I am not a developer but I do sometimes recommend software to end users. Unity is dead to me. I will never recommend Unity to anyone for any reason.

The lack of a person watching you check out does not mean no one is watching. They absolutely are and you are being recorded the entire time you are in the store.

Here are a few suggestions:
Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry
Sign up for a church email newsletter and go there when they are doing pot-luck meals (bring a dish to pass)
If you are into sports, sign up to volunteer as a coach.
Don’t buy all of your groceries all at one time. Buy a few things each time and go more often. Even if you don’t meet or talk to anyone but the workers, you will be around other people.

Do you have any Amazon add-ons (extensions) installed in Firefox? Did you, or someone who uses your computer, install any software recently?

If it is a Firefox add-on causing the issue and you have more than one that could be the culprit, start by disabling all of them. If that fixes the issue, then it is just a matter of enabling each add-on (one at a time) to discover which one is causing the issue. When you figure out which one it is, uninstall it.

Trump has always rambled incoherently. That isn’t new. His base loves him because he represents selfishness and racism. That is who they are. They don’t seem to care that he is a coward and a nutjob. Rich people love him because he will do just about anything for anyone who will publicly shine his shoes.

He’s a nitwit and he always has been.

I tend to get a new phone every other year. I bought a phone last year so I will probably be excited to see the Pixel 10 next year!

While I will be the first person to admit that I don’t completely understand either, the concept is pretty simple.

Think of a digital recording being something like sheet music. Sheet music is a set of instructions on how to play a song that anyone who knows how to read music can reproduce.

Digital recordings work in a similar fashion. The playback device reads the instructions which include things like frequency and volume, and is able use that information to make a perfect playback of the digital recording.

Could it be recreated by random chance? Sure. Would it? Probably not. At least not easily.

Fun fact: a small amount of vinegar in the cooking water helps to keep potatoes from getting mushy.

No matter how much the orange man pretends to distance himself from it, one detail will always be true: Democrats and liberals will never support Project 25. So the only way Project 25 has any viability is with a conservative in the White House.

So, Comb-over Donnie, tell me again how you have nothing to do with it? It won’t happen without you!

Exactly this! Very few people ever complain that the military is losing money. Healthcare should be the same way. It should operate at a loss.

Forming relationships are all about risk. If you know this much about her already it’s possible she already likes you!

Go for it!

Don’t threaten me with a good user experience.

I buy Samsung SSDs when I can afford them, Kingston when money is tight. Samsung is faster, especially their NVME drives. Both have been very reliable for me.

Unfortunately, this knuckle-dragger is not capable of admitting, perhaps even understanding, that he brought all of this on himself. Everything bad that happens to him is someone else’s fault. Everything good that happens was his idea.

Maybe I’m weird, and I am open to that as a possibility, but I don’t see low birthrates as a problem. I feel like the human race could actually benefit from a reduced population. If the population was to reduce by half or more because people did not want to procreate and did so voluntarily and of their own free will, many of our climate change issues would be reduced and might even reverse without changing anything else.

Unless and until the human population gets down to two billion or less, there is little to no danger of a non-man made disaster wiping us out.

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don’t buy gas there.

While I doubt that things are actually more dangerous nowadays than before, Cruz has been very vocal about selling the narrative that things are getting worse. If he feels like his life is in danger, he needs to work to make it safer for everyone instead of just himself!

I don’t know what the current pay rate is for that job, but I am certain that if the pay was double of whatever it is now the worker shortage would suddenly vanish!

Completely agree.
