Sounds like the ghost kitchens that were popular during COVID. Iirc places like Applebee’s would create branding for a new business (cosmic wings in Applebee’s case) and just sell Applebee’s products via door dash under that new ‘exotic’ name.

One solution would be to prohibit short term rentals for housing (airbnb etc), and funnel the tourists into hotels, to increase housing stock.

Pla is poly lactic acid, so it breaks down into lactic acid and then further into water and CO2 with heat and bacteria exposure.

They were mostly ruled illegal last week, but stay in place until the supreme Court can hear an appeal

Planes don’t have to maintain the sky, but trains need to maintain the rails.

Essentially any costs that can be externalized & paid by the public with air travel have been, like maintaining airports, etc.

Was this an accident, or were the in-laws involved?

That work is already done by computers (the cash registers at the local store). For what you’re are suggesting, the added workload would very much be manual human work to physically change the price tags on every item whenever the local, county, or state tax rates change.

you’d print the labels at the store wouldn’t you?

No.

At least the large corporations I’ve worked at, no.

Price updates were printed at HQ or local distro center and shipped with the weekly shipment. Sale stickers and new isles/planograms too.

Those items you mentioned are taxes at the state or federal level so there are only 51 different tax rates to keep track of. Sales tax can vary from city to city as some municipalities have an additional sales tax.

Lol he went full sovcit

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.

Couple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards

Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.

matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

It’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.

If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.

If you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.

A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.

If that were the case, they’d be increasing the retirement age for everyone, not just people under 55.

If they’re short on funds for the people about to retire, it means those people haven’t contributed enough to fund their own retirement.

Don’t forget the 3rd camp of military industrial complexists, just in it to make money bombing whoever wherever

Fwiw, pi zeros have USB host & device/gadget modes, but I doubt a zero would have enough power to do what you need

He’s on float plane. I think he’s trying to make a living, so I’d assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor

Spent $4000 on a plumbing repair because the previous owner flushed a bunch of wipes. The plumbers removed about 15 pounds of shitty wipes and then replaced the pipe.
