I hate this excuse because it’s so incredibly easy to keep records without keeping the account itself active. I work in healthcare and we have to do shit like this all the time with archiving patients records into an offline storage and then destroying their “hot” accounts to comply with two different incompatible laws.

36% of all gamers are 18-34.
25% of all gamers are 35-54.

As of right now, 25-34 year olds average 37 minutes per day of video games (4.3 hours per week). 35-44 averages 21 minutes per day (2.45 hours per week).

These averages are more interesting when peering into the breakdown by age group. (Removing people who don’t play at all by age) to show in 30-39 year olds 67% playing games between 1 and 20 hours per week. 76% of those 18-29.

It’s a duplex so the HOA only has two homes in it. The fees were designed to cover the water bill, master insurance policy, and slowly collect enough money to replace the roof every decade or two.

Unfortunately the other unit has no interest in even basic maintenance so unless we take care of everything the place slowly just falls apart. We’ve had to fight with them over every tiny repair from siding damage to a literal hole in the roof that a squirrel chewed out. They keep running an Airbnb with loud guests who throw parties despite it being against the HOA and unless we pay for our own lawyer there’s no way to actually enact the fines and stuff as laid out in the HOA rules.

We’re selling and never buying in a small HOA ever again

I’ve definitely noticed significantly more people still wear hats in the city. Walking all over the place and taking trains and busses means way more outside exposure day to day so could explain why more people still wear hats around here.

Waymo doesn’t give a shit if their cars are ugly and can cover them in dozens upon dozens of cameras and sensors. They’re not selling them to consumers who care about looks, they are renting them to riders who don’t want to die on the short trip. They also only operate in a small region of the country with limited weather conditions and frequently stop service when weather is bad.

Tesla is run by an idiot who insists that a pair of cameras and a single lidar sensor that they keep deciding to disable can somehow magically always work in all weather and lighting conditions and is selling to consumers who don’t want an ugly car and expect to be able to operate their purchase at all times

Different constraints leads to different levels of success

Unlike omnivores, cats are unable to synthesize arginine, taurine, methionine and cystine, arachidonic acid, niacin, pyridoxine, vitamin A and vitamin D from their own organs and must get it from other sources. Their livers and kidneys simply cannot make this material from other materials. For the most part this list of nutrients is not available in complete form in plants.

Our bodies for example make vitamin D from sunlight via our skin (d7). But can also get it in multiple base forms and synthesize it from animal based foods containing d3 or from compounds containing D2. Cats however only have the ability to use D3 and cannot synthesize D7 or convert D2 to D3 (omnivore liver)

In theory you could make food in a lab that is technically vegan and supplies the above nutrients. Nobody has done this.

Yeah it turns out that Airbnb hosts behave much more like hivemind landlords than business owners. They all wind eachother up to behave the same in their forums and chatrooms. The advice on how to operate comes from other greedy reactive people and not from like consultants and data mining and people with degrees in their own field like it does with hotels and large businesses.

Airbnb hosts are “school of hard knocks” TikTok and Instagram advice listening get rich quick schemers who put minimal investment into quality.

Both groups are enshittfying their industries. But the downward slope is much steeper in airbnbs than it is in hotels.

If every single software a company licensed to produce a video game required this, you would be waiting an hour to see the start menu. Don’t let any company do this or they all will.

Well this one is odd only because for end users it’s kind of seamlessly moved to the Health Connect service. The issue here is the new thing has a shittier dev experience and less features.

This all stems from how internally they only reward new products and not features or maintenance on existing products. So entire teams just spin up copies of existing products instead of working on a V2 overhaul in-place

Notice all the countries where guns are illegal still have higher male suicide rates

Interestingly enough. Queen bees do not actually control most hive activity. Individual workers and gatherers communicate through dance and pheromone signals and the hive literally votes on what it will do. For example a scout will find a new flower patch and tell the rest of the hive and the hive will vote on how many more bees to send.

It would have been far more interesting for the collective to have a queen but for part of the plot to be the humans misunderstanding her purpose to the collective, kill her, and then have the collective be just fine and produce a new queen.

Then it would literally be bees
