He is asking people for help.

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Huh, is this why I've been accused of being a bot before? I've been using the noun-verb username format since the late 1990s.

“We were supposed to be paid every 15 days. And then they switched accounting firms, and then it went from 15 days to 60,” Shane said.

A contract that has NET15 terms being unilaterally switched to NET60 is a clear violation, and that should have been the stoppage of work right there.

Its forgettable pocket change to anyone but trump. He is a petulant child that doesn't like to be told "no". An example of this is the civil judgment against him E. Jean Carroll for $5m. He could have paid it as it too was pocket change to him, but he continues to fight it to this day (and he continues to lose).

As Ronald Wright said , A Short History of Progress (2004): "John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." (note, John Steinbeck never said that)

I think the general idea of those against it is that they assume it is zero sum. Meaning, for everyone to be taken care of, the person must lose or have less.

Phones peaked around 2012. Now they are more cameras.

Folding phones only came out about 5 years ago, but I bought it used and true to the article my current folding phone is over 24 months with no plans on it being replaced.

That is not a good reason,

I didn't say it was a good reason. The OP said there was no reason. There is a reason.

There’s also no reason that it’s a software handle.

There is a reason. It would be easy to argue its not worth it though.

When you pull the door handle the glass window retracts below the rubber weather stripping, then the door latch unlocks and you open the door. When you close the door and it latches, the window moves back up into the weather stripping creating a tight seal.

It’s 2 years. Not permanent.

Well, we may have a better shot at getting it permenent in 2 years under *barf* president Vance.

But he, like, did it during, like, the most mundane, like, things he would, like, say.

He got criticized for wearing a tan suit. There were no times that were mundane for him.

Yeah, but like, it made him, like, sounds like a, teenage, like, schoolgirl.

Except...he never said "like" like valley girl speak ever.

The opposite is trump, so I hope you're enjoying when the current president speaks instead of Obama.

You are forgetting about social security (6.2%) and medicare (1.2%)

okay, fine.

6.2% of 10000 is $620
1.2% of 10000 is $120

They’ll also have to pay state taxes.

8 states don't have income tax.

So closer to $6860.

So closer to $7,600 than $6,000.

It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone.

The argument started over UNIX file directories, in a post about Redox OS on smartphones— which was a [Paul Sanja] hack as well. [Paul] had everything he needed to pick up the gauntlet, and evidently did so promptly. The drive is a classic Commodore 1541, which means you’ll want to watch the demo video at 2x speed or better. (If you thought loading times felt slow in the old days, they’re positively glacial by modern standards.) The old floppy drive is plugged into a Google Pixel 3 running Postmarket OS. Sure, you could do this on Android, but a fully open Linux system is obviously the hacker’s choice. As a bonus, it makes the whole endeavor almost trivial.

Between the seven-year-old phone and the forty-year-old disk drive is an Arduino Pro Micro, configured with the XUM1541 firmware by [OpenBCM] to act as a translator. On the phone, the VICE emulator pretends to be a C64, and successfully loads Impossible Mission from an original disk. Arguably, the phone doesn’t “sport” the disk drive–if anything, it’s the other way around, given the size difference–but we think [Paul Sanja] has proven the point regardless. Bravo, [Paul].

Thanks to [Joseph Eoff], who accidentally issued the challenge and submitted the tip. If you’ve vexed someone into hacking (or been so vexed yourself), don’t hesitate to drop us a line!

We wish more people would try hacking their way through disagreements. It really, really beats a flame war.
