I see it quite often in reddit threads that appear in my google search results for obscure technical/hardware issues.

The original helpful comments were probably provided by switched-on users of whatever subreddit, and those same users are the ones most likely to nuke/overwrite their comment history when they leave the site.

Common advice where i am from is to alternate between acetaminaphen/paracetamol and ibuprofen based otc painkillers. One, it reduces your opporunity to overdose, but also some evidence they work better together.

Default 'Do Not Disturb' on android still lets heaps of notifications through.

Additionally, when I do have my phone silenced completely, (or on an airplane without wireless), I still find myself reaching for the phone and checking anyway. It's a physical tic, and the only way to break it is to not have the phone near you.

The mystery is regulation. Other countries have better regulations in this space (re-selling rules, anti-scalping rules, anti monopoly regulation, fee caps, general consumer protections).

If you want to disrupt ticketmaster, you need to vote for it, not build another ticketmaster.

I remove mine after about a year.

You keep saying storage isnt an issue, but having a large digital footprint is just more baggage to manage in future. I want to let these conversations/relationships evolve and change over time, I dont want to keep revisiting them at a certain point.

Each time I get a new phone, I go through and curate the photos/ files worth saving, back them up offline, then start fresh.

Just because you can store everything, infinitely, forever, doesnt mean you need to.

Its not a communication overhead, it's that business owners want to maximise their returns on their fixed operating costs subject to the 5 day limit. One extra staff member in a traditional office is extra software license, extra seating, extra hardware, extra HR/payroll/insurance, extra risk, extra training etc etc.

Remember to thank your unions for the weekend.

I find the magnetism from these types of people is seeing someone violate your social norms (usually for gain) in ways you had never considered, and getting a tantalising glimpse of what might be possible if only you weren't so timid/proper/responsible/considerate/whatever.

'Only one country should export culture, for economic efficiency' is the kind of take that the Norweigians (and everyone else) would like to protect themselves from.

The pedagogy suggests that you retain more when you also have a spatial element to what you are reading - eg you recall not only what the text was but where exactly on the page you read it, and perhaps also how far through the book it was.

Textbook designers know this and use images, callout boxes and insets with case studies/graphs to break up text on pages so that your brain gets extra context to map 'what' to 'where'.

This is (imo) why infinite scroll and mixed order algorithm feeds are such brainrot (even if you are looking at educational content). You try to recall something you read but it was in an ephemeral location in an always changing stream of content.

Cheap labour is one part of it, but also if you were a wealthy foreigner looking to get residency/citizenship, there are a few visa classes for 'business owners' who met certain job creation/investment thresholds. Car washes were a popular vehicle for this.

On paper yes, but very few of the _actual poor_ were making capital gains on asset sales. Aus Govt figures claim 90% of people under 35 do not own shares outside of retirement funds(which get different tax treatment).

It closes the loop holes where wealthy people approaching retirement would spend a few years paying very little tax and living off capital gains instead at a ~20% tax rate.

Must only be for US users. When I look at it from Australia the Palisades damage is still there. Altadena also shows mostly vacant and cleared lots.

Home insurance also (ie replacement cost after damaging weather event).

Off the top of my head: Ocean levels of salt in a water system are much more expensive to maintain (even the secondary loop).

Coastal land much more expensive. If you go to a remote coastal site, you probably won't have as good access to power.

Coastal sites usually exposed to more severe weather events.

Other fun unpredicatble things eg-Diablo Canyon nuclear facility has had issues with debris and jellyfish migration blocking their saltwater cooling intake.

The location of the grandparents house has improved over time and become desirable, so now he is competing against people in the same 200k jobs to buy in this same location.

The only true deals that I've had in the past year have been from bricks and mortar businesses that are genuinely closing down and need to clear stock by a deadline.

For every other 'sale', companies have access to incredibly amounts of pricing and behaviour data. Pricematching any consumer good for a deal is more or less dead, if you wait for a specific product go on sale, it will be at the same % across multiple sites (assuming they don't do SKU differentiation per retailer to say it isnt a like for like price match).

And you must be signed in.

I frequently get flagged as suspicious activity and have to pass a captcha when trying to use the Google verbatim search function on a signed out Firefox browser on android.

Also, fracturing audiences to infinity.

Less fight, more be present on the battlefield as a show of confidence.

I get all my fulfillment from outside of work, I am ok with having a 'bullshit' job which facilitates the rest of my very nice and enriching life.

I think also that 'bullshit jobs' are a side effect of large (not even ineffective) organisations. At a certain size, you end up with roles and abstractions that take you far away from what your employer actually produces/generates revenue from, and if you are in such a cost center it can be hard to see how your individual work is meaningful to the bottom line in any way.

If you are salaried and can complete your tasks (job description) in under the alloted time, is the onus on you or your manager to find more tasks?

Why is ok for your employer to make you complete additional tasks, draining you of your excess energy, but not increasing your salary at all?

When there exists this productivity/energy gap, the default US view seems to be you should give it up to the employer, but the article author is instead keeping it for himself.

I can drink milk with no digestive distress, but within a week will have a full face of acne.

Spent many years and many thousands of $$ on skincare products trying to figure that out. I now avoid dairy and have excellent skin.

IIRC it's because Paracetamol has low threshold for overdose, and is often blended in with other cold and flu medicines in Aus so it is easy to exceed daily dose if you are say, taking some conbination of paracetamol + Sudafed (paracetamol+decongestant) + drinking a Lemsip (lemony vitamin powder with more paracetamol).

It is only packet size restricted in supermarkets, you can still buy bulk packs from chemists.

In blizzards case, mmo's are a huge time sink and not many have people have time to commit to multiple titles. Acquiring a competitior and maintaining it would see subscribers leave their main offering (which has been optimised for microtransactions and engagement) and splitting the player base.

Most Australian states have anti-scalping laws, but more importantly the main third party reseller site (Tixel) is cheap, safe, reliable and easy to use.

Ticketmaster AU have their own reselling marketplace, but it's also capped at 10%.

Scalping is a solved problem, if states want it to be

Is it correlation or causation?

Testosterone also drops when you dont get enough sleep, which is a universal lifestyle change for parents.

If inflation kicks off, it will go back into physical assets.

Market saturation for tech products + new competition from vibe coded startups moving into mature enterprise spaces.

The rate of non-tech business growth has slowed, who is going to continue to buy all these cloud software services? Tricking consumers into subscribing to AI tools or extra storage only goes so far.

For some kids, they see their parents get themselves in a mountain of college debt, work for 50 years and struggle to afford necessities, and decide maybe trying to be a streamer/tiktokker is worth a gamble and could set them up for life instead.

I think it's entirely fair for the average american to no longer trust the courts to provide justice against the rich, given your current political environment.

Or, if you truly believed AI was a threat and represented material harm and managed to get standing to bring a suit, you are looking at years and years and years of litigation.
