Wait until they find out about machine shops that can make anything out of metal!

They will start where the next starting line is

The next starting line has significantly fewer spaces available.

Yes. That’s what’s being criticized!

Why would you need to look up lasts week date on a calendar

This is what I do as well, I opened a second checking account so half of my monthly bills is auto deposited from each paycheck and I set all my bills to be at the end of the month so I can make sure everything is smoothly going through. I even have a Google sheet where I keep track of balances weekly and what bills are coming up like the yearly Amazon or something

You can usually have it set to send you a notification if it goes over a certain amount so set it to the lowest like $1 for most cards

As someone who works hands on so I have to work at the office I really wish more people fight to stay home, the commute was so much nicer with people working remote plus the office was much nicer to work in without all the noise and distractions

I agree with this but the obvious outcome is that if you're 1 person in a 200 person office floor, your company will consolidate 200 floors into one and it'll get noisy again. The same cost function still exists for office space.

I'm very with you on the commutes tho. I live in Seattle and Mondays and Fridays are like driving on Thanksgiving (a major holiday in the US when no one drives and even the roads in L.A. are clear), and Tuesday is worse than the before times. Wed/Thurs are a bit better than the before times though so I just go in on those days (that's also when we tend to have happy hours).

If you use public transport it works better (more cost efficient to run = more frequent) when more people use it, so my commute would not get better if people stayed home.

But I agree on the last part, I prefer it when certain coworkers WFH. TBH some days I strategically choose my office hours so I overlap with them less.

I didnt realize the game was that big

It’s not that I store only games on my computer, but backups, photography and legacy stuff takes space. Especially, if you’re into computers for ~30 years.

I use arctis headset at work as well, had my Sony noise cancelling headphones for a while but the mic was horrible so I had work buy me the arctis which I have a set at home and knew they worked great

Yeah it sounds like they are using weird averages and applying them to a small fleet of self driving cars and saying they are safer because they have had less accidents than the millions of people on the road

yeah I think thats the worry, all this information is being gathered and sold to whoever will buy it and combine it and reuse it for whatever they want.

say an insurance company wants to see who they can raise the prices on without losing customers, then they can look at the data and work out peoples personalities and single out some that fit a profile of someone who wont go looking for a new insurance company just because their insurance premiums went up.

Same thing for health care, if a company wants to see how people live so they can anticipate if their children will be healthy or at higher risk depending on how their parents lived then they can know who not to cover or who will be charged more to cover in the future. it can become the new credit score but one you cant change.

whatever happens I just assume it wont be for my own good but for the profit of others so I try and be mindful of privacy when I can
