A lot of people don’t want to share walls.

“Hey uh, I have 3 loud kids and a wife who is loud during sex. Wanna be my neighbor?”

…and that is okay. He is still doing an incredible job and is an incredible public figure.

Nobody is perfect, nor do they have to be.

Outside of DIY, end users don’t care. See: Apple.

Also, if you have a laptop with LPDDR5, it is soldered. If it has DDR5 or some variant of DDR4, it is likely also soldered as most OEMs did away with DIMM slots.

I don’t like or agree with the practice.

Both Come and Pepsi doubled - tripled their prices in the time between 2020 and 2023.

In 2019 (in my area) you could get a 2 liter of soda for $0.79-$1.00. Non-sale price was $1.49. A 12 pack of cans was $2-$2.50 on sale with a none-sale price of $4.

2 liters now are “on sale” for $2-$3 each and non-sale price is $3-$3.50.

Cans sale price is $4 at minimum and non-sale price is $7.99–8.99 depending on the store.

I have significantly cut back on my diet soda intake as a result, so i guess there is that?

To put another way, in the best of times in 2019 I could buy a 5x12 pack of cans for $10. Today I would have to pay $20-$45 for the exact same product depending on if it was on sale or not.

When our economy finally falters, these companies will be the first to scream for bailouts and other nonsense.

Like dude, just go back to pre-pandemic pricing.

Pro tip: any company that requires you to prove that you are “sick” in order to get a day off is a shitty company. Find another job.

Why are you downloading chrome? You are supposed to download Firefox.

As an autistic person with ADHD I am going to leave this one alone. 😬

Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.

People think I am full of it when I say that my household income (largish household with kids) is a quarter million a year and we are basically living like we are middle class. Money just doesn’t go as far as it used to.

As a millennial, I never would have imagined working my way up to this point only to find I can’t even buy a house. Oh sure, I could make the bare minimum down payment and get stuck with a super high mortgage payment, but if I lose my job or become disabled or unable to work, we would have no way to pay for it.

Groceries, housing, and insurance costs have more than doubled for us since 2019.

Have you guys contacted law enforcement? It may surprise you. A startup I worked for had the same issue and contacted the FBI. They were able to quickly (within hours) find the person doing it despite him using VPNs and other tools for OpSec.

Bitwarden because it is open source.

Damn, Mr. Musk could have made more money betting on stocks mentioned in r/wallstreetbets, and they ALWAYS lose money. Dude seriously needs to have twitter do the opposite of what he thinks.

I have never seen a billionaire try to go from billions to zero so hard in my life. It is like he is showing the U.S. government why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Is there a fund that lets me do long term shorts on rich people?
