That’s basically like watching sports. Sure I can play tennis, but watching professionals play is more entertaining.

It’s funny to think that modern humans have been around for tens of thousands of years but we’re only ~80 years of infertility away from global extinction.

Man, people are really jumping on that one.

People say that like the replacement parts are just a mystical thing that spawns out of thin air once they need them.
Most parts that break are injection molded plastic. Injection molding is what differentiates manufacturing and home made garbage. Something home made will never look and function as good as something injection molded by a manufacturer. And the reason for that is cost. To say injection molding is expensive is an understatement. The machines, the tools, the expertise and the material is something that a private individual could never afford and has barely any profit margin for manufacturers. On top of that there’s storage and distribution.
So if a manufacturer has to produce extra pieces of each part that might break, store and keep track of them for 10+ years for models that are no longer produced, then the customer better be ready to cover those costs with their initial purchase or have the replacement part be ridiculously priced.
We accuse companies to want their cake and eat it too, but the we do the same thing. We want products to be cheap but also reliable or look good but be repairable. We can’t have all.\

This is only partially true. Yes we do engineer things to fail at a certain point, but that’s only because back in the day we naively assumed that we could engineer things not to fail at all.
Yes a stator of an electric engine will probably not fail for 100 years, but the seals will - yes the statically stressed metal part will hold until it crumbles to rust, but the dynamically stressed plastic part won’t - yes the silicon in an IC-Chip is protected from corrosion, but the connector pins aren’t.
The point I’m trying to make is that there’s always a part that will fail before another, there’s no way to economicaly engineer around that, today we simply have the data to statistically define a failure point.
A fridge usually has a 10 year warranty. This isn’t even the end of life point. After 10 years it’s most likely that 80-90% of devices will still work. This means that if your device survived 10 years it will most likely work for another 5-10 years.

Damn girl, do those arms go all the way down?

It’s really hard to find any sympathy for people whose entire business model is to leach money from young impressionable men. It’s almost like their asking “Please stop extorting us, so we can continue extorting our own clientele in peace.” And don’t tell me that all those men are giving up their money voluntarily. It’s like saying the gambling addicts put their money in the slot machine volutarily, therefore it’s not a problem. No self-respecting individual in their right mind would or should enter his card information and buy naughty pictures of some rando, while there’s a backlog of billions of them online for free. Rub one out and get in with your day.
They can themselves “sex workers” while there is literally zero sex in their work. Imagine thinking that posting pictures of “yourself wearing short skirts” ads any value to society. Actual sex workers at least provide physical and social comfort, even if it’s just an act, it’s still a professional form of commitment.
Do those women ever stop and think why there is no one stepping in for them and preventing this scam from happening? Almost like what they do has zero value to people with the actual power to do so.
Maybe take a long hard look at yourself and see your accounts being suddely deleted as an opportunity to freshen up that resume of yours and get a real job with taxable income.

Also the fact that this is happening to the 0.0X% of highest earners, is ironic. Usually, it’s the lower end that gets scammed the most.

Houseplants. I feel like they are slowly disappearing. My grandma has plants in nearly every window, but us younger folk would rather have a Displate with a picture if a plant instead if an actual plant.

Not posting this was free and you still decided to do it …

Yes

So can’t I, what’s your point?

Jane (Krysten Ritter) from Breaking Bad. Because… just look at her.

I’m on the 4th book but finished the series. How does she have any red flags? Given what she’s been through and her profession, she seems to be fairly well composed individual. Great friend and always kind to the people important to her. It’s like dating a trucker, them not being around often and being somewhat detached comes with the territory of their profession.

Yes. The way it works now is:

• Play video until ad timestamp
• Pause video and fetch ad from ad server
• Play ad
• Resume video

But presumably with the new system, your computer will just receive a continuous bitstream with ads embedded in them. What was previously happening on your machine through HTML or JavaScript and was detectable by ad blockers, will now happen on YouTube servers beholind the scenes.

The whole point of having ads be separate from the video is for youtube to easily distance itself from malicious ads. If an ad is malicious it can easily be reported and taken out of commission. But if ads are now part of the video, what stops an ad from being an ISIS beheading clip in the middle of a video made for children? If there is still a way to still report it, then there is a way to recognize the ad.

Also how will this interfere with creators? Editing a video and giving it a proper pace is already a huge challenge. But now ads can just be automaticaly cut into it without the creators control? That’s gonna fuck up so many quality channels. That’s already a big problem with the current system, bit at least you can skip or block them.

Jokes on you, even if this was writen normaly I would’ve trouble readng it.

This is the “appdata” folder, this is where all the application’s data goes.

So whats the “Programs” folder then?

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

But I thought thats the “Programs x86” folder.

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

Ok whats “Program Files” then?

This is also where the application’s data and files go.

So my config file is in either one if those 4?

No thats in the “Documents” folder, obviously.

Windows program data file structure has always been the wild west.
