“Ten Bits” seems viable, although nobody cares much about the Spanish real anymore.

Not even an isekai.
Arguably, one of the best possible worlds.
What’s Argentina? Do you mean Falklands West?
I put out one of those big plastic storage units with like 30 little drawers recently, figuring although 2 were missing, someone could still use it. I stood it next to the dustbin, on trash day where it would be optimally visible for anyone who wanted to scrounge it.
The bloody HOA took a picture and sent a nastygram.
It’s a seasonal product that drives added purchases, not the core line.
You bring out six exotic flavours a year and 3 million people buy 6 more bags of crisps each year. 5,000 of them get obsessed and buy 50 bags of Cinnamon and Prawn crisps because they’re only here for a two-month window. Sales of plain and Sour Cream and Onion crisps are largely unchanged.
Check a local coin dealer/show.
Silver ounce rounds come in infinitely many designs, and there are a lot of right-wingers in those interest groups.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them done up with his ugly maw on. I think sometines as copper too.
I think 3D printing has potential because it can close the gap between hobbyist crafts and commercial grade manufacturing. Print the item for a run of 25, then you can move up to a real mould for 25,000.
It also leans into repairability-- replacement parts that might not be feasible to whittle one at a time from wood can be reliably made in a plastic comparable of strength to the original, and tge designs shared widely
“Us versus them” politics are asking for a complete washout on the international stage.
In the end, when the shit hits the fan, are you going to align yourself with the country that makes All the Things, or the one that can’t even pass a budget? COVID proved that it wasn’t just good-times, low-stakes gridlock: even existential crises weren’t enough to get America to cooperate and discipline herself.
If real life were a survival movie, we’d be getting to the scene where the secondary characters decide whether to follow Grandpa Sticky, who’s in the midst of full-blown dementia and was at best a vaguely racist philosophy professor when lucid, or the 22-year-old trained soldier with a fully stocked supply line. And we’d be throwing popcorn at the screen and deriding how terrible the writing is.
Discussion: you can have an “extinction event” in any ecosystem-- not just biological ones.
For example, the abandonment of steam locomotives in the mid-20th-century, or the Home Computer crash of the 1980s.
Similar to a biological mass extinction, you have:
Someone read a 1980s high school home-ec textbook, with the diagram noting that kitchen efficiency required the sink, stove, and fridge on facing walls, and ever since, would not take NO for an answer.
A month or so ago; I had a 32G card, and bought a 128G card.
If there’s such a fear of third parties cleaving off votes from the Democrats, why have they never tried to mobilize similar forces on the right?
We had the Libertarians right there, before they imploded.
My objections:
Instead of writing the code now, you end up having to review and debug it, which is more work IMO.
Isn’t that Perona’s attack in One Piece?
Not to mention the Xbox Box, and the shipping cintainer full of 'em, the Xbox Box Box
Too much girl, not enough cat. REFUND!
When do we get people wearing calendars to finish the crew though?
Legit multipolarization?
NATO, in particular, is highly coupled to the American/anti-Russian agenda. How much chance did Europe get to discuss the pros and cons of bankrolling a long-term conflict in Ukraine vs getting railroaded into it with the insinuations of being the next Chamberlain?
Even Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin don’t wake up every morning asking “how can I be evil today?” They may have a different agenda than the West, but it still comes from a place of caring for their country, legacy, and position. These are not wholesale foreign concepts. They can be understood and worked with. But I suspect the sort of organizations that would get the best out of them would require certain countries to acknowledge their place among equals and be willing to comptomise their sphere of influence.
Followup in the spirit of documenting it for someone else: If you modify the fonts in qt5ct.conf, removing the last option, for some reason it does exactly what I want: looking at notepadqq, I get a bold menu, but non-bold body text.
[Fonts]
fixed=“Go Mono,11,-1,5,50,1,0,0,0,0,0”
general=“Helvetica,11,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0”
It seems like removing the last paramater treats the specification as less prescriptive-- places in the UI that call for bold get it, and non-bold gets it. This is evident in the Double Commander Qt package, where some parts of the UI are bold and others aren’t.
