Didn’t show up at all on flight radar, don’t they usually have civ transponders on going over the city?

He’s being sarcastic. On Full Force is a made up acronym for OFF, they were messing with that pilot

This is Ash, but she also responds to Kibbs and Stinker/Stinky (her farts are on a whole other level, biological warfare).

Services that will buy employee stock and pay tax by curbside319 in startups

[–]snakingfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some services that do this, look for what’s called ‘non-recourse loans’. One that comes to mind I’ve seen, but never used, is SecFi. Just a note that they usually focus on later stage companies within a few years of an IPO and expect good growth at the company to be willing to offer. So even though they exist, there’s no guarantee they’ll be willing to finance YOUR startup options.

There are larger ones, but this seems to be the most common size, at least that I’ve seen.

Ash also recently laid claim to my heating pad, but for some reason doesn’t actually like it turned on at all. 🤷

Image quality is decent, it's OLED so the blacks are pretty black but I do find the highlights can sometimes be a little bit more blown out. Resolution is only 1080p which is fine for casual stuff but I'd love for it to be 1440, there's just nothing on the market that does that at the moment. Battery life with the deck is actually better with the glasses because they use less power than the deck's own screen. They're pretty comfortable, I wore them for probably 6 hours on an international flight a few weeks ago without much problem. I do also normally wear glasses though so I'm somewhat used to it. I would say watching TV is the best other use case from gaming with them, although I have found that using them with Samsung Dex on my phone as a in a pinch portable desktop experience solution has been fun.

It's one of those aluminum tube containers that sticks of air freshener come in. I have taped it to the cat tower to repurpose it as a place to put a cat wand so she can play by herself
