The first things I recall learning to make for myself were marmalade sandwiches and this concoction of pinto beans, sausage and cheese. I’d heat it in the microwave, which in classic American tradition was made by an offshoot of a defense contractor, Litton. The first thing I learned to cook on the stove, when I was 7, was scrambled eggs.
Not charging, but the screen and processors create some heat.

I’ll add one two letter word in case you were confused.
Somehow this became a cultural thing in the US. In some other countries like in South America it’s perfectly normal for 3-4 generations to live under 1 roof.
My guess is it’s tied to making people spend more money for capitalism. The effect it’s had on families is not very positive. It leads to things like elderly people draining thousands from their savings or family members a month for nursing homes. People have to hire child care when otherwise family members could watch a child. Children grow up with more distance from older relatives. Buying additional homes and cars is way more expensive than sharing them. Additional cable and utility bills. More appliances. More food waste.
That’s fine, since he’ll lose the appeal and have to pay her. I doubt the Supreme Court, as lame as they are now, cares to hear this.
I see, so you summed it up poorly. This is also, you’re right, one of those bullshit right-wing hit job ‘journalism’ things where they edit the shit out of footage to make it fit the pre-existing agenda they’re trying to prove. Correct that people here wouldn’t take that seriously, since we’re not the target market for that kind of manipulative tripe.
It’s also misleading to say that most porn sites are owned by one company. You could say that one company has majority market share of one type of site - streaming video.
Can you specify what company you mean and provide a citation for the ‘what 12 year olds want to see’ part?
Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’
That would be fine. If the “idea people” I talked to were proposing a partnership where they brought valuable skills to the table, like anything - salesmanship, advertising expertise, accounting, investment, financial knowledge, graphic design - that would be totally different than just “I have this killer idea”.
If people wanted to pay me to make their project, I’d consider it. But usually I’ve gotten people who think I’m going to work on their “idea” for months with no investment or compensation, then release it and cut them in.
It’s more complex for salary jobs and why sometimes it’s worse to go salary if you’re hourly. Some salaried positions are exempt from receiving overtime, some aren’t.
Wage theft is when they don’t pay what you agreed on, or are violating laws about things like overtime and minimum wage. For instance if they make you clock in and be basically at work but they’re not paying you, that’s wage theft. Or if they have you work 55 hours a week but don’t pay you time and a half for the extra 15 hours over 40, that’s wage theft.
Google offers an analytics package that a huge amount of sites embed. Many other companies like Facebook have software available as well. Mostly people have these to track performance of Google-published ads, but it gathers a LOT more data than that. You also don’t need to use their ad system to put it on your site.
Anyway, it runs JavaScript to gather information about everything that a visitor does on the site and sends it to Google. You can “opt out” by using a browser extension like NoScript. I assume ad blockers could work too.
For people developing or running a site, it really gives you a ton of useful information - where your visitors are from, what pages people viewed, how they got to your site (search terms, ads, referrers), how long they spend on your site, even a “heat map” that shows what parts of the page people hovered on with their mouse pointer. The tradeoff is that Google gets all of this information too.
They’re constantly tweaking it, partly to stay ahead of the blogspam farms who make thousands of low quality or total bullshit pages just trying to get clicks for ads.
There’s a maxim in the startup community that ideas are worthless. Tons of people have ideas. The value is in executing them. As a former entrepreneur I talked to a dozen people with a plan like “I have this amazing idea! You do it, then give me half the money!!” Uh, no. I’d rather work on my own plans, thanks.
Their IPO was postponed due to the fallout from their PR and community failure. Splez is surely disappointed that this delayed his dream of living on an island with slaves.
At least they didn’t just give you a stupid moose that says “something went wrong”
Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.
