Oh you meant credit line, not credit? They will quickly shrink that if not used. All the credit cards I haven’t used for a while reduced their credit lines wiltin a few years. Some by as much as 10x.

They don’t give it to you at 0% apr. Most credit cards have insane rates above 20%. They can and will come after just about everything you own.

Take care of your health in general, but take extra special care of your core. Your back will thank you in 20 years.

I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.

I don’t think you understood the point I made.

I doubt there’s significant difference.

One of those speed limits is designed for a location where cars are unlikely to hit a human directly. Another location can have a child randomly run into the street. 70 and 170 are both death sentences.

Speed limiters in cars that don’t dynamically adjust to actual speed limits are useless and only exist to check the boxes for idiot voters disconnected from reality.

Ambulance could take 30 minutes to get to your house. But even if you imagine a magic ambulance that gets there in 5, that’s 5 extra minutes a person is potentially not breathing.

How would these work exactly? Where I live max speed on freeways is 70mph and 25mph on residential streets. You can definitely still kill someone using a car limited to maximum legal speed.

When russia inevitably starts collapsing from the inside and fracturing into smaller city states (or whatever local tsars decide to call their occupied territories) I’m sure that America and the rest of the advanced militaries will have boots on the ground immediately to secure the nukes.

Either way, not worried.

My Lemmy experience became infinitely better after blocking 2 instances where this nonsense is coming from.

I actually made a mistake of trying to have a conversation with them there when I just joined Lemmy. Never again lol.

In what way?

Are you seriously comparing tiny, colonial countries to russia? There’s nowhere we can really look in history.

Judging by the state of the rest of russia’s military, I’m not worrying too much about nukes when the rest of world has modern and tested defense systems.

What’s the worst thing that can happen? Russia is already a shithole where vast majority of honest and hardworking population lives like shit - they will continue to live like shit. The only ones that will get hurt from the inevitable infighting that starts are the oligarchs. Fuck 'em.

I feel like this would allow next tsar of russia to claim this was putin`s war, give back Ukrainian territory, maybe even promise some reparations they have no intentions to deliver, and continue leeching off natural resources.

Either way, immediate problem of these cunts killing Ukrainian children by bombing hospitals is solved.

This is not a typical extension and it cannot be removed. It doesn’t even show up in the list of installed extensions.

Those are very basic mice that will have no issues in Linux if you don’t care about their software.

At least Marques if we have to select from that pool.

Your conclusion is based on only one side of the story. And this story is coming from an unnamed business that’s using social media to shit on a provider that dropped them.

But even assuming that’s true, name any other large provider that would behave differently. AWS will terminate your services instantly and their support is even worse than CF. Apple is the same and then will take 2 weeks to reply. Google is a ghosting champion.

Just to be clear I’m talking about B2B relationships. Not end user communication.

If the article was about a non profit or a legit small business with a web presence, I would agree with you. We’re talking about massively risky business with spectacular profit margins.

I just don’t believe that CF suddenly realized these guys are rolling in money and wanted their cut. The risk just wasn’t worth it to CF confirmed by the fact that they did not negotiate at all and happily lost the casino as their client.

We’re easily making enough to pay $120k/yr to CF, but they are not creating that much value for us and we’re not introducing any risk to them so what we pay makes sense for both sides.

Gambling is not TOS violation. Exposing CFs IPs to be blocked would affect ALL customers so CF is naturally aggressively protecting those Running any business that puts CFs IPs at risk is the TOS violation here.

I wish I was the fly on the wall during that meeting, but I have very little doubts casino understood the problem very well and were trying to weasel their way out of paying for an enterprise service (to anyone) and having to use their own IPs which are trivial to block. And if you continue buying more and rotating it will likely quickly get you on the black list with anyone still selling them.

I may be simplifying and maybe casino’s CTO and the entire tech team are a bunch of naive newborns, but I really fucking doubt it.

Well, the way he describes it does sound messed up, but if the only solution CF is willing to accept is for them to bring their own IPs and that is only available with an enterprise plan, what kind of conversation were they expecting? And like I said in another thread, enshitification at CF affected their customer service the most. We went from being able to to speak directly to devs, to people who actually understood the problem, to first tier support that didn’t understand shit to 0 tier support that barely understands English.
