Huh, the wiring just supports power spontaneously coming from an exit point rather than an entry? Is that commonplace?

Either way, that's fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me!

Only nearly? Shit, I really gotta put my back into it, then!

Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don't really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn't offer anything particularly important I can't get elsewhere.

I'm paying $850/mo. for my 2-roomer, with a glassed in balcony. Would definitely forego my balcony if I could pay only 350 for it, but that's a pipedream. $500 upcharge for a balcony is nuts.

Then again, my dear friend spontaneously got her rent increased by like $1500/month a couple years back, and that sort of practice would be illegal where I live, so I could see how charging $500 more per month for a balcony would be a thing.

I've never heard of balcony solar panels, much less ones you plug right into an outlet? Asked my German roomie and he's got no clue either.

How does plugging a power source into an outlet work? I'm no electrician, so that sounds bananas to me.

Visa marriages! I think here in Sweden at least it's not super difficult to get permanent residency via cohabitation, and cohabitation doesn't even require any particular paperwork. Granted, it's been a while since I looked into it, and with a government that's all chummy with the alt-right our immigration rules have gotten tighter, so things might've changed.

I'm hoping with the massive anti-US sentiment going right now, that the next government won't be right wing.

Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.

Fucking hell.

Fuck it, if they do this I'll go stinky as a protest. I'll stink so bad that the politicians will be forced to regulate.

They are making car options a subscription.

They're making money on this too, regardless of if you subscribe.

BMW announces that heated seats will be available in their cars with a subscription model. That's to say, you buy your car "without" heated seats, and then for when you need it, you can just pay a subscription to "unlock" it for as long as you need. Once summer comes, you can stop.

Caveats:

1. BMW saves money by streamlining their production process. By removing the option to select heated or unheated seats, they're making production easier and subsequently cheaper.
2. They're still fucking charging you for those seats. It's not like they're going to give away heated seats for free and bank on people using that subscription to recoup the costs. You already pay the full prices for those heated seats, and then they charge you extra while trying to phrase it like you're coming out on top on this deal.

This is me. I grew up "choose between bills and food" poor, and found alternate solutions to enjoy things. Figured that once I had the disposable income I'd stop. Sure, I did pay my way for a long time too. The thing that fucked me off the most was Netflix telling me that I couldn't share my account with a student friend of mine. I'm paying to be able to watch on 4 screens simultaneously, who the fuck is Netflix to dictate where those screens are located?

I still pay for stuff, if I feel that the service, software, what have you, deserves my money. I've paid enough for Netflix through the years so anything there is just me collecting my due.

Macaroni!

I feel like this is a reference but I don’t get it. :C

ぶっ掛ける means to splash/pour a liquid onto someone or something (like a dish).

Or cummies on someone’s face. Like mine.
