RealPage can afford to send justices on very nice vacations as a gratuity.

I've seen at least a couple different users with that, but I wouldn't be able to recall their usernames offhand.

The notice really reminds me of the Facebook chain posts where people would post a declaration saying that facebook couldn't use your data/likeness if you share the post text.

If ai companies are unabashed about scraping and training on copywrited material from litigious companies like the nyt, I really don't get how anyone convinces themselves that anything they append to their comments would stop a scraper.

It sounds like maybe what you're actually looking for is a used Lexus. They are toyota drivetrains with luxury bodies.

I see cashiers at aldi open and close lanes after just a little bit all the time. Aldi workers don't just work the register, they manage stock and cleaning as well. So at my aldi there's usually one person on a register but they frequently radio for someone else to come when the line starts to back up. The second person was presumably in the middle of another task, and they don't stick around at all when the backup is cleared. That sometimes means throwing the closed sign on the belt even if someone is approaching the lane.

I personally wouldn't ascribe motive to the cashiers actions, but I wasn't there and don't really have any context.

No, the company is publically listed with around 1 Bil market cap.

My wife worked for a company that was heavily reliant on generating leads from ads. They had lots of real time monitoring of conversion rates to make sure they were actually making more money than they were spending on the ads. They would have to turn ad channels off all the time because the return on ad spend went negative.

So my conclusion is that ads can be somewhat effective for companies, but if they don't actively monitor and control the performance of their ads, they're probably just burning money. A lot of companies seem to advertise because they think that's the only way to grow.

Sssshh don't go telling Nicholas Cage where our national treasures are kept.

That's only true for areas of land that aren't visibly occupied. Entering any building without permission is considered first degree trespassing in my state, and I don't think that's a unique definition. Traversing the land near a dwelling is considered second degree trespass.

Connect for lemmy allows instance blocking. I don't see any posts from hexbear and their comments show as hidden unless I tap to show the contents.

I use lactose free whole milk, maple syrup, a generous amount of cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of nutmeg.

My wife likes to go really heavy on the cinnamon and adds some cayenne pepper for more of a mexican chocolate style drink.

Delicuous indeed.

Cocoa does contain some caffeine, so people with no tolerance at all might not be able to enjoy it, but it's something like 10% the amount that's in coffee.

Try making a rich hot cocoa with a raw cocoa. Cocoa contains theobromine which can give a somewhat similar surge of energy as caffeine, but I find it less harsh.
