Thousands of New Millionaires Are About to Eat San Francisco Alive
SAN FRANCISCO — Big wealth doesn’t come in monthly paychecks. It comes when a start-up goes public, transforming hypothetical money into extremely real money. This year — with Uber, Lyft, Slack, Postmates, Pinterest and Airbnb all hoping to enter the public markets — there’s going to be a lot of it in the Bay Area.
Estimates of Uber’s value on the market have been as high as $120 billion. Airbnb was most recently valued at $31 billion, with Lyft and Pinterest around $15 billion and $12 billion. It’s anyone’s guess what prices these companies actually will command once they go public, but even conservative estimates predict hundreds of billions of dollars will flood into town in the next year, creating thousands of new millionaires. It’s hard to imagine more money in San Francisco, but the city’s residents now need to start trying.
Welcomed finally into the elite caste who can afford to live comfortably in the Bay Area, the fleet of new millionaires are already itching to claim what has been promised all these years.
They want cars. They want to open new restaurants. They want to throw bigger parties. And they want houses.
“Even if just half the I.P.O.s happen, there’s going to be ten thousand millionaires overnight,” said Herman Chan, a real estate agent with Sotheby’s. “People are like, ‘I’m not going to sell till next year, because there are going to be bajillionaries everywhere left and right.’”
Just read an article though (I'll have to find it later) about how restaurants are closing because they can't get in service industry to fill the spots given how far out they gotta live. So good luck with "They want to open new restaurants" lol.

Article I mentioned before on restaurant employees
San Francisco is so expensive that waiters can no longer afford to live in the city, and it's changing the way restaurants are serving food and hiring workers
Michelin recently released its 2019 San Francisco Guide — and awarded the city more stars than it's ever had before, including eight restaurants with the coveted three-star status.
But there's a grimmer reality behind these numbers: Many restaurants in the city can no longer attract or maintain enough talent to keep operations running as they have been.
Largely, that's because the San Francisco housing market is so expensive that it's driving people out in droves. In fact, as Business Insider's Melia Robinson reported, the city is so expensive — the median home sale price is $1.6 million — that 60% of tech workers say they can't afford homes.
The news bodes even worse for many workers in the service industry. Despite a citywide wage hike implemented on July 1, 2018, that raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, rent continues to be unaffordable for many. And it means that restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, once common sources of employment for people in the Bay Area, are struggling to hire enough staff to keep operations running.
As The Guardian reported, the effect this is having on the restaurant industry is twofold: Restaurants are either closing down, or they are changing how they serve their customers.

By Random Ass Username Go To Postwhat are your parents trying to do? I just never had this problem by telling them not to click random shit.short version: trying to fuck up my weekend, pretty much
long version: moms busted up the screen protection and hinge, had to replace it with a new one and needed to disassemble the computer, did that for a couple of hours, turned it back on and the computer was rebuilding the disc drive for reasons, so I left it there for about 10 mins and randomly my step dad decided that he need to organize the living room table so he pulled the plug because... whatever the fuck? he's a moron, I'm assuming is the reason
so now I've been trying to figure out how to try to save anything she had on there
but I couldn't
so here's a fresh install of windows, it even removes all the spyware shit that facebook gives you people for clicking random links and playing games
By rvy Go To Postshort version: trying to fuck up my weekend, pretty muchThere is an option in W10 to make it so your parents can only install apps from the Windows store. That will hopefully limit the amount of spyware they put on their computer.

"i ordered from this place and my sushi arrived warm!"

You get people who bought said product and answer a question with something like "Sorry I haven't tried that function out yet, so I can't answer".
Why are they even fucking bothering?
Product reviews really blow my mind sometimes especially when the product specifically says to wash something a certain way and someone bitches about how something or other like it coming apart, dye bleeding on other things. Also I'm convinced some people set every drying cycle on the highest temp and wonder why shit melts or shrinks.

You watch that short clip on twitter and you realize why all of those scenes were so awesome. Real life explosions and crashes can't be emulated and the mix of real life effects and post processing really complimented each other. Definitely just hit my re-watch soon list lol

Explosions and crashes are probably the easiest to CGI.
Plus there are dozens of crashes and explosions in fury road that are 100% cg.

My contention is that the real life explosions and crashes had more impact, not that they're impossible to do. I can see how my wording wasn't clear. I mean sure ... explosions can be CG, but when movies move to heavily into CG, the movie becomes more stale IMO (think star wars prequels). Similar to the GC blood effects you see in some modern action flick. Doesn't look as good as the oldschool exploding blood packs IMO.
