for the cards…

sandisk extreme ($139 at bby) is a good choice. the switch-licensed card is the same price, and i think it’s the same card inside. the switch one also has a discount for bbyplus members (look on bby site for that).

the samsung pro plus costs a bit less and works well, too ($89 at bby).

for where to get them, safely…

buy in-store (or online for immediate pickup) from a major (b&m) retailer to avoid the potential problems with amazon’s co-mingled inventory.

I know i would go crazy eating the same bland flakes

make it the total raisin bran variety and i could probably handle it for at least a month or two.

and all that established dlc you may have spent several hundred (thousand or more, even) dollars on…

unusable and worthless, needs to be repurchased.

the first unlimited streaming-only was $7.99 in jan 2011. it had no ads and was literally ‘unlimited’.

“should be” $11.45 today (dec 2024, acc to bis.gov).

but wait, they now charge extra for streaming outside the ‘household’, so better knock that down by at least one-third.

hey look, we’re right back at $7.99.

if only he hadn’t fought back against being prosecuted.

he’d be in prison… or on death row… and we wouldn’t be in this mess—again.

it’s not really an “extra” key… but it is mapped differently (lsh+win+f23 or sumsuch) than one it might be ‘replacing’.

in us-ansi layout the right-side ctrl, a second winlogo or context menu key… could all be gone leaving only right alt and new copilot key between space and arrows.

many wisconsin stations are downsizing and consolidating, closing local news operations and studios, etc. one ownership group (different than this one) is actually getting rid of local weather persons and outsourcing their weather to the weather channel or some bullshit like that. which will work real well when localized bad winter weather hits, or tornado/flood seasons.

at any rate, this station (and others) are probably on the constant lookout for a reason… any reason… to shed someone from their staff, and if replaced–will replace for less money.

we.

were.

here.

first.

try, try again they will. over and over and over for (hopefully only) the next two years.

more like the trumpbaby effigy with a leaky diaper, leaving a cloud of stinkbombs and trail of gooey poo everywhere.

i just dug around a little to see before seeing your post. apparently nothing happened yesterday in chicago.

so either it was too cold, or they realized there wasn’t enough ‘easy’ targets in that city to make a big enough media splash.

Amazon claims the closures are part of a return to a third-party delivery model used prior to 2020, not linked to the unionization of workers at a Laval warehouse.

yea. right.

i don’t use email much at all, only signups at a few places.

at work, communications with my coworker or clients is by phone or in person, not email or very rarely sms. email is mainly the required communications with the state (business registrations, taxes and shit) and invoices and receipts for things we use or buy online. plus lots of spam. lots and lots of spam. oh, and scams. lots of scammers and phishers too.

old spice is in charge. paying a multi-billionare to do routine IT and site maintenance. very ‘efficient’ indeed.

“never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” g.carlin, et al.

that is, after all, how we are where we are now. and for not the first time.

some car parts cross the border as parts en route to assembly plants, and then back again in fully-assembled vehicles.

their original registered mark was strictly, and very specifically, for “Downloadable computer application software for mobile phones, smart devices, and computers, namely, software for the management of E-commerce shopping carts”. they have a brand new (jan 15, 2025) application that adds your functionality to it. meaning, when you released your app, you weren’t violating their mark… you still aren’t because their new application hasn’t even assigned to an examiner yet, and your use in that market predates their application.

they might just be fishing for an easy settlement or your domain name(s).

ianal and you could use one. so, consult an attorney that handles ip and trademarks, let them respond (don’t communicate with the other party yourself). actions might include a real threat of a counter-claim, challenging their new trademark application, or just tellin’ em to pound sand…
