Sure, that happens in the short term. But it also incentivizes the biggest polluters to reduce polluting as there is now a cost associated with polluting. Maybe a competitor is able to come in with a greener process and thereby undercut the competition. This is like, capitalism 101. It boggles my mind that people can argue that a carbon tax doesn’t work.
Also… News flash: the world is fucked and the cost of everything is going to rise no matter what. It’s time to get uncomfortable
That’s why you get a big fat rebate in your chequing account every 3 months. It’s meant to offset the rising costs of goods such that end consumers who don’t pollute a ton themselves are in fact not carrying the burden.
I think we’re about 8ft? I’ve heard there’s no minimum really. Basically you don’t want to have to physically turn your head to see either side… But beyond that the closer you are the better you see the picture.
Aiui the distance thing was more back in the day where if you sat too close you’d notice pixels. But with modern resolutions that’s not a problem anymore.
If you’re patient and can go over budget, an OLED might not be totally out of reach. I snagged a 77” OLED for ~1600 USD earlier this summer (refurb from third party reseller). You might be able to find one close to your budget if you drop down the size a bit.

I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.
That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.
You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it’s just a lot more expensive.
I dunno… Anytime my kids see these pouches at a store, they beg us for them. We’ve never bought them at home either. I think kids just like the novelty of drinking out of a bag.
Agreed! The most promising standard is called matter. Vote with your wallet!
Soon we’ll be able to remove peoples clothes in real time. Truly the future we all aspired to.
You do if third party clients aren’t possible? You have control over what client the receiving end is using.
But apparently third party clients are possible, so it’s moot.
Of course, I fully agree! My point was just that you can eliminate the risk of poorly implemented cryptography at the endpoints. Obviously there’s a thousand and one other ways things could go wrong. But we do the best we can with security.
Anyway apparently third party clients are allowed after all? So it’s a moot point.
Excellent point! If I’m sending someone information that could get me killed if it were intercepted by the state, I’d sure as hell want some guarantees about how the other side is handling my data. Disallowing third party clients gives me at least one such guarantee.
Sounds like maybe your work place is understaffed tbh. I recognise I’m saying this from a position of privilege, but that sounds like the company’s problem. Not yours.
Though as others have said, the law doesn’t prevent you from working overtime if you want to. I hope the pay is worth it at least.
Rabbit and Steel - Cross between a bullet hell and roguelite with raid style gameplay. Requires very close co-ordination with your team to survive (up to 4 player co-op). Punishing but rewarding.
To be fair, I also put most of the hot dogs I buy across the street in the fridge too.
Aww, lay off Jonathan. He’s a pioneer for gay rights, which is much more than can be said for any of you lot.
Due to his advanced age, Jonathan spends his days doing almost everything with his mate, including eating, sleeping and mating… The sex of Frederica, … his companion since 1991, was cast into doubt in 2017 when island veterinarian Catherine Man indicated that due to a deformity of its plastron its sex could not be verified,[4] and is now known to be male, being renamed Frederik.
Yes I understand. It works spelled that way. But “no pun intended” doesn’t work because there was no pun in the initial setup. In my version both meanings make sense
I always thought that joke needs an actual pun in the first half so the “no pun intended” has a valid double meaning. I came up with:
I told the sad ghost ten puns to raise its spirits. No pun intendid.
If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s the greed of corporations. That means they will try to cut costs every means possible in order to maximise profit. If going green saves them a dime, they will do it. This isn’t a hard concept to understand.
Will they reduce prices rather than pocket the change? Probably not… But y’all are acting like the carbon tax is meant to reduce prices??? It’s meant to save the fucking planet.
