Charging $999 for a watch is the next idea Apple will steal from them.

Actually, millions of people watch Spanish TV.

Spanish national lottery has amazing ads. Like in the sense that the writing, direction and execution in general is always spot on. I know how it sounds but they are really little works of art.

There were scientific studies confirming it does actually have limited benefits but of course it's not the "cure all" it's being sold as.

It's a video game, you really don't have to play it. Just don't buy it if you don't like the devs so much.

Just say "Sorry, I have some urgent work to do. We'll talk later". People don't care, no one will think you're an asshole. You can say it right after 'hello' or after quick exchange. I mostly avoid talking to people at work. I have my ANC headphones, sit at my desk and do my job/browse lemmy most of the time. But when people need help with something I do it fast and without needless bureaucracy so a lot of people know me as a reliable guy. After all it's work. Be polite, be professional, do your job and you'll be fine. And if you meet someone who's fun to talk to have lunch with them from time to time.

Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for. Those resources look very interesting and I definitely will check them out.

I, for one, have no idea who MrBeast is. Wish I also didn't know who Must was.

Also anything produced with solar power should be free.

Ok, I get your point. You're right, complaining about Biden not reforming healthcare system when from the very beginning it was clear that's not his objective is unfounded.

It's US, live bullets are just everywhere, real guns are everywhere (in Europe prop guns use different caliber, you can't use them with live ammo). Movie sets are no exception.

Since Americans keep voting for and buying into the private health care system, Biden is making the option American citizens are choosing and American corporations are pushing, more affordable and accessible.

His administration is doing the best they can with what American citizens choose to pay for and American corporations choose to provide.

That's an interesting take but one that I completely disagree with. No one is voting for the current system. You may believe that people voted for Biden because he promised to keep the current system. I believe they voted for him despite that. Most Americans do support single payer/public option healthcare, it's just impossible for them to get it in the current system (I explained why in the previous comment).

I don't know about OP but I'm not saying Biden ignores healthcare. I'm saying he is not delivering what most people want: a public option. People want new system while Biden gives them more of the old one. That's why people complain.

Actually, you're totally wrong. Healthcare in US is private and making access to private healthcare easier doesn't solve any real problems. It just pumps more money into insurance companies and private hospitals. The healthcare expenditure is still raising (and is highest in the world with worst results than in other countries), medical bills are still growing (including out of pocket costs), people have more and more debt and insurance companies are doing great on the stock market. And this is exactly what Biden wants: preserve the status quo and pump more money into private healthcare companies. The main difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans want to cut government spending and make individuals pay directly to the private sector (so they can charge even more) while Democrats want to tax people and pump money into private sector through ACA (in a more controlled way). That's it.

When people say 'healthcare' they mean 'system without huge out of pocket costs and crashing debt', not 'a bit cheaper private insurance'.

Or they just have too much money.

My heat pump has a timer setting. I can tell it when to start heating water or when to start AC. If your weekly schedule doesn't vary widely it should be enough. I have it set up to heat the water during the nigh and heat up my apartment a little bit right before I get out of bed. I never needed anything more.

You switched to Rust from other language? I think what I would really like to know deep knowledge about Rust do you need to make the switch. I read the whole book and did a deeper investigation about the main features for a talk about Rust in my company. I've spend some time reading about the ideas behind type classes, algebraic types, memory safety and others and how it compares to other languages. But that's pretty much it. Is there anything else you need deeper understanding of? What are they asking about during interviews?

There's so many issues with all the smart/IOT devices that it's just not worth getting into. Few if any manufacturers offer proper, open integrations and when it comes to home appliance there are more important features than that. Just get up to turn off your AC, that's still the best solution.

So is this another fabricated case just so that Supreme Court can strip cities of some rights? I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Clearly the public part.

Are they bragging or complaining?
