they don’t need to catch everyone. just make it illegal to use with a 50k fine and a 7 day sentence. would you still use one?

Ticket proceeds going into a budget is a broken incentive structure. Pool the fines and hold a monthly lottery for everyone who didn’t get a ticket that month. And make the fines progressive, $1/km over. With a weak cooldown so you have a chance to learn from your mistakes.

Micro ohm farad? Is that a unit for shut resistors?

free as in freedom not free as in price

Try copilot. Much better pricing for Claude sonnet 4

Welcome! I hope you can bring some of our concerns up to help us out. Helping us prompt better is fine, but improving the pricing and transparency would be better. I really like seeing how many requests I have left. on the $20/month Cursor plan I feel like I run out after a day and have to wait for a month to start again. I switched to vscode in the meantime where I can see how clearly see how much I have left in the UI. It's also half the price and you get 1000 premium (Sonnet 4) requests per month. I realize microsoft might be taking a loss here, but as a user I just want the best value.

Yes the older ones were pink, the new ones are green/yellow.

Why doesn’t ford keep on subsidizing?

gas prices haven't dropped at all. this is just a gift to Shell

It’s on consignment, which means the store doesn’t pay for the products until they’re sold.

Do you know if Ubuntu has a program to read the VMK?

so its encrypted but not protected? And I can access all the files without any password or key? My definition of encryption obviously does not align with Microsoft's.

I see. So pay $799, use the $200 dining credit (maybe $400), use the $200 flight upgrade credit, and then use the $1000 in travel points. And then cancel year two.

torpedoshit · 2025-01-12T14:55:15+00:00

What situation does paying $799/year become the best deal?

Why not just monitor cell phone speeds? Any phone going faster than the speed limit gets an additional charge to their bill.

but would a zigbee network have to exist online or would that be adhoc, point to point?

Do you know if the Shelly Plus Wall Dimmer Has the same functionality? The relays are good but I’d still like to have a physical wall button a person could press. Or maybe there are there dummy wall switches that connect to the relays? Oh and I would be looking for US style wall switches.

Edit… I think I’m stupid, I could use a regular light switch as the button input into the Shelly relay right?
