In my experience syncthing is always a bit like that using the default discovery settings.
I use a hub & spoke set up now. Instead of A, B, and C all connecting to each other directly, they only connect to D. I also input the address for D specifically instead of using discovery servers.
It might seem like some of these technical implementations are easy, but in many cases it's not practically possible. The IGA down the road had self checkout but no one ever used them because they would call the operator after almost every item. Recently they just got rid of them and replaced them with old fashioned checkouts.
I'm struggling to remember a time when I've wanted to look at a price for a grocery item online. I've never done direct to boot.
I don't really think these technical services are the right way for smaller vendors to compete with Colesworth. It's just too expensive to create a comparable ux. They're better off focusing on local products or speciality lines.
Honestly I think that if he lost the election, and was incarcerated even under home arrest with no access to his fans, he would more or less immediately become irrelevant, and he would grow frail very quickly.
Imagine how miserable that would be for him. His own personal hell.
Firstly, you're entirely correct - it's a tiny part of the problem.
Secondly, it shifts the "blame" for plastic on to consumers. "Oh we've been so bad all this time using plastic shopping bags".
Thirdly, it provides a feeling of resolution. "I'm so happy now we've done the hard work to buy these $0.10 reusable shopping bags and solved the plastic problem".
Fourthly, you have to wonder how many plastic shopping bags were actually single use. For example, a lot of them were made from recycled plastic, and a lot of them were re-used as garbage bags, which are now purchased anyway.
On balance, I think it's within the realm of possibility that these laws do more harm than good. Honestly, just tax plastic producers and see how quickly producers using plastic to package their products magically fine innovative new alternatives.
Perhaps. I think consumers are more willing to pay producers than they have been in the past. I acknowledge that the time is not yet right, but with time, the less appealing youtube is the more likely alternatives will become.
You're right that the guys story stinks, but that just shows how weak the conviction was... it depended on the testimony of someone who had taken a plea deal in exchange for that testimony.
Witty.
