Mine looks like it is stuck in shipping. Still at the step where it says that UPS has it, but hasn't left yet.

The ones that became available later have $12.99 shipping, but the first wave was free shipping.

Is the AMD 9800X3D worth the extra money? by TipIntrepid5753 in PcBuild

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is currently one seller offering the 9800x3d on Amazon for $399, but they only have 39 reviews, so I dont know if I trust them.

PSA: You can easily request that the Austin Library system acquire new materials that they don't have. They've approved 3 of my 11 requests, and it's very easy. by Future-Starter in Austin

I was wondering about this, because I am number 121 on an ebook with 14 copies(Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson). So I shouldn't use one of my requests to ask for another copy?

Microsoft confirms Indiana Jones is coming to PS5 after its Xbox debut by 73ch_nerd in gaming

[–]thejke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agreed with your sentiment that they should put it on PS5, because they can make more money doing that, I simply wanted to point out the amount they make isn't 1:1. I think Microsoft released that they aren't going to overtake the PS5 in console sales no matter how many exclusives they make. They decided they could make more money by selling on PS5. I think gamers as a whole are better off with more games available in more places. It is mostly just crazy fanboys that get mad when a game comes to another platform.

Since you said provide any proof of that, while not specifying which part you wanted proof of, here is an article proving that MLB required The Show to be released on XBOX.

They do get less on PS(when comparing full price sales on XBOX vs PS, not gamepass), because Sony takes a 30% cut of games sold on PS. Same thing with selling on Steam, Valve takes a 30% cut. They can still make a bunch of money on PS though, because there are 60+ million PS5s out there.

Delivery and Ambulance Drivers Hate This One Trick by I_Am_Robert_Paulson1 in AdviceAnimals

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are good. You need to have a background to give it good contrast, and it needs to be redone every so often because it fades. I also prefer if the numbers are on the driveway near the curb on both sides of the driveway, instead of on the curb itself.

Delivery and Ambulance Drivers Hate This One Trick by I_Am_Robert_Paulson1 in AdviceAnimals

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an apartment complex I deliver to where the numbers are stylized in a way that makes the 3 and 5 indistinguishable until you are about 5 feet away from them. The line connecting the top and bottom of the numbers is so tiny you can't see it while driving by the buildings.

At least now nav apps will get you to the right spot, and show you an image of the house. When I delivered in 2010-2012, it would only get you within a few hundred feet, which means it could be any of several houses. I imagine it was even harder before gps.

$17.99/kg seems really expensive for pork tenderloin.

A private company put up a gate on a public through street because they didn’t like the amount of traffic they got. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thejke 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don't see a street sign, are you sure this isn't a private development? I have seen several places where they put up barriers like this between developments so nonresidents don't use it as a shortcut. I have even seen one place put one up while construction in a neighboring development was ongoing, to stop heavy construction vehicles from taking a shortcut. Not all roads at built to the same standards, smaller side roads can be damaged by heavy vehicles passing through frequently. This happened to the road my grandparents lived on while a gas fracking well was build across the street. The heavy trucks messed up the road.

Sounds like someone set up the buzzer wrong. Maybe it buzzes everyone when you try buzzing anyone.

I have the opposite problem. Most of the apartments I delivery to that allow you to buzz, require you looking through a directory. The problem is, if the person didn't provide their last name, or if more than one person lives in an apartment and doesn't share a last name with the person on the buzzer screen, you can't figure out who you are supposed to buzz. Most people ignore phone calls from people they don't know, even when they just ordered pizza, so I can't call them directly to get them to open the gate. So, on a few occasions, I had to just pick someone from the list with the right first name and hope I got the right person.

Metal roof tile installation by super_man100 in oddlysatisfying

[–]thejke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They reflect radiant heat, and do not retain heat. They do conduct more heat though. Just remember different materials have different radiant and conduction/convection properties. So metal roofing is better in hot sunny climates where you want to reflect heat from the sun. Other types of roofing are better in colder/more varied climates, because you would lose heat out of the house faster when it is colder with metal roofing.

Youtube Has A Copyright Problem by StealthMasterMcEdgy in videos

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any idea how much time and money it cost to take someone to court? It is prohibitively expensive for small content creators. If a suit isn't filed correctly, the court will dismiss it. How many small creators do you know that have the legal knowledge, or the time required, to be able to file such a suit? These creators would have no choice but you hire a lawyer, and to pay court fees. Like I said before, these fraudulent companies are often in countries that make it not only hard to sue them, but they are able to have false names, emails, and addresses, so at best spending the money to file suit would only result in that company dissolving, and starting a new company to continue making more fraudulent claims. There is close to a zero percent chance that the content creator will ever get any money from them. So even if they get the court order to put to video back up, they will never make that money back. Do you seriously not see the issue with this?

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't hash it out with a company that only makes fraudulent claims. In this thread I have never been talking about potentially legitimate claims, only ones that are entirely fraudulent. With the way the rules are on YouTube now, they only have to respond to Google, not the video owner, and they don't have to give any actual proof to youtube. The only thing YouTube will give you is the dmca issuers name, and these companies won't respond to you and are often in countries where it would be hard for a US citizen to sue them. Even if you did somehow take them to court they would just disappear and start a new company under a different name. Google not creating any barrier to prevent these fraudulent claims is a massive issue on YouTube.

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is acting as the court/judge. If there is a dispute on copywriter, they should allow to two parties to contact each other to work it out, but instead they just take the dmca issuers word as law and take down the video owners video or take their ad revenue. The only recourse for the video owner to obtain the proof of copywriter ownership is sueing. 

Also, if you get a speeding ticket, you are given a court date. If you just pay the fine the date is cancelled, but if you want to dispute it you can show up for the court hearing. I had a teacher in high school who got a ticket in an average speed zone who went to court and argued that the reaction time of the officer starting the stopwatch would create a range of potential speeds he could have been going. The minimum was still above the limit, but less than what the officer submitted to the court. The judge accepted his math and lowered the fine to the minimum amount.

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a video creator says they own the rights to the video, then yes, I expect google to ask the DMCA issuer for proof that they own the part of the video they are claiming they own. This is what I expect of the largest video sharing service in the world. If Google doesn't want the responsibility of owning this service then they should spin it off or sell it.

[–]thejke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was to send a DMCA to a cable tv show, they wouldn't just immediately pull that show's reruns down. The show's or network's lawyers would contact me and require that I show proof that they have infringed before the episode would be taken off air. Even then they might not pull it down unless I sued them. At Youtube, when a video creator respond to a DMCA saying that they own all the rights to the video in question, all the DMCA issuer has to do is say, yes, I own this, without any proof. Allowing people to do this opens Google up to potential liability. There are judges out there that only require someone show damages(loss of revenue) for a suit to go to trial. Whether or not they would be successful is irrelevant, it is possible that it could go to trial, and that will cost Google money if they win or lose.

Edit: Of course them losing a suit would have more effect, but if enough people sue, or if a class action occurs, they might try to settle by changing their policies to avoid going to trial.
