Software engineers at the company can expect to make $120,000 to $200,000 per year, according to job postings on Greptile’s website.
So that's the equivalent of 60k-100k at a job where you can work normal hours. I could see this maybe if he was paying more than twice the market rate for more than twice the normal amount of work, but he's not. Not even close.
This is really the worst part of this whole thing. If a 'normal' politician with his exact platform had won the election, it wouldn't feel nearly as bad. It'd still be awful, but not nearly as bad. The fact that he's getting away with all of this shit, that's the real kick in the teeth. It's a complete hemorrhage of justice and it really just hammers home how utterly fucked the system is. There is no justice, unless the perpetrator is poor and/or brown, and that should piss everyone off, regardless of political affiliation.
Some US states that keep enacting highly unpopular anti-trans, anti-woke, sexist, racist legislation are doing it in an effort to get left-aligned people to move away and not consider going there, with the goal of skewing elections in their favor.
The only things I've found that just straight up don't work on the deck are things with draconian anti-cheat (which don't work on Linux in general, not just the deck), and very old titles that have weirdly restrictive resolutions or control schemes or whathaveyou. Some games require some tweaking (mostly around controls, occasionally changing the Proton version, which is very easy to do within Steam), but generally that's been minor. The things that don't work well are typically things you wouldn't expect to work anyway.
It's worth noting that it makes it very easy to remap controls, even for games that don't natively support controllers or don't let you remap the controls at all normally. You can also invoke an onscreen keyboard as needed (for e.g. typing names). The controller mapping is very strong; it's not limited only to single buttons; you can create custom contextual radial menus, for instance, so even games that need many more unique controls than the Deck has buttons work fine with some tweaking. You can also view / download / rate other users' control mappings for any game that has them, so you don't even need to do the work yourself.
It's a fantastic piece of hardware for gaming. Looks great, feels great. It's a bit large (won't fit in a pocket, obviously), but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone who would reasonably want a handheld gaming PC. It's not a phone or a Gameboy.
I was without a desktop PC for a week or so due to a hardware failure, and was able to do everything I needed to do on the Steam Deck (with a USB mouse/keyboard, plugged into a monitor via a dock). So it's a great piece of hardware even for that.
If an "official act" is anything that happens while they're in office, Biden should just shoot Trump on his last day in office. Following this argument, he'd be immune to prosecution.
A denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future president with de facto blackmail and extortion while in office, and condemn him to years of post-office trauma at the hands of political opponents.
It's funny that this hasn't happened in 45 presidencies, yet his argument is that it's suddenly going to be a problem for every future president...
The 23-year-old recently purchased a condo in Streeterville as an investment, with plans to renovate the unit and either sell or rent it out.
That line right there tells you basically all you need to know about this person's opinion. "Doom spending" isn't what's keeping the vast majority of 23 year olds from purchasing a condo as an investment.
I cancelled Prime late last year, and haven't really missed it, either.
Leaving Prime also meant the end of free Amazon Prime Video (you can still rent or buy many movies without it), but I’ve been able to bear it.
While I had Prime, I think there was 1, maybe 2 instances where I wanted to watch something and it was actually included with Prime. Every other time, Amazon Video had the movie, but they wanted an additional fee to watch it, so this was absolutely no loss.
One thing to note: Every time I check out on Amazon, now, they offer me a reduced price 1-week "trial" of Prime, to get the expedited shipping, for like... $5 or so? If you cancel yours, and also see this offer: You can take the offer, submit your order (and get the free 2 day shipping), then once you get the shipping confirmation, go in and cancel the Prime subscription. Since you've had it for only a few hours, Amazon actually refunds the price you paid. In effect, you get the shipping benefits for free. We'll see if they close this loophole, but for now, it works.
All else aside, if you hide a corpse in a freezer, how stupid do you have to be to just leave it there when you sell the house? That seems like an absolutely sure-fire way to ensure you're getting caught. Unless they just forgot it was there, which would be even crazier.
Bold of you to assume it was $24 and not $5.
I, for one, fully support this development.
Jesus. My father died of lymphoma after fighting it for 8 years or so, and he was miserable for a lot of that time. Luckily (if you can call it that), he was a military veteran and the VA took care of the treatment, but even with the treatment, his quality of life wasn't good. If I get cancer, I'd rather just kill myself before it reaches that point than bankrupt my family. It's pretty fucked that that's something we have to think about.
