With the exception of Girl Scout cookies, I don’t buy anything from anyone that shows up unannounced.
If I didn’t know I needed it until now, I need to do research before I buy into it.
If I did know I needed it and you showed up randomly, I have no reason to expect that you provide any reasonable value with your services.
Door to door sales are as dead as cold calls and email.

requires less development time
Here, step into this 200GB repo with about 50 third party plugins and someone else’s game engine and find all the states that aren’t exactly like they are on the design docs, and do it at scale, across a cluster of servers that all have to interact.
20 years ago, i’d be right there with you.
It’s actually hard for a big game to do those things. The people making the cheats are as good as the developers and only need to find one nick it the armor every time.
FWIW, I’m against kernel-level anticheat, and I didn’t downvote you :)

Whenever violence is involved, either both sides are violent, or violence wins.
-
When neither side is violent, violence is not the answer.
-
Now both sides look at #1 and ponder if the other side is ready to be violent.

situation was just a simmering pot
The situation was a simmering pot, but the ingredients were vastly different. The ingredients were an ongoing arms race, nationalism, imperialism, and the militarism of Imperial Germany.
That said, we do have some Nazi’s in the grocery order…

IT was certainly a combination of stupid actions. But about the time the called his mother, it got kinda personal.

I hope not?
Nah, they’ll drill a couple of holes in it to invalidate it and send it back to you. That’s what they did to all mine anyway.

The US passport service wants to drill its own holes through it.

For me, it was: you need to think critically, but you also need to employ proper experts. They did a lot of cringe ‘science’ early.

An actual manhole cover, this is either going to transcend shitpost or literally define it.
Nobody in their right mind would put that inside, so was either built by someone not in the right mind or an extension that just paved right over it.
Manhole covers are used for structural rigidity and tamper prevention.
First (and most hopeful) thing that would come to mind is a rainwater sewer.
No idea of country of origin, it could be someone’s idea of a protective measure for a boundary trap If the sewer main runs directly under the property which would be a bit unusual.
If it is a shaft to a regular sewer, I think you’d smell that.
Rent’s going to go crazy if it turns out to be a parallel dimension attached to a mansion or something.

- Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. 1 week ago:
Also to OP’s credit they could just eat the price of that one shipment the name of providing a stable end reasonably priced service. The cost of all shipments would cover the cost of all shipments would cover the cost of the average shipment plus a profit margin.
It’s kind of absurd to consider that there are hundreds of planes making that trip everyday, many thousands of passengers, and the best option we have is sending a letter via cargo plane.
- Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. 1 week ago:
It’s made exceptionally worse because it’s heading toward Christmas. Most likely the plane on the 17th was already sold and filled, they’re now sending a second plane which is not full and there’s a premium to put stuff on it because it costs them more to fly it than your sheet of paper accounts for.

Everything gets 2% for expensive every year, the outliers are loss leaders to get you in the door ($1.50 costco hot dogs, $10.00 costco pizzas)
We’re not stuck with eating at Costco because it’s who our employer picked as a service provider.
Now, you want to go look up their wage statistics, we can talk…

Easy enough to be using more than one bag.
But the front pockets on the jacket are different. The zipper pull is different.
The fabric on the left is crisper, looks plasticized, and is waterproofed, while the one on the right is fluffy and soft.
It’s all very subtle, the pictures are low quality. It’s likely not the same guy, but they’re starving to have someone in custody.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
In most circumstances, I absolutely would not encourage vigilantism.
Millions of people effectively have no choice in their health care.
They are seeing friends and family die or become destitute because these companies refuse to give them the care they’re paying for.
These companies own the government, and they indirectly write the laws.
They are making the decisions to make money rather than do their jobs and provide healthcare. They are literally taking our money and buying yachts and property instead of just paying for medical procedures and medication.
If this is what it takes for that all to change, I see no reason to make a martyr of him. It’s the corporations that need to change, not the guy forcing them to.

You can take it a step further, I wish they haven’t fucked us to the point where the violence is getting cheered on. They’re caging and starving a leopard, it will eat their faces eventually.
