I got a microphone connected via a XLR adapter to the rear mic jack of my mainboard.

Basically as the title says. A local gas station chain has released a new app. They give you a one time $10 off your purchase of any purchase over $10 promo coupon....
It doesn’t apply to the same order. Coupons are off your next order. Coupon comes after transaction completion. Nemo is right.
Spend 10 to get 10 (you spend 10)
Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)
Spend 10 get 10 (you spent 10)
Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)
Spend 10 get 10 (you spent 10)
Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)
= You spent $30 for $60 worth of gas.
So it’s basically a half off coupon however many times you manage to use it. 3 times if you bought $10 (not sure why 11) you would have gotten $60 gas and spent $30.

Das Behämmerte ist, dass Schuldenabbau und das Reißen der Schuldenbremse kein Widerspruch sind. Bei 5% Inflation und einer Schuldenuote von 67% sinken die Schulden effektiv um 3,4 Prozentpunkte pro Jahr, selbst wenn kein Euro zurückgezahlt wird. Die 0,3 Prozent Neuversschuldung, die die Schuldenbremse erlaubt sind also ca. ein Zehntel dessen, was man effektiv machen könnte.
Wenn wir Wirtschaftswachstum hätten, könnte man noch sehr viel mehr Schulden aufnehmen, ohne dass es ein Problme wäre.

You should be easily able to add a banner using the magazine CSS. Though that's not being federated currently, I hope magazine CSS federation gets added in the future at least between kbin/mbin instances.
This should give you a banner above the threads section:
main > header {
/* Change both of these */
height: 100px;
background-image: url(https://i.imgur.com/zWuVa7U.png);
}
While this should give you one that also extends over the sidebar:
Changing the #middle to #header would put it above the kbin header (with the logo, the threads/microblog buttons, etc).
Community Engagement
There is an Active People section in the sidebar.
I think the issue here is that kbin simply doesn't have a lot of users yet.
One of the reasons I believe for that is also because the platform feels very stale or dead in plain sight.
This won't improve if you show people "0 people are viewing this thread" on every thread. Actually, it would worsen the impression that the site is dead.
Which, as said elsewhere, is still a 1-in-400 chance. A commercial pilot lands a plane thousands of times in his life. 1d20 with a 1d20 confirm would mean no pilot ever survived to retirement.
And one could argue a commercial pilot has a fairly average skill level, the equivalent of a level 0 character with a ~4 points of proficiency (D&D3 mindset, I know I’m old). Someone who is 5 or 6 times that should have no meaningful risk of crashing a plane (and the plane should have no meaningful risk of dangerously malfunctioning 0.25% of the time)

Nee ich meine schon das was ich geschrieben habe. Wenn du dir 100€ zu 0,5% p.A. leihen kannst, um etwas zu kaufen. Dann hast du ein Jahr später für eine Sache, die 102€ wert ist, nur 100,50€ bezahlt.
Yeah after some quick googling it looks like I’m wrong. I’m quite sure that’s what I was taught in school though, so blame my teacher !
Basically I was taught that Hindus invented the 0 for base-10 numerals, but didn’t actually use it for maths (e.g 0*x = 0), whereas Arab mathematicians did.
Valve pays 0 dollars for publishers to be exclusive to Steam.
Being on Steam has always been a benefit to publishers. Even in 2004, people wanted on the platform because it’s the platform that Half-Life 2 launched. That is a built-in install base that will have advertising right in their face about your game. Valve pays 0 dollars because Valve doesn’t have to pay money, they already have other ways of paying.
I never said any of them are any better, just because it’s industry standard doesn’t make it good. If you pay publishers to release games exclusively on your platform and you are not actively funding development you are anti-competitive in my eyes. (Also Stadia doesn’t exist anymore)
EA partnered with Valve to bring EA games to Steam. (techspot.com/…/82538-ea-confirms-rumors-partnersh…) This was a direct agreement made with Steam. Not only has money changed hands but Valve has adjusted their revenue rates to get people to release on their platform because of this. Steam has built-in exclusivity clauses. You can release on other platforms but you can’t price your game differently on other platforms. Additionally, if you have a store page on Steam, you must release it on Steam at the same time or sooner than everyone else. Valve does anti-competitive stuff like this all of the time. People just make excuses or accept it but this is Valve driving away competition.
Most of the time they try to snatch up games that are already finished or were already planning to release on Steam/GOG. Sometimes they even pull games from other stores (Rocket League and Fall Guys) after they released or just before they release (Metro). That’s not the practices of someone who wants to compete but someone who wants to get into the market by force without actively doing anything good for the industry.
You should look up where most of the Valve games come from. Counter-Strike, Dota 2, L4D, Portal, Team Fortress, etc were all game studios bought up and told they’d only get to make games for Valve. Remember In the Valley of Gods? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Santo_(company) Valve bought the team under the promise they’d continue making a game and just put the dev team on Half-Life: Alyx. I’d say Valve is almost worse because they don’t make publishing deals, they’ll buy and adsorb you into their collective.
IDK, it depends on the game for me. I can forgive mediocre gameplay if the story is really good.
For example, I got a bit bored with the fighting in Yakuza 0, so once I finished most of the side content, the story kept me engaged. I remember pushing through the last few segments to get to the cutscenes.
But Zelda games aren’t that, I play them for the gameplay, not the story.
The Presidency is one person, with increasingly too much power.
Unions have been exploding in popularity, various local elections have been swinging farther left than the standard democrat playbook.
The people are not voting democrat because they are content with them, they’re voting democrat because there is not another viable option.
It needs to start local and grow. We need a proper left-wing party, if we can ever get organized enough to do such a thing rather than relying on what already exists.
And as I said, I think the best course of action is a measured approach. Local Elections, Off-year elections and non-presidential elections. Grow in numbers, gain public confidence and start snowballing.
The reason why third parties are progressively weakening is because of a lack of faith, and third party’s consistent decimation in the presidential is a big part of it.
Its counter intuitive, but voting third-party hurts third parties in the long run if you focus on them primarily during presidential elections.
I’m not the standard “Oh the third party will never win type.” I’m actively against trying to run before we can walk.
Confidence is a big deal in elections. It’s more obvious in Primaries. If people see a candidate they like in the Primaries, but they don’t think they can win against the opposition candidate, they will not vote for the candidate they like. They will vote for the candidate that they have the most confidence in even if they don’t like that candidate.
We need to start a from the ground up political party that’s entire focus is to stay out of the view of presidential elections, We need to start focusing on bringing Ranked Choice Voting to as many locations as possible. And it will be a long process. But it’s far better than repeatedly doing the same thing every election cycle.
We always have the situation of 99% evil vs 100% evil both with a roughly 50/50 chance of winning and a selection of third party candidates who are decent but have 0 chance of winning.
Third party candidate loses, 99% or 100% evil wins. Third Party yet again becomes less relevant and less considered. Repeat. This cycle can only end if we stop focusing on the obvious losing strategy.
