And on top of which, these are definitely noisy nuisances, and as a result people are gonna fuck with them, and it’s inevitable that eventually it’s gonna hurt someone, which’ll cause a huge backlash and expensive lawsuits, etc etc etc.

The only situation i can see these being even potentially viable is in very rural areas, where delivery routes are expensive, people have lots of open land for it to safely reach the ground, and there aren’t a lot of nearby neighbors to annoy

Nothing beats good beef cooked rare.

Organic is always more expensive, but vegan can be done dirt cheap

You’re putting the cart before the horse. Tell us the specific situational problem that you’re trying to solve. Like what ultimate end result are you trying to achieve.

That way we can help you achieve what you’re actually trying to achieve

Oh i gotcha now, yeah that that’s plausible

Huh? I just looked up “fade” on urban dictionary and none of the top hits say ot means face.

It’s not quite that simple for cat coats

So in order to get a refund, Walmart wants the customer to hold on to a gloppy mess, and then have them personally travel to a store to bring the glop into a brick n mortar location, for a product that they paid to have Walmart deliver to their house, all just for walmart to refund the customer a measly 8 dollars back, for a fuck up that was all Walmart’s fault?

That’s insanity.

In all the other grocery delivery services, when a customer calls in to report that an item is missing or damaged then the company simply refunds the customer for that item, no questions asked. Which is obviously the correct way to do things.

This person was NOT being unreasonable. If you were the customer service person in this conversation then i would double check that you’re actually following Walmart’s procedures for damaged inexpensive food items.

It’s amazing how very far ahead siri was at the beginning, and how extremely far behind it became. It’s a massive miss for Tim Cook’s Apple

Oy ha

Very interesting to know, but i just looked it up and it still seems expensive in the long run. Azure’s cheapest storage tier is 1 dollar per TB per month. So 5 TB of backup would cost 60 bucks a year, but a 5 TB drive costs about 120 bucks. So after 2 years of cloud backup it costs you an extra 60 bucks a year every year vs. if you just bought a hard drive.

Seagate have always worked perfectly for me (knock on wood). And to avoid counterfeits i only buy hard drives from a physical store of a large retailer chain. You’ll pay a little bit more, but really only a very little more, and you’ll know that what you’re buying is an authentic drive that came directly from the manufacturer

“best” depends on the particulars of your situation. Cloud backup is one of the easiest but over time can be expensive. In the long run buying a second same-sized drive is cheaper than online backup, but it requires more money up front, and having the original and backup in the same physical location doesn’t protect against local disasters like a waterpipe bursting flood. There are specialized tape drives for backups, which are cheap per mb and so you can make lots of separate backups which makes your data safer, but they’re very slow to read and write. And there’s other option too, like optical disks, raid arrays, etc.

Best i can really say is to do some online research to figure out what’s right for your particular case.

Don’t forget to back up to other additional drives!

Consolidating all your data into one drive is very convenient, but if you aren’t backing it all up then it’s only a matter of time until you lose everything. If you’re gonna have a bunch of small drives hanging out you can use them as a backup. You could even set them up into a RAID, but I’ve never actually done that so i can’t vouch for it

Love it! Glad to have you here!

Ooo that’s a great one! Helping someone else makes me feel good basically 100% of the times i do it. And it doesn’t even have to be a major help, or even a moderate help, just helping someone in a minor way gives me a good feeling.

Bike ride outdoors. Stationary bike doesn’t boost mood for me, only actually biking through space does it.

The whole topic of drugs could easily be covered in 30 minutes. The only thing people under 18 need to know is this:

1. There are a large variety of different recreational drugs, each of which make you feel a different way, and which come with their own set of different risks and benefits

2. At some point when you’re older it may be reasonable for you to try some particular drugs, but there are some drugs which are never safe for anyone at any age

3. No drugs are safe for you to do yet. Your brain is still in a developing phase, and drugs that might be safe for you to do later will be very harmful to you at this age. Even though taking a drug might make you feel good in the very short term moment, it very likely could make your growing brain become depressed as soon as you come down from the drug, and this can become intense sadness that you feel for the rest of your life.

So for now just know that drugs is a complex topic that you can learn more about later when you’re older, but for now the details don’t matter because all drugs will be harmful to you right now while your brain is still growing

IANAL but if you don’t object you still can’t ask for a mistrial unless you argue that the defense given by the lawyers was literally incompetent, and I’m far from an expert but i think that’s a pretty hard bar to reach. Especially if pre-trial they would put that lawyer on the stand and ask why they didn’t object during the testimony but only complained after the testimony, and i can’t imagine any valid argument that would be accepted by a court.

Bottom line, I’m not an expert at all, but if they purposely didn’t object so that they could ask for a mistrial, I’m pretty sure that won’t work at all
