  • Imagine spending a thousand dollar right now on technology that has two standards not compatible and who knows if it is going to even work just so you could consume one type of media in the privacy of your home. Which media would be worth this great expense and risk?

  • I can see why you would want to keep invitations paper. Gives you a little bit of distance from the other parents. My kid comes home with one and I get to decide if this is something we are going to do instead of someone I really don't know just getting my contact information and sending me an unsolicited invitation.

    Would you feel comfortable with people just handing out your email address or phone number with the intent to push you into some social obligation?

  • OEMs. The documentation for every factory machine my company builds included a 3-ring binder of the entire system documentation as well as a print out of the schematics. Go ahead and try to convince a factory owner that paid us a quarter of a million not to include a 2 dollar manual.

    Also I will sometimes print out complicated schematics and let my intern mark it up with pen. Sometimes you catch mistakes by changing your perspective.

  • Ok business idea

    You buy the printer. The printer is made out of wood and metal. If you hit it with a hammer your hammer will break. It communicates only over Ethernet. Uses the default driver of the most popular desktop OSes. If you call support a surly man yells at you and tells you that this isn't fucking EAgames, you buy it you own it our business is concluded. You put whatever ink you want in it via a syringe. Your grandkids can inherit it when you die and it will still work. When it breaks you get out a screwdriver and pliers to fix it. The manual warning for electrical shock hazard is "if you are too dumb to fix it you deserve getting electrocuted. Please hire someone who can be trust with scissors to open this".

  • It smelled really bad btw. The incense could not hide the smell of food rotting in a place that is basically an outdoor sauna.

    Odd enough I am not sure that is the weirdest horrible religious thing I have seen in that part of the world.

  • I think a part of it comes from who Biden is. When I voted for Biden I hoped for three things

    1. Clown show to be over
    2. Small problems in government getting fixed
    3. At least one big improvement.

    So far he has given us two. His administration has been quitely making things run better in government and doing it in such a way as to not attract attention. You can't really expect the news to dedicate a segment to pension reform when they have been at the all you can eat fest of blood in the water and -gates of 2016-2020. Even now Google news in private browsing mode shows me more results about the two frontrunners of the GOP nomination (16 months before the election) then it does of the man literally in the White House.

    It's a bit sad that he doesn't have the best odds of winning relection, mostly because of the total lack of showmanship. I wanted a dedicated civil servant and I got one, but only for 4 years.

  • More people are retiring than are replacing them in the work force for one thing.

    I find it more useful to solve problems vs trying to solve secondary effects. If the workforce of the USPS is not expanding then pay the remaining workers more. If you take the same percentage out of their pay you should be able to balance out the retirees. Why shouldn't it be that way? If a worker today can get ten times as much done as a worker of some point in the past then pay that worker ten times as more.

    Now you don't have to worry about government money empires that lead to the crazy market conditions that caused the 08 crash.
