This would be funny if the stores were somewhat dark but they are blinding and migraine inducing.

Ahem, ONE dipshit billionaire. One poser.

Even if you install the drivers while the system is running, it is not recommended to remove the card while the system is running.

Exactly, you not have the upper hand. The only thing that could defeat you would be ass pennies.

Curious, where about are “these parts”. Around me, you typically get a 3-10% markup on most items when being delivered plus a trip for the driver.

Yeah the number seems way off to me too.

In 2022, there were 42,795 total motor vehicle fatalities.

That would be 1 in 75 if the population was 3,225,000.

The USA is well over 300 million.

You’re right about it being 100x more

Not an option when you are struggling to pay for essentials

I agree. It just sucks now

And they don’t even realize that original Facebook experience that was useful for keeping friends closer when physically apart has slowly gone by the wayside.

I remember when Facebook changed everyone’s feeds from chronological to whatever they were calling their algorithm at the time. The use experience completely went to shit. Things friends posted would sometimes never show up, and you’d have to manually change your settings back to chronological sorting every few days or it would default back to their “smart feed”.

Now it’s just people reposting things they’re into or reposting echo chamber links to stuff they agree with no real target.

Pretty depressing how we’ve lost twitter and Facebook to this crap.

Maybe they should have specified , the Doom Source Code
