In the bottom gap, either side of the 1 being a bomb causes the 1,2,4 corner to be a bomb.
If the bomb is right of the 1, then the square above and below the 4 must be bombs because of the 2.
If the bomb is to the left of 1, the 2,2,3,3 forces one of the squares below the second 2 to be a bomb, which means the square below the 4 must be safe, so the square above 4 must be a bomb.
No, the 3 below the two 1s has a shared partner with the 2 to it’s left. So because it has a bomb directly above it, it must have one more below it. Therefore the space under the 4 would be empty and the space above it would have to be a bomb for the upper 2.
I am tired of getting recommendations mostly made either of corporate giants AND videos with sub 100 views from channels I haven’t ever seen on topics I’ve never touched. I want broaders topics, but I get recommended exactly what I don’t want to see: startup creators and huge entities “creators”. I want medium sized...
That’s interesting, because YouTube recently hit me a channel named “Scary Interesting” where he just tells stories about diving and caving accidents. I’m not sure where or how it got that, but after the first one I saw, I binged a bunch of it
I just checked and he does have 1m subs, so it’s not small, but it’s not corporate.
Another seemingly random recommendation was Gabi Belle. She does video essays too and they hooked me in with her talking about how ridiculous Kitchen Nightmares as a show is. Gabi has a great humor.
If I had to classify my YouTube recommendations, is in the first two rows I’m guaranteed to have like 25-35% of them be at least someone I’m subscribed to. The next 70% are related to videos I’ve watched recently. Sometimes it feels like one video in there occasionally is a “moon shot”. That’s where scary interesting or Gabi Belle squeezed in. Sometimes it’s a generic trending video, sometimes it’s a creator I haven’t watched in a long time just posting something new.
72% chance from here. Probably high enough that swing state voters opted to stay home. This was the vibe practically all October. The FBI felt confident enough in her win to announce they were investigating her to appear unbiased.
Polling being inaccurate for whatever reason doesn’t change the article after article assuring everyone Hillary had it in the bag.
At least for Kroger, you get $0.03 baseline with no discount. After you spend $100, you get one fill up with $0.10 discount up to 35 gallons. My vehicle in particular has 11 gallons. So my maximum discount is $1.10, up from base line $0.33 discount. $1.10 discount per $100 spent is barely worth it.
Even if you used all 35 gallons, that’s $3.50 discount per $100 spent.
So if you have a massive vehicle that takes 35 gallons, you can save $35 off the fill up after you spend $1000 in the store. Could you have saved that $35 by shopping at a different grocery store?
A 2020 Cochrane review that assessed the two clinical trials concluded that “whether adults see their dentist for a check‐up every six months or at personalized intervals based on their dentist’s assessment of their risk of dental disease does not affect tooth decay, gum disease, or quality of life. Longer intervals (up to...
I’ve watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it’s clearly not the intended experience I think.
The most popular streamers aren’t popular because they are good at games, it’s because they are entertaining. The game might be used to draw people in, but it’s not really about the game itself.
I would say watching sports is about the game. No one is watching NFL because Madden was casting it (I know he’s gone, but I don’t know any famous sports casters/commentators).
Can you elaborate on that? The only thing I can think of is the government owns the property and rents it out and can keep the rent to what it costs I suppose. But utilization of the spot seems problematic over the long long term.
High value locations due to proximity to services and public transit would be filled almost instantly and a family could live in that spot for 80+ years.
Someone moving to a new city would basically only be able to find housing in less and less desirable locations. Living in the city center versus 30 minutes out of town would cost the same I assume. You’d really want to know someone who works in the organization that manages properties to know when something is coming available and put in your application before it’s public.
That same logic applies to landlords though. They don’t provide housing, they provide a service. They provided the capital for the construction workers, plumbers, electricians, etc.
Insurance and taxes are forced as part of typical mortgage payments because otherwise people wouldn’t pay them. Coordinating repairs and hiring out those jobs is also part of the service.
Part of the problem is that rent is more expensive than a mortgage. Another problem is that a majority of rentals are owned by corporations that cartel to have ever increasing rental rates. Rent increases aren’t tied to anything except they can raise the price on a whim.
If you mortgaged $200k at 3% in 2020 you had a house note of $850. That same house would require a $350k mortgage at 7.5% is $1400. The landlord has the same house note on the same property but is charging rent like they just bought the house last week.
A co-op is not renting. It’s basically a building with condos/apartments that has a built in HOA. If the roof needs repaired every apartment needs to chip in for the sudden payment if the co-op isn’t properly saving for those capital expenditures.
So… The sewage backfills into the house and you put in a petition to the government to come fix the problem? You just move out and until the government gets around to fixing the house, it just sits vacant and the problem exacerbates itself?
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
For Android, in the notification shade, you can hit the power button and there should be an option called “Lockdown” which prevents biometrics from unlocking your phone, just like when it first boots.
There’s also app pinning (has to be enabled in settings) where you can lock an app in the task manager and clicking the bubble at the top and select “Pin”. You can’t swap apps or go back to the home screen without password/biometrics.
min-maxing in online games promotes an environment of elitism that forces anyone who plays with the min-maxer to conform to a very narrow play-style; this by-default limits gameplay options for other players, and often leads to ridicule and negative experiences when the non-min-maxer does not have the “perfect build for...
I think another aspect of min maxxers not liking “casuals” is that if you didn’t research your build to know to use the min-max settings, you probably didn’t research other things. Are you also going into the encounter blind? It’s a team effort and people want to maximize their chances of success.
Maybe a group of non minmaxxers can clear the content, but they have to play better than the group of minmaxxers, because the extra output makes up for technical mistakes made.
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), urged President Joe Biden in a video on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday to stop all imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to the US, saying they pose "an existential threat to the American auto industry." BBC News (LR: 3 CP: 5)...
If the concern is that these vehicles can collect data from consumers and monitor US infrastructure, why not instead work on legislation that bans most telemetry data like that from all consumer cars on US roads?
I bet a $10,000 - $15,000 brand new car might have some Americans choosing smaller cars instead of the 3 ton SUV and truck behemoths out on the road.
Maybe off topic, but can you realistically “steal” crypto? It’s just a system where you need a key to authorize transactions. It’s not tied to a person, it’s tied to a key.
It’s like, “who you are” part of authentication doesn’t exist, so therefore who you are wouldn’t define ownership.
Yeah, but if you steal my money, the centralized state can punish you and demand restitution. It’s like when Seth Greene had his NFT phished, he had no legal recourse to get it back.
Has there been any case where people stealing crypto got them in trouble? The only thing I’ve seen is where people create rug pulls and they get charged with fraud, so legal repercussions against an organization.
Well the best strategy is to only buy four houses and never convert to hotels, preventing your opponents from buying houses, since there is a finite supply.
I wore shorts and flip flops to a grocery store in the dead of winter. Guy asked if I was cold, and I was like “I went from one climate controlled box into a drivable climate controlled box, and now I’m in this climate controlled box”
Yeah, things could go wrong like a car wreck or something where I get stuck outside for an extended period of time and would become uncomfortable. But it is what it is.
