It’s comments like this that almost make me miss reddit gold
I was a big Arctis 7 stan two years ago. I had three pairs at one point
But then they started pushing Steelseries GG and the experience just deteriorated from there. The new Arctis models are just awful, it’s like they didn’t understand why people liked chat mix
For the most part, Crypto assets have no real value. They can be used as a currency, but that’s infrequent at this point, and really it’s now just a speculative asset.
In other words, Ethereum’s (and other Cryptos) value is based almost entirely upon how much people think someone else will pay in the future.
If they think the price will go up, then they will buy. If they think the price will go down, then they will sell.
Because of this, any shred of evidence that could predict the perceived value going up or down can cause a huge shift in the market. Most likely a news article was released, or someone Tweeted something, that made people think the price could change.
The idea of searching had me thinking that it would be nice to have a search-focused instance that didn’t defederate from any sites (besides the illegal stuff) and auto-subscribes to every new community so it has all the information possible. Then you could do “foo bar site:searchlemmy.com” and get an effect similar to reddit
Although that’s probably unnecessary. But would be kind of cool
Yes, I’m afraid so. Some of the concepts will still apply but it’s most likely wiser to get a EU-specifc or country-specific book if you can find one
Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I’ve been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring
I’ve also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet
That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson
I’m leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn’t understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I’m learning via a handful of books
Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats’ automatic litter box.
I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a “dumb” doorbell but the chime won’t work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work…
I suspected it was a smaller channel, but didn’t look myself. I haven’t heard of them up until this point so this story could be a particularly big opportunity for them, so it makes sense why they are choosing the delivery method that they are
My guy take it down a notch, damn. I’m not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.
But, to address your issue:
Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I’m grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a “part 2”.
I also just don’t appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that’s what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don’t love it.
I’m glad this information is coming to light because I think that it should be fixed, at least as far as the affiliate link piece goes, but I find myself irritated by the sensationalism of the poster.
They’re really pushing to make this seem as evil as possible, and milking it for every drop it’s worth. Making this a two-part series and not exposing it immediately feels super shitty to me.
Just post the full information you have, if this is really so bad, stop trying to farm clips.
Also, not enough focus on the timeline. Honey’s business model has changed dramatically since it was released long ago, and I feel like the part two video is going to complain about the original Honey business model, which was literally just a coupon code aggregator, just based on the “cliffhanger” at the end
He mentions in the video that they stopped advertising that when the BBB brought it up with them.
I think for this story, the timeline is paramount. What Honey used to be compared to what it became are worlds apart. Claims they made when they were just a coupon aggregator should be considered in a different light than claims once they started partnering with vendors
The first two reasons, to me, feel like excuses to hide the true reason(s) they cheat. I’d wager it varies per person but that many just want to be seen as cool or skilled by having everything or beating everyone. It seems equivalent to people who modify cars to be extremely loud; despite many saying the contrary, they’ve convinced themselves that people love to hear their loud cars go by.
It could also be the anonymous effect of online games. They don’t quite perceive themselves as cheating, really, because they don’t know the players and will never know them. It likely feels like NPCs in a video game, for the most part. If there were actually social pressure, like would be in a schoolyard game of football, then far fewer would be willing to risk the social ostracization. But because they are anonymous online, they feel safe and empowered to cheat.
I think AWD is widely unnecessary for most people in most climates. It is just an unnecessary feature to sell you a more expensive car.
I have lived in snowier climates my whole life and have also driven 2WD vehicles the entire time. I have only gotten stuck once, and I know that for a fact because I remember it being surprising that it had never happened before. You really don’t need it if you just drive carefully when conditions are suboptimal.
AWD gives you a false sense of invincibility as well. It’s important to keep in mind that “all wheel drive” does not mean better stopping. If you’re going to stop, more wheels with power doesn’t help. And in terms of dangerous situations, it’s usually the lack of stopping that’s the problem, not the lack of going.
There are also issues with fuel efficiency to consider. AWD vehicles generally get lower fuel efficiency compared to 2WD versions of the same car.
Overall, no, you really shouldn’t get AWD unless you really need the feature.
To be fair, moving to the top allows for much more space for the list of predictions, so there’s at least some benefit to ir
I’m sorry but that’s still the meaning of the term. I know it is colloquially understood to mean a “poor” country, but we shouldn’t ignore the original intent.
Also, please don’t tell me how my country is. I quite literally live here. I can read every article online that you can, plus I can go outside and see it for myself. We know we have problems, we aren’t ignorant to them - at least not all of us - and they’re nowhere near as bad as some commentors on this post believe they are.
It’s a cold war term - basically, first world is the US and capitalist countries, second world is the Soviet and communist countries, and third world are the unaffiliated.
It’s slightly more nuanced than that, but that’s the basic summary.
The asset price spikes when lots of buying happens, not selling. If more buys are occurring, then sellers are able to sell their assets for more (simple supply and demand). A spike up in price means more buying (lower supply).
