Naive, perhaps, but if a company advertises a service, they better fucking deliver on that service. Sure, I wouldn't store all of my important documents solely on a cloud service either, but let's not victim blame the guy here who paid for a service and was not given that service. Google's Enterprise plan promised unlimited data; whether that's 10 GB or 200 TB, that's not for us nor Google to judge. Unlimited means unlimited. And in an article linked in the OP, even customer service seemed to assure them that it was indeed unlimited, with no cap. And then pulled the rug.

And on top of that, according to the article, Google emailed them saying their account would be in "read-only" mode, as in, they could download the files but not upload any. Which is fine enough-- until Google contacted them saying they were using too much space and their files would all be deleted. Space that, again, was originally unlimited.

Judge the guy all you want, but don't blame him. Fuck Google, full stop.

As a little nitpick, "extreme pressure" is partially true. We do need "extreme" pressure; not extremely high pressure, but extremely low pressure. We have these series of pumps that are able to remove more and more particles at each step. We have your standard pumps that get rid of most gases, then we have turbomolecular pumps that blow away a lot of the matter that remains, and then we have things like ion pumps, which electrocutes molecules in a vacuum and sucks them out using electric fields. This way, we're able to create better vacuums here on Earth better than Space itself.

And honestly, that's pretty much wizardry to me.

I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an "abstract study" even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?

This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don't even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

I mostly use c:geo, which shows caches that a free Geocache account on the official app won't, except Premium-only caches, which are designated by the cache owner. (That is to say, the official Geocache app won't show free accounts caches above a certain difficulty/terrain, but you can find them online, and there's no way at all for a free account to find premium-only caches.)

I'm sure most of you already knew that though. For those of you who currently pay for premium or have paid in the past, did you think it is/was worth it? $40 USD a year doesn't seem like that much, but I'm mostly against all kinds of subscription models across the board. I've been told that a majority of caches are Premium-only, but I have no way to determine if there are a significant number of Premium-only caches around me, so I can't make any informed decisions in that regard.

So, what are your thoughts? Worth buying, or worth sticking to a free account?

Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they've been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can't forget about their amazing mod support.

And redigit is just, like, the man.

A very wrong proof once showed that the sum of all positive integers (1 + 2 + 3 + 4...) was -1/12. In reality, the infinite sum has no solution, so this proof became something of a meme.

Honestly, you just know this is someone with actual grammar skills pretending to write all broken-English like, it hits that creepy vibe right on the head. Like it's not obviously fake like some people who write crazy off the walls shit as bait; this gives off just the right amount of a lack of self-awareness that gives it an air of legitimacy. 10/10, props to OP.

Description: A freebooting Twitter account (very likely without permission) posts a screenshot of a TikTok with no credit and gets millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes. The creators of the original video respond, and get next to no views. (And currently have 6 likes on the tweet.)

As a side note, go watch Almost Friday TV, their videos are hilarious and incredibly well directed: https://youtu.be/Y5HInrono_o

If they didn't like metal, why did they get into the car in the first place? The entire chassis is made of metal, they shoulda got back into their wooden cars!

The only users in that thread who seem supportive of this change and are berating "the other redditors throwing a fit" for whatever reason, and I count three of them, seem to all:

  1. Have accounts 1-3 months old

  2. Not have participated in /r/diving before this thread

Very interesting.
