100% of economists think this is colossally stupid.

That probably includes the economists advising Trump that this is a great idea, who will say anything for a paycheck and some delicious power, but even if not, they're a rounding error.

That's the absurdity of post-match interviews in which the winning captain thanks God (which occurs frequently where I live). The opponents prayed equally hard. If you're crediting Jesus with the win, your opponent would have to blame him for their loss.

You're right, but I've seen them give big predators a run for their money, too. The juice often isn't worth the squeeze for a lion.

There are plenty other free online learning resources, too. I'm currently auditing an MITx electronics course via EdX. It's free unless I want a certificate, but a certificate isn't what I'm after. I'm 54. I'm studying for retirement hobbies. So far, I have piano, model ship building, maths and electronics on my list of things to git gud at.

Same here, but after disassembling my cube, polishing the mating faces, and lubricating it with Vaseline, I got a best time of 34 seconds once. I was very lucky with the shuffle, to be fair.

I still have that cube in a box of keepsakes.

Even lions don't fuck with badgers.

Looks like the entire point of the effort was to reduce DIMM height to get clearance for the overhanging CPU cooler, so a huge AC on top of the RAM would probably not fit, either.

Granted, I'd have swopped that CPU air cooler for a 360/420 AIO to solve the RAM clearance problem, which would have left space for the RAM cooler.

This is why Brave has a "copy clean link" option.

Imagine the FPS that's producing. Thousands!

I love the idea in principle, but it's a bit over-decorated, imho.

Perfectly sound reason to raise tariffs against penguins in the Antarctic. I don't understand why people can't see the logic.

My wife used my best chisel to break open a shed door because the key got locked inside.

Could have got a locksmith. Ended up needing a new door and a new chisel.

We need an FAQ in the sidebar, even if it includes only the "new to Linux, what distro" question.

That's why RACK exists: risk-aware consensual kink.

I'd put the commas inside the quotes, and the inner quotes need the opposite quotation mark, so single quotes inside double quotes, or vice versa.

Everything is dangerous to reddit nannies. Lovely collar.

I still have two Hercules cards in my cupboard. 720x350 monochrome goodness.

Windows hiding file extensions by default is a crime against humanity.

When I was a kid, I played it all the time. Drove everyone around me mad. I still like it.

I'd think they'd have to prove it was delivered. In my country, someone always has to sign for deliveries. Porch deliveries are just not a thing. All of them would get stolen here.

Of course there's a 2K. 2K is officially 2048x1080. For PC display purposes, 1920x1080 is close enough. 2560x1440 is not even remotely close to 2K.

See: https://dsplay.tv/site/en/suporte/qual-a-diferenca-entre-resolucoes-hd-full-hd-ultra-hd-2k-4k-8k-10k/

Yes, 1440p is 2.5k. The k nomenclature measures horizontal pixel width. 2k is the wrong term for 1440p.

You seem to harbour a lot of hate.

That "American prick" certainly does contribute to the local economy. They bring in dollars from abroad, and use those dollars to buy housing, transport, food, coffee, appliances, furniture, electronics, entertainment, books and all the other necessities of daily life. They also pay VAT, municipal rates and taxes, fuel tax, and if they stay long enough SARS comes knocking for income tax.

For the local economy, that is pure cream.

I'm sorry you're too poor for a luxury three-bed apartment with a sea view within walking distance from your shitty job, hipster shops and city nightlife, but that's no reason to call people who can afford to live in better areas names, and demand that they get taxed until they either flee or become as poor as you.

I also want a lovely mansion in Bantry Bay, but I live in a modest house outside the city, because that's all I can afford. Being jealous of rich people will only make you unhappy, and it makes no economic sense.

You're assuming an inexhaustible supply of digital nomads who aren't at all price-sensitive.

A larger supply of housing might initially cater for pent-up high-end demand, but as the supply grows can only lead to more affordable housing for locals.

Except it won't all be in Sea Point.

Don't know why you're getting down-voted. That's a perfectly legit question. Rising housing prices should lead to urban development and ex-urban growth.

It's not reasonable for locals to expect affordable rents in areas that are super-attractive to tourists or wealthy locals.

A well-functioning market would create more housing, though without sea-views and further than walking distance from the CBD.

A world in which everyone who wants to gets to live and work in Sea Point is just not a reasonable expectation.
