Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.

Nice shot though.

Earth doesn’t have any bills though, dues to the United Federation of Planets are set to start in 2161 at the earliest

it’s satire

In that case I’m sure they’re enjoying their 60 cents per month

You could actually run an actual legit miner on the thing, but yeah, you’re not getting ahead your electricity usage.

I had no idea, thanks for the info

That’s on the tv manufacturers though, it’s their choice.

Oh I know, but I do think anti-trust would require an erection of some sort of barrier. Say, if HDMI required that if HDMI is present, displayport cannot be.

Right now, tv makers are complete free to choose.

Pretty chill

Doesn’t mean displayport can’t be used there.

If the tv maker wanted to not pay licensing fees, they could put a displayport on the thing. But they don’t. Their call.

That’s not the point of my comment, the point is that whatever hdmi is, it’s got very healthy competition, so there’s no real reason for anti-trust stuff

But displayport exists, is widely used and is free?

I’m pretty sure that’s kinda exactly what happened though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just that no one thought to add a logo because engineers don’t care about shit like that (at least a lot of them don’t)

Just tell me the root issue is capitalism and that it’s the root of all evil so we can move on

How do you know that’s not part of the plan?

Also, the president can’t address the “root cause” or “capitalism”, that’s the domain of Congress.

Yeah it’s not ironic at all, they won’t be conscripted in Israel

Man I hate when politicians try to help people

Going all out in the beginning can backfire, there’s a lot you have to think about. A couple things that come to mind:

1. You lose leverage, the threat of more sanctions goes away if there’s no way to add more sanctions
2. There’s a possible threat to American businesses who at least partly benefit from trade with Russia. Gotta think of how it impacts US citizens as well
3. You don’t want to sanction people who haven’t done anything wrong (yet), since it disincentivises being “good”. Why bother doing the right thing if you’re getting punished regardless?

Damn all the muslims for causing rime rates to go up! ^/s

Oh I can definitely understand being mad at some pet owners. It can suuuuck.

But a blanket statement is just disingenuous
