it does have an interesting kind of funkiness that was extremely popular as part of perfume. It’s difficult to find the real thing to smell these days (it’s banned, and there is a synthetic substance used instead that’s allegedly similar but with all the edges sanded off), but if you know anyone with vintage perfumes, they might have something that actually contains it

That’s not just unethical advice, it’s fraud. And extremely easy for the office to check. Don’t give this kind of “advice” to people.

Nothing to be done about opaque vehicles like box trucks and work vans unfortunately. But if you’re driving on public roads you are in public, and should not have an expectation of privacy.

Personally I would take inspiration from Tennessee’s laws on the subject, but just the part where you can have any darkness above the AS1 line. Have some comparable equivalent (top 2-3 inches) of all windows allow whatever darkness to get the sun out of your eyes, then the remainder of the windows should be tint free. It’s really annoying when rear windows are so tinted that you can’t even see the brake lights of the next car in line through the car ahead of you.

Automobile rear window tints should be banned outright

That’s exactly what an idiot would say!! grips tinfoil hat more tightly

There can be more than one idiot in a given situation

Yeah, if I were to attempt these, I’d precook the ground beef so I could drain it appropriately, then try to assemble and finish the pepperoni and cheese under like a low broil. But I’d cook the beef itself relatively unseasoned in the hopes that either mixing it with pizza sauce or layering pizza sauce between the beef and cheese would tie everything together flavor-wise.

I’d also skip the pepperoni entirely because it gives me nightmarish heartburn, but that’s neither here nor there.

Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.

No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.

it’s a luxury good, like travel.

It shouldn’t be.

A lot of major health insurance providers have free “self-help” style mental healthcare options, which are better than nothing even if they’re kind of lame, but even one of the worst insurers I’ve been on (Kaiser Permanente) had decent mental health benefits. They like money and they know that subsidizing therapy is way cheaper than paying claims for a lot of the issues poor mental health can lead to

Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

He’s really desperate to be able to say he ended a war, huh? Any war at all. Even if it’s not technically a war.

Couldn’t you achieve something similar with a hydraulic system that’d be a lot quieter?

I can’t figure what that obvious device would be if it’s not a battery pack or something though. It’s still really conspicuous.

If you are interested in software development, and willing to put in the work to actually learn strong fundamentals, I think you’re going to have a clear leg up on the competition after the AI bubble in all likelihood bursts eventually. Vibe coding is hurting the signal to noise ratio in general right now, but as far as I’m aware a “live portfolio” like a website of personal projects has always been as good if not better than a resume when it comes to selling your skills in software.

Just consider whether you’ll be able to tolerate doing the work when you’re not going to be the one in charge of deciding what you work on.

Just so you know, you can remap the button or turn it off entirely in the system settings under Accessibility

You can remap the button or disable it entirely, and it’s the least prominent button on the controller, so I think your level of irritation would be low to none.

You can remap it to any other button or turn it off entirely. To use your example you could use it as a second capture button if you prefer it on the right controller instead of the left one

According to the USDA, “sell-by”, “use-by”, “freeze-by”, and “best if used by/before” dates are all indicators of quality, not safety. Except for infant formula, nothing is required to be dated by federal regulations, and an item being past its date does not necessarily imply spoilage, just a loss of quality.

You may want to check with your state and local governments to see if there are any more specific rules that would apply in your location.
