    I have a degree in statistics, lol. I had to take so many stats classes on my way through a graduate program in psychology, and already had a ton of CS credits, that I just got a stats degree.

    If that was 160hz or better it would be an instant buy. 120 is pretty iffy.

    I don't think it's anywhere near that easy to make a statistical inference about unknowns, as in, how many people have been hired this month at newer, smaller and likely more agile companies who use a competing software platform. If they know about the needs of those potential client companies...

    The Last of Us

    PS5/Xbox5 native versions of GTA 5 were released in March I think. Cost me 10 dollars or something on PS5.

    I guess it depends what types of businesses are staying on ADP and what types of businesses are moving to Paycom, Workday, etc. It could significantly skew the sample. ADP's customer base appears to be "large employers that have been using ADP for a few decades and haven't bothered to switch...

    ADPs numbers have been all over the place for a while. ADP is losing customers to competitors, Paycom and Workday, particularly, and may have a much smaller visibility to the overall private employer landscape than they used to.

    Historically, the Contact Center business has been fairly recession proof. If companies want to off-shore their call centers, or automate them, or buy more products to micromanage their call center slaves' bathroom breaks harder, we'll sell them whatever they need. If they want to fire their...

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/30/jolts-july-2022.html Any expectation that the labor market is cooling any time soon is completely unfounded. I've gotten 8 job offers this week and it's still fucking Tuesday.

    Saints Row 5

    Every SR game I've played on PC had a ton of fucking bugs, didn't really diminish the game. Most open-world games are pretty fucking buggy.

    3440x1440 is a very low pixel density at 45" widescreen. I'm betting the sheets they're cut from are pretty cheap.

    I watched the RLM video for TLJ, now that I finally got around to watching it, and I agree with everything they said, specifically Rich but also Jay. Rich also liked what they did with Luke. You people act like I'm the fucking devil lol.

    Yeah he comes off as a kid who just wants to build cool things, and doesn't give two shits if he has to destroy western democracy and the minds of children in order to pay for him to build cool things.

    You still haven't explained how making the government smaller/weaker will make what remains less easy to buy off, and also give it the necessary enforcement power to enact a breakup. Regardless, this thread should be Shawed because this appears to be an unfounded rumor that someone(s) used to...

    The D&D thread

    Not really sure how that disagrees with anything I said. Changing how products are marketed changes who buys the product, period. No one admits to themselves that they've been sold, but they have. Adopting a much broader branding and marketing strategy for D&D, MTG, Marvel, etc, has a lot to...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    You know, that's fine with me. The whole point of Star Wars is about finding the good in bad things, and not being defined by what you hate and letting it consume you. Amazing how this is totally lost on the people who consider themselves the biggest, most OG fans of the IP.
