I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

I’ve played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There’s really nothing else quite like it.

I’ve been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

More than anything it’s just awareness.

Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.

The crazy thing is that, at least at Starbucks, a Venti hot drink is 2 shots, just like the grande. Paying extra for just more milk and sugar!

Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride.

I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn’t pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn’t make sense for us, not on long trips at least.

At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.

So it’s the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don’t badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.

I’m lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I’ll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

Sometimes that’s just how you gotta lay

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice

I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.

Too bad they abandoned GPM.

You can have /r/technology and /r/tech and /r/technews etc…

It’s a problem that resolves itself. One community or the other will “win”.

And if not, whatever. On Reddit, my home city has two subreddits. The content between them is slightly different (different mod teams) and the comments on duplicate posts are different. I subscribed to both to see slightly different opinions and avoid echo chamber.

Things have changed considerably since you were 19.

I’m younger than you but not by a lot. When I was 19 I moved in to a 1 bedroom apartment for (inflation adjusted) $700/month. That exact same apartment now rents for $1445/month.

A couple of years later I bought 1 acre of land and put an 1800 sq foot home on it for (inflation adjusted) $275k. That exact same house was sold in 2021 for $433k.

I’m choosing housing here because it’s easy, but I could just as easily pick college, general cost of living, etc…

My point being that you (and I) were set up a lot better to save for the future than the 19 year olds of today.

[Edit] guess I went on a bit of a sidetrack. I’m not sure you were even talking about today’s 19 year olds…

I typically play video games for an hour a night. This can be woefully inadequate for DoS as all I may accomplish is a single battle.

They both use ActivityPub, which is why the content is shared. But they’re different software.
