director of human resources for a national restaurant operator, now overbooks interviews, knowing up to 50 percent of candidates for entry-level roles likely won't show up."
The one and only time I "ghosted" an employer was when I was in college. I had accepted a job as a clerk at a regional grocery chain. It was shit work, nearly as bad as working at a national restaurant chain, but it was work.
Before my first day of work, I wound up being able to return to school, and thus was able to get my student assistant position back. There was no way I was going to report to work as a grocery worker when my paid internship paid twice as much and was on campus.
What content? Network drivel and a bunch of low def shit that's in the public domain? I haven't been interested in a single thing the major networks have put over the air in over a decade (The CW's DC Comics shows are decent from what little I've seen).
I have an antenna, I'm 200 feet above the ground in my apartment. I get 30+ stations, but several of them are duplicates from different metro areas, a dozen are religous broadcasting, and of course the spanish language networks, which I'm not fluent enough to care about. and EVERY SINGLE ONE is riddled with LOUD ads.
About the only thing it's good for is pro sports, should I happen to not go OUT to watch the game, and still care enough to put the game on.
But but... what about all that WRXSVGOMGHD 120FPS content that I absolutely need to not miss out on that will definitely be coming out any day now?
That's all I use my Windows 10 box for. Gaming. Performance is the only consideration there. I do my real work on Linux. What information am I meant to be leaking exactly?
You do understand the concept of a persistent multiplayer world, yes? MMOs are nothing like FPS shooters. In an FPS the "world" starts over with every new game.
A subscription-based MMO... of fucking course they're not going to give you the server software so that you can run your own and not pay them.
Except that with Net Neutrality dead, we're headed to a heavily metered and throttled internet. I want my content local to me, not streamed so that I'm paying for it over and over.
Well if you're still happy with Coleco level graphics, I guess those are valid things to turn off. I like a good game that's also amazing looking. Like Witcher 3.
I happen to believe that Conspiracy to Regulatory Capture of a Federal Agency should be a Capital Treason offense for all parties involved. Shame that law will never be passed.
Only three commissioners can be of the same party as the seated "President". The previous President was forced to appoint Pai the shill under that part of the law. Dumpsterfire merely promoted him to the top.
I agree with your main point though. Spewy McShitfountain (Dumpsterfire) didn't select anyone for the good of the country.
I see nothing wrong with lower power consumption for the same performance, but if it's not better than my current card performance wise, I'm not shelling out for it. That's what drives improvements. Upgrades. There's a finite amount of people willing to pay the equivalent of $800 USD and up for the highest end cards. Power consumption isn't really on their list of "things I'd pay that kind of money for"

If the content is 1080p, 480p isn't good enough. Full Stop.
If Apple doesn't want to support those Macs anymore, why should anyone else?
Well that was Marvel, so probably not.

I'm fairly certain at least one of these taxi shills is a current or former employee of a cab company.
You actually think your grandma's bill would go DOWN?
Oh you sweet summer child.
After you.
I'll thank Beijing for summoning Kim by train and explaining exactly what was going to happen to him if he kept his shit up.
Trump didn't accomplish a fucking thing.
Sure have been a lot of indictments for a "stale" issue.

FUCK Software as a service.

He may very well be the last person "elected" to President full stop. He did declare admiration for Xi's apparent President for Life move.
Exactly this.
As if that lying sack of shit is actually going to do anything that doesn't directly benefit him.
I want fair service for the poor as much as I do anyone.
The inbred coal miners in WV are solid Trumpsters, so FUCK them.
Is this /. or The Register?
(yes of course the link is to the Register, who over-uses the word Boffins like a bartender does ambien)

They are nominated with restrictions

"Pravda and Izvestia, meant "the truth" and "the news" respectively, a popular saying was "there's no truth in Pravda and no news in Izvestia""
from Wikipedia, but I learned that in Russian class in 1986 (I don't remember much else)

Tighten up that tin foil, you paranoid maniac. And take your fucking pills.
