Damn, I didn’t know about the bundle.

These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn’t affect them.
(I’m making up the third, I have no idea what they charge)
- Comment on My writing laptop just died 4 days ago:
That should be fine. I haven’t had to do it but everywhere I’ve seen says it’s tied to your hardware and it should be fine when you reinstall windows. Though with a dead laptop I’m not sure if you’re able to get a USB with the bootable media.

Millions used to.
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 5 days ago:
I actually started on imgur before I used reddit at all. I used to browse “i am bored” as a kid/teen. Eventually I thought, man I really only want the funny images, is there something that’s just that? That’s when I found imgur and I was hooked. “Sarah please” and all that.
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 5 days ago:
When I first got to Lemmy i always thought a fediverse imgur would be neat. As the other comment said, imgur has been going down this path for a while, so i ended up leaving quite a while ago and never pursued the idea. Plus I’m not really knowledgeable enough to do it myself.

Don’t worry, sometimes the bots do that first one and use some future year like 2036 to farm engagement.

- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 5 weeks ago:
I kind of want to pick one up, but i can’t get a clear picture on if I should wait for a steam deck 2. From what I could find, they want to wait until there’s enough of an upgrade to be worth it. At one point that suggested around 2025, but more recent stuff makes it seem like they’re not even working on one, and other stuff hints that they are.

- Comment on Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account 1 month ago:
My banks can turn it off, but what annoys me about that is the overdraft fee just becomes an insufficient funds fee (in most cases, I’ve obviously not tested most kinds of charges to see) at that point for me, fuck might as well pay what the charge was.

You can just quietly do stuff.
Like what?

Seems like in real world use it makes a difference.

From another thing I read, people have a tendency to not apply enough sunscreen or apply it correctly. I’m sure if everyone did it perfectly it wouldn’t matter. All I know is anecdotally, when I switched to 100 I stopped getting sunburns, and I have been in situations with people who used their own lower spf, got a little burned still, and I came out of it pale white.
The price might be higher, but a quick look on Amazon and I’m seeing more than spf affecting that. The brand I buy is about 1.80 (usd) per ounce, and i see other brands with less spf for more. I see other brands with the same spf for less, and it seems like it’s between ~1.10 per ounce to ~2.80 per ounce so I’m not really bothered by my price. I don’t know anything about the environmental differences between spf so I won’t comment on that.

Get 100 spf, I’ve never even tanned on that shit.

It’s also just a mayor. Sure mayor of NYC but it’s barely influential.
