I’m kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don’t plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.
I’m not sure if it affects the Google Home device, but it’s definitely possible to block certain people already. I did that on my phone because it kept showing things with my ex.
What if I call it Tylenol but always buy the generic anyway?
People have lost trademark rights because it’s too ubiquitous.
Aspirin was literally the brand name by Bayer but lost it.
A friend of mine tied a feather to a long stretchy string and it’s the cat’s new favorite toy. He’ll pounce on it, etc. as cats do, but his favorite thing is to grab it and bring it to his bed. He just kinda walks it over there, lays on it for a second, then wants you to toss it away so he can catch it again lol.
I felt dumb for reading it that way first, so thank you
Sales people generally make a commission, but you’re assuming they are selling expensive equipment to begin with. My cousin does inside sales at a tire company, mostly tires for construction vehicles. His commission is based on whether they meet sales numbers, and is considered part of his “normal” income, typically referred to as “on target earnings” or OTE.
A company that beat their number by $6mil and isn’t popping champagne means they are probably a billion dollar or more corporation.
Source: I work in pre-sales, get commission, do not get mints or pizza. I did get a $40 credit to our company store, which lets me buy shirts and hoodies with the company logo on it WITH MY OWN MONEY.
What makes this meme even better is the guy in the picture, Shah Rukh Khan, is a legend in Bollywood. Indian Tom Cruise. I’m pretty sure he has written in his contracts that all close ups require a fan in his face to make it look like his hair is gently blowing in the wind.
I didn’t have a DJ the first time around, just a laptop and Spotify playlist (was at a church that has a speaker system, so we got to hook into that). It was fine, but we booked an actual venue for this wedding.
No idea if I’ll feel like it was really worth it when it’s all said and done, but so far I actually like all the vendors picked.
Getting married in about 6 weeks. Compared to my first one 10 years ago, it’s nuts. One metric I read said that wedding costs were up 40% post COVID. My first wedding was maybe $5,000 and that was super strict budget. This one is closer to $25k.
My fiancée was quoted between $300-650 for makeup only. Seriously?? DJ is minimum $900 for 5 hours of work, I got a lot of quotes in the $1300 range, or $2200 for better lighting ($440/hour??) Look I know you had to buy your own equipment but holy hell.
In D&D 5e, you can get infinite money while living a life of luxury from an Uncommon item, Alchemy Jug, by making vials of acid.
Even just a few hundred gold in D&D 5e is probably hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your average D&D party are multi-millionaires.
It just works!
It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.
Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.
