They do have light and medium roasts, too. I’m not saying their coffee is great, but it’s not all burnt either.

What do you think a subscription is? Or do you really think people are going to go back to buying physical papers?

That’s a super smart strategy. It reduces the amount of thinking required and speeds up your ability to answer.

Here’s a really interesting article on how it was discovered that citrus would help. They were also able to preserve citrus and citrus juice with alcohol. They could also turn it into a concentrated syrup without too much loss of vitamin C.

From what I just read, they didn’t do this, but dried citrus, when dried at a cool temperature, retains the majority of its vitamin C.

The people doing this understand the consequences and see the as goals.

I don’t really disagree with you. It’s dumb to go out of your way to block an OS that probably works just fine.

That said, the answer is probably “lawyers” and an attempt to limit liability. People rely on the course materials to work. If they don’t want to out the effort into testing to ensure that their software works on Linux, even if it would probably be fine, they may want to limit the possibility of being sued by someone when it somehow screws up their semester.

So, they out up a soft barrier that says “this may not work right” but let you use it anyway. They have deniability if something goes wrong while the savvy Linux user probably just laughs and changes their user agent.

Essentially, no one is hurt and the lawyers are happy.

I also assume that kids shoes don’t last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.

I like to think this is the case. I’d prefer to think it was the customer who screwed this up rather than the contractor.

Huh, as a cis man, I didn’t know this was a thing.

Thank you for asking this. I’ve been wondering the same question for quite a while but have been too lazy to actually find the answer.

I don’t say any of this to say that I think what Walmart is doing here is ethical, onky to say that it is logical from their standpoint if they assume there won’t be any blowback.

Companies charge what they think they can get for a product. The tax is part of the price. If they think an item will sell for $5.26 including tax, it is reasonable for them to think it will still sell for $5.26 if the item isn’t taxed.

That isn’t to say this is nice on their part, but the current system doesn’t incentivise them to be nice. It incentivises profit.

It does seem like they took the easy route to gain more profit. It is likely that, in the a absence of tax, their profit would be maximized by a price that is somewhere between the old pre-tax price and the old post-tax price.

Do you have recommendations for tutorials on this?

For raster imagery (and probably vector) I recommend imagemagick.

What you said and your statement that “it’s a bit like grief” are dead on. I wasn’t kicked out by my parents, but I lost my dad when I was 27. I’m 40 now and still miss him but the feeling dwindles with time. I’ll always miss him but the impact of that feeling will always lessen as I gain more experiences. I suppose the same is true for any trauma of a similar magnitude. I imagine there are traumas that surpass the loss of parents in magnitude, though, and some of those may not pass in the same way.

Honestly we need to get rid of the $1 bill generally but that’s a completely different post all together.

What do you replace them with? Coins have been tried and rejected by consumers a few times now.

They currently live in the US. So, whether they properly answered your prompt seems to depend on your definition of “your country”.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Thank you, I’ll look into options.

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

How does the archive.org exemption work? When is it voted on next?

Unless you are salaried. Being salaried normally comes with flexibility but gives no guarantees for breaks and number of hours worked.
