When it’s wrapped in plastic it can be individually picked. In a warehouse large quantities of stuff is stored away in bulk, sometimes palletized. A picker goes around and picks out the items from the larger bulk of items to put together a shipping order. If they were individually wrapped, whether by the warehouse or their distributor, it is for general protection(so that it feels new) and ease of handling.

I am so ready for that giant snake that bursts out of a wall of my childhood home while I am wearing a sharp looking suit. Been running that drill since the age of 7.
I miss doing things for the sake of just doing them. I don’t have enough of that in my life.

Hopefully this will either cause another platform to come to challenge them or they lose enough users to cause them to adjust how heavy handed they are against ad blockers. imo, both seem unlikely.
It does feel like astroturf.
They guess.
We leverage our own proprietary data model and will provide estimates of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project – this estimate will cover an invoice for all platforms.

I would say from personal experience it’s nice to have an evening to myself after events. I’ve stayed out late playing shows at bars in my early 20s while working a full time job and it is a godsend to have time that isn’t for sleeping to spend my own way. Again, this is my own personal experience not everyone yearns for that introversion time.
Yes, yes it is. The only deterrent really is the will of the employee to commit fraud and/or a customer noticing. I’ve had to handle coworkers in the past writing in tips on blank tip lines on the reciepts that the customer signed.
