Where I live, In Europe, these machines take a 10% commission.

When I have a sizeable amount of coins, I take bags to my local big box store, and use the self checkout. Some registers take cash. I just dump a handful, and top up with bills.

Better yet, Windows IoT enterprise LTSC. Debloated Windows with LTSC

I have bought just a chicken at Costco.

Twice!

Us nerds don’t buy laptops?

I don’t either, but there are many in my family and friends I will gladly support.

Shit. I used Baileys. Is that bad?

Also, metal needles or equivalent can raise contacts and do their damage. I cut the toothpicks with a cutter so that they are wedge shaped.

In Spain you can buy a BYD seagull for around 10.000€, with proper switches and stalks. A Hyundai for about 13.000. A really cool Renault 5 for about 20.000, if you want to buy European.

Granted, these are minis, but they are really adapted to much of Europe.

The cheapest Tesla is about 40.000, and arguably older tech.

Tesla has gone from innovator to legacy.

I have been a Serif user since the early 2000’s and Affinity since V 1

I love the suite, and use it to do pro stuff, mostly typesetting supported by photo and designer.

The fact that Canva is, for the time being making it free, and not forcing AI, and allowing it to be optional, is OK by me. If I need AI for a job, I can pay for a month, pretty cheap for what I’m going to be paid.

I like the situation.

Canva is essentially making migration from Adobe easy and free, to poach users.

Win Win in my opinion

Not perhaps. All quotes have been authoritatively traced to Mark Twain, even this one.

They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.

They are pretty much the best at sea, though.

I routinely see north Africans in my local Lidl buying half a cart of flour packets.

Your diet being mainly refined carbs is not exactly good for being fit.

I get that politicians may get deadlocked, Belgium was almost 2 years without government not long ago.

But why does the US politicians deadlock impact public spending already allotted? Especially long running programs and public employees.

In the civilized world, budgets get extended until politicians manage to change it.

“It’s been an honour to serve our nation, the American people and support and defend the Constitution for over 37 years,” he said.

I read this in Jar Jar Bink’s voice

So infant genital mutilation for religious reasons is cool?
