I don’t see it. Link?

I heard Steve Wozniak talk about doing this with $2 bills. He had them bound in a booklet and perforated so that he could tear them out one-by-one. Definitely one of the more entertaining ways to tip a waiter.

The point is that the publisher isn’t going to revoke your access to the physical book at any time. It’s a durable good, and whether the materials last one year or five hundred years is irrelevant to the fact that you (and all subsequent owners) have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of the book for as long as it lasts.

When you PURCHASE/BUY/OWN a copy of software, it is reasonable to believe that you have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of that copy for as long as it lasts. That means no “always-online” requirements that make ongoing communication with the publisher mandatory, no chance of access to the software being remotely revoked, and no restrictions on gifting or reselling the copy.

Same on Boost. I have to long-press the image and select “Open in browser” to see the video

I can’t see the video either unless I open it in my web browser. My reader app only shows me a screenshot too

You’re saying the people who own and manage Netflix have no care for whether or not people pay for Netflix subscriptions? Bold assertion.

Sure, voting with your streaming dollars isn’t going to overthrow the government, but that’s not what anyone was talking about. We’re talking about voting with your streaming dollars for a better streaming service.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

“Because the process produces a concentrated, espresso-strength coffee, it can be used directly to manufacture ready-to-drink products, or shipped as a concentrate and later diluted into a range of drinks, including cold brew and milk-based coffee drinks.”

Okay, that makes sense. A more energy-efficient way to mass-produce cold drinks and concentrates.

There’s no way the average coffee drinker would be happy with a room-temperature shot of espresso. Yuck!

Okay, so to be clear then, you’re not talking about the same entity that was forced to forgive the back rent. “He should have arrested him instead” implies “He should have arrested him instead of forcing him to forgive the back rent,” when in fact the back rent was incurred under one company that went bankrupt and then forgiven by a different company that subsequently purchased the properties and has fixed 3,500 of the 12,500 known code violations in a short span of time.

Now, how do you determine the persons responsible for the state those buildings are in? Is it the maintenance staff, the property managers, the C-suite, the equity holders? Responsibility is shared by many people and it flows in multiple directions. I would love for there to be a proper investigation and I hope one is underway, but it’s not as simple as “Zohran Mamdani, you should have personally arrested that man!”

So why does this matter to you?

It matters because it chafes me to see a complex issue reduced to pointing fingers at an imaginary slumlord with a twirly black moustache. We’re talking about a large company on which many people depended for their livelihood and even more people depended for safe, well-maintained housing - and that company became financially insolvent. There are so many potential failure points to be investigated.

These recent events are a major win for the Union of Pinnacle Tenants, but without even reading the article, you decided that the mayor should have personally arrested “him/them” instead of providing relief to the people affected. Not even “arrested him too,” but “arrested him instead.”

Which specific employees and/or officers of Pinnacle Group and/or Summit Properties should be summarily executed by the mayor of the city, in your opinion?

Should he execute the CEOs? The entire C-Suites? The Boards of Directors? The property managers? The maintenance staff? Anyone who has any stock or any other form of equity in either company since they’re technically the ones paying everyone from the CEO down to the most junior employee to do this? Just how much of a bloodbath do you think Zohran Mamdani should personally carry out? How much carnage do you need an elected official to unilaterally enact before you feel “uplifted?”

Or did you expect the Slumlord to be a single individual with a twirly black moustache and a villainous laugh?

He should have arrested whom? Which employee or officer of which of the two companies in the article are you referring to?

This is definitely the wrong community, but I’m so happy to see the footage and read the article that I don’t even mind. Far out!

Thank you for sharing! It was fun to scroll for a while.

I’ve been a vegetarian for ten years. I rarely get any sort of meat cravings at all anymore. But when I do, I crave SPAM.

Ooh, combining two of my passions - classical history and vegetarian cuisine! Thanks for sharing.

Buddhists believe in hell realms that are worse than Earth. Wicked souls reincarnate as hell beings, and it takes much longer than a normal human lifetime to work off the negative karma and have another chance at rebirth into a higher realm. Being born as a human is fortunate and rare in the cosmic scope of things.

Huh, TIL. I hadn’t been aware that YouTube used age verification services.
