I also miss being able to properly shoulder a handset to keep your hands free.

Earbuds are the superior option.

Prob just some losers on TikTok pretending like it’s the newest trend but not really using one in real life.

Any guess as to what a million rounds would go for if you bought em at once?

Just looked and they're dancing on his grave over on hexbear. Classy bunch.

They already had tried to get him with Novichock and just barely didn't kill him. I'm sure they'd have tried again.

I didn't dig deep for the best prices, but found 9mm 100 counts on some bulk ammo website selling for $31.50. So back of the napkin math says $315,000. Realistically probably a good bit less if you're buying large quantities, but in any case, it's a lot of money's worth just for the bullets.

I like how that shortage wasn't caused by Obama, but instead a bunch of psycho Republicans' overreactions to a black democrat making it into office.

Yeah big grain of salt with that promise.

One thing that stands out to me about old.reddit is that it allows you to browse NSFW subs without being signed in. I feel like that absolutely will not jive with their IPO, so something there is gonna change one way or another. Could be as simple as no longer allowing any non logged in users from browsing NSFW or more drastic like killing NSFW altogether or killing old.reddit.

Yeah to be honest I couldn't recall whether it worked well or at all on new reddit because I never use new reddit. I do remember the RES devs basically saying they were all but walking away from the project some time last year and that any updates going forward were gonna be bare minimum.

I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.

  • Killing the free API access and thereby putting most 3rd party apps out of commission
  • The expensive rebrand from pentagram
  • Reddit all but officially announcing they're going for the IPO finally (plans leaked to the press)
  • Unpopular redesign of the new reddit layout which I assume will push a group of folks back to old.reddit
  • ...

Also wouldn't surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.

Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad

Also to drum up funding. Lotta vaccine research labs do outreach to keep people informed/hyped up about their research which brings in donor money and grants.

This fits in with my theory that a minimum of 20% of the population is a waste of space.
