    I agree with your sentiment, but I'll say I'm in my 30s and in grade school they definitely taught us mean/median/mode as being ways to measure the average. That said, I do also use average to mean mean as that's what something like Excel calls it and that's what most people think of when measuring average unless you specify otherwise. So that's all to say, yeah it's a bit messed up.

    I mean those were just similar refreshes to what Sony did today, so Sony is ahead of the game. Microsoft had no Pro style console planned so no need for Sony to show their hand. Sony didn't even announce the PS4 Pro until just a couple months before it came out. Plus they want people buying consoles now, not waiting for a year.

    *Can't afford to buy a $48K car

    There are still sedans out there that can be gotten for a lot less, people have really been over spending on these large SUVs to make the average price $48K. Get a ~$30K sedan instead, you can get a Honda Civic for under $30K or a number of other cars.

    Now obviously that's still out of reach for a ton of people, but it just seems weird to say "can't afford a new car" and then picking something for $48K.

    at least at the next debt ceiling increase at the end of 2024

    Yeah, so basically long enough that nobody is going to remember this and she is going to George Costanza her way back into the office.

    It's a bit weird because it's "in a region", which begs the question if I capture a creature from a different region and move it to a region where it was extinct, is it extinct anymore? (There being only one also means it will quickly become 0 again.)

    Idk, just a weird thought.

    Question is who is just throwing $2 at comments? Should users just cut out the middleman and post their Venmo/Patreon handles or something?

    If the app stores take a 30% cut then they are making 60cents off the $2 and Reddit takes in 40¢ while the user gets $1.

    Just pay me the dollar directly, be sure to upvote, comment below and subscribe for more comments like this.

    Reddit's post was distinctly non-specific about the dollar amounts people can expect to see

    Lol, so basically "we might give you money if we feel like it".

    I feel bad for the neighbors sure, but the post also mentions their own dog. Like if you can't train your dog that's on you.

    MXM GPUs never really caught on, and nobody builds their own laptop, it's just not a thing like it is with desktops.

    Best option if you want upgradable graphics would be an external Thunderbolt dock, but even then there are plenty of caveats there.

    Target is now open until 8pm (7pm on Sunday), where it previously closed at 6pm. I'm excited to not have to rush after work anymore.
