Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I don't think most people understand that, and it will lead to people losing faith in experts when they're told inflation is back to pre-pandemic levels but prices aren't.

People don't understand this about inflation and it will disappoint them very soon once inflation is fully back to rates we saw pre-pandemic.
Grocery prices aren't coming down. Housing prices aren't going down. Utility costs aren't going down. The best we can hope for is for them to not increase as fast as they have the last four years and for the usual fluctuations in things like gas or electricity costs to fluctuate down more than up.

Unless the overall mortage payment goes down or you have a serious need (had a baby and need more room or have a physical challenge and need less), I can't imagine abandoning a low interest rate.
I bought this year and the interest rate makes my payment so much higher that it is insane. I can't wait until rates lower and I can refinance.

And the most recent trailer also has a fairly large cameo spoiler too. So if you care, now is a good time to stop looking up info on the movie until you see it.

It's funny, I think Vegas is perfectly fine as the city of sin so things like this really don't phase me. It was built on the idea of crime and excess.
What does seem weird to me is how in a desert, why isn't everything solar? The sun is their only natural resource besides sand. Every rooftop and parking lot and flat surface possible seems like it should be a panel.

That embezzlement conviction of Dalongeville, is both damning and an interesting look at the problem. Liberalism and leftism haven't solved problems that common people actually experience. The right hasn't either and has no real plan to, they just bother to talk about it and give common people a boogie man that they can aim their anger at.
It is frustrating to me how these parties on left barely even try to make people's lifes better. To show them why more leftist or socialist policies are the way to go. It has been proven time and time again throughout history that in times of financial insecurity, normal people are easily swayed by far right strongmen and demonization of a weaker other. Why does the left continue to fail at preventing this?

It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn't know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won't know or care about MS doing this.
But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They'll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.

Ooh, that's a good point. I forgot that the robot was there without the WG knowing. Which I think also explains why we haven't seen the Elders say anything about it either. Their reaction to the Giant is going to be interesting.

It may be too early to tell, but after the last two releases coming out on Thursday, we might be back to our normal schedule of scans coming out on Thursday.
Interesting that Vegapunk put the snail in the Iron Giant. I wonder why he thought of that place compared to any other? I guess it's durable because it is taking canon fire with no damage, but I doubt that will be the same when the Elders attack it.
That picture of Lily in the throne room does seem very suspicious. It feels like Imu maybe had a love/hate relationship with Lily. Maybe some type of failed romantic relationship or something?

That is the frustrating part. The employers want to continue to pay their servers unlivable wages and force the customer to pay the rest. But a lot of the employees don't want tipping to go away because they make more than federal minimum wage or even popular proposed livable wages like $15/hr or $20/hr.
So now customers are the only ones who want tipping to go away.

You can also play with it to try and get closer to correct. I had problems with getting an Excel macro working and getting unattended-updates working on my pihole. GPT was wrong at first, but got me partly there and I could massage the question and Google and get closer to the right answer. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to get any of it, especially with the macro.

That is what is frustrating. He doesn't really mean what you "see". He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you "see" something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.

Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.

We're finally getting into the lore deep. The break week will be brutal and I hope we don't get too blue balled.
I don't think we'll get the name of the Ancient Kingdom but I'm hoping we at least find out more about the threat of the world sinking. Vegapunk predicted the sea rising by one meter and says that it wouldn't be completely natural, but it also seems like using the Mother Flame wasn't the only cause of the rise. Maybe it triggers something that is naturally occurring? I just don't know how Vegapunk would know Imu was going to use it and when.

That is basically what they did. There are a decent amount of third party apps around that work. I personally use Narwhal.
The further we get from the whole third party app debacle, the more I think this was just a way to kill the most popular apps. The ones that people said made reddit worth using. The ones that got shouted out in Apple keynotes.

This hit my mom in Virginia too. But even before that, ISPs like Spectrum were jacking up their prices. Her Internet only plan went from $30-$64 a month in about two years. My grandmother has it even worse because she needs a landland and can't handle streaming so has cable TV.
Just shameful.

Being an idiot in that situation is true, but in your example is also true that the item he was buying has gone up 50% in price. It doesn't matter that the item is extravagant, it still has gone up significantly. That's pretty much across the board with food.

Did people call RCS open source? I'm not a huge follower of the standard, but I don't think I ever heard that said. In fact, I've heard people complain about not just the proprietary encryption but lack of E2E and carrier/Google control.
Its only advantages are that it is better than SMS and supported by the carriers, Google and Apple sometime this year.
It's a shitty standard but given how shitty SMS is, I'm willing to hold my nose and jump in.

Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
What? So you can't use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don't think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.

The very idea is absurd. It is so counter productive to the idea of rehabilitation. The prisons themselves say they aren't a significant revenue stream. Trying to offset the cost of a societal need by charging fees to prisons doesn't even make any sense. And the companies that are tasked with collecting this debt get 70% of what they collect which means that even the argument about offsetting the state's cost doesn't make sense.
It's profit seeking, counter productive cruelty and that's it. Just shameful.

You need good software to make the most out of good hardware, but I think our definition of good is different. For software, as long as the software doesn't get in the way of launching the app you want, most normies will consider that good. It doesn't matter that Android is bloated and inefficient if the user can tap the Instagram or Facebook icon and have that open up without user perceptible delay.
The average person is remarkably able to put up with shit. Look at the experience on smart TVs for example. The vast majority of people are fine with the absolutely shitty experience as long as they can open up Netflix.

Use what you like. Just like Windows, macOS and Linux for the vast majority of people, all these OSes are, are platforms to display apps and webpages. They all have sanded off most of the rough edges meaning that unless you have specific niche needs/wants, you'll just use what is familar and be happy.
Life is too short to have deep feelings about an OS.

Yeah, I can't imagine what about Graphene would make that big of a difference. Smart phones and slabs of glass with apps on them. There's very little that truly impacts the experience after you get past specs.
I'm not seeing much of anything about this online. The usual tech blogs just have a blurb up now, TG was the longest one I could find. Would like to know how many bands it supports and whether there will be any more advanced features added with this.
It's a little rough this week, even for a speed sub group like OPScans. Hopefully they're able to get a higher quality one up soon.
Early spoilers out. ::: spoiler Chapter 1,088: "The last lesson". One Piece Live-Action series special Color Spread!! We can see Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji in the front (in fighting pose) and the faces of Shanks, Koby, Buggy, Kuro, Garp, Mihawk, Arlong, and Krieg (or Smoker, not 100% sure) in the background. The sentence "tomorrow studio x Netflix" appears too. Chapter starts with a flashback in the old Marineford. Garp is teaching a class for new Marines. Koby is in the class too, it's his first lesson (he has the same appearance as in East Blue arc). Garp asks a question to all new Marines. Garp: "If 1 baby and 1 old man get stranded on an island, and you have a boat that can hold only 2 people... Who would you save?" Koby: "I would get down from the boat myself, so both of them can live." Garp: "You are wrong!! The old man doesn't have much time left anyway, so you just let him die!! Why did you all become Marines? Isn't it to protect the people's "future"? Then, you and the baby have more future than the old man. Only you and the baby must live on!!" After the lesson, Garp is scold by a Marine instructor. He asks Garp to never teach such things again, since all people's lives are equal. Garp disagrees. Garp: "The future of young people is limitless!!" Then we cut to another flashback at Amazon Lily, after Boa Hancock's incident some days ago. Blackbeard agrees to leave Amazon Lily, however he's taking 800 Marines and a battleship with him. Vice admiral Yamakaji only stands and watches since "Marine HQ" didn't give permission to fight a Yonkou. However, Koby steps up and offers Blackbeard to take him as prisoner instead of his men. Vice admiral Yamakaji allows him to do it since Koby is a SWORD member. Back to present. Everyone on Garp's battleship is panicking. They shoot at the giant hand but cannot stop it. Then all three of them immediately move on Garp's orders. Pirates are laughing, thinking Koby, Helmeppo and Grus can't do anyting without Garp. Grus asks Koby why Garp entrusted him with destroying the giant hand. He wonders if Koby has a bomb or something like that to destroy it. Koby replies he hasn't any weapon, but he will try to do something. Pirates shoot at them, Helmeppo blocks a bullet with his sword and gets caught up in an explosion. Garp stands up and faces Kuzan. He punches Kuzan to the ground, moving so fast that Kuzan is surprised. Then Garp jumps on roofs toward the skull and attacks it. Garp: "Galaxy Divide!!!" Pizarro: "Ugyaaaaa—!!!" Garp uses a massive attack that splits the skull in two, making Pizarro's real body heavily injured with blood coming out of his head. Grus and Koby follow Garp. Koby then jumps into the air facing Pizarro's giant hand. Pizarro is in pain, but he can still move. So he swings his hand down to crush Garp's battleship in revenge. Then another flashback starts, back to the time when Koby and Helmeppo first joined the Marines. We see Garp and Helmeppo talking in the training field that we saw on the cover story. Garp noticed that Koby manages to improve very fast, but he has an abnormal amount of injuries on his hands and shoulders. Helmeppo says Koby doesn't want him to tell anyone, but the fact is that Koby knows he has less fighting skills than a normal person. So to make up for it, he needs to train between 100-200 times harder than other people. Helmeppo says too that Koby has been training in secret every night by punching Garp's "battleship bag". Cut to present, Garp is smiling while he remembers that training. All pirates are laughing at Koby, saying there's no way he can stop the giant hand. Pirates say the "Hero" title must have gotten into his head. Koby is about to attack the giant hand. Koby: "If I can't do this, everyone will die because of me... "Honesty Impact"!!!" Pizarro: "Owaaa—h!!!" Koby punches and destroys the entire giant arm in an epic double spread (we can see black lightning from the impact). We see that Pizarro is screaming in pain as his real arm is breaking. Garp is laughing in tears while both Helmeppo and Grus are shocked.Grus uses a technique called "Clay Web" to create a giant clay net to stop the falling stones and save Garp's battleship. Koby, Helmeppo and Grus end up safely on the battleship. Garp calls everyone on the battleship with a den den mushi. Garp: "All of you, full speed ahead and sail away from "Hachinosu" right now!!.I will find a way to survive on my own. Our mission is already completed, and your safety is the most important thing!!" Koby cries and tells the ship to head back, but Grus stops him (he's in tears too). Garp continues. Garp: 'All of you are the "future of the Marines"!!!' In the last double spread, Garp is lying on the ground with an ice blade stabbed on his chest. He's surrounded by all Blackbeard Pirates and Kuzan. Garp is still laughing as ice is spreading from his wound. We see Kuzan's face but his eyes are hidden, making his expression unknown... Narrator: "In the next day's newspaper, the news that are reported to the world are... The "young hero Koby" returned safely. The "legendary hero Garp" disappeared at Hachinosu (the "Pirate Island"). "Yonkou Straw Hat Luffy" is taking Egghead Island as his stronghold." In the final panel of the chapter, we see that Marines' ships are arriving at Egghead Island...
