She’s ok, but when I get bored and my daughter wants to watch her, I tend to put it on 0.75 speed cause it gets trippy. The way she likes to sound out things just makes her seem like a drink substitute kindergarten teacher.

It certainly wasn’t a thriving business, but I don’t think it’s purely a correlation isn’t causation situation. The points about clientele not adapting are probably valid, given the evidence suggests that they lost those loyalists on top of their nose dive.

And yes, it can work if you are consistent. Trader Joes is a good example, they are thriving and haven’t once did sales while virtually every other grocer does. Domino’s is set in their ways, though, although they’d probably survive if they blundered.

Reading the comments about Domino’s coupon obsession, I feel like giving an economics story about when JC Penney said nuts to sales and coupons and nearly went bankrupt.

Corpos in food and retail found that overpricing things then hitting you with deals and coupons caused American audiences to feel like they were getting a good deal. 15 buck pizza for only 6 dollars? Sounds like a deal until you realize that it’s really cheap to make thanks to suppliers and premade frozen pizzas. But if they always price it at 6 bucks, you’re gonna raise an eyebrow.

What if you don’t do that? JC Penney had that idea a few years ago, since their industry basically priced jeans for 100 bucks and then said they were 70% off almost every day. So they tried everyday low prices and… they nearly bankrupted themselves. Lots of factors, but their main factor was their usual clientele thought they weren’t getting a deal even though the prices were cheaper than competitors (while not really attracting a new audience savvy enough to know sales are a scam).

Point is, Domino’s is in a cycle of coupons or bust. It’s a shame you don’t have good pizza options at reasonable prices nearby, though, and a shame the good old days of free delivery seem behind us.

I can’t wrap my mind over that price, our most overpriced place are $30 a pizza and those are humongous. Did you include overpriced sides? I find $15 for 6 wings a bit much and that’d usually do it.

Tabs are also usually not allowed in many fields. The thing is, tab delimiters are fine, but the data sets often get stored without file extensions. Let me tell ya, I was the only person on staff to even know what a file extension was, let alone how to load it into software that can process tab delimiters!

Oh boy, having done data science work with government files, you remind me that they still use terrible delimiters. A white space delimiter sounds significantly worse than a tab delimited file, though!

Just like meditation, but much more alarming to walk in on!

If it’s one to one how we get erect normally, and as the human body essentially inflates using blood, your teeth would ultimately be blood sponges. Seems impractical.

Of course, take it a step farther and maybe physiologically the blood hardens to a sharp point. I know some fantasy settings where bloodstone is a thing, so I guess that. If it was possible, it’d look sick as fuck.

Kind of related question: why are no whitespaces allowed in many passwords while special characters are? I’m a huge fan of elaborate nonsense sentence passphrases but get shot down.

(I ask cause that regex has that requirement it seems)

Either or, I don’t think most people care.

Now, you wanna make a splash… "Yo dawg, So I heard you’re hiring. Hit me up.

• Employable Guy"

Goes over super well with HR. (But seriously you probably can get away with this with so many unimportant emails lol)

I have a friend I help with her start up and occasionally she starts that shit with me. I have zero patience for boss speak and my labor is free so I just tell her off.

Just because in your head you RP as a boss doesn’t mean I’m going to do a meeting instead of an email, and a little friendly, humble speech goes a long way vs. whatever the fuck these rude ass emails are.

Keep those eyes out for working CRTs in thrift stores and garage sales. Or, I guess, estate sales? Or idk, whatever it’s called when they give dead old people stuff away. It’s a dying breed.

Point is, you need a curved screen and crazy strong scan lines. 4:3 ratio or bust.

If the modding tools are as good as NWNs level maker then that’s even better as far as I’m concerned. I don’t exactly need a relationship with Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine, haha

Oh my, a real who’s who, I recognize most of the names mentioned too. But let’s be fair, they post stuff while many, myself included, just comment.

Too bad I just use my game name for this, haha

Ironic use of that term, internal colonialism, given my LA neighborhood has a flourishing Indian and Vietnamese community, culture and all.

“Transplants” in quite a different way than the meme pokes fun of, though! (And they certainly don’t complain about LA and their food is awesome).

Yeeeah… I vaguely remember that. Granted, he was never meant to be a role model, he’s a drug addict (although that doesn’t stop certain men from thinking he’s a badass to emulate?).

So I guess the real episode would go: one of the cool interns makes the recommendation when brainstorming around a white board, he shoots them down, and then assigns all manner of psych drugs that kinda work until the intern does the treatment themselves and get canned for it (but two seasons later we see they’re a doctor doing a great job).

I usually don’t go high card runs, but I love pairing anything like this with doubled odds and lucky card spamming. Burnt is definitely overrated, though, as you have to sacrifice perfectly good hands to do anything except high card.

Oh fuck, I forgot about this. I never got a chance to play those because my brother, and then my father, both monopolized the games. Ironic the same was true of Kingdom Hearts, and it sounds like both are released a week of one another on steam. (Yay, reliving a childhood I didn’t have!)

I think it’s throttling me, but it’s a little hard to tell. When my 4k TV runs in native app, I get as ton of ads but it is rather crisp. When I run from my PC connected to the TV via Firefox, in 4k resolution, I swear it’s closer to 720p or even 480p.

But, there’s other factors, like it being a PC and not a native app. I would test against my Edge but I can’t be bothered.

Oh my, the next Skyrim of modding is upon us.
