It looks like this subscription may be for their "smart" printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you'd need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.

I think it's for "smart" washing machines that you can control from your phone etc. So that's likely what the "updates" would be related too...why you'd need to control your washing machine from afar is beyond me but some people love smart gadgets and will by anything that connects to their phone.

Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it's blinking like that?

I can't figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits "power tripping power mods" were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren't the problem if multiple were banning you?

As long as the thing they don't like about your face isn't it's color. But seriously American employment laws (in most states) allow for companies to fire people for any non-protected reason (protected reason = gender, race, age, etc). If a co.pany does illegally fire a person it can be a real up hill battle to prove it because at-will is so permissive.

I can't say a firing like this one sits super well with me personally but it's almost certainly legal.

If Fast and Furious has a 29% score then RT isn't a good indicator of movies. They don't keep making those movies because they arent popular. That whole franchise is basically printing money.

PA can be fairly cold expect snow and ice every year. It does snow in Virginia as well but I can tell you it's on average atleast 10 degrees warmer in VA vs PA year round. (Lived in both areas). Virginia is wetter (and far more humid than CA) and has more hills since Appalachia cuts right through a lot of the western part of the state. If you don't like the outdoors I'd suggest eastern Virginia. If you like the outdoors western Virginia is great for outdoor activity (hit or miss on things like high speed internet, research any specific towns your interested in out there.) One thing I will say is that Virginia is NOT blue. But then Scranton is probably considered the beginnings of Pennsyltucky too.

Honestly the customer doesn't even have to dislike the shirt. It's incredible the lack of rights that Americans have in the workplace. Especially when we also have very weak safety nets in place for people who are out of work.

Isn't the appeal of in-n-out the lower price point compared to other fast food burger places, rather than the options or stellar flavor? 5 guys is way more expensive and the customization/taste reflects that.

It think they're mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren't getting what they paid for anymore.

So some Asian cultures do eat jellyfish. Maybe this is a gotcha question or maybe it's just someone coming from a less eurocentric background.
