The lack of any object permanence when you look away is so off-putting. I get a few minutes of expecting everything to be that way after playing the demo a bit. It is kind of interesting how sometimes textures will turn into landscapes and vice versa.

This is why the Olympics were originally in the nude.

Polls also only try to measure public opinion and don’t quantify the very real effects that the vast toolkit of dirty tricks play in the election process, including whatever October surprises are lurking around the corner.

I keep seeing posts that polls show it’s 50-50 but polymarket has Trump’s odds at 60, Harris’ at 40 with over $2B in wagers. Terrifying.

Thanks! I’ve done office work too but retail always has this appeal where you get to work directly with the random public and provide an actual, immediate service of value. I really wish it paid better but its frankly incredible to get such a broad view of your regional community if you can figure out how to get people to open up. Having good coworkers that support one another in an active environment is so great too.

Of course, many complaints and concerns about how the industry is changing currently, with AI and election time anxiety, corporate weirdness etc but the site I’m at runs well and has it’s own community that serves the larger area. Amazing stuff, I hope I find a job with a thriving wage that has at least some of those qualities someday.

I’ve worked retail where clothes were a component and the most frequent returns are for clothes too small, like a large exchanged for an XL or an XXL or the largest available size returned for store credit. There are a lot more of the very small sizes than there are very small people, anyone who fits into an S or M has a lot of options and not much competition. This is also more true of women’s clothes than men’s.

Also, clothes aimed more at an older, like 60s 70s years old consumer will have more reasonable size distribution in my experience, but the clothes will be extremely frumpy and odd.

Also, shop the clearance rack, especially when it’s been recently filled with new stuff, there is so much decent cheap clothing out there for like a couple bucks a piece.

I worked doing returns frequently and a lot of women doing returns clearly had the idea they would get clothes that would be fun and racy and it didn’t work out the way they saw it in their mind’s eye, which makes me happy they at least tried. Chase that dream!

I feel like I should mention something about fast fashion and slave labor producing so much clothing today. Also, quite a bit of what is produced doesn’t sell and where does it go? They have to make room for the new stuff.

I dont know if any of that is what you are looking for OP but those are my thoughts on the matter.

A less crowded gym because more people cancelled their memberships? Nice!

I’d tell them to knock 50-70 off for the condition of the surfaces. No idea about the model and specs or if that’s worth it but that’s an ugly case on it and I would be grossed out using it, would probably have to tape a sheet of paper over the worn out spots to be comfortable touching that surface.

Googled it and:

Gut microbiota: PAs can improve the diversity of gut microbes, and can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria while decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria.

Fecal odor: PAs can reduce the level of putrefactive substances in the feces, which can reduce fecal odor.

Fecal pH: PAs can decrease fecal pH.

Antimicrobial activity: PAs can have an antimicrobial effect on potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Prebiotic effect: PAs can have a prebiotic effect on beneficial bacteria.

Looks like I’m buying some seeded grapes for science!

Another casualty of the auroral storm. Darn those cosmic rays!

People used 3.1 and 3.1.1 for years even though it was running on top of MSDOS but show me someone who used 3.0? Or 1.x, 2.x? Unheard of. Version 3 started off with some problems that needed a more or less immediate large update.

I mean if you have a usb lying around, putting ubuntu on it and trying is free. Worth a shot, you could get access to the drive too if it works. If that doesn’t work you could still bring it into the shop to get worked on.

What else beyond bumper stickers could they do, a database of people with persistent junk in unoccupied seats? A database of people who never wash their car?

An open proxy war with two different co-allied nuclear powers, you say?

I was reading about this a couple days ago. With the wider adoption of Linux these days, is there an easy solution to scan for a way to eliminate this for the less experienced end user?

You’re describing Brendan and his mom from Home Movies

8. Your police are run by the local counties. I think your schools also? I know you have state and federal police also, but most places only have police and schools at those levels.

This might be dependent on state but any place I’ve ever lived has had 3 kinds, state police, county “sherrifs department” police and town/city police. To hear theres a part of the US with sherrifs department police is odd to me, usually the state police would take that role in rural areas without their own police department in my experience.

How bout a well made modern update to the Megaman franchise in the style of Megaman II and III
