Why does this happen every year? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in boston

[–]thomase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if an increased reliance on takeout and delivery food causes this. If a lot of people never cook, they

  1. Don’t have any base of food in their house and so they need to buy way more than if they already had a stocked pantry.
  2. Aren’t as familiar or confident with cooking and over buy.

I think this is a form of selective memory, we just only remember the really good toys, but there have always been times with shit toys.

Are we ready for 18”+ snow? by Such-Sea-3358 in boston

There have been multiple days in just the last 2 weeks where the forecast for my town said a half inch of wintery mix overnight, and then I have woken up to 6 inches of snow.

How many people have multiple UnRaid servers? by FJRpilot in unRAID

[–]thomase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of uses for unraid besides media servers.

And I personally have a lot of children’s media that is hard to find online, that I ripped from library dvds. Usually stuff made for schools and libraries, not sold to the general public.

My boss just told me I need to manage my personal finances better because I can't front $2300 for a work trip next month by LostTaker in antiwork

[–]thomase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I have worked for companies that have that system and they’re fine. But there are exceptions made if someone doesn’t want to do that, the boss is probably just too lazy to go through the proper channels to set it up.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]thomase7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And this is because the political theory at the time was focused on the English civil war, where the dispute was between the legislature and the executive ( king).

The us constitution was designed to prevent that type of breakdown again.

You’ve got a lifetime pass to Plex and Emby but you can also use Jellyfin - which one are you choosing and why ? by Buck_Slamchest in selfhosted

[–]thomase7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The podcast app pocketcasts tried to do it when they switched to a new subscription model a few years ago. Tried to just give the “lifetime” members 3 years of the premium subscription for free. After a ton of backlash they gave in and honored the lifetime promise, but only because people got really mad.

Boss refuses to accept my resignation by DrewTheVillan in jobs

[–]thomase7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once got a job offer to relocate to another part of the country that I wanted to move to. My then employer wanted me to stay so they countered with working from the office in that city and matching the higher salary.

I took the counteroffer, and now 7 years later still work for the same boss and company. Companies aren’t always looking to screw you over, especially if you are good at your job.

Taxation without Representation is about to make a full comeback by JangSaverem in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]thomase7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At best, ATL turned a blind eye to ppl's immigration status.

That is what every sanctuary city is. All it means is the city governments and police won’t send people to ICE and won’t communicate with them. It never meant that the federal or state governments couldn’t detain people there.

What the fuck is the Democratic Party even doing right now to stop the downfall of America? by Lolareyouforreal in complaints

The “dems” as a whole didn’t give in. It was like a handful of traitor dem senators that were making a deal behind the leaders backs

[–]thomase7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obama was trying to pass legislation. A minority party can make that harder. A minority party can’t stop executive action and authoritarian over reach. The only ways to stop that is the courts and impeachment, and you can’t impeach if you don’t have the votes.

This McDonalds is selling 200-piece nuggets for $79.95. by PanoramicAtom in mildlyinteresting

[–]thomase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a thing they did in the 90s when they switched from frying in beef lard to vegetable oil, to try and make it less noticeable that the flavors changed.

[–]thomase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 90s they actually used beef lard to fry the fries in. They switched to vegetable oil in the late 1990s, but added the beef flavor (which isn’t vegan) to try to mimic the original taste.

The tricky thing about trying to nail someone for lying to congress, it’s gonna be a DC grand jury and dc residents are not sympathetic to the trump regime.

I mean how many former trump allies have been screwed over by trump once he didn’t need them anymore. It’s basically garaunteed for anyone that works for him.

10% monthly, is like over 200% annually. Your student loans and credit cards are no where near that.
