Yeah but at that value its still going to hurt.

Especially if he keeps doing it.

No worries, hope it works out for you!

Active subscriber count should be the more active one, but I agree.

Ideally we'd have native multi a communities right now, so I could see all of my subscribed Linux communities in my Linux multi, all of my subscribed ttrpg in the ttrpg multi, etc.

Definitely an improvement that could be in place. I think letting the user combine the groups to see would be best, because then you can group how you'd like. Having multiple communities with similar topics is no different than reddit, but reddit has multis.

One of the rare situations where that specific mustache can make me laugh!

Same as reddit when it was new.

I'd actually say Lemmy feels larger over the same timeframe, but that's just sticking my thumb up in the air sort of measurement.

The problem with growth is that too much, and it ends up trolls and bots making up the majority, and too little growth means it withers on the vines.

With federation (and the ability to defederate), I think the ideal ground can be found. We'll see though!

I told them up front that Xfinity isn’t available at my new address but they had to ask all the questions anyway.

That's wild.

When I canceled with them (about 4 years ago) I said I moved and they dont service the area, and that was the end of it.

Though I should have suspected Comcast would find a way to get worse.

Awesome, thanks for letting me know!

Eh, depends. I used to carry a similar knife when I was a vol FF, because seat belt cutter + glass break is handy, and the blade worked better for clothing caught in something than the belt cutter (belt cutter works best when its taut and flat, since its basically a coupon cutter).

Worked just great for the intended purpose. What its not, however, is more than just a utility folder.

Exactly what it looks like, yeah.

Which, as far as I've ever heard it, would make it a "folding utility knife". I've also never seen a combat knife without a fixed blade, because... "Hold on let me just unfold my pocket knife so I can combat you!"

Any folding knife, again, as far as I've ever seen, would be more likely to be called a tactical knife. Which is just another word for utility folder IMO.

The old adage used to be that an empty rental was costing you money. Landlords would work for around 75+% occupancy, and to achieve that the price would also stay lower, to keep it occupied.

Then the price fixing of airlines happened, and the guy responsible (whose name I can't recall at the moment - maybe someone else does?) went into real estate with the same software approach. The theory? If you can charge enough off of a few to pay for all the others, then occupancy doesn't matter.

Let's use the numbers from the OP - $700 and $3600, with a 20 year gap. The post is from several years back, but let's use 2004 and 2024 for inflation calcs. $700 in 2004 is just a hair under $1200 today, so with a cost of $3600 - triple - that would mean one tenant has the same value to them as three. So if you have 6 units and have 3 tenants, you're now making a LOT more money overall, as those two tenants provided the same as six under the older model.

TL;DR: Shitty people and shitty companies trying to get the most money they can, with zero regard for the impact of these decisions.

She's not white, but...

Sweet milky cheeses what a horrible sentence!

I am fully aware she is garbage too for marrying that d-bag, but how can she possibly be ok with someone who would even utter this sentence?
