Only 50 center per hour, you say? I mean it’s only 75 cents, that won’t even buy a soda anymore. Who wouldn’t pay a dollar an hour to play the games they love?

I predict it gets canceled.

I suppose if the AI bubble pops, and memory and CPU prices crash, then maybe it will happen. But, that’s going to be very hard on the entire economy, so maybe it will be canceled for that reason, instead.

I don’t know whether this study is still taught as example in high school, which is where I learned about it. I doubt it.

You’ll own prime beach front property in no time.

Oi. I had mine in my hall closet, looks a lot like yours, including the Noctua cooler and stack of hard drives. In spite of adding a vent to the top of the closet door, and a big gap at the floor it still got too hot. I ended up moving it to the spare bedroom.

That’s a mistake you only make once.

Maybe they learned they need to air gap critical infrastructure, and leave the management to on-site humans who are paid well enough not to hold their inventory for ransom.

I haven’t logged into my Amazon account in ten years, and this won’t make me do it.

Learn the difference between need and want. Stop buying crap you don’t need. And, never knowingly buy anything off Amazon.

Fuck Amazon, and Jeff Bezos. All excuses people make to willingly buy off that fucking site are bullshit.

I’ve used delivery on a few items when it was free, and felt a little guilty about it. Once, I added some coffee to my online order that was only available to ship, just to get it over the $35 free delivery, because it’s something I buy every week, anyway. They fucking delivered just the coffee, free or not, such a waste. But, I won’t pay a premium for it. I’m not rich.

More crappy subscriptionware. No, thanks.

This shit makes Covid look like a vacation.

Treatment needed within 24 hours. 100% mortality without treatment.

It will be contained, as it has been several times in the recent past, but imagine if we were in the middle of WWIII and our ability to respond was much lower. It could wipe out millions.

Also, the last time I went to a cashier, because it was the one time I saw a long line at the self-check lane, I stood in the short line, I was third, while the cashier chatted up the customers, left the line to help another cashier with something and was generally very slow. I suspect they’re not required to be efficient anymore, and perhaps even encouraged not to be. I watched as the guy I would have been behind in the self-check line left the store while I was still second in line at the cashier.

It’s only free until they hook you.

I’m waiting for them to close the stores to customers entirely and go to pick up or delivery only.

I know that would kill impulse buying, but I think they might make it up by not needing to police the isles, and no theft.

Service Merchandise did tag pulls and pick up at the register for everything back in the 70s and 80s. That might come back.

I like self check because there’s never a line when I go. With cashiers, the policy was to only open a new register if the lines got over three deep. So, there was always at least three people in line, no matter what time of day, on average.

I’ve never waited in line since I started using the self check lanes.

Better to pay the small fine, than ask permission.

Fuck the techbros, fuck AI, fuck data centers, fuck billionaires.

He’ll probably tear it down. He just wants the land to build something new.

This is going to keep getting worse. Laws to protect us are a long ways off, I expect. Regardless, we know cops don’t care much about laws.

We’re just going to need to be careful where we use our phones and what we use them for.
