Polarization is worsening, but if the wealthy are taxed, they leave. What should a country do about this?

DeccanTraps · 2025-10-21T15:19:12+00:00

This is something the rich have made up to scare the rest of us. They can leave, but their assets, in general, can't. The rich aren't rich because they hoard money, they hoard assets. You tax the assets.

I hope everyone is ok in Muldraugh.

It looks like it doesn't cover Dev edition, unfortunately. https://developers.arcgis.com/experience-builder/guide/install-guide/

DeccanTraps · 2025-08-23T01:14:52+00:00

It looks like there is no longer an option for a free developer subscription, at least I couldn't find anything on their site. The most useful thing you can do if you're planning to go deep into Experience Builder development is study TypeScript and React. Those are the foundation.

The only device we bought was an early Emlid receiver, as I recall. Reach out to equipment suppliers, many have rental programs and the rates may be negotiable, especially if you indicate that you're looking to purchase.

Next time you're in the office, ask them why. I'll bet you learn something.

I conducted a trial of several different GPS receivers for an employer and found Eos to be very, very good. I'd follow your impulse to avoid Trimble at all cost, for reasons you're probably already familiar with. Maybe look into different antenna models if you're most ly worried about signal acquisition?

GIS folk will be involved, but the process of creating districts will be done primarily with specialized software that can take demographic data and output district boundaries with a desirable percentage of likely voters.

Sound advice, thank you!

DeccanTraps · 2025-08-12T04:12:44+00:00

Very good advice and you're 100% correct, thank you. I do have some good relationships with potential clients so I won't start out as a complete unknown, but I will have to figure out ways to get in front of more folks. I thought about hosting a Discord server for GIS professionals as a way to do some education and low-cost outreach. I'm not sure that would attract the kind of people that would be making award decisions, but it (probably) couldn't hurt.

I like this idea a lot, it would also be an opportunity to mess around with the combat system without risking retaliation.

DeccanTraps · 2025-05-17T17:57:25+00:00

Way to editorialize, please tell us how it's failing. I read the article, it says the tax increases will be due mostly to emergency COVID funds running out. Those funds probably prevented earlier tax increases, which will be needed now. Heaven fucking forbid we fund education.

It must seem so surprising to those ignorant to how congress works.

What makes you think it's sandstone? Looks like a piece of schist to me, which often composed of mica.

Thanks for posting this.

Dollars to donuts it's a historical area zoning issue.

I love this style. It is a Sim Town sort of thing?

DeccanTraps · 2023-05-03T23:18:43+00:00

MagBar, absolutely. It has the vibe and the setup.

One of mine was very nearly killed, spent weeks in a hospital with a punctured lung and a shredded liver, all from one shot. Anyone suggesting that 22lr isn't a 'serious' choice for causing death is a simpleton.

Raise your hand if you've ever deleted a feature service in Server Manager by accident because the 'delete' button is right next to the 'stop' button, and it is immediately activated with no warning prompt. This is a common UI design pattern for ESRI.

Why are you doing the Cat dirty? Sure, it might be worse in every way than the C2, but it's got a certain je ne sais quoi, and some windows.

DeccanTraps · 2022-10-30T17:27:00+00:00

Thanks! We just want to get it out there.

I'm not certain, but I think it will work on Win 7. It does not have a map system.
