Here’s a nice quote from The Communist Manifesto:

What are the common wages of labour, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen…

We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate… Masters, too, sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour even below this rate. These are always conducted with the utmost silence and secrecy, till the moment of execution, and when the workmen yield, as they sometimes do, without resistance, though severely felt by them, they are never heard of by other people…

A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.

Ah shit, never mind. This was from Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations

I’m also in the Midwest (Indiana) and have the opposite experience.

They might not be perfect homophones but you’re rarely using a full hard T sound. Usually something between a d and t sound.

A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it’ll make them a bit better.

Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

I don’t even get why sugar is added. Tomato sauce is already sweet on its own.

My wife and I like to get a local brand because it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. Each serving (3oz, 85g) is 15 calories.

They’d get the same tax deduction by disposing of the drinks.

Agreed.

Humans can be vegan because we’re omnivores. Meat isn’t the only source we need to get our nutrition. Our bodies are fantastic at pulling nutrients from different food sources.

Cats and dogs are not. They are carnivores. Their bodies cannot adequately process the nutrition from non-meat sources.

Humans can also take supplements for whatever nutrients we’re missing. It’s much harder to get an animal to take them, especially when you’re looking at how many would be required on a vegan diet.

Finally, ask any vet what foods to avoid and they will tell you that you don’t want to ever give your animal those small-batch/boutique foods. They are almost never nutritionally complete since they’re designed to appear appealing to the humans, not the animals. They also often aren’t produced in a clean food-safe environment.

I’m all for American versions of things, but please get these staples of British cuisine right.

Kind of ironic this is where you’re making a stand.

The first known use of the recipe for pig in a blanket, the American cuisine, was in 1940 by the US military.

The first known use of the recipe for pigs in blankets, the British cuisine, was in 1957 and was inspired by British soldiers who tried the American version during WWII.

My TV came with a five year warranty - two year manufacturer, two years Costco, and one year from my Costco credit card.

My washer and dryer got seven. Same deal, but Costco was offering an extra extended warranty plan for free.

The best part is that they design their warranties to run consecutively instead of concurrently. Unfortunately, Citi got rid of the extended warranty with the Costco credit cards about a year and a half ago.

That’s every binary, though. False are everything that’s not true. Ones are everything that’s not zero.

God cloned Adam to make Eve, thus we all are the same gender. Wake up sheeple!

No, that’s just quantum gender mechanics.

Indiana waiting for Texas and Florida to ban it so it can do something more extreme but without any flak.

#2 and 3 don’t actually happen since it can’t be recorded on the P&L.

The donation would get recorded to cash and offset to a liability account, probably something named Charitable Donations Payable likely with a subaccount for the specific programs.

Overall, the effect is essentially the same, though. Fwiw, I like to use the same comparison as you did to show to people how dumb this belief is.

The individual who donated at the register also is allowed to claim the donation when they file their taxes.

I knew Google started ignoring double quotes for required text years ago, but I found out yesterday that it doesn’t even think “site:xyz.com” needs to be followed.

I was researching something and saw some Reddit posts. Clicked below it to view results from Reddit and a third of them were other websites.

Alright, let’s get out the burning stakes.

Should be every single one that supports IPv6.

If the slide has all the information, then it’s a poor slide deck.

The slides are supposed to be an outline. The rule of thumb is max seven lines and max seven words per line.

Here’s a couple examples.

Good slide:

• Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
• Industry trends
• Low demand for new products
• Strong demand for XYZ

Also good slide, depending on who you’re presenting to:

• Revenue: -10% vs Estimate
• Industry: -3%
• New products: -30%
• XYZ: +4%

Bad slide:

• Revenue is 10% below estimate
• Industry has seen a 3% drop in sales
• New products ABC and MNO have had a 30% lower demand than we expected
• Product XYZ has higher demand than anticipated with sales 4% higher than estimate

All the extra information on the bad slide can be delivered by the presenter. It’s not necessary on the slide. The slide is for people to glance at to assist them during and after the presentation and to help them anchor themselves in the discussion.

Oh, the software is actually called SANE. I thought you were just making clear how bad Brother’s drivers were.

Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying “just hardcore the IP bro”

It’s more like setting a static IP. The UUID is set when you create the partition and won’t change unless you force it to change.

You can also use any of the GUI utilities which can add it to your fstab.

There’s a lot of things that are made way too difficult on Linux for seemingly no reason. This isn’t one of them.
