Worked well for me. Altho I'm just a small example. I run a mechanic shop where pay is directly tied to productivity, not time. About 6 months ago as an experiment, I started giving the techs off on fridays, making it mon-thurs. Turns out overall productivity didn't change; they got more done per day on the 4 day work week. So it ended up being an extra day off with no change in pay. They're happy with the longer weekend, and I'm happy with a day of peace and quiet to get paperwork done. I don't plan on changing it back anytime soon.

I can't believe people were buying into their "franchise". They approached me in 2020 when they were trying to expand into the town I live and I had a downtown warehouse to operate out of. After they got done explaining everything, I laughed until they hung up.

You had to buy the scooters from them at around $600 each, you were responsible for all the recovery/batteries/maintenance/damage/theft caused by customers, warranty was non-existent ("call our chinese supplier and they will totally hook you up"), and after that they took 20% off the top. Some quick math put it at over 6 months before each scooter became profitable IF nothing happened to it in that time. Someone throws it in the canal just to be a dick? Sucks to be you, you're out $600 + whatever else you've put into it every time it happens.

Really came off to me that they were making their money selling to suckers who thought they were going to be entrepreneurs.

Edit: They did apparently did get someone here into it because I saw them around for a few months before disappearing completely.

Looking at what Ozzys put out in the last few years; I would have sworn his singing was already AI-generated. And Sharon's just puppeting him around à la Weekend at Bernies.

According to their website, no.

All our varieties are bred using classic and traditional seed breeding techniques without any genetic modification (non-GMO).

"is it legal to use biological waste after consuming those peppers?"
I do not understand this question.

"is is healthy?"
To quote Bill Clinton: "it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is"

Suppressors do exist. And are commonly used in close quarters combat. Especially by well funded combatants like the IDF.

I doubt he's broke. Far more likely that he's just a bigot.

it’s interesting to see the drone’s perspective for a change.

The Russia/Ukraine conflict has really shown the drone's place on the battlefield. It's awesome; and terrifying.

What a convenient find.

Any other Motorola phone users get this notification pop-up? I found a post on the forum that shall not be named and it seems like a worldwide Motorola glitch but no official word yet.

Just wanted to repost here in case anyone else was weirded out by what Ricardo is doing on your phone.

I have a laptop with obsolete, licensed diagnostic software that I use on old equipment still in service. I've kept it alive longer than it should have been, but it's only a matter time before a disk or mobo failure puts me in a bad spot.

I'd like to make a clone of the current OS (Windows 10) as-is that could be run in VirtualBox or some other VM as a backup. Is it as simple as making a disk image with DD and then loading that up in VirtualBox? I'm sure it's not, but what am I overlooking? Or what other software would be better to use?

I'm fairly computer literate, but a mechanic by trade; So, not an expert.

Thanks for any help.
