Specifically voting yes on that question.

You may have seen many restaurants putting out signs saying to vote no. That was done by management and front of house staff because they don’t want to pay their employees at the minimum wage and they don’t want to share their tips with back of the house staff (who also deserve the tips as much as FOH).

2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.

It’s a bad headline, means negative for the day.

Although commodity futures can go negative in unusual situations. During the pandemic, oil prices went negative because demand was low and production was still high, so the cost of storing it was driving the price down. The fact that it went negative was mostly due to speculators though.

You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,… ??? I forgot the rest but it’s fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.

They were very careful in how they worded the request. They are not asking for people to change their voting behavior, only to create a plan, and to make some public statements.

Obviously, the latter part is fine but the voting plan doesn’t require that someone actually change their behavior. They are definitely skirting the line, but I’m sure they had the help of a lawyer when they made this.

I think this is why they usually go after the people distributing the data for copywriter infringement, and not the people who use the data.

It may not be stealing, but it definitely is copywriter infringement.

I think all of your points were covered in the video, sometimes almost verbatim.

Going into debt is how they “print” money. Those are the same thing. Having debt isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, but creating too much money can increase inflation. If not handled carefully it would collapse the economy as you elide over.

Market cap doesn’t say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it’s a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.

There was 22 years between the first air date of that 70s show (98) and the year it was set in (76).

There was a 28 year difference for that 90s show. I never watched that 90s show, but I’m guessing the reason for its limited success has more to do with the quality and the nature of the current streaming environment than the setting.

Was this just a plug for the service you’re trying to sell?

The post seems like a blatantly obvious sales pitch.

The question is moot from both sides of the deal, but understanding why is important.

For something like a game, you will only ever pay approximately what you think a game is “worth”. How you determine that value is entirely up to you and should be based on your own opinions and beliefs. Therefore, if you derive value from supporting niche developers, that’s great for you and you should continue to do so as you wish. If you don’t value that quite as much, then wait for a sale price that does.

Your individual decisions will not affect the decisions of publishers and developers.

Their decisions will take into account the total profit that they think a game can provide over its lifetime. This is determined by the initial price and sales as well as future discount prices and sales. The way they estimate the potential profit of a new project is based on past data. If they see most of their sales at launch time, they will price the game accordingly. If they see more revenue over time from sales, then they will price the game accordingly. As long as they continue to hit those goals, then they will continue making products for those audiences.

Therefore, the best way to support the projects you like is to buy the game when the price justifies the value to you. That is buy it whenever you want. The only way to not support (I am purposefully avoiding the word hurt) the publisher and developer is to pirate the games.

They usually aren’t used to remove a bulk of the material. That is done with a chisel usually. They are very good at cleaning up the last surface and sneaking up on a perfect fit.

This joint would only be strong if the load was applied along long axis, but doesn’t really offer any additional strength over just two flat surfaces in that direction.

In the direction perpendicular to the wide face, the joint is weak due to the direction of the grain in the short pieces. It would be a little stronger than a butt joint, but mostly due to the increased glue surface.

In the last direction, perpendicular to the narrow faces, the joint is nearly the same as a butt joint except it has more glue surface.

If you did want to join two boards with grain in these orientations (and assuming the two short pieces were longer in the direction perpendicular to the bench), then a mortise and tennon or half lap join would be recommended. You can use the router to cut both sides of the half lap, and it could cut the tennon. Without a router table with a good fence, I wouldn’t recommend using it to cut a deep mortise.

Thanks, for reference, that’s not a hand router. Hand routers are not electric. Look up stanley 71 for a common example.

What you have is standard electric router. There are also compact electric routers (sometimes called trim routers).

The cuts all look fine, but I’m wondering if you want feedback on the joint you made.

Can you link a picture of what your hand router looks like?

Being serious for a moment, do you want feedback or am I just clearly missing the joke?

No, because he was no longer the chancellor when he was fired from his position as a professor.

He had 2 jobs, chancellor and professor. He was previously fired from the role of chancellor. He has now been fired from his role as professor.
