Why are fast food places charging premium prices for slowed down food with cheaper ingredients? If I'm gonna spend over $10 or over 10 minutes at a place you bet your ass it isn't gonna be a fast food joint. It's gonna be a place with real ingredients and an atmosphere that isn't overflowing toilets.

If someone studies Van Gogh and reproduces images, they're still not making Van Gogh - they're making their art inspired by Van Gogh. It still has their quirks and qualms and history behind the brush making it unique. If a computer studies Van Gogh and reproduces those images, it's reproducing Van Gogh. It has no quirks or qualms or history. It's just making Van Gogh as if Van Gogh was making Van Gogh.

I like how the only way to protect yourself is to freeze your credit but also the private websites to freeze your credit that also leak your data like a drippy faucet won't let you create an account to freeze your credit.

I've always wanted Antiviral to be real!

As someone who used to be a daily fast food eater, I'm just proud that these greedy fast food chains have forever lost me as a customer. Ethics aside, after not eating at these places for so long, I now get to compare the experience to the local places around me or my own cooking skills. The only way I'd ever go back to one of these fast food joints I used to frequent daily is if they provide a better value than myself or the local restaurants here. And the local quick service places here give you a ton of good food instantly for under $10, which I know McDonalds et al will never reach again.

They are optimized. It's a 5gb plan I guess. It looks like my options, in the comments here, are pay a monthly fee elsewhere and be done with it instead of constantly hitting barriers with my current host's limits.

Perfect! Thank you for the link.

My concerns right now are this is the second time I've had space issues with my hosting service and when something goes wrong, it's easy to diagnose which service is causing it (wordpress or host). Do those concerns sound valid for what you're suggesting?

After seeing Dr. Strange and not understanding the entire movie engine because I don't have Disney+ I stopped watching MCU movies. I'd love to go see this movie now that I know it's out but why spend time and money watching actors in front of a green screen doing things I don't understand because I didn't watch multiple TV shows?

 

I have a Wordpress site and recently ran into the problem of having too many images for my hosting services. But my job involves photography, so I was wondering where a good starting point would be to set up a physical server in my home to host all my photos for my website on Wordpress. Is that possible? I don't know where to begin with searching either.

It's a good thing food costs haven't increased before this was announced! Where's the dollar menu again?

If they're meant for students than you wouldn't be mad if they were closed during the day would you? Since that's when students are in school and all.

It's a good thing we weren't automating anything before this! Nothing at all. Companies DEFINITELY weren't researching and implementing automation until right now when the minimum wage increased. And they DEFINITELY will start hiring more people if the wages go down again.
