Not paid enough to say "no refunds" but given the ability to authorize giving out money for unofficial reasons? If it's unauthorized, then they're essentially stealing cash and assuming an extremely high risk of getting fired to avoid confrontation.

I've never worked a gas station, but I've worked fast food and I would have been fired soooo fast if I were giving out unauthorized refunds. Maybe even prosecuted if the amount was large enough. I've seen people fired for less.

Who in their right mind is accepting returns of lottery tickets, scratched or not????

Yes. Before youtube premium, the youtube app let you do this with no issue. They later paywalled it. It's not a technical problem.

People with lots of time and friends prefer multiplayer games more than people with little time and friends. Go figure.

Idk, a tablespoon is the largest spoon-based unit

But they can't force them to moderate or to not immediately delete every post made.

Yes. A very large part of what made the holocaust so terrible was that it was very effective at killing people.

Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.

The point of the post isn't to praise the pagers attack. It's to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.

And then immediately raise them 5x a week later

Isn't it a requirement in any Alien movie that only a single person on the entire crew isn'd dumb as a rock?

The thing is, Infinity War felt like a complete film. They could have just stopped there since the ending was satisfying enough on its own.

In contrast, Spiderverse's "ending" was just an abrupt roll-credits in the middle of the movie. It doesn't feel anywhere close to a complete film on its own. It's more like if someone was talking and

Yeah, it felt like half of a movie. Just kinda ends abruptly. Which is a shame, because the rest of the movie was quite good but the ending takes it down a few notches. Should be remedied once the sequel/part 2 comes out, but for now that non-ending is a blight on an otherwise great film.

I mean, what other type of controller would you buy on PC if you're looking to buy a game controller? Unless you're not including 3rd party controllers as "console controllers". Afaik, the xbox pro controller is still considered the best controller to use on PC, and while it is made by Microsoft, it's not a controller that comes with the console.

The PC controller market just isn't large enough to support pc-only controllers. Of course the recommendation is to always buy a console controller, pc controllers don't exist! 😂

Yes, I know some games have their own controller type like flight sticks, game pads, and OSU, but nobody is seriously using those for rocket league and elden ring.

Ideally, you set aside 3 to 6 months worth of your typical monthly spending to cover (some) emergencies and job loss, then invest everything else. 401(k) is still tax advantaged in the same way as an IRA, and you can typically do roth contributions to a 401(k) too. So there are benefits to going above your employer match.

But, you're right that you don't want to trap all of your money into a retirement account either. You'll probably want to make large purchases like a car or house. In that case, you plan out a timeline and invest in less risky things depending on how far out you plan to purchase said thing.

The overall idea of "invest in index funds as much as possible" can be applied generally, but the amount that you contribute and in which types of accounts heavily depends on the individual.

I just wanted to point out that 401(k)s without employer matching are basically just IRAs with high yearly caps because it took me a few years to realize that, and I fancied myself financially literate. It can be a good idea to contribute more, so long as you don't need the money elsewhere.

As best as you can, max out Roth IRA with an S&P 500 fund like VOO or a targeted date index fund. Also contribute to a 401(k) as much as possible.

This website says the lethal dose of Methadone for opiod-tolerant adults is >120-200mg, so I'd be very careful dosing that high. Your prescribed dose of 100mg is already twice the lethal amount for people without a tolerance. Also, reading up on it, the half life of methadone is a lot longer if taking a concurrent dose vs a first dose. Tripsit.me says up to 47 hours, Wikipedia says up to 55 hours.

The post is saying it's difficult to discover lemmy without someone telling you about it. It's not really about searching lemmy.

Lol, I'm not from Germany but I seriously doubt they'd fail you in a driving test because you put the car in neutral before you start it. That's just ridiculous.
