One Punch Man to get into anime comedy.
Going off road here. South Park develops continuity leading into the Stick of Truth game, so season 17 episode 8 onwards I think is when the show hits a new stride.
Regular Show is a great companion to Adventure Time.

Largely because I know if I forget about the pan I don’t have to worry about burning the oil, and if prep-work is taking longer than my estimate I can take the pan off the heat.

Yet major release after major release is a medicore reviews of an unfinished or watered down AAA. It’s like single player only exists to sell a multiplier experience geared towards whaling money out of players for $20 character skins.
I struggle with indie releases. Yes they’re cheaper and when I find a gem it’s amazing, but sifting through countless demo-less duds hasn’t been worth the risk for me. I’ve had a few games that looked homeruns to me from trailers and screens but fall flat once I get actual hands on, and refunding console games is a horrid experience riddled with anti-patterns and strict conditions.
I wonder if it’s better in PC land where steam refunds are a thing.

There’s like the point where annual income balloons rapidly, but the number of people in those categories also drops down radically.
Wouldn’t surprise me if statistically the majority of executives are for companies with less than 10 employees.

Yes they can have multi-million salaries on top of that, these people are very few and in between.
At the executive level you are making decisions constantly and dictating direction to others. It’s entirely delegated work.

I wish there was a path for non-profit publicly owned services to receive government funding so social networks critical to human culture and development didn’t have to cave to the word of advertisers and data miners.

Looking at other articles it doesn’t look like much or any research was done on this subject, bummer.
The machines come with instructions not to run it while people and pets are in the area because it’s dangerous and incredibly stupid. The instructions also say to let the space air out. I think I did a full day when I’ve done it. It wasn’t clear in the article and other places I’ve looked if the area remains contaminated with ozone for days after their use.
Everything else about the article makes sense. It just would have been nice if the core use case of these machines was addressed.

Clean counters everyday and robot vacuum the floors each morning. Try to get to a clean sink each day.
Keep the fridge declutterred as much as possible.
Get rid of carpets if you can, especially if you have pets.
Ozone machine an area if it has an air to it that doesn’t go away. Kind of a one and done deal.
If the kitchen exhaust fan doesn’t vent out of the home that’s going to be a huge contributor to odor.
Don’t cook high temp high smoke foods indoors. Steak is something I hate cooking in the winter for this exact reason.

I haven’t traveled on an extended vacation for years. I had several lay offs and never accrued a significant amount of time off. On top of that, I never accumulated enough money to pay for any meaningful trip beyond a weekend stay.
My routine is fine. But I have nothing but my routine and that makes me overall miserable.

Moogles LinkThere really needs to be a massive financial penalties to companies that conduct mass layoffs. Investors and management should not be getting rewarded for devastating the lives of their employees.There really needs to be a massive financial penalties to companies that conduct mass layoffs. Investors and management should not be getting rewarded for devastating the lives of their employees.
Jail time for executives is honestly the only real deterrent I think that will ever work, but it has to be in combination with monetary punishment that directly impacts investors.
