Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it’s basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.

Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don’t scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.

I’m glad people still remember this, I immediately heard it in my head when I saw this post

My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn’t turn the lights off ever again, there’s literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.

Yay for having a mild headache every single day!

Hey, I just set this up yesterday! Worked flawlessly for me so far, seems like a great project.

Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn’t it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess…

I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I ‘graduated’ lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

Perhaps alt left?

Excellently put.

It wasn’t always, and it’s not explicitly a trans sub, but yeah it’s definitely been very trans-oriented since well before we migrated here from reddit

You know, I don’t really agree with this, but I appreciate you saying it. We need more people just coming out and saying what they think, rather than clamming up because their opinions are now unpopular but then continuing to act/bully the same behind the scenes. Bluntness is a virtue in my world, because I can actually parse what you say this way lmao

I believe discrete is the word you’re looking for there, though discreet is really funny in this context.

Ughhhhhh, just logging in in the morning and seeing the tab header go to ‘Inbox (27)’ is awful.

+1 for airvpn. I’ve never had any issues, port forwarding works flawlessly, and you can get some incredible deals if you buy 3 years at a time during a sale.

I am continually reminded how glad I am that I made SJW my home base. Thank you.

Say what you will, I had more fun with the item servers being down than I have in many years. It felt like an unplanned community event or something to me, shit was awesome.

(Point taken that it literally only happened due to Valve being negligent though)

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

That’s fucking awesome.

I hope not. I really enjoy immersing myself in political spheres I don’t necessarily agree with just to see what makes them tick, it’s really interesting to me and humanizes people I might otherwise hate as a matter of principle. Music turns out to be a really easy way to do this.

I can’t imagine I’m the only one, though it’s definitely not something I often see online.

I use Kagi too - they have a feature I haven’t seen before where you can basically optimize your own SEO. You can uprank or downrank any given website to varying degrees based on how much of that site you want to see in your future search results (I use this a lot for game wikis that have since migrated off of Fandom etc, but the stale Fandom page always shows up first in google search).

They’re also working on a feature to warn you which articles are paywalled directly from the search result, which I will use the hell out of.

They also have something they call Lenses, which are essentially search profiles that emphasize certain types of results (programming lens upranks stackoverflow, github, and API docs for instance).

All in all I’ve been extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the directions they’re exploring in. And being able to easily chat up the devs in discord doesn’t hurt either.

Since becoming an adult it has become increasingly obvious to me that early high-school level stuff is impossibly complex for a significant chunk of the population.
