What's the context here

 

This likely applies to all larger commission based purchases but do your large buys near the end of the month.

Why? Commission based jobs generally have bonuses and incentives for their staff to hit specific sales targets for the month. What this means is, near the end of the month you'll have sales staff trying a little harder to close deals and get in those last minute sales. What this means for you is a sales person more willing to negotiate a better deal on your purchase.

This is coming from personal experience as I worked in furniture sales for 6 years (two different stores) and tried it out a couple times myself.

Just curious what issues you're having with the Epic store. I've bought a few games now and thought the process was pretty smooth.

Lol, they need to do a little quiz after the movies. But really though, if you don't want to watch the movies why are you an academy voter

Yea this is like the "Alan Rickman did his first movie at 45". Like sure, but he was a mega accomplished stage and British TV actor for 20 years prior.

I hate that I read this while taking a leak

I was thinking the other day, imagine a plane went down in 2015 with Kanye West and Elon Musk aboard. It would be like "ah man, there go a couple legends".

15 minutes is crazy fast and assumes they just get exactly what they want first go. You need to factor in running your PC using Photoshop or equivalent, which is fairly resource intensive, sustained over what is realistically 40-60 minutes at best, sourcing assets from servers which are using energy to serve the images. Compared with AI which has high usage for sure but it's extremely short bursts.

Redemption events at shoppers turn 200k into $300 or 250k into $400 on Black Fridays. Last year they had an event to double your entire point spend which was the best redemption yet (500k became $1000). I've used these events to get my PS5, PSVR2, Xbox, switch, Sonos speakers, Apple Airpod Max, sim race wheel. Of course starting this year they've stopped carrying all the cool electronics.

All this being said, you can only redeem a max of 500k in any translation so keeping anything more than that doesn't serve much purpose.

This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

I have two accounts in the app. One of them, if I go to Settings > General has "Drawer Navigation" and "Bottom Navigation"

My other account doesn't have these options at all.

I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restaurant called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6

Don't know the guy, just thought his jacket would look cool in a picture with the bricks and graffiti

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS
