CGP Grey did a video on this subject a little over a decade ago.

How about a 1% tax for every 100lbs the vehicle weighs.

Trade in value drops very rapidly for non-iphones after a year or two. You can often get 50% back on the purchase by trading in a functional phone.

If you buy a new phone every 2 years or every 4 years, it’s often about the same total out of pocket cost (with a lot of exceptions)

Me too. I’ll go first, and if it works, he can do it as well.

Ordering the military to do something illegal is still illegal. The military has an obligation to not follow illegal orders.

That being said, if nobody enforces it, then it doesn’t matter what is illegal or legal.

Yes, probably. That being said, I see two immediate consequences to this.

Hiring a hitman is illegal, so the president could still be prosecuted for this. Assuming the House/Senate aren’t complete morons, they would impeach and convict the president.

Once the hitman is pardoned, he would lose his 5th amendment protection. If his testimony couldn’t be used to convict him, then the court could compel testimony against anyone involved. Which would make unraveling the conspiracy slightly easier.

At LEAST it’s low orbit so it’ll burn up (relatively) quickly.

Damn, that’s a deep cut.

It’s not a KVM though, which is why it’s only $50. It has no video capability.

Kinda looks like this KVM switch is missing the “V” part.

The Supreme Court of New York is not the highest court.

I’m excited that they continue to innovate and listen to customers. I own two Framework laptops, and I’m thrilled that I can easily upgrade to this version without having to replace the whole thing.

Even better that I can replace parts as they wear out, or as I feel. I love the monitor, so no need to replace it now. If it ever gets damaged though, I can grab the upgraded one without changing anything else. If the battery starts to suck, I can update to a higher Wh one.

Such a great product (so far).

I just started pirating Amazon shows, fuck em if they bait and switch me.

There’s already tons of folks that had “that idea” too early. Those technical innovations don’t just need some rando showing up and saying “hey, we should make a plastic disc that stores music MONEY PLEASE!”

The CD was created in collaboration between several companies, creating a technical standard, and working with the limitations of manufacturing and technology of the time. There’s exactly zero chance you would be able to get a jump on them.

I’d bet $3 that there’s tons of patents from people who had a similar enough idea years before it came out, but they never went anywhere. Sony would just see your patent and carefully design the disc to avoid violating it.

Wonder if there’s a trade off with the faster charging, or if it’s just a side effect of the grid power setup.

Read the article again. Japan has a slower economic growth than the world average.

This is from a number of factors, including that they are a highly developed economy with less head room, BUT also because the workforce is aging out. They have fewer young people.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan

They have a declining population, and the median age is much older than most countries. This is absolutely a major reason for their lack of economic growth.

Immigration, and change the work culture to reduce the amount of time at your job.

Japan needs people, and they’re not having babies.

They need time to socialize, they need time to relax, they need time to just exist outside of a job.

Cause you’re talking about reality. We’re not debating on if a movie was good, or if a sandwich is tasty, you’re literally saying that every single scientist in the whole world is conspiring to trick you into thinking something happened.

This isn’t an opinion, it’s a 100% absolute fact that humans have set foot on the moon.

The number of people who would have to be in on the conspiracy would be astronomical. You are wrong, and you are intentionally spreading misinformation. It would take you less than an afternoon to learn the truth, but you are going out of your way to remain ignorant.

Or, the perfectly mundane truth, which is that it actually happened.

If you sincerely believe what you posted in there, then you’re obviously not looking for the actual truth. You’re just being contrarian for the sake of it.
