I can't believe people were buying into their "franchise". They approached me in 2020 when they were trying to expand into the town I live and I had a downtown warehouse to operate out of. After they got done explaining everything, I laughed until they hung up.

You had to buy the scooters from them at around $600 each, you were responsible for all the recovery/batteries/maintenance/damage/theft caused by customers, warranty was non-existent ("call our chinese supplier and they will totally hook you up"), and after that they took 20% off the top. Some quick math put it at over 6 months before each scooter became profitable IF nothing happened to it in that time. Someone throws it in the canal just to be a dick? Sucks to be you, you're out $600 + whatever else you've put into it every time it happens.

Really came off to me that they were making their money selling to suckers who thought they were going to be entrepreneurs.

Edit: They did apparently did get someone here into it because I saw them around for a few months before disappearing completely.

After referencing actress-comedienne and Trump supporter Roseanne Barr earlier in the interview, Grammer was asked by host Justin Webb if he was still a supporter of the former president.

“I am,” Grammer said. “And I’ll let that be the end of it.”

This is Mo. He wandered into my work last month and just stuck around. He needs flea meds, shots, and to get fixed but I'm not sure how old he is. I'd ask the vet but it's a 2-3 week wait to get in; I don't want to finally get an appointment and then have him be too young or something.

I'm guessing 4ish months? Looks like a Holstein. Thanks for your help.

Pre-primary 3rd party candidates have their place. They can attend debates and can force their opponents to concede to popular ideas for fear of losing votes. Past that, yes they are just spoiler votes in our two party system.

Are you really blaming Nader for the 2000 shitshow?

Edit:

The national Democratic Party is the farthest left it’s been since before Watergate

That's still not left enough for me.

While 3rd party candidates aren't even remotely viable until we get ranked choice voting; Anything that helps to pull centrist dems left is a good thing.

I think Nexus should be able to ultimately decide what they do/don't host on their platform. Regardless what it is. They have many mods that aren't my taste. I don't install them.

Any other Motorola phone users get this notification pop-up? I found a post on the forum that shall not be named and it seems like a worldwide Motorola glitch but no official word yet.

Just wanted to repost here in case anyone else was weirded out by what Ricardo is doing on your phone.

I don't think they're downvoting because of your choice of derogatory terms. They're downvoting because it's a stupid take. Find an instance that aligns with what you want to see. Don't participate in ones that don't.

NiX:

I love you guys and postal series, but I’m not made of money, if I can get a game for cheaper I’d rather pay less than more.

Running With Scissors:

Which is why we’re telling you to pirate our games instead of paying a scammer who will cost us money and probably even get your key revoked Our games are cheap right now through official sites. Is saving a few cents worth lowering the chances for releasing another POSTAL game?

NiX:

Isn’t pirating illegal? You want your fans get fines and shit? Now they are on sale so I might pick up some but normally i still rather get the game of g2a for cheaper

Running With Scissors:

You can’t get fines if the owners of the IP give you permission to download. Just know that by getting on G2A, we not only get no money, we also have to pay for the chargeback, that’s the core of the problem and it means no new games in the future and no more RWS

Edit: fixed formatting.

If I check any of those selections, click save, and then refresh the page, they are unchecked again. But all the other settings retain their status.

I have a laptop with obsolete, licensed diagnostic software that I use on old equipment still in service. I've kept it alive longer than it should have been, but it's only a matter time before a disk or mobo failure puts me in a bad spot.

I'd like to make a clone of the current OS (Windows 10) as-is that could be run in VirtualBox or some other VM as a backup. Is it as simple as making a disk image with DD and then loading that up in VirtualBox? I'm sure it's not, but what am I overlooking? Or what other software would be better to use?

I'm fairly computer literate, but a mechanic by trade; So, not an expert.

Thanks for any help.

Mediocre successors?

My brain says yes but my bowels say no.

Brain still wins every time. I can handle some discomfort in the future for a mouth full of bliss right now.

But we're totally going to own huffman by putting "fuck spez" all over it! He'll probably shut the site down out of sheer embarrassment.

Or 3. Something to boost engagement numbers they can show potential shareholders.

Don't flush your pets, people. That's how we get toilet gaters.

Voice commands on anything. It just feels silly.
