Yeah. My instant thought was “get the loan from Microsoft”

Thousands!? Shit. That’s like all of them!
Nothing proprietary. It’s just not easy to find a cord that doesn’t have the big bump that will be in your way for a ground.
That’s what’s extra stupid. Damned thing isn’t even US owned. It’s a private company from Belgium.
While all the wafer dies made come from this mine, it can be synthesized. This won’t end high end production, even if it were destroyed completely.
You mean pound?
Damned wasps. I over-filled a propane tank last week because of wasps.
I’m paranoid about losing my wallet and other daily carry stuff, so I haven’t. Been carrying stuff for like 30 years. Never lost a wallet, cell phone,pocket knife, or keys. Couple close calls.
Yeah, but you aren’t proper if you’re using more than one piece of punctuation at the end of your sentence. Them’s the rules.
Unless…
60k active users isn’t enough, really. 500k would be a great spot to be in, though.
I know a few people with foldables. They enjoy them, but I don’t really have a need.
Dang. I had kind of hoped this had been increasing a bit over the months.
Oh, shit. Ummm…it was a funny movie back when it came out, but I haven’t seen it in like 25 years so who knows how bad it seems now. Could still be good?
Well duh. I think a lot of us here learned that lesson from watching the movie Multiplicity.
A ton of things that come by sea doesn’t matter much on time. Think about steel and vehicles and raw goods and all the other stuff that isn’t direct to consumer. A month or so isn’t a big deal in many cases.
The problem is that if my math checks out and what is written in the article is true, then this sail boats capacity is less than 1/4 of a single percent of the bigger fuel powered ships. You’d have to make and sail another 500 just to equal the capacity of 1 normal cargo ship.
" (The capacity of the ship, however, is much smaller than the largest modern container ships, which can hold more than 20,000 shipping containers; Anemos can carry around 1,000 tons of cargo on pallets.)"
Thanks for the crap comparison. Why would you use two different descriptions of cargo capacity that most readers could only vaguely compare?
I looked it up, and for the benefit of everyone else: it seems a fully loaded shipping container can weigh over 30 tons.
In other words, the sailboat can carry about 30 shipping containers worth of cargo. This is a lot less than I initially would have thought. A whole lot less. If the big fossil fuel cargo ships can do 20,000 loaded containers, that would mean the sailboat can only do what could practically be a rounding error. 0.15%
Yes, but no one dies if they get pushed back 2 weeks. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are first on the chopping block.
And again, it’s supply and demand. The hospitals want the profit. They don’t want to pay any overhead for the product.
Blood is just as bad, but yes, the markup is insane in the US, compared to the machinery and time to collect plasma.
Blood, for instance gets sold by the red cross to hospitals for around $215 per unit. Hospitals in turn will charge anywhere from $580 to $3,000 for it.
Also, most blood is used for elective surgeries that are not life critical. Any time you hear about their being a blood shortage that could effect what hospitals can give, what they actually mean is that there’s plenty for emergency and necessary use, but they may have to postpone elective and cosmetic surgeries.
Obviously, the issue would be solved easily by paying people enough to be worth it to donate. People would be lining up if they got something like $100 to donate a pint. Something that only takes about 30 minutes to do.
You can, but it’s a lot of number crunching time to convert a bunch of files like that, as opposed to just using a different player.
Liquid cooling has become more needed because processors and gpu’s have become outrageous power hogs. Desktops needing 1,000 watt psu’s is just outrageous.
