My first thought was that it's an AI generated photo of LeVar Burton. The comment didn't seem like "who is that", more of a "why is this AI?"

Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that's something that matters to you then picking the "right" server matters a little bit.

For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you're missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.

I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.

"The Credit Genie app is free to use and includes interest-free and fee-free advances to help you make ends meet until your next payday. There is a recurring fee of $4.99 per month or $3.49 biweekly for maintaining your bank account connection with our app."

The effective rate will vary, but given the flat fee the finance charge could be huge. Like if you pay biweekly ($7/month) but only get like $10 loaned

Brake pads are also moving away from copper. Little improvements over time

I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.

What?! How in the world did you get that out of what I said.

There is a maximum monthly benefit. Maybe I need to go back and reword it or something, because this totally misses my point.

Ultimately the cap is because there is a max on how much you can receive per month. So they align with each other. But honestly if you're at the point where you're hitting the social security cap, then it's not even going to be your primary source of retirement. In which case capping benefits but not capping contributions would hardly be noticeable, but would help keep social security solvent.

To be clear, a maximum on monthly benefit, not total!

I don't work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

I'm pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you're right, it's absolutely not screenshots. It's a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it's possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That's not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

Between my current job (unlimited PTO) and my last (30 days PTO) I've had 30+ for the last 10 years.

Last year I used 35+ days.

A lot of it goes to smaller things. 1 or 2 days here and there. Few days camping, turn a 3 day weekend in to a 4 day, etc... It really can change how you use your time.

My cat is like this. He FREAKS OUT when you're in the shower. It's super annoying.

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick's and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.
