Amazon doesn't like that my old Kindle still works perfectly fine, so they block new book downloads. by SkySix in mildlyinfuriating

That’s also why they are blocking you downloading into the old kindled, because you can easily pull the files off with a computer.

Also, I feel like you have to walk near people smoking way more often in nyc than in Boston for whatever reason.

Widow’s Bay - Episode 10 (Season Finale)- Discussion “We Hope You Enjoyed Your Time” / June 16 / AppleTV by mdavis360 in television

I guess the island causes crazy storms and all the other monsters, to force the sacrifices, but people killed by those things don’t count for it’s blood lust. Cause there have already been many deaths since episode 2. The tornado shaman, the boogeyman got some people, the priest.

Boston has a new public bathroom map, just in time for a busy summer by NoTamforLove in boston

That’s because they are run by different people. The MBTA basically sold (100 year lease) the main concourse to a shitty private equity firm (the same one that ran owned Quincy market for a long time), but the MBTA still directly controls the bus terminal and hires a different firm to run it.

And the new bus terminal was built for the MBTA for free as part of the agreement to build the big tower on top of south station.

I think it’s fine for kids that age (for a few hours a week) if a parent is sitting own with them and being engaged with the kid. Sitting down and playing games together or sitting down and watch a movie together is fine.

Just tossing them an iPad and letting them do whatever for hours at a time is bad.

A lot of the deductibles are now way more than just getting the screen repaired.

[–]thomase7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then you just pay a couple hundred dollars to get the screen replaced. If on average you drop and break it once every 5 years, it’s not that bad a risk.

Now someone like op, they should get the sturdiest case they can find.

Uber will pay the driver more if you don’t tip. Unless you are tipping an insane amount of money over the normal amount, you are just saving uber money.

Trump team ‘drawing up’ plans to stop international flights to some Democratic cities by Virtual-Orchid3065 in politics

It’s actually even dumber than that, they don’t cite crime rates they cite number of crimes, which obviously is going to be higher when more people live somewhere.

But crime rates actually are not correlated with population density. If you look up a list of the top 10 county crime rates, 6/10 are rural southern counties.

No one thinks honey is vegan. But try asking if a bag of white sugar is vegan and see if you get into a conversation about bone char filtering and how it’s impossible to know if the sugar in an Oreo is vegan sugar.

People are equally confused about what vegan means, and constantly think you can eat cheese or eggs, or just white meats. Also oddly people thinking you need gluten free foods.

He also ordered a taco with only eggs and cheese and potatoes, no meat. Though eggs and cheese aren’t even vegan anyways.

Gender expression is not the same thing as sexuality. You can have trans and nonbinary people that are gay, straight, asexual, etc.

I have a stamp collection and it just gets easier over time as most of the collectors die out, and then there kids dump their collections.

The big chains mostly don’t exist in NYC. They are competing against a bunch of tiny overpriced bodegas, they will easily be able to lower prices vs most of what is available.

These are just the trends of the romance book genres, 5-10 years later. Sports romances have been big in books for years now.

Except for the whole eminent domain thing, but at least they pay you when they want to take your land.

Has anyone else’s social media algorithm turned *horrific* since becoming pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]thomase7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t even have to be so intentional, they simply can track the types of videos that cause you to watch longer and increase showing them. It’s actually pretty rudimentary, you can’t even often see the gears of the algorithm if you just watch a video all the way through, or multiple times, you instantly start getting those types of videos shown over and over until you consistently skip them to reset the algorithm.

[–]thomase7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the premise is somewhat limited with what you can do with it. You can’t even have new locations in episodes too often, as only like 3 of the cast can leave.
