They get the service fees for the original sale, and any subsequent ridiculously priced resale made on the platform
Holy echo chamber

Hello, fellow On-X owner!

I understand the bummer that warfarin can be. I have two pieces of advice.

1. Don’t diet the dose, dose the diet. In other words, don’t try to adjust what and how you eat to fit the mg of warfarin you are taking every week.

2. I believe a large percentage of what you hear regarding warfarin is ridiculously overblown and I almost never place limits on what I do because of some fear of a bleeding event (within reason, of course.)

The fact that it requires discipline and is “difficult” is also, in part, what makes it so beneficial.

If you have a PHP application and have found that Ruby allowed you to scale or vice versa, it probably just means the skill level of the dev decision makers improved. There are a lot of gotchas and pot holes one can find themselves stumbling into that you really only have to start caring about once you are actually at the point where scale matters.
Re:50% of new NPM packages are spam on Thursday March 30, 2023 @09:53AM (#35372728)
I’ve noticed quite a jump in PHP composer package spam recently, too. A lot of just ever so slightly renamed popular packages. A couple even had quite a few stars on their repo.
It’s not easy to stalk animals built to spot predators — especially in the terrain where I’ve seen modern persistence hunters.

Many watering hole types of animals also don’t just fall right over after being struck, particularly with a “rudimentary” weapon. Even if you get a decent shot off, you will still most likely be chasing it for quite a while. Not to mention the dangers of what’s hanging around, looking to take what you (hopefully) managed to score.

The odds were not in our favor!

Hunting anything near extinction is very solidly at the last inch of the timeline encompassing the last 60k years.

Re:What if regular exercise is the best cognitive exercise? on Saturday November 12, 2022 @03:01PM (#33576460)
Pretty much everyone I’ve ever met who actually knew how to fight well was very friendly and kind. Traveling and showing up at random MMA or BJJ schools is almost always a fantastic experience.

Subjecting the ego to much needed reality checks makes for some nice folks.

The ad auction model is just so ridiculously profitable. You have companies literally trying to out-spend each other for the same service. It’s insane.

I had the complete opposite experience. The touch pad was odd at first, but I could at least use it from a somewhat respectable distance. I would honestly go back to it if they weren’t ridiculously expensive
