Much smarter people will need to work out the details, but I think that closing the capital gains loophole would be a good start. Basically, if a person wants to leverage their stocks to take out a loan, then they get taxed on that amount. We can have a minimum amount before it kicks in such as a million dollars to allow small business loans and other things to still occur.

I understand we can't tax peoples unrealized assets, but it's bullshit that unrealized assets can then also be used to gain real monetary value.

I don't think gamers are crying about disks specifically. They want to be able to own their games and have them available for the long term. However companies like Sony and Nintendo have shown that they will eventually shut down e-stores or revoke licenses.

Digital media is far more convenient, and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to transfer your licenses and keep your purchases long term, especially when paying the same price as physical.

The article does not cover how he fell. I was just up there last Sunday and they have plexiglass to make sure you don't go over. Also the comments section was brutal, don't know what I expected.

This sounds neat but I am frustrated that it didn't cover the mechanism by which organic waste helps with de-icing. Is it a chemical reaction? Or something to do with the fibers? Even WSUs article doesn't really explain it.https://news.wsu.edu/news/2019/12/02/sustaining-roads-grape-agricultural-waste/

1st, do not power the fan from the pi if possible to avoid any underpower headaches. It should be fine.

Your best bet is to just power it at 5v using a standard USB wall wart and a sacrificial USB cable (old 2.0 ones work best). Strip the USB cable and expose the positive and negative wires and hook them up to the positive and negative fan pins (identify these using a 4pin fan header diagram). You can either try just shoving the tips of the USB cable into the fan header using electrical tape as a quick bodge, or cut and strip the fan cables and twist them together.

I dual booted fedora kde 2 months ago with an AMD GPU and it has worked just as well as windows 11. There were some initial setup options I had to enable for proprietary drivers, but aside from that it has been solid. A few glitches here and there, but about the same as windows 11. I also went into this committing to not use the terminal, and so far I have been successful.

To answer your question, yes that PSU looks like it should work. I'm not sure I would use this PSU for my NAS due to the quality of the manufacturer being unknown, but generally it should be fine so long as it is not mission critical.

Also if you have access to a 3d printer, there are some great designs for external drive cages to keep them safe and cool.

You just stick the magnetic backing to the existing glass plate for flatness and rigidity. You might have to bump the heated temp 1 or 2 degrees to compensate for the additional thickness, and you may lose a couple of mm/s of print speed at the high end due to the additional weight. That said, it is a very cheap and easy to execute option.

That's what they are saying. Buy a PEI plate with a magnetic backing, remove the rest of the abs from your glass build plate and stick the magnetic pad on it. Then the pei goes on top.

I did this as an upgrade to my own printer.

Every spring there are fewer bugs in our garden, and walking around we see signs on half our neighbors lawns warning about pesticide application. It's ridiculous that on top of the agricultural pesticide use, we even allow residential use... FOR GRASS.

The pollinator garden is coming along nicely though in our yard, and it is one of the busier ones in our area which is nice.
