as far as I know I have never seen one but it may have been in the background in places I have been. I saw tyson bite off that ear though and the first three ultimate fighters I think.

I think the problem is that it just moves. You can never get rid of it completely. people will be paid to word of mouth. Like look at all the “influencer” content that is just commercials. Your going to make a law that they can’t say they are using a certain product in their makeup tutorial?

So glad to see this in the fediverse.

yeah that seemed pretty big to me to.

Blame individuals for quiting. They are the ones that did it. The people you are complaining about were the alternatives to vote for. If the action is so bad then why would you want to vote for them?

Its tougher than it used to be. Certs are still a good way but you need one an employer cares about and the more generic ones won’t necessarily get you good pay. Since you have a comp sci minor you could try to find an open source project you could contribute to. A portfolio in dev is as good as certs in ops.

Will you post here when you can’t find it one day? oh please oh please!

any word on price? the link says out of stock with no price.

oh. theres no sugar in pixie stix.

story time. growing up my older brother kept a glass vodka bottle filled with water near his bed. He was just starting college and I was a kid with my friend over on a weekend. He was sleeping in. He wakes up and like every morning downs the bottle of water. My friend comes to me and is like. Your brother just drank a whole bottle of vodka!

Im in your boat being a soda holic but I have found that having water with you always cold and plenty even if you have something else. You will find you drink it and the more you drink it the more you do. Its the habit of keeping it on hand at that point which is the limiting factor.

The thing is it was out of control and due for a correction a bit before covid. its like covid short circuited the whole thing and now its a new economy (intentional use of term before dot com bust)

universal healthcare is pretty much the most significant socail safety there is.

ok yeah then it makes sense. over here you have metra which runs on the same cargo rail as amtrak just more geared around commuting and then we have a metro line so that is like heavy. I think we had light tram type things at times but as far as I know don’t have any currently.

yeah I bet its gonna be tough once you actually have to push the button and start thinking about who it could be. I mean not specifying is even worse as it could be you or the most important people to you.

usual suspect. the us.

my neighbor and I bring up each others packages. whenever they get ours I bring it to my wife saying. “Neighbor fairies!”

to trump no due process and illegal search and seizure are constitutional if done by him but not keeping records about it.

i know the los dos is old but seriously why not integrate them into fencing. keep enough for electric and the rest goes toward paying for the fence. then some crops need shade so thats a good time to use it. lets not forget roofs in general.

does your country have any social safety nets?
