i use gmail's "+" and the merchant's name to segment out who's abusing/selling my email address. for sites that don't accept that, i have a "spam@" alias. for companies who won't accept that, i have "crap@". both of those two go directly to spam folder.

>This is what the shareholders want.
sounds like shareholders shouldn't own the railroad then, since their childish short-term wants are getting in the way of the nation's transportation infrastructure.

i have for many things, it’s great, apparently most homework assignments / essay prompts are a lot less remarkable and simply aren’t written to teach very much of value

or if you can afford a studio and can find an adapter to NVMe like the older apple ssds had and are willing to open the device up anyway, likely to just install an aftermarket ssd of better capacity for cheaper

Reply to comment by sex_is_immutabl in Tesla reportedly plans more layoffs as the company’s stock tanks | Engadget by prehistoric_knight
>Reddit has been predicting Twitter implosion for months now.
laying off most of your institutional knowledge does not present short-term problems, it presents long-term problems. it's been less than 2 months.
​
>Turns out Reddit's emotional impulses aren't a good barometer on the health of a business.
taking on $1 billion a year in interest payments you can't afford and making most of your revenue stream run for the hills is something not only a reddit user can figure out is going to cause problems for a business. that's why the stock the deal was financed with is cratering.

you failed this test, so clearly those scores are a mistake

i'm sarcastically saying they could afford to.
sometimes, when reading something, it actually helps to get to the end of the sentence:
>they could sure as hell afford one...

those rings can actually make hundreds of millions of dollars, so i'm not saying her lack of a signature is a payoff/campaign contribution but they could sure as hell afford one...

i bet paypal still has legal/compliance/security staff though.... nobody's going to trust their payment info with him, even for crypto stuff, once the breaches start

yep that's the main reason GPU prices are back down, btc/ethereum can't be efficiently mined by GPUs any more and the prices are also tanked, so there's a glut of used GPUs on the market

- most US ISPs are shit, and provide a shit level of service which most people probably don't consider as reliable as an on-prem gaming device
- recession -> people spending less money -> people spending less money on their shitternet and wind up with even worse service
- graphics cards are affordable again
