Ok? You’re paying by the gram regardless of the terminology on the display. If you buy a family size bag of chips, it isn’t being weighed in “family sizes,” it is still sold by US ounces.

Right. So the fraction of an ounce is in grams. We’re saying the same thing.

I’m not sure why people downvoted instead of educating. To answer your question: no, it isn’t. It has been awhile since I’ve used torrents, so this may be a little out of date, but typically, within your P2P client you’ll have active “seeds,” including while you’re downloading. Some people immediately delete files from “active” after their download is complete. It is generally considered proper etiquette to leave the torrent active (at least) until it you have uploaded approximately 2x what you have downloaded. This helps keep torrents active and relatively quick, while not placing the bulk of the bandwidth burden on a few seeders.

Every region will have renewable/clean energy that is better suited to it. Investing in many approaches and deploying them where they’re most effective is definitely the right approach. Alaska would be terrible for solar, but I imagine this solution wouldn’t have anywhere near the amount of seasonal fluctuation. My only concern would be the potential effects on marine life, though I’m sure it would be far less than the heating and accidification of the oceans due to emissions.

Hopefully, these menaces get taken off the streets.

Let’s not give brietbart site traffic.

While this is welcome news, I refuse to utilize their service until they stop bringing exclusivity to the PC market. It is asinine on consoles and even more so on PC.

Reporters tend to work certain beats and often wear credentials. It wouldn’t surprise me if she recognized him. Additionally, the staff from these far-right rags tend to make themselves “memorable.”

A dime sack is referring to the monetary value. The amount per ten sack would vary in time and place, but you bet your ass your dealer was weighing it. It was nice and affordable for an employed teenager to have a bit of fun on a Saturday.

Weed is measured in grams as well. For instance, an eighth is 3.5g. Most drugs in the US are measured in grams, with the exception of those that come from illicit pill houses. There, you’re paying by the pill and getting what you get.

That sounds likely as well. Now that you say it, it seems obvious that it was bon appetite. Thanks

HOAs are just another example of institutional racism and should be abolished.

While the story can be a bit bland or even cringy, the movies have a lot of visual appeal. I’m not surprised they do well.

This seems like bad voice to text. I figured out everything except “bone smack the teeth.” Anybody know what that’s supposed to be?

Why are you equating a poor movie going experience with being antisocial and introverted? This resort to ad hominem is unnecessary just because we are having a discussion. I get plenty of regular social interaction, it just doesn’t involve theaters. They’re a pretty minimal interaction space, anyway, if you’re behaving as you should in that space. People can get out and enjoy each other’s company for cheaper and with a better overall experience in myriad ways. While I agree that there need to be more third spaces, the theater won’t be it, if for the expense alone. I remember a time when it was a good way to enjoy some A/C for a couple of hours for relatively cheap. It’ll cost $20+ just for the ticket to sit in a dirty chair.

Very true! I have a great setup at home and I am sitting in the best position for it. Also, it isn’t deafening when action picks up. Louder is not necessarily better.

Theaters tend to be dirty, and the people tend to contribute to making the experience worse with their lack of common decency and consideration for others. Add the cost to attend and the value just isn’t there for many people. These are the major factors to declining sales. Additionally, my home setup is quite nice and not as expensive as you might imagine. My home experience is great. There’s no one to interrupt, throw food, or generally make a nuisance. Also, I can pause at my leisure if I need to take a moment for something else.

Well, isn’t that great! Fish the species into oblivion and decimate the ecosystem!

I suppose. I don’t think he’s inherently wrong here, though. Ticket sales have been declining steadily for some time, and 2020 sped it up. Theaters have grown increasingly expensive to attend, while the experience has gotten progressively worse.

“Old news” is an idiom meaning outdated or no longer relevant. It isn’t quite that literal.
