I don't get how you can think Taxes aren't the answer but removing stocks are. Billionaires exist because they have a lot of money in some form and are able to reinvest that money to get more money. If you remove stocks, they will find another way to have a lot of money, whether that's owning a lot of business, buying up properties etc. Start applying a sort of wealth tax, disallow financial influence in election (putting actual limits on spending), fix the loophole for passing on wealth to children with little to no tax, etc. There really isn't a simple solution, but a wide range of changes that need to be done in my opinion.
may just buy replacements since I don't have a crimper for this cable. Thanks for the info!
How to fix ripped desktop antenna?
I accidentally moved my PC while the antenna cables were caught on something, leading to them ripping. would I be able to just solder the connector bit to the cable?
Removed
Oh no...
... We're going to have to cancel Evan... Jk.
I'm glad you mentioned that, I want aware
That or twine, whichever you have on hand.
It's so bad for me sometimes. Somebody actually commented to a other poster saying I'm probably drunk commenting and thats why I make no sense. Nope just sober and not as responsible as I should be in reviewing my comments lol.
Fixed, thank you. Typing on my phone degrades the quality of my writing significantly.
I will say, that would be a good sign for the movie.
I will await for your review lol.
I'll wait for reviews to come out before deciding if I want to watch this. So long after the first was released, feels like a cash grab.
I see it now FML. Editing my comment.
Seems you missed the point, it's first three letters of the month, not one. Edit: seems I missed the joke on the post.
Is It just me, or is this a very badly written article? I read it twice and it makes no sense to me. I understand the article is trying to day fix say fox news it's trying to be manipulative, but it's not clear in what way based on what is written. No context is provided. They mention the time the call takes, in Newsom's and Trump's local times like that helps when we don't know when the fox segment airs, nor when Trump's claim of calling newsom.
Feel like they're ignoring the fact that these massive protests are a sign of contention and the point is to not devolve into complete violence. We do need to make it harder for him to convince others that we are not unruly people, but people protesting actual grievances.
i would describe the action as kinda a time sink i guess. Hateful 8 is a movie that i think is somewhat similar to Sinners in the sense there's an intense build up and action at the end. What felt better at the end of that movie is that the action was just a way to resolve things and was therefore quick and to the point. In sinners, it felt like it dragged on, while not being all that interesting to watch. I was more excited to see what would be the result of the action, who dies and who lives etc.
I think the weakest part of the movie was the latter half, everything felt so rush, like they wanted to have action scenes, but didn't have time to make it very interesting. Aside from that, the movie was very fun and unique. The music was absolutely amazing.
I kinda feel the issues happening in the US will be resolved soonish. And by resolved I mean, either the US will fall apart, and add you said will continue to be unreliable, or trumpisn will be defeated
The issue I have is that, even though it's qwerty, some buttons are different. I have a total of 48 keys so some buttons function as 2 buttons (enter and alt, as well as others) as well as a staggered layout. Mainly just slows me down slightly, but If I type either a regular keyboard for a bit, i start to get used to it again.
I haven't actually tested it, but i for sure type worse in a standard keyboard now, but mainly because its so infrequent. I think if i had to work with a standard keyboard, i'd get back in the flow of things easier.
Nice, yeah i never tried typing, i might check it out too. I like Monkey mainly for the UI as well as the stats that they keep track of. I used it mainly because i wanted to prepare for my switch to a split key board (splitkb's kyria) and i wanted to see my tgyping speed vs that of when I'm using the keyboard. I went from about 60wpm to 10 with the new keyboard. Now I'm back to about 50 wpm. goodluck on your journey!
is there a way to differentiate hidden rooms that are gardens vs a regular garden?
I'm playing with challenges so no special plants Spawn in any hidden gardens. If the door is hidden you know it is a hidden garden but I completely forgot if it was originally hidden. So is there a way to differentiate the two? I may have to look into the source code to even figure it out, if no one has an answer.
How are people selling items in the steam marketplace, and for some items, why?
To expand on my title, I see the darkest dungeon announcer and megakill for sale in the marketplace. My understanding is they had to pay for those items directly in order to buy them, and leave the item bundled so as to sell them on the marketplace. Does that mean that people are buying some of these items in the hopes that they can resell them for more later? Or are they somehow able to rebundle items they purchased directly, to sell it for steam creds?
Applying to LA city jobs and need some clarifications
I'm trying to apply to this role: https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/lacity/jobs/4639070-0/programmer-analyst-1431-k-revised-8-28-24
Most of the information appears to be straight forward with applying except for the certification requirements, specifically:
SELECTIVE CERTIFICATION In accordance with Charter Section 1010(b) and Civil Service Rule 5.31, selective certification will be used for some positions that require certifications in one or more of the following areas. Only persons possessing the following at the time of filing may be considered for appointment to fill such positions.
- Certification as a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer, Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer or Microsoft Certified Programmer. proceeds to list 22 other certifications
My confusion is, does that mean I need to have all of those certifications in order to even be considered for the role? Does that mean that my bachelor's degree and experience not help with these certificatio
Stickers. Can you apply multiple to a single hero?
To clarify my question, if I apply 1 sticker to a hero, can I apply another and switch between them? Or does the old one get covered up? How do they interact with your profile? do they also get used up?
Resources for RESTful API Integration practice?
I’m doing interviews for companies that would involve API integrations. I’ve done a couple now where I was given some general API information (some intentionally unclear, some more clear) and I felt I didn’t do well. Mainly I was nervous, and felt very pressured just to understand how the different parts of the APIs interact with each other and should be interacted with. This is despite doing this for work and myself not feeling as nervous doing more common coding tests which I don’t do as much at work(thanks to doing examples on hackerrank, Leetcode helping me feel more comfortable).
So what are the resources I should leverage to practice API integrations? How should I go about practicing? Especially considering that I do need to perform in a certain way during interviews.

Steam stuck on logging in for anyone else?
Having a unique issue where steam is not logging in for me. Its stuck on the logging pop up and stays like that. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm on Ubuntu, it was just working about 10 hours ago. I made and reverted a change thinking that's what caused it but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I had to run steam through terminal using the command: steam -tcp and got it to work.
I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

Where to view recent full professional matches with commentary?
I literally can't find anything. I have no idea where to look. On the dota client, I can only find stream from as recently as... TI3. I can't see any other competitions showing up. I don't see anything on youtube either that ALSO is a full match. NoobfromUA has matches, but they jump around.
So my question is, where do I find streams with commentary? The reason is because ideally they'll go into the reason players are making certain decisions.

This is amazing news. I'm hoping we continue to get more news like this in the comings months and years.

www.theguardian.com ‘We’re in 1938 now’: Putin’s war in Ukraine and lessons from history
Some analysts believe Kyiv is buying the west time on the precipice of a world war. Is it being used wisely?
Interesting article that talks about the similarities between now and 1938, and the sort of lessons we can learn from history.

Volaris website not working for others on linux?
For a while now, I've been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I've tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don't believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux specific (as I doubt Volaris' website has been broken like this for over 2 years now).
The website seems to load some background images, but then it stops loading. I'm basically unable to interact with the website in any way. Sometimes I'll get a captcha to even access the website. The workaround that I have found was actually going into the inspector and refreshing. This make the website function again while the inspector is open.
Any ideas or suggestions?
