Are you able to charge at home? What are the costs to charge, especially at home vs at a public charger?

I guess there’s no real point to charging at home when your employer pays for it to be charged at a public charger, other than convenience.

Last year I was in a rental Chevy Bolt EUV for about 6 weeks that Kia paid for while replacing the engine in my wife’s Soul. I was really impressed with how inexpensive charging at home made it compared to paying for gasoline, but DC fast charging was actually more expensive than gasoline when looking at cost per mile.

I’m curious about your girlfriend driving your company car to her job. In the U.S. I would expect that to be generally frowned upon, if not outright forbidden by your employer.

“l’ll give you an idea. Why as a pup, l myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. That was 1954 dollars. Now, for 50 grand, l’ll track him and l’ll find him. And the people that took him, l’ll kick their butts. No extra charge.”

GOG is pretty good because of this. I check in there if I’m considering buying something on Steam. There might still be compelling reasons to buy on Steam, like I bought Parkitect on Steam because a review on GOG specifically called out how the mods really only work well on Steam, but I’m at least checking first and maybe Wishlisting the game on GOG. I have fairly reasonable trust in Valve while Gabe is running it, but I feel like I can have longer trust in keeping copies of installers myself.

I think in the US I’ve heard ETF/ACH transaction fees are usually around $2.50? It might be possible to have that apply across a batch, though, as in if you submit 10 payments to 10 different people as a single transaction it’s still just $2.50, or 25¢ per person. I’m only getting this from hearing accountants complain at companies I’ve worked with, so I don’t understand the details. But I’ve seen it pretty common with companies doing payouts to want to see a minimum amount before they actually send the payment, otherwise it’s not worth doing.

I will have to check this out on my computer; there were some legitimately good Flash games over the years. Hello Worlds! is one and I see it listed on this website.

I got an ad for this earlier today but it didn’t give a lot of info. The backup of media cards is nice. I bought a product maybe 15 years ago that ran a basic program on FreeDOS that could backup cards to a hard drive in the device. I should see if that still works.

They can bring some nice benefits like remote starting in cold (or hot) climates, but there needs to be much better design to minimize the exploitability of these systems.

Are these AI? Or really terrible image compression?

Separately, bottom left looks like it would start a fire if they drive long enough dragging that wood on the pavement!

“I agree that this is a vital mission, and I think SpaceX has been a very innovative company, but I think they’re also a mature company,” Whitaker replied. "They’ve been around 20 years, and I think they need to operate at the highest level of safety. That includes adopting an SMS (Safety Management System) program, and it includes having a whistleblower program.”

Asked what SpaceX could do to shorten the delay in the next Starship test flight, Whitaker replied: “Complying with the regulations would be the best path.”

I haven’t seen one of these in a long time

I have off-and-on searched for alternative software for personal blogs that can be self-hosted and it doesn’t seem like there are many options anymore. The only ones I’ve seen are WriteFreely and FlatPress. Are there any other options you’re aware of?

I was an early adopter of Firefox 20+ years ago. It started going downhill more than 15 years ago and I bailed to Chrome when that launched. It really was better than Firefox at the time. Then Chrome got worse and I wound up back on Firefox, not because Firefox had gotten better in that time but because everything else had gotten worse than Firefox in the intervening time. Also, if going from 48% market share in 2009 to a barely relevant <5% in 2024 doesn’t count as a downfall I’m not sure what does.

This process has been underway since the project switched their focus from the Mozilla Suite to Firefox. Early Firefox was lightweight with limited features and the idea that you would add your own as extensions for the features you wanted. Then it started gaining traction and the Mozilla developers started forcing features in that should’ve been extensions. It’s been downhill ever since!

Sounds like anon needs some help with social interaction. If mom can schedule the appointment, maybe mom can help anon pick a haircut in advance.

I guess how new are you talking? I think this said it was based on the 2019 release, but I haven’t heard much about recent releases. Winamp 2 was the classic one most people remember. Winamp 3 was a rewrite that was supposed to be better under the hood but a lot of people didn’t like it, mainly for the new interface it seemed. They jumped to Winamp 5 (2+3) to restore much of the old interface while keeping the capabilities of 3. I never had issues with 5 and continued to use it through Windows 7. Haven’t used Windows much since then so I don’t know how it runs now. There have been very rare point updates since AOL took over and later sold it, mostly bugfixes.

Are you sure this isn’t a scam?

Bench Young and all of a sudden Dalton becomes the first QB this year to throw over 300 yards and 3 TDs.

You can certainly be paid in cash legally. Finding an employer willing to do that, though, might be challenging. It would probably have to be retail or another business that regularly deals in cash.
