This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.

This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.

If you want to print pictures to hang on your wall, ink printers print much better color quality.

If you want flat graphics to print on a document, laser is better.

Just depends on what your use case is.

Stumpy Nubs likes the Woodcraft hand planes, and they’re about 30% less than the lie-nielsen/leevalley ones, still a lot of money, but they’re also a lot less work to set up than a used one.

I personally got a couple old Stanleys and cleaned them up, but it took quite a bit of effort. Wasn’t particularly difficult in terms of skill, but it wasn’t just a 20 minute job either. Depending on what you get there’s a lot of cleaning, adjusting, sharpening, etc. And getting it on eBay means you’re never going to be 100% sure what you’re in for.

It’s fine doing it that way, but you need to be aware of what you’re getting into. Sometimes if you have the $ to spend on a hobby, it’s worth the cost to get a tool and finish the project.

A lot of training that you have to pay a lot of money to get, then more on the job training that you get paid (relative) peanuts for.

A lot of other countries have better support for people during these training periods, so the US equivalent takes on a lot more debt and a lot more risk to attain these higher salaries.

If the barriers to entry in the medical field were lower, the salaries would be as well.

Depends on what you mean by “own”

You can build a building as tall as you want, up to the limit of local codes. So you can’t build a 3 mile tall building, no matter how well engineered, because it won’t pass local zoning laws. Nobody can build a building that overhangs your property, because they’d interfere with your personal property, and it wouldn’t pass local zoning laws.

You can’t interfere with airplanes flying overhead, because that’s an issue with the rights of the government to allow passage and commerce through “your” airspace.

It gets tricky with people flying balloons, kites, or drones through your property, but typically several hundred feet over any structures are considered shared airspace.

Of course if they’re flying a drone over your backyard to photograph you in places that would be considered private, that would be a violation of completely different statutes.

That’s fair, weird means it’s going to have a smaller audience. Even people who aren’t into mainstream stuff might not like that particular brand of different.

I hope you’re right. Just seeing a sharp increase in hate speech on here, and I’m worried it’s going to be tricky to manage.

Hard disagree there. I really liked the movie. It didn’t try too hard, and felt like a parody of a parody in all the best ways.

Paywalled article.

A few years ago 1 Ruble = 0.015 USD this was pretty consistent for a while. Now 1 Ruble = 0.010 USD this has fluctuated pretty wildly.

The fluctuation is far more important than the actual number. Nobody cares if 1 Ruble = $1 or $1000 as long as you can rely on it to be that next week and next year. But the fact that you have no idea how far down (or up) it will go means that people aren’t going to want to rely on holding any currency in Russia.

That ONLY assumes that everyone is perfectly aware enough to not cause the line to extend out of the allotted area, AND nobody misses the fact that the front of the line moved far enough that they never cause a pause at the front. Assuming everyone has the ability to do this means that there shouldn’t have been a line in the first place. (and nobody has their face in their phone, like the person in the picture)

Problem is that “unless the situation doesn’t allow it” means you have to constantly be aware of how the situation is evolving, so you’re trading “move your bag a couple extra times” for “stay hyper aware of the environment and ensure you’re not starting a chain reaction of assholery” cause that can happen real quick at an airport.

She’s not on trial, there’s no punishment for judgement. We are discussing that the situation that is being caused is non-optimal for society and you should tend to move forward with the line at a comfortable pace.

There’s very little upside for leaving that giant gap, and quite a bit of downside if you don’t pay perfect attention to the full situation in front and behind (which you aren’t doing if you’re staring at your phone…)

It doesn’t make it better, large gaps in the line extend the amount of space the line needs in the facility. During busy hours that would extend the line far out into areas needed for other things.

It’s only the same thing for the person leaving the gap, due to the fact that there’s ropes preventing people from getting between the person standing there and the person in front of them.

Also, if the gap gets big enough that the time spent gathering up your luggage and moving to the front of the line causes delays, those delays will add up during busy times.

It’s a game of chicken at that point, and if everyone acted like that, it would significantly increase wait times.

It can be more complicated than that depending on exactly what the breakdown is for senate and the house.

Historically, if a senator is from a swing state, they’ll need to compromise a little more than one from a more uniformly political state. So if it’s a very close senate split, there wouldn’t be so much deadlock.

If the Senate had 60+ from the opposing party though, then basically they can stop everything. They would have a supermajority and wouldn’t need to worry about filibustering, and moderate senators could still vote against the party line safely for questionable votes.

Then there are situations where upcoming elections can change voting strategy.

Really, the question is extremely point in time and can’t be answered on a general sense. Just compare the end of Obama’s term to the end of Clinton or Trump to see how different splits and political climate can have wildly different outcomes.

Doesn’t exactly answer your question, but the folks over at Donut bought a cheap truck from China and had to deal with the logistics of getting something shipped over. I think it’d give you at least a high level idea of how to coordinate getting things put in a shipping container and getting it sent over, and then receiving it.

It’s interesting seeing someone coordinate all of this, and how expensive it gets

You missed the “for circumstances like this” part. There were certainly other uses of the draft for other circumstances that are looked at poorly.

WWI and WWII didn’t have a direct US invasion, and we’re also looked at positively, but is out of the scope of the discussion.

Just be careful after updating qBittorrent, sometimes the update resets the network binding and you have to go in and fix it.

Probably missed a checkbox to keep settings or something, but it’s better to confirm after upgrading, then miss a change and have your torrent run in the open.

“Got my money’s worth”

Seriously, why do people bend over backwards to justify getting shafted by companies. The game was active and still running, they yanked it to try to make more money off OW2. They could have left it running and just stopped making new content for it, but they were greedy.

Unless they’re paying you to go around posting support, you are a sucker trying to justify getting shafted by corpo greed.

Thanks! It was a fun project!

I tried it out, the tutorial works at least.
