I forgot how remarkably salty the :pubstove: of Payday 2 is.

Whole team down on an escape, 15 seconds left and the host yells at me for hiding on the escape with only secondary ammo instead of charging the enemy masses.

I get kicked with 9 seconds remaining and one other player trying to explain that just me surviving in the escape zone would make us win the mission. But no, the host wants to lose 30 minutes of playtime rewards just because I did not help him up. :allears:

As grocery shoppers work to digest Amazon’s massive acquisition of Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, the digital storefront recently scored a victory that aims to reinforce the company’s growing investments in brick-and-mortar retail.

Amazon was awarded a patent May 30 that could help it choke off a common issue faced by many physical stores: Customers’ use of smartphones to compare prices even as they walk around a shop. The phenomenon, often known as mobile “window shopping,” has contributed to a worrisome decline for traditional retailers.

But Amazon now has the technology to prevent that type of behavior when customers enter any of its physical stores and log onto the WiFi networks there. Titled “Physical Store Online Shopping Control,” Amazon’s patent describes a system that can identify a customer’s Internet traffic and sense when the smartphone user is trying to access a competitor’s website. (Amazon chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos is also the owner of The Washington Post.)

When that happens, Amazon may take one of several actions. It may block access to the competitor’s site, preventing customers from viewing comparable products from rivals. It might redirect the customer to Amazon’s own site or to other, Amazon-approved sites. It might notify an Amazon salesperson to approach the customer. Or it might send the customer’s smartphone a text message, coupon or other information designed to lure the person back into Amazon’s orbit.

note: the patent is garbage and would never hold up in courts, also in store wifi has had the capacity to block any site the retailer wants for a long rear end time

This is north of that. The only thing that could wipe Toronto off the map would be a Stanley Cup win so its safe to assume it will still be intact for your entire lifetime.

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.

quote:

I grew up only knowing New Labour: war, tuition fees and asbos, followed by more of the same from the Tories. Our elders would use the word “Thatcher” loaded like she was the bogeyman, a myth. But we didn’t ever appreciate how bad she was, because until this election, Thatcherism is all we’ve known; our “normal”. The idea that government spending on social welfare can be how society looks after its citizens, rather than shaming them, has never featured in mainstream politics in my lifetime. We’ve been at war with the Middle East since I was 11, so a leader who doesn’t champion bombing people into “freedom” is weirdly refreshing. Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign pushed back against mainstream beliefs that have been presented as the truth all my life, closing the gap between Westminster and the East End.
