I was recently building a web portal that could accept payments. I was looking into ways to avoid the extra credit card fees we’d have to pay to accept them. I was told I can’t charge an additional “credit card fee” because a lot of states outlawed them, but was told I could just relabel that fee as a “convenience fee” and it would be completely legal.

I once made the mistake of saying something against Luigi and had the comments jump on me. This is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else.

Do you have any invites left? I’d love one if you do.

rational discourse on IRC

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

In the grand scheme of things it’s less than I spend on my partner and kids.

Brain surgery is like a fart, putting it off for too long is going to cause major health issues.

I don’t want to spend any time with my in-laws and I’m over 40.

As an Italian American I would have so much fun jarring all those tomatoes into sauce.

Just waiting a couple more weeks for my step-dad to harvest all his tomatoes so the fun can begin.

You definitely could use AI to code, the catch is you need to know how to code first.

I use AI to write code for mundane tasks all the time. I also review and integrate the code myself.

I suspect you don’t have kids? Most schools require a laptop (usually Chromebooks). What do you do then other than parental controls?

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

While I agree with most of what you said, I think you are underestimating the huge cultural differences between NJ, CA, and TX. They very much feel like entirely different countries. Very big differences in culture, linguistics, religion, etc.

USA -> States is very similar to EU -> member countries. I understand that within the EU, member countries have their own concept of “states” that are very similar to the US, but I don’t believe most EU countries prioritize local regions over their country as much as the US does. Keep in mind, Europe as a whole is only slightly bigger than the USA (10m sq k vs 9m sq k)

For instance, someone from Texas self-identifies as a Texan first, and then an American second. It’s why one of the first things an American asks when meeting a new American is “where are you from”. The state they’re from will (usually but not always) tell you a lot about them, their priorities, what their culture is, etc.

Personally I think it’s stupid (I’m not a big fan of “states rights”), but I’m very much in the minority in that.

Some interesting facts about excel I learned the hard way.

1. It only supports about a million or so rows
2. It completely screws up numbers if the column is a number and the number is over 15 digits long.

Not really related to what you said, but I’m still sore about the bad data import that caused me days of work to clean up.

Funny enough the only people who are going to feel it are the low level retail managers who are going to get yelled at for not meeting their YoY, and then not a peep the next day when they do double the sales

I have some bad news about farmers for you…

Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result

Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but just to play devil’s advocate the advertisers too could have been losing money and be happy it was brought to light?

I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.
