I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon but I don't keep a running list of prices. Newegg is a different story. Most of their promotional prices are the same prices they charge every day, and the promotional discounts are just enough to reduce the sales tax being charged. A good deal is once in a blue moon.
For today's Slashdot, 30+ per day is normal. Ten years ago, 300+ per day was normal. In 1999, 3,000+ was normal and I would worry about the server crashing.
[...] have you ever given one hour notice at work, and then set foot in Tibet the very next day?
As an IT Support contractor, I started a job the same day with a four-hour notice (took that long to fill out, notarized and fax the HR paperwork). That has more to do with me being a miracle worker than my weight.
When you're fat and just starting out, you can lose 10 pounds in a week.
If you're a butterball, which I haven't been in 30 years. I rode a bike for 20 years and worked out at the gym for the last ten years. I carry more muscle than fat.
I guess what I'm saying is, a 375 pound man losing 10 pounds in 10 weeks isn't statistically significant enough to imagine a larger trend.
Check back in January when my weight is 325 or so. That was my lowest adult weight when I rode a bike to work for 100 miles per week for three years.
It's natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn't just about a "diet" or "program". It's about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits.
This is why we need to tear down Hoover Dam and abandon hydroelectric power.
Have you been to Hoover Dam in recently? I was there in 2013. The water level has dropped substantially due to global warming. If the water level continues to drop, there won't be enough water to run the turbines.
Says a dude that is morbidly obese even while supposedly on a low-calorie, low-carb diet.
A smaller government obviously requires skinnier people. Check out my blog post where I lost ten pounds in ten weeks after getting the Greater Goods Basic Bathroom Scale for $20 to accurately measure my weight when the gym scales stopped thunking at 350 pounds.
Turn off background refresh for 90% of your apps. My data usage dropped from 2GB per month (my data cap) to 1GB. A lot of apps don't need to be on cellular when I'm away from my home wifi network.
I still use Paint because its the default edit option for images. To create a YouTube thumbnail, I take a screenshot from a video, right-click on the image, select edit, CTRL-A and CTRL-C in Paint. I open a template in Paint.NET, select the screenshot layer, and CTRL-V to paste screenshot. Technically, I could do all this in Paint.NET but I like having separate programs for different purposes.

You're about the size of a small moon, so it fits.
Have some Spam with Cheese for your whine.

At least the people working in AI understand we know nothing...
Unfortunately, that's where the marketing department steps in.
I know your comment was kind of glib, but you are more correct than you know.
I've been reading about AIs since I first read about them in Byte as a teenager.

What bank?
Bank of America, of course.
After a month you buy 50$ baubles.
The headphones were on sale for $50. The price jumped back up to $70.
Everyone's understanding of AI is limited.
Well, let me introduce you to a concept; failing gracefully.
Back in 1999, servers just crash and most were misconfigured anyway.
I've seen your "vids".
You mean the cdreimer channel? That's not my main channel.
The idea that you have clients, plural, is laughable.
All the way to the bank.
And surely it took you months of spamming Slashdot + writing stories to earn even that much.
The headphones represent 2.5 hours of work over 30 days in April on Slashdot. The only writing done was the comments.
You have a very low bar for a "good job".
For today's Slashdot, 30+ per day is normal. Ten years ago, 300+ per day was normal. In 1999, 3,000+ was normal and I would worry about the server crashing.
...or a personal website that exposes every detail of your life going back to childhood, huh Tubby?
The personal website that got 60+ visitors today because of this comment shit storm? Keep up the good job! ;)
You're bragging about 50$ headphones?
I typically pay $5 for headphones. Since I'm getting serious about editing YouTube videos for clients and myself, I need to upgrade my equipment.

So you're doing the bare minimum and think it's bragworthy?
Yes. Now bitch about something else.
You have a reference to a more secure source?

Hope that making substantially less than minimum wage spamming a technology website at least gets you...I dunnow, job satisfaction?
I bought an Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with the "minimum wage" that I earned.

It took you 10 weeks to lose 10 lbs? And you're bragging?!
According to coworker who is a martial arts expert, losing a pound per week is a sustainable over the long term.

The government shouldn't be releasing the personal details of citizens. That's a job for corporations.

You sound delusional, bro
All the way to the bank!
No, clearly a campaign of Amazon affiliate spam and ebooks that look like they were written by a stroke victim, that's the ticket!
That's my side business. It's not my career.
