Looking forward to trying that today.

Alright, who’s the first geoguesser to impossibly dox this guy

So it’s people like you who’s caps we’ll mysteriously find inside of a pre-war safe??

I would be more surprised that you yourself would withstand vibrations extreme enough to kill a hard drive, for 8 hours at that.

This seems highly unlikely. Modern HDDs are extremely resilient.
But I don’t know the details of your situation, obviously, and it’s not impossible.

I have heard that China has made significant efforts in this area, but that really is a massive change in just over a decade.
Meanwhile, the UK will take as long to build a single high-speed line.

Someone correct me, but I understood that donations serve as a tax write-off.
So they don’t care about the donations as much as their own savings.

Pro is still the same desktop app

SketchUp was intended for this purpose and is so incredibly easy to get started with.
Unless something has changed, it definitely is for sketching only, as it lacks a lot of advanced functionality found in other CAD programs.

I don’t know about others, but I’ve tried and failed to stop my pc waking from sleep.
At some point, it just stops providing wake reason codes. It just wakes up. The system doesn’t know or tell why.
Hibernation has never failed me, at least.

The fact that you keep diverting from the question rather than answering says everything.
Please apply this concept to a self-published book and tell me again how piracy has no impact.

What does your example studio being bad at making deals have to do with piracy exactly?

You disagree that 0 purchases result in 0 revenue?
Please show your math on this

I’m tired of people pretending like piracy does no harm.
If 100% of readers pirate an authors book, they get 0% income. It really is that simple.

Pirate your shit if the publishing sucks, but also support the author.
Donate, buy their merch, buy the ebook of their site directly.

Don’t be a cunt.

Yes, but we didn’t emit nearly enough co2 on that one

I want an option to select Marvin the paranoid android mood: “there’s your answer, now if you could leave me to wallow in self-pitty”

It’s not worth the risk. If your job is border control, would you be smuggling goods? Maybe some would, but most would not.

They’re whitehat because they don’t want to take part in illegal activities, or already have and have grown from it.

I didn’t say “It’s not a bad decision because there’s a reason”.
I shared that because I found it interesting myself and thought that others might too.

Fast food restaurants looking generic is on purpose.
There’s value in owning a property. That value is a lot lower if it’s something like McDonald’s kid-theme restaurant, or the classic Pizza Hut building.
If you got a generic modern building, it can be used for anything and sold with ease.

Sounds like an easier job for the landlord/owner, not having to manage coins and exchange.
