  Now the ads are 60sec? instead of 2.5min. Right now the time pressure to do your business is the hardest its ever been. Until they increase the ads again.

  I was gonna tell you that it used to have it. But I guess it never did.

  “No time to duck, but I did think this whole sentence. I could have dodged if I thought faster! Wait it still didn’t hit me? Is that thing in slow motion? I think its slower than a bullet. Thats funny, and what kinda name is Batpoon, its so silly. Should I call my strength “super strength”…oh wait, I d- OW I forgot to move!”

  “To preform chest compression place both hand in the center of the subjects chest. Apply a rthymic steady pumping action until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake up seek medical advice, or call 911.”

  “To apply a large bandage, peel back the red pull tab to expose the badage-aid, place wound over the white pad and wrap the wrap firmly around the skin. Finally adiminister 50mg of Goprelto to ease the pain.”

  I suggest you look it up in detail, my memory on the details are not only hazzy, I never looked that deep into it, beyond “well thats shitty, rip Anker”.

  but the TDLR; A few years back Eufy (owned by Anker), they didn’t tell anyone video was stored on the cloud, and then it turned out the live video stream was exposed to the open web. Initial response was lack-luster and Anker didn’t own up to anything.

  Its been a few years, possible things are different. Also possible initial issues were blown out of proportion, and I never heard of the “corrections” no one ever makes.

  It’s in its early days, but consumerrights.wiki has potential to become a very valuable place to check before buying anything. The summery there is much better.

  I’ve been very happy with UGreen as a replacement to Anker, after the Eufy thing. Have not tried a power bank yet, but the charger and cables have held up so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Really need some term limits and total service years. Pick your numbers, something but like 6 for congress, 4 for Governor, 20 max in public office.

  Also their salary is based on their represented area. For a Congress representative, the national average is their base pay. If the area they represent is below average, a 30% of the difference is deducted. If it’s above average, 30% of the difference is added.

  After 1 year, the percentage increases by 10 every year you’re in office.

  So by year 6 if your doing a shit job your pay will be -90% the difference. If the national average is 50k, and your area is at 20k, the difference is 30k, 90% of that is 27K, so your salary is 50k-27k, which is 23K.

  Wow, that is bad. The music one is probably the worst of the examples. The artist name is barely readable most of that clip.

  The notifications are rough too, a big wall of white text against a burry multicolor background is not fun to read.

  TBF, some of the edits are a step above of low-effort. And there’s a bit of creativity involved in coming up with the puns.

  But, yeah they’re all annoying after the 3rd one, but it’ll blow over a week or so. All that will remain are obscure references about Sheeran sharing beans in jeans on a plane.

  Some women want the slimmer pants, yet all the options with pockets are baggy. Yes you need some space for a pocket, but that doesn’t mean the entire entire pant needs to be baggy.

  Men’s slim jeans are available with pockets able to accommodate a larger phone with out issue.

  I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.

  Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states your lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library

  There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.

  But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.
