Most people don’t consider animals to have intelligence (outside of some apes) which is why they’re readily used as food.

That’s fucking crazy. I think my 18 pack of Celsius is cheaper than that (per can) by quite a bit. I haven’t bought soda in a while but I always remember it being under $5 for a case. It’s mostly water.

Boomer thing. My MIL keeps trying to give us hers but we don’t have the space or the need for plateware that will never be used.

I just heard someone on a podcast point out that they never actually show him eating food in his shows. They always cut away and then back to him just as the ‘bite’ is hidden away inside his mouth.

Do with that what you will.

Maybe he can get another news interview where he uses the opportunity to call people opposed to Flock “terrorists” yet again. That ought to do the trick.

Yeah almost everybody starts from zero but the thing that boosts them up from that is typically the algorithm or ‘winning the lottery’ with some video that goes viral on other platforms. Imagine starting a band with your buddies for fun but you’re forced to play shows every week at the local bar for no pay. If you don’t see a return from that at some point, most would give up before long. I watch a lot of automotive youtubers who start out working on cars in their garage and a few have blown up big while most, at a certain point, just stop uploading or maybe upload once every 6 months before trying again and quitting again. Even ChrisFix with his tens of millions of subs has basically given up (though I think his situation is different where he can just coast off merch sales and revenue from past videos).

In short, if you are a content creator on YouTube, do it for the love of your hobby and make money with your day job.

The problem with this is that if you want to get any exposure you have to keep the algorithm happy and the algorithm wants consistent release schedules which means you’ll always have that hanging over your shoulder and fucking up once means nobody will ever see your video in the sea of millions of other videos. It’s an absolute meat grinder which is why so many channels fade out and why people try to do it full time.

Sure you can upload as a hobby but if people aren’t watching it, why go through all the trouble?

That’s the poverty trap. Spend ‘less’ up front but way more over the long term whether we’re talking about aluminum foil or car loans.

Lol meanwhile I have to punch in a code if I want to watch Netflix at work because I’m not on my home network. Somehow Netflix invented landline streaming services.

Lol now I know why my work just rolled out mandatory, company wide classes to learn Gemini. Even the janitorial staff will need to take it. Giving it to corporations for forced adoption to boost the user count!

“Great for drivers!” If you still want to smell like alcohol when you get pulled over but without having drank any.

The same reason why vapes are considered “tobacco products” despite not containing any tobacco and considered “flavored” if they contain any flavor (or no flavor) besides “tobacco” flavor (which is actually just caramel flavoring since vape juice has no flavor by default). It’s because politicians are stupid and short sighted and most of these regulations make little sense outside of government control.

What was in the box?

Possibly a teacher rather than student? AFAIK teaching or other public service are the common ways of getting it.

unclog the sewers by blasting a high pressure stream up my house’s drain line.

Funnily enough, this is a common tactic used to prevent having the kids in the first place and avoid these emergencies all together.

More likely is that these companies will just update their models to identify these vehicles once again. Furthermore, patterns like this make the car really stand out from the crowd which is a terrible way to disguise yourself.

Seems like a good way to get stopped by police and have your car impounded.

Dude’s probably on his way to the ATM machine

Actually nature developed most of the product and as a card carrying member of nature, I expect to see my royalties check in the mail soon.

Unless your home internet has multi-gigabit upload, you’ll never be able to compete with seedbox users when new uploads drop and everyone is downloading them at the same time. Your seedbox can upload at 10x-100x the rate my home internet can which is why seedbox users capture all the seeding credit on new uploads. Once a file has been out a day or two, the only people downloading are new users or people who aren’t using automation tools like sonarr/radarr which are few and far between.

The tradeoff here is that your seedbox storage capacity several orders of magnitude lower than my 50TB home server, so I can keep these files seeding forever much like the parable about the tortoise and the hare (though without the deeper meaning).
