I had a landlord make me pay them in zelle. Bank limits meant I had to pay them over 3 days every month. What a mess

If the function is known by all parties then the last person to send still has control

There’s a building like this by MIT in Boston. It famously sucks to live in.

It turns out by making the surface area of the exterior extremely high compared to the internal volume, you massively increase the odds of a water leakage problem. The building may as well have no roof.

It also attracts birds, bats, and bees to nest in all the little nooks and crannies so it looks like shit now with bird spikes and metal mesh crammed into all the spots that were intended to be the places your eye is drawn to in the original design.

Joe Biden wrote and voted to pass the very bill that makes student loans immune to bankruptcy as part of BAPCPA back in the 2005 when he was a senator.

Learn the voting and bill submission history of your politicians you utter fuckng moron

Yeah. There are two kinds of loan as part of the federal loan program. Subsidized and unsubsidized. You get granted a pool of loans from both kinds when you apply for aid. The unsubsidized loans accrue interest the whole time. The subsidized loans are equally horrifying mostly because the interest is accruing, it’s just being paid for by the taxpayers on your behalf. Neither public loan actually accrues no interest while you are in school

The insidious part is this is all sold to you at 16-18 by your own student advisors and the university as “financial aid”

It’s not the original loan amount. The trap in student loans is the initial deferment when they gain interest while you aren’t paying and taking classes for 4-6 years. One of my loans was 14k and when I graduated had more than doubled. By the time it was paid off in my 30s the total sum I had paid in to interest was over 100k. And I was paying on an accelerated cycle for the last 5 or so years to kill it faster.

I had discovered with one of my servicers that they were applying my overpayment only to interest as well so the principal would not go down and keep generating new interest. This is actually illegal now thankfully

The unfortunate reality is that these communities are big enough now that advertisers are aware of them. They are full of sock puppets and have become guerrilla advertising platforms and you have to really read through them more carefully than in the past

But also look at the third panel. The road has turned to dust, the sign has a tree growing through it. There’s clearly been no bus for at least half a century. You don’t need to know what that character is to pick up on something off

Since R&D is pre-profit, this is actually not true. A company needs their revenue to be equal to their expenses to stay in business. Profits by definition are extra.

Meh, I bought an Apple TV on sale for $100 and don’t deal with ads and have all the shit you’ve laid out here ¯\(ツ)/¯

When you say it always has worked this way what is your frame of reference regarding time? I haven’t owned a chromecast in about 6 years. However prior to that chromecast had no ads whatsoever so the idea that there are ads at all is shocking to me. It certainly hasn’t always been this way. (I currently use an Apple TV)

Interestingly enough. Queen bees do not actually control most hive activity. Individual workers and gatherers communicate through dance and pheromone signals and the hive literally votes on what it will do. For example a scout will find a new flower patch and tell the rest of the hive and the hive will vote on how many more bees to send.

It would have been far more interesting for the collective to have a queen but for part of the plot to be the humans misunderstanding her purpose to the collective, kill her, and then have the collective be just fine and produce a new queen.

Then it would literally be bees

This actually isn’t true. You can configure sonarr and radarr to directly search indexers without using a wrapper. Most people use a wrapper so you only need to configure changes to your indexers from one place instead of updating sonarr,radarr,lidarr,readarr all individually

Still, at the end of the day a large part of what you get is what you have access too. Better indexers gets you more content
