Yup, it’s just aluminum foil with an adhesive.

Worked in an mro so mostly was removing speed tape, but occasionally we would send a bird out of a heavy check with speed tape on.

You keep posting this graph with no context, but the euro has also had very high inflation.

This is bad faith and you know it, that’s why you aren’t actually discussing it, just posting a misleading graph.

USD had 141% cumulative inflation since 1990

Euro has 115%

The pound has 143%

Brazil ( a member of brics) has nearly 1000% since 1994 (25 million percent from 1990 like the other countries.

China, arguably the biggest contender for stability in brics has 160% inflation.

Why aren’t you including charts for all of these countries? And why are you using a chart showing inflation values from before USD was used as the international currency in 1944 with the bretton woods conference, without demonstrating why that is important and what it means? Given that this is in the context of global currencies.

Isn’t the first graph just general inflation? What does purchasing comparing purchasing power mean in this scenario? And how does it compare to other currencies like the pound or the euro?

Also the conclusion of the second article you linked seems to indicate that no other large scale currencies are replacing the shares of the US dollar, instead things like gold and diversified currencies are taking up this space, those don’t take the place for international trade.

Neither of these seem like a death knell for USD to me.

The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.

You can do it without all the bishops too: 6bk/7b/8/8/8/8/1B6/K7 b - - 0 1

But you still need two light squared bishops for black.

You could make it happen with a white bishop and a pawn though: 6bk/7b/8/8/8/8/1B6/K7 b - - 0 1

Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.

Each person doesn’t need to host everything.

The Internet archive already has torrents that get automatically created, you can right now go and download/seed torrents for some items and you are immediately doing your part in decentralizing the Internet archive.

But that is them accepting it.

After the rework with reaper of souls, d3 was excellent imo.

Why federated and not just regular p2p?

Internet archive already supports torrents.

It’s easy.

It’s closer in spirit to buying a pack of smokes, it’s easy to just grab one on the way somewhere, less of an issue if you lose it or have to toss it(like at some concert venues), easier to give to your friends, and generally they are much smaller, so easier to conceal.

How come console gamers are the only ones still making a push for discs?

I agree with you, but Nintendo’s arguments are that the emulators pirated their code in order to develop the emulator and for it to function.

Wouldn’t it mostly be assets like logos, maps, icons, etc?

These isekai titles are getting too much.

1000 perfectly timed butt pokes.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

You need to tell it to run the script

What helicopters and drones are flying over the ocean, across Europe, Africa and North America?

And what is a ‘courier craft’ do you mean a private airplane?

Private != Billionaire owned, it means a privately owned plane that flies general aviation (non FAR 121)

Transferring organs absolutely happens in private jets.

I think you might just not know what the term ‘private jet’ means.

There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.

The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.

There isn’t much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though
