Monkey With A Shell

For those willing to do a bit of CLI work there are even tools to pull your whole library automagically. Just make sure you got the space for it. Sitting at just over 1.5 TB here.

Per household or purchasing body (as in a store or restaurant) I have my doubts. Never in my life have I dumped 3 dozen perfectly edible sandwiches in the trash on any given day.

There are a lot more households than there are stores or restaurants so in aggregate total homes may make for a greater sum, but that’s the same kind of logic they use to say people need to all switch to paper straws and forgo the AC in summer while the rich fly about in personal jets and rockets for a joyride.

Probably the biggest factor compared to something like Tile chips is that it’s embedded into the OS rather than an app. You can turn it off, but you can bet that a letter from the right person can compel Google to turn it back on.

The only one of those I do is for the grocery shop, and frankly I’m not even sure why since it doesn’t do much. They give me a couple bucks off and a gas discount but only at one shop I’m pretty sure inflates the standard price to accommodate it. Never sent an email or a text bugging to come buy anything though and it’s only based on my phone number and could even be an anonymous paper card with no sign up, but no gas discount for the card since it uses the phone number to activate that at the pump.

A nickle off a soda is far from the cost to get your app on my phone.

Sounds like no GOG then? If they’re doing DRM free that would seem a natural fit.

I mean, what if you just used it for a handy bit of seasoning when you go out?

Dutch museum colonialism is a context for an art photo sale?

Other than it costing ~$4,000 for a print of an old photo which is kinda how art tends to work, I’m not seeing the problem here?

Huh, odd that they don’t advertise it more then. Probably make the notion of selling it get less of a rep of desperate people needing money and more similar to donating blood as an altruistic thing, so you get more involved.

Wonder if they could save some time and not put the rest back, just give it to a zoo to feed vampire bats or something… 🤔

I’ve only donated a few times but from what I recall you can donate blood or sell plasma. Always struck me as weird but the difference is that they use the whole blood medically while the plasma only is used for research or commercial purposes. We do love to make a market for near everything possible here.

As for how much, not sure exactly since I haven’t done so myself but I get the impression it’s not huge, maybe $20-$50 each time.

Could just get a personal size boat to get accustomed to the feel of it. Be aware of the boom when you turn with the wind (jibe if I recall the term) lest you get whacked out the boat.

Just what would the point of that be? Are folks really that concerned about some high score where they feel a need to engage in reciprocal voting?

And with a major portion of US military aid grants coming with the condition that the purchased equipment come from US contractors you can argue which funding bucket it came from, but in all practicality Israel bought US systems with aid money granted from the US and then where willing to give the old systems they intended to decommission to someone the US is aiming to support.

It really is just US aid to Ukraine with an Israeli sticker on it in that sense.

Israel wants to get some gold star for agreeing to send systems the US provided to Ukraine now? What kind of PR lunacy is going on here.

Depends on the place. If someone is in a public facing role I’d expect it to be a bit more comprehensive.

Eat beaver and thine sin shall be forgiven, pretty sure that’s what she said…

Disney used to do that a lot, ‘get it now before it goes back into the vault’ in some effort to make it special/get-it-while-you-can.

Having everything available all the time would leave them with little to put on a pedestal as a coming soon limited time thing. Just one person’s theory though.
