They stopped making the big ones about a decade back. The ones sold by the truck should still be larger, but not by as much as they used to be.

They also went up in price a lot. Firecrackers used to cost ~$0.29 wholesale but they raised it to ~$0.55 when they shrunk them.

That’s every binary, though. False are everything that’s not true. Ones are everything that’s not zero.

God cloned Adam to make Eve, thus we all are the same gender. Wake up sheeple!

No, that’s just quantum gender mechanics.

#2 and 3 don’t actually happen since it can’t be recorded on the P&L.

The donation would get recorded to cash and offset to a liability account, probably something named Charitable Donations Payable likely with a subaccount for the specific programs.

Overall, the effect is essentially the same, though. Fwiw, I like to use the same comparison as you did to show to people how dumb this belief is.

The individual who donated at the register also is allowed to claim the donation when they file their taxes.

I knew Google started ignoring double quotes for required text years ago, but I found out yesterday that it doesn’t even think “site:xyz.com” needs to be followed.

I was researching something and saw some Reddit posts. Clicked below it to view results from Reddit and a third of them were other websites.

That’s how you develop new messaging protocols.

If the slide has all the information, then it’s a poor slide deck.

The slides are supposed to be an outline. The rule of thumb is max seven lines and max seven words per line.

Here’s a couple examples.

Good slide:

• Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
• Industry trends
• Low demand for new products
• Strong demand for XYZ

Also good slide, depending on who you’re presenting to.

• Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
• Industry: -3%
• New products: -30%
• XYZ: +4%

Bad slide:

• Revenue is 10% below estimate
• Industry has seen a 3% drop in sales
• New products ABC and MNO have had a 30% lower demand than we expected
• Product XYZ has higher demand than anticipated with sales 4% higher than estimate

All the extra information on the bad slide can be delivered by the presenter. It’s not necessary on the slide. The slide is for people to glance at to assist them during and after the presentation and to help them anchor themselves in the discussion.

Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he’s also an ad.

Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

“Hardly anything is evil, but most things are hungry. Hunger looks very much like evil from the wrong end of the cutlery. Or do you think your bacon sandwich loves you back?”

Your argument was never if fertilized chicken eggs are chickens but if a fertilized chicken egg is meat.

it certainly hasn’t been tested in court yet, at least not that I’ve been able to find.

Arbitration is allowed in an EULA and has been sanctioned by courts.

Most agreements are considered enforceable as long as their content is reasonable, you have been granted sufficient notice to accept or decline the agreement, the agreement is not unconscionable, and it doesn’t violate the UCC.

It’s usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.

The location usually isn’t great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.

OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It’s still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

First you’d need a machine. I’ve got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it’s likely the port is Realtek which isn’t supported well.

So, you’ll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you’ll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don’t plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

Once you’re happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you’ll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.

SD has pass through charging, so once the battery is fully charged and also while it is plugged in, you aren’t powering it through the battery like cell phones and most laptops do.

That’s how nearly all modern devices work. Li-Ion can’t be charged and discharged simultaneously. There is circuitry to split the power between the battery and the device when it’s being charged.

Cheaper devices will just stop charging when you use them or they won’t work at all when plugged in.

It’s not working because W11 is using a CPU instruction that doesn’t exist in older processors.

And by older, I don’t mean Pre-Zen or Intel 5XXX… I mean OG AMD Athlon and Intel Core 2 Duo. If you’re trying to run on a CPU from 2008, that’s on you. These were never supported - hence the title.

The only reason this was discovered was because some YTers make videos of running W10/11 on super old computers.

My favorite part is looking at the rating and seeing that all the 1-4 star reviews are missing. Sure, the product has 1.7 stars, and, sure, Amazon requires you to write a review with your rating, but somehow only the people who rated it five stars left reviews 🤔

Only way I’m using most shopping sites is if I know they’re trustworthy and if they support PayPal or one of the major payment processors. I’m not going to type my CC number into a random website and trust that they aren’t hacked.

There are a lot of issues with PayPal, but at least it makes it easy for me to get a refund if the seller refuses. The last time I had to get a refund, it was because the seller told me I had to ship my $20 product back to China in order to get a 50% refund. This was despite the returns agreement explicitly requiring them to cover return shipping and that shipping it to China would have cost me about $150.

The details for Prime explicitly refer to it as Two Day Delivery, not shipping.

They haven’t had an expansion franchise since 2002 and it’s unlikely it’ll happen any time in the near future. 32 teams is perfectly balanced - each conference has 16 teams and four divisions. Each division has four teams.

It would also be very expensive.

You’d need a stadium that met the NFL standards. The average stadium costs about $2B. Fortunately for her (and unfortunately for the rest of us), taxpayers on average pay about $1.2B of that. We’ll be very generous and assume they paid even more or she received a substantial loan that will be paid off otherwise, leaving her with about $250M out of pocket.

It should be noted that the opposite is more often true for expansion teams, though. Cities don’t want to pay for the stadium because there’s more risk with new teams. They could decide to leave very quickly, the owners might not have the capital to keep the team afloat, etc. The Texans were the last expansion team and nearly all of the cost for their stadium was privately funded.

Now, the NFL also charges a fee for expansion teams. This mostly has to be a guesstimate because we haven’t seen one in two decades. The Texans paid $700M at the time so we can assume it would be closer to $1.5B now.

After that, you have the practice facilities and offices. Cities don’t usually cover that. You might be able to get away with using local facilities for a couple of years, but that won’t be enough to actually create a competitive team. A safe low-end estimate for this would be $150M. The Cowboys paid $1.5B for their facilities, but other teams have paid as low as $125M.

Finally, the last big cost is payroll. This by itself would sink any chance she has.

The NFL requires all guaranteed contracted salaries to be placed in escrow. I’m not sure where that rule came from, but I can probably guess Al Davis is to blame. A single year’s salary would be $225M for 2023 and around $240M for next season.

However, most of the big name players have guarantees that would destroy that. The most common is a signing bonus. Teams love them because the salary cap rules would allow them to amortize it over the length of the contract, including “void years”. Your QB would receive about $200M immediately upon signing. The expansion draft picks and early draft picks would be another $300-500M likely. In the end, the salary escrow plus bonuses would be about $500M-1B.

So assuming everything goes her way, she’d be on the hook for close to $2.5B immediately plus the reoccurring costs.

It should also be noted that the NFL isn’t really a great way to make money as an owner. It’s really just a long term retirement hobby for billionaires. They could just go invest in companies or whatever, but they buy NFL teams because they like football and it occupies their time. Yeah, they’ll make money, but not as much as they otherwise could. There’s a reason most owners hate the idea of a super-billionaire like Bezos owning a team.
