even broken clock is correct once per day…

in a way it is. they both have exactly one vote.

and how many ads do you think all these now gone power users were displaying and consuming? 😂

The requirements for home schooling in the US vary wildly from one state to the other and can be almost devoid of any practical oversight in some circumstances. In most cases, parents have autonomy to choose their curriculum

yeah, this is the surprising part for me, but i guess in the land of individualism it makes sense. thank you for the answer

you are forgetting that reddit is not just coders and sysadmins.

people writing comments about - i don’t know - sneakers, might not care about the reddit drama at all. and all comments are helpful as AI training material - don’t succumb to the biased idea that only what interests you is important or “helpful”

There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing

except we are talking about USERS disappearing, not revenue. it is likely that revenue actually increased, because x+n (where n > 0) people paying more than zero generating more than zero is bigger number than x generating zero.

they will appear as deleted, but they are not really deleted, they still have them in the database and still make money selling them 🤷‍♂️

That’s less traffic, which is less ad money, which comprises the vast majority of their revenue.

and how many people do the same thing you do? they don’t really care about 1% of dedicated users…

some home nas can also be budget friendly… or some vps, where you can start small and scale up on-the-fly when you need it.

isn’t any gift received by the president property of the government? or so i gathered from watching the west wing 😆

as a person from across the ocean, i don’t get this. why would there be need for some different curriculum for homeschooling, and why would the choice depend on the parent? how is it possible you just get to chose? don’t you have to comply with some general standard? here, home-schooling is extremely rare, but if someone undergoes it, they have to use the same textbooks as everyone else and from time to time pass some exams in school to be sure the kid is not behind its peers.

when did you last check where your flash 8 installer is?

Like, I was just going grocery shopping the other day and had an unmarked van behind me for what felt like an awkwardly long time. I immediately started formulating escape plans. I drove an extra long route to the store just to make sure I wasn’t being followed. Once I parked I sat in my car an extra few minutes to observe if any other suspicious vehicles also parked and if anybody got out. I made sure to message my wife that I parked, that I was on my way into the store, that I was 25%/50%/75% done getting items, that I was checking out, that I was back in the car and headed home.

These are not thoughts I should have to have. It sucks.

jesus fucking christ. i am sorry this is happening to you or anyone else.

one billion kilograms has the same problem - it is ambiguous, because you have to guess whether you are using short or long scale.

you could say million tonnes, but ton is not SI unit and is again ambiguous, because there is many different tonnes.

correct presentation that isn’t open to interpretation is 1 x 10⁹ kilograms.

Why did he pay? Or does the hotel have access to his card and can charge whatever they wish at will?

I assume you mean one octillion of femtograms?

that would be really good news for native americans, but really bad one for the rest of the world 😆

she said at least 65 million meals, so she could still be correct…
