Windows: I refuse to shut down because of a, b , c

Me: But I already clos. . .

Windows: No you didnt't, stop lying!

Me : Well, I pressed the X and the window dissappeared.

Windows: Lol, noob. Did you never even heard of a task managers?

Sounds impressive in theory, but I've actually seen it; it's this weird guy from the '80s singing about quitting cigarettes or something.

Does not live up to the hype.

Most money is not really created by central banks. It's created by private banks when they make loans. They literally add a number to their assets, and to the borrowers liabilities - and the borrower can now go spend that new money.

Central banks are supposed to try to regulate bank lending to try to stop the pyramid spiining out of control.

Governments also take out loans though (by selling bills, gilts, bonds) - so they are also involved in money creation process, that money typically goes to pay public services and public servants.

But the majority of money creation is typically private loans - and much of that goes ino property price bubbles , which does indeed benefit the rich.

It says it right in her title, "Dr". Sounds like an open and shut case - pro-vaxer, poisoning and gayifying american children with 5G microchips, and very probably cutting men's dicks off so they can go into the women's toilet to rape people.

Hmmn. If I wanted search results for stuff in Amsterdam, I'd expect to add "in Amst . . ."

Moving quickly on, there's bound to be some European SearXNG. https://searx.space/ seems like a list.

I think that still uses google though among others. It's FOSS so you could self host it and set it up how you like I think too if you're into that type of thing.

I don't regularly use searXNG though I use DDG - so I cannot vouch for the quality of the results.

No bother.

Yes planing does take a bit of experience - not as much as you'd think though to start getting decent results. It mainly has to be sharpened regularly and set up right and you need to know how to adjust the cut depth.

There are lots of youtubes on sharpening and setup if you want to get into that. I watch Paul Sellers mostly, there's plenty of others though.

And certainly practice on a few different wood types, before using a hand plane (or any new tool) on anything you've already put time into.

I can't see any problem with sanding. I don't see why you need to clamp though and risk introducing a bend while you sand. I'd glue or tape a sheet of sandpaper, larger than the workpiece to a hard flat surface and rub the piece on it.

Except thst I woudn't because I'd use a hand plane, No real benefit, but I prefer a planed finish, I enjoy planing more , and, plane shavings are way cooler and harder to inhale than sanding dust.

Unfoortunately, it says prices (presumably domestic) dropped though - that should be good for US consumers, all else equal.

I'd expect the people in Montana to have more/cheaper food in general at least in the short term. Farmers might make less profits, but even if they are making a short term loss - you'd expect them switch to a lower cost crop rather than stop production entirely.

In this case it is the Canadians that suffer lower food supply.

In the long run Montana food supply might suffer if their farmers struggle to get say fertiliser, pesticides, seed crops, bull semen, tractors and so on - that depends on their supply chain for those things.

Lower income might also impact the state's general ability to import other stuff, exotic foods and luxuries, but as far as domestic food is concerned I'd think they'd be ok.

Downvoted. For betrayal of dog commmunity.

My upstairs neighbour a few years ago had a similar thing going down into our back garden. She called it the catwalk.

If such an awful thing ever happpened to me in my personal life I'd change my needs.

In work of course I'm fucked, by stupidity rather than needs of course, but at least that's only for 37.5 hours a week.

Randal: Hockey's hockey. At least we got to play. Dante: Twelve minutes is hardly a game. Jesus, it's hardly even a warm-up. Randal: Bitch, bitch, bitch. You want something to drink? Dante: Yeah. Gatorade. Randal: Hey, what happened to all the Gatorade? Dante: Exactly! They drank it all!

"GPP, what's that?"

"It says 'Genuine People Personalities'."

"Sounds ghastly"

Yes exactly, "Policing activity" will happen one way or another. It's the regulation, transparency, accountability that is used to weed out bad cops that is needed to make it beneficial to society.

Norwegians and Icelanders need to stop showing off all their hydro and low population density.

Most countires won't be able to scale up their electricity generation by like 20-50% or so (to accomodate a large switch of transportation energy) without burning a lot more fossil fuel. Or building many large nuclear plants. Or damming up and flooding several large valleys. Fossil fuel is still the cheapest fastest and easiest way to scale up electricity generation - and ramping up the duty cycle of existing power stations is the easiest in the short term.

Maybe if each EV came with enough additional solar and batteries to offset their electricity consumption (especially at peak). This'd increase the costs a fair bit but it'd make them much better for net greenhouse gas emissions.

Note that even in an era of fairly rapidly increasing renewables - from 1980s to now - the overall share of renewables in global electricity generation has not increased much, 25-30% ish last time I looked.

This is because new demand has always come along to offset the new renewable electricity generation. This will continue with electrification of transport, heating, plus all this ai and server farms and stuff, add in general population growth and economic development - I don't believe the world is going to be able to grow renewables anywhere near fast enough to keep up with all that. Not without some cold fusion type technology leap.

Tariffs don't "work" or "not work" it's not a binary outcome. Just as measuring "the economy" is pretty much impossible, so is attributing economic outcomes to one single feature of the regulatory environment, They interact with the rest of the economic environment and some variety or work, production, trade, investment and distribution will occur. Over time all aspects of the system will change, adapt and react. Most changes have winners and losers and they can be counted or balanced off differently.

It it were paired with bank regulation and asset ownership regulation and a coherent industrial strategy, maybe also forex controls, maybe some counter cyclical macroeconomic policy (extremely unpopular these days) the outcomes would likely be quite different from a low regulation free for "all". "All" is probably "a few with relatively unconstrained access to enough capital or credit to hoover up assets of the losers".

But then a smaller subset of those things might also change the outcomes on their own. Either way it would be a matter of time and adaptation of a complex system.

It also depends what you think the objective is before you understand "success" or "failure", the goals might well be social as much as economic. If the objective is trash the small scale asset ownig middle classes and enrich the elites economically then it might be working already.

Don't be so sure, did you see the quote fom next UK prime minister.

A total cunt admitted he would allow American chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of a free trade deal with the US.

That graph is YTD, not 12M. It's lower than it was in Jan 2025. But not Nov 2024.

TBH both of these graphs are short term, if this is a very hyped stock it's hard to say what is overvaluation or undervaluation or overcorrection, or how big or prolonged any "overshooting" might be. See where it is this time next year maybe.
