No doubt fiscal policies put this (and other) councils on the back foot, but it’s reductive to ignore that the thing that tipped them over the edge was bureaucratic incompetence combined with being fucked by the Oracle Corporation.

What are the multiple purposes of this vehicle?

Just looks like a jacked up six seater truck.

The original had to be one of the most underrated (or just undermmarketed?) games of all time.

Absolutely fantastic RPG.

That thumbnail tho 🤤

Would all investments be liquidated rather than just inherited?

Rade0nfighter ,

Is this… unexpected?

Genuine question.

Rade0nfighter ,

I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!

I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.

What’s the plan for hosting?

Rade0nfighter ,

Not sure it helps with /etc/skel (never heard of it before) but this is a cool infographic: whimsical.com/fhs-L6iL5t8kBtCFzAQywZyP4X

Not sure where to get them but this is the app you want to play them: www.audiobookshelf.org

Please tell me this is real

Haven’t played fifa but understand that loot boxes are basically gambling. Arguably worse than gambling because with gambling at least you might win something “real”.

Curious though - there was a screenshot in the article where you could preview a loot box before buying - does that not make it more like “buying” the players instead of “gambling” for them?

Rade0nfighter OP ,

Anyone with an older model know if there’s been a way to add wireless (qi) charging?

Rade0nfighter ,

Very nice!

Rade0nfighter OP ,

I’m out of the loop, care to elaborate?

Only thing I can say is that Carmack’s Wikipedia article reads like he wrote it himself before a job interview…

Not only does high intensity allow him to make progress more quickly, but long hours are also critical to maintaining a focused mindset over time. Despite working such a demanding schedule, he has never experienced burnout.

Rade0nfighter ,

Exactly! It’s more “Help me help you” than anything nefarious.

+1. People often don’t realise they can just try it on a usb stick (and often easily install alongside windows osx)!

The thing with teams is that they had it pretty much nailed ~2 years ago, but decided to keep going.

Rade0nfighter ,

What device are you intending to use, you mention you’re using macos so I’m guessing Apple hardware?

Just thought I’d share my experience with pop on my MacBook in case we can help each other 😂. Basically I was dead set on pop but couldn’t get it to install for the life of me - the installer showed my disk as being a fraction of the size it was, even exfat volumes created by the installer. So I had to shrink other os petitions like crazy so I could trick it into thinking there was enough space.

There was no option to encrypt the disk in the installer and it didn’t play nice when I created my own LUKS container.

After several hours of trying to beat it into submission I ended up using Ubuntu’s legacy installer and was up and running in 15 mins.

So yeah if you are using Apple hardware and get pop playing nice please share any tips :)

Rade0nfighter ,

I have an intel device, not an ARM one.

Though I would love an M2!

+1 for smiling mind

ELI5: How is Amazon able to sell me books so much cheaper than brick and mortar book stores in my area

I like shopping in book stores. There’s something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can’t get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my...

Rade0nfighter ,

At a guess:

  • Volume discount: Amazon will buy a hell of a lot more books than a single mom and pop store
  • Retail rule of thirds: (very loosely) a third of the price you it goes to manufacturing, a third to distribution/logistics, and a third to the retailer. Amazon vertically integrates the second two.
  • Online only: website capacity costs a lot less than running a brick and mortar store
  • Margin: amazon will make less per book but sells more books because people prefer to buy them cheaper. There’s a separate discussion here about anti competitive practices (eg undercutting competition to put them out of business, then raising prices later) but that is a whole other debate
