$599 here, but I also live in a state with no sales tax.

But that's the 256GB version. 512 is $699.

Of course I have 24TB free on my NAS soooo...

Still not spending $600 on an Apple branded Chromebook.

Yeah, yeah, fanboys are going to go "A18 Pro" vs "AMD Ryzen™ 3 7320U with Radeon™ 610M"

But on the other hand, 15.6" display vs. 13", 120hz vs 60hz, 512gb storage standard vs 256. 65w charger vs. 20w.

Goose it to the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U with Radeon™ 610M and it's still $570.

Prediction - eWaste in less than 2 years. It will only live through 1, maybe 2 OS updates.

Basically non public areas for the cool kids to hang out.

Century Club was for anyone with 100,000 karma, then that spawned century and a half club (150,000), double century (200,000), triple century (300,000).

There were more but I didn't get more than that when they goobered the API and I quit.

Top was for anyone who hit the front page.

Lounge was for anyone who had reddit gold for the duration of Gold.

They COULD but I'd think with federation they would be super hard to hide... I dunno...

Every cat is different. One of ours demands belly rubs like this.

Another one cannot tolerate being touched in any way. You go to pet her and she's like:

^ This!

We're already on the edge of point to point communication without radio waves so within another 50-100 years nobody will detect us either.

We're simply asking the wrong questions. Years ago I remember someone postulating the idea that if another civilization wanted to be found by another civilization, what they would do is find some interesting stellar object, and embed a signal in whatever radiation it was emitting.

So, another civilization would have to be a) capable of recognizing that object as interesting, b) have the capability and will to study it, and c) detect and separate a signal from the background.

The "You must be this tall to ride this ride" theory of interstellar communication.

I found out I was in the top tier on reddit when I started getting invited to the secret clubs. /r/top for example. /r/centuryclub and things like that.

Pretty sure those things don't exist on Lemmy.

I think what PRS is stating is that Valve needs a license for the music to even display the game in their store, which is utter nonsense.

They aren't claiming the games are infringing, if that were the case with something like Forza, they would go after the game publisher.

It looks like they are trying to say Valve is infringing by having the games in their store.

Seriously, the attention span of people when it comes to Israeli war crimes...

https://arabcenterdc.org/resource/israels-use-of-white-phosphorus-and-the-inadequacy-of-international-law/

"Human Rights Watch has documented Israel’s violations in both Gaza and Lebanon. During its 2008-2009 military campaign in Gaza, called Operation Cast Lead, Israel attacked civilians with WP. In 2009, Human Rights Watch concluded that the Israeli Army deployed WP, killing civilians and damaging structures including “a school, a market, a humanitarian aid warehouse and a hospital.” A 2009 United Nations fact-finding mission known as the Goldstone Report confirmed that Israel failed to take feasible precautions required by customary law to avoid civilian harm, describing Israel’s actions as “reckless.” In one instance, the fact-finding mission confirmed that Israel fired WP shells over the UNRWA compound in Gaza City. Israel rejected the Goldstone report, however, and no action was taken. Following an Israeli Supreme Court ruling in 2013, the Israeli military stated that it would stop the use of WP in its artillery shells, but to no avail.

Fast forward to May 2023. At the 5th Review Conference of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Palestine accused Israel of using WP on civilians in Gaza. In response, Israel accused Palestine of exploiting the forum for political gain. In November 2023, at the 28th session of the OPCW, Palestine again accused Israel of using WP illegally. Israel rejected the accusation and no action has been taken on these matters. Last October, Human Rights Watch concluded that Israel’s military use of WP violated international humanitarian law. On November 15, Israel launched 300 WP strikes on a densely populated neighborhood in Beit Lahia, Gaza in less than 40 minutes, and between October 7 and November 16, launched 1,000 total WP strikes.

Israel’s history of WP use in Lebanon is extensive. Lebanon’s then-President Émile Lahoud accused Israel of using WP against civilians during the 2006 Lebanon War. Since the war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, Israel has continuously deployed WP against civilians in southern Lebanon where conflict between Israeli and Hezbollah forces continues to escalate. Amnesty International reported on Israel’s unlawful use of WP from October 10 to 16, 2023, calling for the indiscriminate attack in Al-Duhayra to be investigated as a war crime, because the indiscriminate attack injured at least nine civilians. The American University of Beirut reported that Israel’s WP use in October resulted in 134 forest fires, dozens of civilian fatalities and injuries, and the displacement of 20,000 people in Lebanon. According to Al Jazeera, from October to March, Israel dropped 117 phosphoric bombs on southern Lebanon. By the end of March, nearly 108 million square feet of land had been burned by white phosphorus and other incendiary weapons. On June 5, Human Rights Watch verified the use of WP munitions by Israeli forces in Lebanon “in at least 17 municipalities across south Lebanon since October 2023, including five municipalities where airburst munitions were unlawfully used over populated residential areas.” Another attack on June 8 sparked wildfires that spread to civilian homes. In October, the Lebanese Mission to the United Nations sent a letter to the UN Security Council (UNSC) stating that Israel fired phosphorous artillery shells “in the area of Bastra–Sahl al-Mari and the outskirts of Rayhanah, Barri, and Shanuh (12 phosphorous shells), causing fires to erupt; the outskirts of the town of Yarun (11 phosphorous shells); the outskirts of the town of Labbunah (23 phosphorous shells), causing fires to erupt; and the outskirts of the towns of Mays al-Jabal and Blida.” In November 2023, the Lebanese government stated that it would file a complaint to the UNSC against Israel for “using white phosphorus in striking Lebanese border areas.” In July, the Lebanese foreign minister posed the matter again at the UNSC.

Israel continues abusing WP in Lebanon to this day with reporting as recently as June on attacks in Lebanese villages Kfar Kila, Khiam, and others as well as in Rashaya al-Fakhar in July."

Coming out of my painkiller haze to state, unequivocally, Russian state media is not a source, it's propaganda.

If they told you work from home is no longer allowed, then yes, they are paying you to be on premises.

If you don't actually know someone in person, you can't actually be in love with them. You're just in love with that presentation of them.

He didn't love her, he loved her cosplay act.

If they are paying you to be on premises, so if you are "on duty" so to speak.

Hours you would normally be working.
