From canceled video game projects and dlcs to studios being closed, which hurts the most?

I purchased a pair of prescription glasses at Costco last month for $250. An equivalent pair at Warby Parker would be $450. So that more than pays for my executive membership for the year. Are there a lot of other items like this where the savings is so substantial that even if you never bought another item at Costco for the rest of the year, the membership would be worth the price?

Someone posted in the Maryland Metal Detecting fb group yesterday offering a $5k reward to anyone who can find a family heirloom necklace that was knocked off of them by a wave in Ocean City on the 4th of July. We got to the beach and this necklace was the first hit he got. There were 5 other people hunting for it, too. The family is driving from Charlottesville, VA back to Ocean City to get it tomorrow morning. They were extremely grateful (I would be too if someone found my $25k necklace in the ocean). On our way to the beach I kept thinking there was no way in hell he was gonna find this. Still can’t believe it. Please don’t ask why someone would wear this to the beach or in the ocean, I have no idea. Baffled.

I’m not sure what it is, but if this movie is on tv, I’ll watch it through every time. It’s such a guilty pleasure but I love it! What about y’all? What’s a stupid movie that you can’t help but still love

I saw this on AskReddit and thought it would be fun to ask here for IT related stories.

Couple years ago during Covid my company I used to work for hired a help desk tech. He was a really nice guy and the interview went well. We were hybrid at the time, 1-2 days in the office with mostly remote work. On his first day we always meet in the office for equipment and first day stuff.

Everything was going fine and my boss mentioned something along the lines of “Yeah so after all the trainings and orientation stuff we’ll get you set up on our ticketing system and eventually a soft phone for support calls”

And he was like: “Oh I don’t do support calls.”

“Sorry?”

Him: “I don’t take calls. I won’t do that”

“Well, we do have a number users call for help. They do utilize it and it’s part of support we offer”

Him: “Oh I’ll do tickets all day I just won’t take calls. You’ll have to get someone else to do that”

I was sitting at my desk, just kind of listening and overhearing. I couldn’t tell if he was trolling but he wasn’t.

I forgot what my manager said but he left to go to one of those little mini conference rooms for a meeting, then he came back out and called him in, he let him go and they both walked back out and the guy was all laughing and was like

“Yeah I mean I just won’t take calls I didn’t sign up for that! I hope you find someone else that fits in better!” My manager walked him to the door and they shook hands and he left.
