That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we’ve seen from twitter, when he doesn’t have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.
Retaining some ability to spend and use cash is vital because otherwise, all our financial transactions are totally controlled by the banks, and they are completely untrustworthy. The cost is inconvenience.
If you where to try and explain the Fediverse to someone, how would you explain it with it's different instances? As well as explain why it is better in some ways for the future of the Internet?
IKEA Family is a membership program, like grocery store memberships. The only real feature of the program was their 5% discount. But now, they are getting rid of it to focus on “New Lower Price offers”. I’m not holding my breath that their prices are going to come down anytime soon....
This fella was an ebay rescue that came with so much paint on it that I wasn’t sure if he was actually this model. So I stripped him and did my best to give him a new lease of life as the first of my Emperors Children....
I’ve bought this and it’s so long! 110 pages, of which 70 are the powers. It looks great but in classic MCDM style (Illrigger is super complex) it is hella crunchy.

The last Settlement Event from my Kingdom Death weekend was Murder so I grabbed this mini and started it right away when I got home. I think I was too hasty with the primer and it ended up with a gritty effect I didn't intend. Maybe with some layers and blending that will go away.

Agreed. Either it’s archive text messages, and also tape-record all verbal communication as well, or just let people talk to each other without all this admin.
It turns out cable wasn’t some unique product or way of doing things, it’s just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.
Yep Google Play Music was literally perfect. It was incredible. And now it’s gone I have to use Spotify and the world’s most backwards fucking ‘add to queue’ logic. Get fucked Spotify. Best of a bad bunch.
