Affinity is pretty good. It is different than Adobe, so workflows are slightly different. Some things are harder but some things are easier. Adobes real advantage is AI and Lightroom. Affinity is getting popular enough that there are plenty of instructional videos on YouTube.

We need data privacy laws.

Republicans votes from the far right.

Microsoft gave up far too easily. We should have a Windows phone.

But the better alternate to iOS did not win. Google had the funds to push Android forward, where WebOS did not.

Ironically, Biden is a practicing Catholic, while you will never convince me that trump is religious at all. Time to warship false idols?

And money. It was the most lucrative business his family ever run.

And linux is getting hood at gaming thanks to Steamdeck.

Apple loves under ramming (to give a word a new meaning) and forcing everyone to pay for upgrades. The problem is there are always people that buy the base.

Insanity.

Meanwhile, the government pays farmers where it rains and hay grows well to leave fields barren. It gives farmers welfare payments and increases grain prices.

Engineers too. A 4-5 year degree, then an exam to get engineer in training status, then a few years apprenticeship, then another exam to get a license that allows them to sign off on projects. Although, a friend of mine never bothered taking the last exam, he just has to work under another engineer.

I usually agree, but in this case it sounds like they did. Ireland set a low tax to attract companies. So apple opened an office there and hired thousands of workers. And paid their taxes. But the EU did not think that was fair and demanded more after the fact.

What a terrible idea.

My wife’s Honda has over 300k and still runs fine and doesn’t use oil. We put $10k aside for an emergency down payment, but every month it keeps going we are a few hundred dollars wealthier.

Toyota is selling a basic (no ABS brakes, no airbags, crank windows) pickup in the rest of the world for $10,000. They could probably sell a version with the optional safety equipment in the US for $15-20k. But they will not sell it here and mess up the $50-100k luxury pickup gravy train.

An absolute level is not helpful. That is expected with inflation. What % of gdp?

BYD is supposedly bringing them to production.

Not at all. I realized the title was likely not clickbait. While I agree it was crafted to get clicks, the article does actually follow the title.

The fee is standard across many industries, including attorneys.

Traditionally housing on average has appreciated about the pace of inflation. Along with supply and demand on a local level for places growing or declining.
