There are pros and cons to being on an instance that doesn’t have downvotes. Not being able to downvote this waste of a post is one of the cons.

See, you’re falling right into it. They were tracking things just fine before the rule changed. The rule was changed so the bank could make more money.

And kill their credit score while they’re at it. Which they need for a multitude of other things.

The system is rigged.

The bank knows people will make mistakes that they didn’t before. They stand to make more money off those people. It is not a neutral policy that they’ve arrived to in a mutually beneficial manner.

Their favorite customer is one who slips up sometimes. Bank still gets the debt paid as expected, but now with more fees.

They also want people to say “thems the rules, deal with it”. That lets it appear to be a neutral policy while making more money than before.

There’s also a lot of context around its production and release that’s only memorable to people who were fans at the time. It spent years in development with several rewrites. There was a publicly stated intent that the xenomorphs would be coming to Earth. Total mess of a production with poor setting of expectations.

Decades later, we can ignore all that and judge the film on its merits. I think it’s ok, but not great.

OK SPAM is not the issue but my mails will not reach my users at Big Mailer Corps

The article’s answer to this one is handwavey “there are rules that spammers can’t meet, but you can do it just fine”. This is not the whole story by far. This is a more comprehensive overview of why it doesn’t work:

On a dynamic IP connection, you can very easily have had the address flagged already. If the one you have now isn’t flagged, the one you get later might be. Debugging intermittent problems is not fun.

They also like it when your domain has shown good behavior already. I can do that because my domain has existed for over 20 years and I’ve hosted email on it in one form or another for that whole time. A person starting out on their own is not going to be able to do that.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that the big providers are the only option. There are smaller providers, like Fastmail.

Lastly, any server config where they claim it’s easy because “the configuration reads almost as plain english” is a big red flag for me. Plain language config or programming does not work as well as anyone thinks.

Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.

This could use some explanation and layout of the implications.

They just wanted to fuck with him a little. Curse worked too well.

Maybe they predicted the plane would crash, but missed that it’d be by flying into a nuclear fireball.

Unless you insist on the Trinity doctrine being an essential definition of Christianity (which I think is dumb and lacks historical context), then Mormons are a branch of Christianity.

Mind you, there are tons of MAGA Christians who do take that stance.

Usually through the text translation on the X-Wing screen. Once on Dagobah, he’s picking up the same context clues in tone that the audience is.

Making people think they don’t need guns.

The shooting spot was about 250 yards away. That’s WWII sniping range, but not particularly far for modern precision rifles. According to Ryan Cleckner (US Army Ranger sniper), precision marksman training in the Army makes you use iron sights out to 600 yards. A good setup these days can hit a dinner plate (read: a human head) at 1000 yards, and that’s not even pushing it.

They didn’t have to hit him the neck. They just needed to hit the general head area. They got lucky hitting the artery dead on, but any head hit has a very high probability of death.

There are millions of bench rest shooters with a bolt action rifle who could make that shot.

No it fucking isn’t. Democrats have ensured that.

And disarming the working class while fascism runs amuck won’t do a damn thing for them.

Yup, I did. Now what? Am I supposed to feel bad that an asshole died?

Used car market is getting cooked. People are holding onto their cars longer. When they get into even a minor crash, they are often totalled because of how expensive parts are. Independent mechanics are being pushed out because there’s nothing worth fixing.

The end result will be buy new or don’t.

I think you’re right about that. They’re just frozen veggies mixed together with chopped meat. The main thing I’d look at is how much salt they dump into these things.

Spices wouldn’t be fresh, either, but that’s more of a taste issue than health issue.

That’s roughly two bags at Costco. Way more than my wife and I would buy for just us, but I could see larger families reasonably buying that much.

Well, yeah, that’s how you do it. No reason to have one AAA sized team for ten small games.
