I’m not sure how else it would hold together

It seems like he is just puffing out his chest to hide his belly. Probably because he knew he was on camera.

There doesn’t even need to be any kind of cap, they just need to pay more taxes and be prohibited from buying politicians.

I’ve been waiting for a sale to buy it… hopefully there are still players but if not shrug

I use Slack for personal projects and Teams for work. I think both are fine. The main reason it made sense to use Teams at work was because there were a number of products in use by different teams. IT had Slack and the rest had Zoom. Zoom was raising their costs and we already had Teams as part of 0365. So it was either buy Slack licenses for the entire company or just get everyone on Teams. It was kind of a no-brainer and it was hard to come up with a convincing argument to pay for Slack for everyone other than “Microsoft bad”.

I haven’t seen an AWD EV more affordable than the M3 yet, and the last I checked the nearest supercharging station is only for Teslas.

For me NOT buying from a scummy car dealership is also part of my criteria.

So it looks like it’s basically a choice between Tesla and Rivian for me and there’s a big price difference.

Would be interested to check out some other options though.

In addition, the company doesn’t invest in growing and retaining the rest of the development team for 20 years until said developer is near retirement, then finds that they need to hire 10 developers because 2 need to replace said person and 8 need to redo everything they did.

It’s been nearly 10 years since you needed to develop with C# on Windows.

New versions of .NET have been cross platform with a free IDE since 2016.

I find it’s easier to explain this to people as “Southern conservatives used to vote Democrat, now they vote Republican”.

Bought it for Xbox One and was disappointed, never got into it. Last year got a new gaming PC and picked it up on sale and playing it in 4k on high and the graphics are sick and now that I’ve figured out the combat I like it a lot. There’s lots to love about the game, but the story just isn’t great, doesn’t really suck me in that much.

I don’t regret the $20 I spent on Dyson Sphere Program, spent more time enjoying that than I have playing most of my library of supposedly “finished” games.

If those people could read they’d be very upset.

There are some better ways to address this than what this post is advocating.

For example, why should a corporation buying a residential property be getting the same (or better) interest rate than an individual who intends to buy it and live in it?

Why should that corporation be able to deduct expenses that an individual could not if they were living there?

There are ways to give the individuals a leg up over the corporations in the market without something drastic like this that has no chance of happening.

20v to house DeWalt!

Just curious… In what way did Ross Perot come close to winning? I see that he got 8% of the popular vote in 1996 but I’m not seeing that he ever got an electoral vote.

If your goal is to have a third option to vote for, the best way to help is to support independent candidates on the right as well. If the fascist vote is split (say between Trump and Liz Cheney) then a vote for (Cornell West for example) is less likely to be a vote for fascism.

The immediate response to the war would probably have been the same, but another 4 years of Trump would have meant more time to inflame tensions in the region even worse with actions such as:

1. Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem
2. Withdrawal from the Iran deal
3. Assassination of Iranian generals

Etc

People should really stop conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. Unfortunately it’s very common and even part of the official classifications used by some countries. To me it seems obvious that this is another attempt to cut off any criticism of the state of Israel by labeling critics as anti-Semitic. Here’s an interesting read about how flawed that logic is:

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/07/debunking-myth-that-anti-zionism-is-antisemitic

The idea that discussing Zionism is a sign of an anti-semite is a shit take. The Zionist movement worked very hard to establish a colony in the middle east, in an area where they knew there were already natives and those natives were hostile to being colonized. It’s impossible to truly study the founding of Israel without learning about the Zionist movement.

This isn’t about religion, or even very much about race. It’s about the powerful asserting their will over the powerless. To some extent you could argue that the Zionists were used by the British to screw over the Arabs, but that doesn’t make the Zionists innocent.

Equating discussions of Zionism with anti-Semitism is part of the Israeli propaganda playbook for dismissing all criticism of Israel’s founding.

The cover is related to the story, but I believe this cover was also used for a three book anthology which included other stories in addition to “Say Cheese and Die”. The main character acquires a camera that either predicts the future or causes bad things to happen… he takes this picture of his family at a BBQ and then die in a car accident or something.
