Sir, this is not Boeing.

Sounds like they could hire more well paid unionized labor to help with the backlog and make bank.

Inflation is a symptom of the lack of some real resource. There are many parts of the economies of many countries where there's unused production capacity which simply "turns more natural resources into more stuff" if more money enters that part of the economy, without producing inflation. It's not "just spend more", it's "spend as much as you can on things that you want done, which aren't limited by real resources."

I found Randall Wray's lectures on the topic to be eye-opening. If what I wrote sounds strange, and it might, I highly recommend watching some of them. There are a few recordings on YouTube.

Most countries have unlimited finances. They only have limited real resources like labor, concrete, copper, glass, etc. The fact that we still don't understand this and behave as if the metadata of the economy accurately describes reality puts artificial brakes on the solutions of many problems, climate being one of them.

This road were going down, it doesn't look good. Putting the content into a black box that rarely links the original source, let alone other sources is worse than Facebook content previews.

Taiwan-made Giant ebikes (and others) just got more competitive.

In 2, there's generally no difference whether they go under or not. If they had anything valuable when they went under, it's absorbed by a competitor. Machines, labor, etc.

More ad impressions.

I was being sarcastic but yeah. 😁

Strange stuff. It would be interesting if the USW calls a strike vote over this. It would also be interesting to see how the members vote.

I don't have a better source than NatPo. If anyone's aware of a better one, post it.

Have some new old stock SATA drives vomiting at you?

Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!

I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.

Coffee Addicts have their DF64 Gen 2 for CAD $420 at the moment. Still in-stock at the time of writing. I was considering a DF54 but at this price I couldn't not jump on the 64.

E: Seems like many other distributors have the discount now.

It's a known bug from upstream mutter. A fix is being worked on and there's a PPA with the updated packages by the Ubuntu developer working on the fix. It resolved the problem on my end.

These aren't the USB-A to USB-C adapters I was looking for. 😂
