In my area the biggest factor is multiple families purchasing homes together. When you're splitting the mortgage it's a lot more affordable.

Where am I going? To make room for people trying to clear the intersection behind me. Failing to pull forward means they're either stuck on the far side for another cycle of the light or they're going to block the intersection. With really busy intersections leaving those big gaps can make a huge impact on traffic trying to get through the one behind you.

The overlap between "cares enough about image quality to not be okay with jpeg" and "doesn't know to install a third party app" is probably too small for most manufacturers to care about.

I've been on a jury a couple of times myself. The first time was boring and was a frustrating case. The second time was disturbing but very interesting and definitely a satisfying experience.

I understand that not everyone wants to serve if their employer doesn't pay them; it can be a burden. Luckily mine does so I always look forward to summons in the hopes I get on a jury now.

In modern media it pretty much just means they found two people who think that. If they want to get "official" they can arrange for polls to be done but those are very easily crafted to get the results they want.

Tell her "danger zone" for me!

The base has a length of 230 meters on each side and the largest interior chamber measures roughly 10 x 5 x 6 meters so yeah, loads of dense solid stone there.

Not sure how old the program was OP watched but they found one void in 2017 using cosmic rays. I'm guessing the pyramids are way too solid for ultrasound or x-ray to work.

The void isn't like a room we simply haven't entered, it's more like the equivalent to an empty space inside the walls of your home. It's there, but there are no passages leading to it. About 75-80% of the interior volume of the pyramids is solid stone as far as we know so it's much less like a modern building and more of a huge pile of stones that happens to have a few open spaces with passages leading to them.

Here's an article that includes an illustration showing just how solid they are as well as the recently discovered void and more info on how they found it using cosmic rays of all things: https://www.science.org/content/article/cosmic-rays-reveal-unknown-void-great-pyramid-giza

I don't even think it needs to go for users and creators next; making moderation harder will have plenty of impact on its own. Many people seem to think mods randomly remove crap in some weird power trip. The reality is most are busy removing spam, abuse, shitposts, and the 5th submission of the same news link that's still on the front page. Once unpaid mods start leaving they'll have to implement automods that'll just suck as they always do. The quality of every sub is going to go to hell pretty quickly.

 

Somebody dumped these two in a nearby park. My wife found them this morning while on a walk so of course we brought them home. They're both social, flea-free, and still had full bellies so it much have just happened. We've got a pretty full house already so if anyone happens to be in the socal area and is looking for a pair of happy little voids, let me know!

Love it!

Consciousness consists of bio-electricity of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an ennobling of the sensual. Nothing is impossible. To navigate the path is to become one with it.

They recently laid off 90 employees out of 700 total. There's absolutely no way they're about to start paying the roughly 21,000 moderators that are active on a daily basis. The fact that they're actively vilifying moderators as spoiled children wanting everything for free (gotta love that irony) really slams the door on any possibility of treating them with respect, let alone actual compensation for actually running the damn place.

 

The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".
