One thing nobody ever considers about landlords. . . It costs them a considerable amount of money for their property to be empty. Most of them will accept slightly lower rents to keep the property occupied constantly. This cost avoidance ensures that there are always landlords at below market value, thus keep the higher rents in check.

I have only my own experience to back it up. I've always washed my wooden utensils in the dishwasher (top rack only). The cheapest ones do ok, but show some wear after a few years. The bamboo ones look as good today as when they were purchased (10+ years ago).

Not that much of a problem, and even less so if you use bamboo utensils.

As a counterpoint; if you are being the armorer on a movie set and don't know those things, then you should quit before something horrible happens.

They are better, but you foolishly assumed that they meant better for the consumer, not better for the seller.

They are unenforceable for more reasons than that. They also can not prove that you agreed to it, only that someone did.

Also, they can't change the terms of your previous purchase after the fact. They can make you agree to something new going forward, but if they make your current device a brick because you don't agree (which they are doing here), then they need to reimburse you for causing the loss of use of your device that you already purchased and was working under the previous terms.

In many (most/all?) places, you are not allowed to vote for anyone except the people listed on the ballot. Writing in their own choice would be disqualifying their own vote, so I hope millions of them do it.

If they are just simulated, they aren't real (even if close). If they aren't real, what difference does it make? They are NPCs.

Needs AC & Heat & Doors/Windows. Weather is a thing that people need to deal with. Not everywhere is 70 and sunny every day.

As an alternate viewpoint, I had T-Mobile for years, and I couldn't keep a phone call connected for more than 10 minutes. If I travelled across the metro area (about 600K people), the call would drop 4 times from one side of the city to the other. Since I got on Verizon, it's been bulletproof. I imagine these things are very location-dependent.

 

I have the preferences set to not show read posts, but still see posts in my feed (shown grayed out) that have been hidden. I think they are posts from another instance that is federated (like maybe I hid them on the other instance). Is hide (the checkmark) not the same as mark as read? And, even if not, shouldn't a hidden post stay hidden? If it is greyed out, the app knows it has been seen (or marked).
