The is some Onion quality writing. I hear their readership base is huge though.

And miss the pop?

(The pop is when the share price suddenly jumps. Especially after an IPO. #because misunderstood jokes suck)

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago

Yes.

By Planning.

I didn't think it would work for the first 10 years. I just wanted to eat better cat food in retirement.

Pursuing higher paid jobs when I can. Changing jobs periodically. Pursuing higher pay until the pay asked for my soul. Then stepped back, changed jobs, and make way more for less.

Paying down debt when possible. Building up to a constant dollar figure of debit and investment per month. Growing that when I can. I now save 40%+ of my income.

Keeping my spending low by prioritizing my time on free things. Prioritizing the money I spend on high pact purchases.

Planning with 4% rule. Works out to needing 300 times your monthly spend in savings. Driving that number down. A $15 a month expense requires $4,500 invested to support.

A great market runup.

I am glad I did too. My friends are dying. One's 40's are rough.

Younger donor tissues reduce the risk of rejection and enhance appearance, with meticulous suturing and post-operative care to promote healing and minimize scarring.

Not an ominous sentence.

Thank you for checking!!

Thank you. It had seemed physical games are also locked to an account, but I am learning that is not how it works.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 4 points 6 days ago

All are parts I was confused about. Others have clarified the accounts layering.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

Thank you!

I appreciate that you listed off various ways to share games all in one place. Many guides I have seen handle the methods piecemeal, and I thought they overlapped morw.

Thank you!

I appreciate your sharing so much detail.

I don't think my kids can handle memorized passwords and keeping accounts secure yet.

Minecraft, Mario, ... I have no idea after that.

Thank you! Great to know.

I don't understand the Nintendo Switch. How many do I need for a family of gamers?

They are a personal device like a gameboy.
There is a TV version for party games.
The games may or may not be shareable, even with the physical games.
Assume the ideal usage is during screen time on a weekend.

I have been avoiding buying one as I don't understand them. Thinking of getting them soon.

I assume one OLED for the family and then a portable per person, then one copy of each game per device.

How is this affordable?

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

Religious Landscape Study (www.pewresearch.org)

In the USA, 3.1% claim Atheist, 4% Agnostic, and a total of 22.8% "Unaffiliated".

In Minnesota, 3% claim to be Atheist, 4% Agnostic, with a total of 20% Unaffiliated.

Posted as I often feel there are few Atheists in the USA. Turns out Atheists are under noticed.

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.

A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.

Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.

How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.

I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".

Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?

Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.
