Yea, I go out of my way to Microcenter, passing several Best Buys.

Why would they question bugs?

I get like 10 seconds for both my cats.

I agree to some extent. They’re grossly overpriced. But I don’t see many shoebox options. All the layouts feel oversized and not efficient. Including the few studios. Hell a lot places have 2 parking spots for most units because of zoning laws.

I think American developers don’t like to go small unless they’re absolutely forced to.

What? All the new American apartments I’ve seen are luxury and full of nice amenities. Which I think is a problem because none of it is affordable. Even older apartments get renovated and the rent shoots up. I would love to see some practical and efficient apartments.

This is Denver so your region my differ. From what I gather new bare bones apartments only exist in extreme cost of living areas like Sanfran or NYC.

No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)

But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn’t even require much processing power since there’s no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.

I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

Pretty sure this is false in most countries. You are required to disclose purchases and declare values, even for personal use. If they hit a certain thresholds, you’ll have to pay a tax.

Now I’m sure most people just ignore this, because practically they don’t know which items you carried with you and which you purchased. But it isn’t legal.

No longer drive but yes.

The drivers around me, including those in front, might not realize it’s a turn only lane. It also shows them that I know it’s a turning lane and shows my intent.

Sure, ideally, unless they’re doing something more sophisticated. VW passed emission tests by detecting they were being tested.

We are viewing it as a POV of inside a meme. But from the duck’s POV they’re reading an incorrect POV meme because the “you’re” is intended for the duck, not us.

Yep, Dutch with manufacturing in Taiwan. So not super relevant to this thread.

System 76 is US based including keyboard manufacturing. They’re a small company that gives a lot back to the open source community.

You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

You have to do research and pay a premium. But you’re way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

There’s a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.

I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn’t stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

You can go higher that 4k@60 but youll be using chroma subsampling. Which can make text look really bad.

This is the correct answer. Using my 6900XT, I can’t run a 4k120hz display over HDMI without subsampling.

This hopefully will change with the new AMD GPUs, but that’s wishful thinking.

I was being slightly hypobolic. Because yes there are strawberries under 2000 as well. Even 800 yen is high compared to the states.

Japan also washes them. Just not all.
