Not a cover, but an hommage: https://youtu.be/6L_6rShR0kY

Never ending? I use JB toolbox, and I never get prompted for a valid license. It's just always licenced.

A truly smart criminal wouldn't get caught. So you could argue any of the unsolved crimes were "smart". But equally likely that they were just lucky.

"who programs writers who have a vendetta against Israel and Zionism"

Oh no, not the poor Zionists...

All of the vampire's hanging out in highschools.

It was meant to suppress all criticism of Israel. And it succeeded. Next time, she won't be uninvited, they will just not invite her to begin with.

Some fine point tweezers are usually useful for getting lint out of the USB port, I have done it fairly aggressively and not done any damage yet.

Luke warm and flat coke 😍

It's gamifying your exercise. Some get a dog to remind them, some use an app, some just have the habits.

I don't know if it is tax evasion (I am not a US tax expert), as it would be up to the receiver of the Robux to declare it as income and pay tax? Correct me if I am wrong there, but from a cursory google, you can be taxed on all kinds of income, including bartering, so it should be possible to pay taxes on it. As for whether it is true, there was a long YT video, and a few news articles about it some time ago. Cant find the original, but here is some discussion, and the top comment links to the original video:

TLDW: Mod/item developers are paid in Robux, which can theoretically be converted back to dollars, but it was quite difficult to do so. It is well down the path towards being a scrip, and despite the publicity, nothing happened to the company.

I would at least be completely honest with the person, and tell them that the choice is either be homeless or effectively owned by Walmart. But I don't think its correct to frame this as a binary choice, there are other options. Homeless shelters do exist, even if there aren't enough, and Walmart could donate these cubes to a shelter organization to operate them independently.

Annoyingly, disk discovery. It refused to use my disks, claiming they didn't have serial numbers. I could see the serial numbers in the frontend and the console, but their middleware just hated them.

I am using a USB multi-disk drive thing, which didn't work properly on an old kernel, but it should have been fine with the new kernel.

I reported the bug, which didn't really get addressed, and then had to build my array using the command line tools (which aren't documented).

I dunno about recommending FreeNAS (Known as truenas now). It is basically an appliance OS, and unless you are using enterprise level hardware, they want nothing to do with you.

I'm currently using it, but it was a very unpleasant experience setting it up.

Eh, that still wastes the energy used to process the material, so still unideal. But probably better?

Could change the model so that the festival provides the tents for $0 (or some tiny fee), but with a $500 bond. Trash the tent, lose $500, look after it and it gets re-used next festival.

It's a sad outcome for the writers, but better than it going ahead in that format.

Thanks for the personal updates, much appreciated!

Roblox is paying third party developers in in-game currency. And that they can't use it to buy groceries is exactly the problem. Thats the problem with scrip, its worthless outside the "company town". They are doing real work, for not real money.

The government (or another 3rd party) should be supplying the affordable housing. Having the employer house the employee just hands way too power to the employer. If wallmart wants to build these pods and sell them to a government entity to operate, then great, that's fine. But if wallmart operates them, then this is a terrible idea.

It's still a company town if the company owns the factory, and the only housing that its employees can afford. The end result is exactly the same, the employees become indebted to the company. Will wallmart allow people living in its cubes to find work elsewhere? Or will they have to choose between homelessness and working at wallmart?

As for scrip, all it takes is Wallmart to say "Your pay check now includes 7 cube tokens, valued at $X dollars, we'll reduce your pay by $X to make it fair".

And as for the US not allowing company currencies, you haven't been paying attention, they already do. Robux is well on down that path, and most microtransactions tokens are scrip-lite.

I'm sorry for upsetting you, but it's not me you should be mad at.

This isn't a solution to homelessness either though, it's just legalising slavery via company towns and eventually, company scrip, which has been done before, and it doesn't work well for anyone but the company.

Go read how company towns have worked in the past, it always ends in indentured servitude.

Good for her, much respect. hopefully the rest of the writers festival implodes as well.

What if we just move the tents outside the environment?
