Five Guys is infamously overpriced.

You can get a burger and fries and a soda at Wendy's for under $10.

Is it as good as Five Guys? Nearly, since Five Guys actually isn't actually that good IME.

When the economy dives, people typically continue to spend on liquor and luxury food items as these are relatively inexpensive ways for them to comfort themselves. But as it continues to worsen they will cut out those expenditures and learn to make beans and rice taste good. No doubt you are still doing well now, but you're going to face worsening supply shortages on the one hand and customers who cannot afford to feed themselves adequately on the other. And as SNAP eligibility gets cut down, you're going to feel the crunch there as well. They're bringing back ABAWD and eliminating the exemption for the homeless, which means those homeless who aren't also disabled are going to only have SNAP for 3 months per 3 years. There are some programs that will keep some of them eating, but funding for those programs is also being cut, so they won't be able to help many people remain eligible.

And falling.

Which dust? Nuclear fallout? The US cannot become fully self-sufficient in less than a couple of decades. We moved manufacturing of entire classes of product to other nations and it cannot come back overnight. The only way the US became the manufacturing titan in the first place (a title which it has since ceded to China in pursuit of increasing corporate profits) was that all of the other contenders had war in their countries which damaged their manufacturing base, so the world became accustomed to buying things from the USA. Now the world is becoming rapidly unaccustomed to buying anything from us thanks to Dipshit Don's tariffs and other fuckery. We'll be lucky if we keep the #2 spot for long.

We couldn't subjugate Viet Nam and we couldn't subjugate Afghanistan, you think we can conquer the world in 12 months? Put down the crack pipe before you burn yourself.

Sure, but there's a whole editing step between the direction and the release where that is supposed to be fixed.

Probably not. Since many jobs are fake and there is therefore no intent to fill them, this has likely been true for some time already.

It's easy to believe that things are much worse now, though.

Followup, there's not enough jobs for everyone just at the same time that the big bountiful buttfuck reinstitutes work requirements for aid programs. But you can't get a waiver unless unemployment is over 10%. And while this is actually true pretty much everywhere, the unemployment rate is designed to stop counting people when they have been unemployed for a long time. Therefore, the worse unemployment gets, the bigger the lie of the unemployment rate is, specifically for reasons like this — and to support government lies about how good the economy allegedly is.

TL;DR: This is going to get really fucking ugly really, really soon.

The specific degree is irrelevant for most people, but having one is necessary because the lack of one is used to disqualify applicants in order to reduce the pool of applications which must be reviewed. You can't fix this without setting standards for what positions you can require a degree for, which isn't realistic. Also, if you did that, HR departments would use some even dumber metric for which applications to reject up front to shrink that number.

It seems like fewer and fewer sets have a 24 Hz mode...

First post with content is redundant, lol.

Ride my dick harder.

"Google is one of the leaders in AI research and their AI assisted search is getting better"

Hahahahahahahhaha no.

Only people who don't know anything can believe that, because people who know things see the Gemini search results decreasing in quality over time.

I just did a search yesterday to try to find results from some non-AI resources that usually come up when I search certain types of terms. Not only did Google not give me any such results this time, it also gave me an AI result which was totally batshit. It said some other thing with a totally different acronym was the thing I was looking for. And it actually put the correct name of the thing next to what I was searching for so it was obvious they didn't match.

Gemini results are getting worse and not better, and also larger so they demand more attention even as they become more worthless.

What we need is to enforce antitrust preemptively by not allowing M&A that will result in a too big to fail situation. They don't just magically happen, the government approves them.

Keep deep throating the boot, Leon senpai will recognize you any day now

There is not one kind of cloud, so there is not one point of a cloud.

Can confirm. Safeway calls this the "midnight down" crew. I did uniformed security at a Safeway in Santa Cruz for a while. That store was open all night, but even if it wasn't, there would still be employees in it.

The brushless motors they are using are designed specifically for use with multicopters, and the semiconductors that control those motors are designed specifically to control brushless motors. They have no other purpose.

That part is true. Missiles are much more profitable.

You seem to be a coward.
