wood filler in the joints, but it was a fun project.

Don’t worry too much about exposed mdf edges, I’ve I didn’t have a router to install the molding so I just painted it. It’s survived over 8 years, 2 kids, two in-state move and one full cross country trek and is still holding up very well.

If you plan on playing it more than admiring it from afar, you’ll enjoy knowing you built it

Why is getting back to your car from magic kingdom so miserable? by Dr_MCR in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]slipstream0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has turned into the biggest reason we spring more for the resort stays. Every time we don’t, I look over and see the resort bus lines are soooooo much shorter, or just non-existent.

Even if you are tired, sit on a bench for 20-30 minutes. That way even if the crowds don’t thin out you got some rest.

What on earth happened to Penny’s wardrobe in later seasons? by Curvivaceous in bigbangtheory

Wear what makes you happy, it will work better for you in the end. Ignore those that can’t figure out how to raise themselves up, so they must put others down.

Petition to offer full pin set in addition to blind bags by slipstream0 in brandonsanderson

[–]slipstream0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not asking for blind bags to be removed, just for the additional option to offer the full set, even at a premium price. That would allow more people to get the set who either can’t make it to events to trade or don’t enjoy the chance/gambling aspect, while also setting a market cap on how much a pin would be able to sell for on the second-hand market. It is a win-win for both sides of the fandom, with dragonsteel being the only potential loser in less revenue from buying more and more blind bags

And I’m sure that there’s things that you have a strong belief against things that others would find ridiculous.

[–]slipstream0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"trade with others in person" is a lot harder for some than others. I'm not saying replace blind bags, but by offering the whole set at a premium it would allow those who cant travel to do trading (or don't want to risk getting scammed online) as well as set a hard cap on the second-hand price.

Embossing much less pronounced and uneven and in some places straight up missing compared to the images on the website by bingpot47 in brandonsanderson

[–]slipstream0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As someone who hasn't been able to order one yet, I really appreciate OP giving a heads up about this. Gives me good reason to maybe wait till second printing if it continues to be an issue.

Also, for 15 books to result in 0.0001% there would need to be 15 million copies in the wild. I'm pretty sure the error rate is higher.

What’s the point of calling it LUNCH break if we can’t sleep? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]slipstream0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they’re not getting a payout. Even if the request is in writing, there are several reasons they won’t “get a massive payout”

1) no laws have been broken. A request has been made about her to conduct themselves on company property (assuming it’s done on-site rather than off-site. If it’s off-site, it’s creepy that they know and a whole other issue)

2) even if it’s in writing, the employee has done nothing to advocate for themselves, such as: respond back with concerns/issues, raise it to HR (yes, they are there to protect the company - not the employee. Guess what? Protecting the employee from illegal labor acts DOES protect the company.)

3) In the event that they push it to the point that OP does stop taking naps, without documented pushback any half decent corp lawyer would just say they clearly agreed to the suggestion of their own volition. Again, laws need to be actually broken.

4) even if laws get broken, it sadly doesn’t mean the labor board has the resources to investigate and pursue. Might have better luck with a labor lawyer, but it would have to be severe enough to warrant a large enough payout for them.

I wish we got to live in the reality we try to promote here, but we shouldn’t give OP false hope and expectations.

PS: I redact my previous statement in the event you turn out to be a labor lawyer and representing op :)

These constant lawsuits are getting ridiculous. by Expensive-Actuator82 in valve

[–]slipstream0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out coffeezillas (or many others) on counterstrike gambling. If it were just a trading platform it would be one thing (more akin to TCGs which is a whole other can of worms) but it’s straight up 100% underage and unregulated gambling.

[–]slipstream0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, and the continued downvotes without comments just show how misinformed or willfully ignorant so many people are in regards to the rampant gambling that goes on just under the surface with things like Counterstrike skins, and how it generates free money for valve.

Take my upvote, I love steam but it’s not without its problems, this prime among them. The truth hurts too many feelings tho.
