At this point, I'm almost convinced they purposefully gave him the chance to take his shot.

Well it doesnt help that Microsoft got hacked, in January, by the same group that did the Solarwinds hack. It even affected state government. I wonder if someone doing... anything, could have prevented this.

I know the offical story is a weak password, but even the article questions that.

Hey, I just went down one of these last week!

It was still on a half day preheat, so it wasn't that hot.

Kinda like how they threw that lady in jail in India based on brain scans. It wasn't remotely done, but that didn't matter.

Also, Davos 2016 had a discussion on all the "social justice" applications they could use brain scan technology on. Nevermind stuff like roughly reconstructing the movie you just watched. And, by now, they've had plenty of time to come up with more fun ways to apply this technology.

It's almost as if ignoring a problem, doesn't make it go away.

The app won't let you without signing in, I don't think, but i think the website does. Try this link or you can go to deezer.com and if you go to the hamburger menu at the bottom it has an "explore channels" option.

Edit: It's odd they don't let people browse I'm a more friendly way. And just so you know, once you sign up, you can search, make playlists, download for offline etc, the mostly same as spotify. When u first sign up, it also give you the option to migrate all your spotify plsylists over. Out of my thousands of songs saved, it did have 2 or 3 that didn't transfer over due to just not having it.

You could check out deezer. It's European and they have a classical music section. Not sure how good it is. It's like $110 for a yearly subscription and they offer hi-fi streaming. Just another option for you to check out. 🤷

Pretty sure my local bank has been doing this for a few years now. I thought I was losing it, but apparently it's a thing.

Only thing that pisses me off (besides the obvious fact that its my bank doing this, and i dont want ads) is that I get ads for the same stuff I just bought. If your supposed to be some all knowing awesome algorithm that understands me better than I understand myself, send me ads for stuff I might actually want, but haven't bought yet. Not, literally, the same thing I bought two days ago, and have no need for, for at least another month. Idiots.

And, whats more, is that if your in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas, the protest organizer, too, gets punished for the bad behavior of others.

Its probably an unpopular opinion considering the comments here, but I think it should be said that maybe it comes easy for alot of people, but being a cook at a fast food joint like Dairy Queen or Culver's absolutely takes a certain amount of skill. Skill not every person has, or can learn.

When a place is busy, takes a certain process of thought patterns and organization to keep track of all the different ingredients on the griddle, what stage they're at while cooking, while ensuring everything is cooked in a timely manner.

Sure, many people can succeed at learning these skills, not everyone can. It is a skill, and honestly, it's slightly upsetting to see people think it's as easy as breathing, when it's just not for some people. If it were actually that simple, you'd never have to check the bag to make sure they got the order right before you drive off and there wouldn't be videos of fast food workers being mistreated for giving some jerk fries instead of onion rings. Ever.

Imo, although there is overlap, both jobs require some skills that different than the other. Typically, surgeons perform, at most, a handful of types of surgery (per surgery), on 1 or 2 people at a time. They know what surgery will be preformed ahead of time, so they can prepare, and there's a typically a set procedure for the deviations or complications that may arise. Successfully improvising is what sets a great surgeon apart. And, if all is going well, they have teams that can stabilize the patient for an extended amount of time. Fast food workers are assembling multiple orders with multiple foods in minutes. It may take a surgeon years to learn proper surgery, but it doesn't mean they have the skill or mindset that is required to flip burgers.
