I don't work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it's not like remote meeting will go away

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I've been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn't happen though and I've since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

I'm pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you're right, it's absolutely not screenshots. It's a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it's possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That's not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

Between my current job (unlimited PTO) and my last (30 days PTO) I've had 30+ for the last 10 years.

Last year I used 35+ days.

A lot of it goes to smaller things. 1 or 2 days here and there. Few days camping, turn a 3 day weekend in to a 4 day, etc... It really can change how you use your time.

My cat is like this. He FREAKS OUT when you're in the shower. It's super annoying.

$5.30 for a deluxe, $2.80 for fries.

Dick's and a taco truck in the same area ($2.50/taco) are my go to cheap but delicious lunch options.

Combining calorie counting with intermittent fasting helped me lose 50+ lbs with relative ease. To support intermittent fasting I cut out evening snacks and breakfast, which gave me the 16:8 ratio (eating only from noon to 8 PM).

The calorie counting helps set me up for future success as well since I now have a much better idea of what is healthy and what isn't.

I've played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There's really nothing else quite like it.

My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

That said... it's definitely not ideal, and it's generally relegated to similar games like you're talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

Seriously. I bought new jeans two weeks ago. I went to multiple different stores. My choices were skinny jeans, a different brand of skinny jeans, or a different brand with a different style of skinny jeans.
