I’ve never understood why so many people in the US buy pickups. City dwellers? Why? People in most trades? Panel van > pickup. Farmers or ranchers? Makes sense.

How safe is LURE?

I’ll gladly pay a premium for something that will be “buy it for life” or at least last decades. Phones and computers have inherent obsolescence, but most tools don’t. I don’t buy chinesium tools, I buy reputed European, American, or Japanese tools, the lifetime stuff.

I think that the doctrine should be "anything Russia does or uses is allowed. Simple.

That hat looks ridiculously small

I think it may be time to buy Boeing stock soon. I think major investors are finally seeing the writing on the wall, and are going to push for an engineer driven revival. These things take time and effort for such a behemoth, but with the right leadership and investor backing, it can be done.

When I query an AI I always end with “provide sources and bibliography for your reply”. That seems to get better replies.

Also, I seem to remeber that the Affinity CEO made those statements, but Canva are calling the shots now, so…

I’m in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.

I don’t think so. Unless I’m mistaken, your lifetime license is for major versions, so when 3.0 comes around, you will still be able to use 2.x.x, but not upgrade for free. They have been offering pretty good upgrade prices, though. We’ll see what happens.

Yes. They’ve made positivw noises about pricing, etc, but pretty much everybody in the community fears changes for the worse

This is a Carrefour, right? I’ve quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.

Thanks for explaining it and leaving me even more confused.

I believe at some point they said the may explore additional models, like offering both pay once and subscription at the same time. We can hope

Not was. Is.

What scares me shitless is that this could happen to the Affinity suite, which they bought recently. Affinity is the main pro level alternative to some Adobe products, and is very affordable in a pay once model instead of subscription.

If this is OK, downloading a movie to watch it, not to make any profit, is OK, right? If it isn’t, will they get fined proportionally to the people who get fined for downloading a movie?
