I’m going to start using this

I can see it, Yakety Sax playing the entier 4 minute game.

I think the guy you’re thinking of Fox Mulder

All the children songs were like that. Remeber singing about the animals boarding the ark two by two. They seemed to skip over all the children on earth drowning.

You’re talking about economic systems, that isn’t what i was talking about. I was talking about how pricing works. So before you get all hot about it maybe learn the difference

I wasn’t making an assumption on the actual cost and who gets the money. I’m just saying people seem dumbfounded when they hear the price of a pizza at $15 and then see a $6 delivery fee from a 3rd party and think OMG thats expensive. You were paying the pizza place half that on ever pizza even when you eat there, and then you have a business who gets no pay for the pizza unless you get it delivered so if course they are going to charge even more for delivery.

Because people are dumb to pay the price for delivery from a private service? Or because they understand how a business is run?

I never use the service because I’m not going to waste money when I can just got get it myself.

When you do the math it makes sense that is the cost. None of the pizza places dropped their price when they stopped doing delivery, and the price the private delivery services are doing at least double the pizza place’s delivery price.

Most places like a pizza shop are going to split 3 ways between food, staff and other overhead. On a $15 pizza we are talking about $5 split between the cook and the delivery person so lets say $3 is adding into every pizza for delivery costs.

On a $50 purchase you’re seeing $10 for delivery from the pizza place and then an additional $20 for the private.

Oddly I think the only cases I ever used it where I was connecting to my home computer from outside my house was when I needed to connect to my router’s webpage. SSH to my home computer and then pull up the browser to open a port on my DMZ or other such nonsense.

When at home and just using LAN bandwidth it was to run lesser programs.

That looks like a great solution, will have to try it out.

I finally got an “upgrade” going from a super slow 25 year old system to a kinda slow 10 year old system. Went with wayland to try it out and it works well enough so far.

The only thing I’m missing, and I haven’t had a need since the upgrade is to be able to run remote X applications locally. Relied on a netbook with X client and had my desktop downstairs. Now my new laptop can run all I meed so no remote X tunnels over SSH.

One thing to note with X11’s design, having a server and client, there was nothing requiring both to be on the same machine. You could run an X11 client on your local machine, ssh into a remote machine and use its X11 server.

Lets say you are home and can ssh into a work server. You could run Firefox on the work machine, using it’s network and have the visual parts show up on your home computer.

This was very much a Unix, shared resource style design. Servers and thin clients. Put all your horse power in the big machine and connect using your crappy low power system to it.

because charlie, they are all a bunch of nitwits

This looks like the text they show in the true murder shows to demonstrate why the child killed their parent.

all the holiday bullshit is over. no more traveling during the most dangerous weather of the year. no more seeing a ton of people out of obligation. no more shoving bronze age blood cult nonsense that just normalizes a beliefe system that promoted patriarchy, racism, misogyny and fear.

My favorite things is January 2nd

what do you think the results will be?

They will point to all the laws they ignored and say they apply. When you point out “hey you did the same thing” they will change the subject or ignore you comment. They know they are hypocrits and don’t care. They will do whatever it takes to win including cheat. So again I ask you what do you think will happen? I think the answer is nothing.

And it’s the same Republicans who said Supreme Court nominations shouldn’t happen right before an election and also voted in nominations right before an election. They don’t give us shit about anything. Why would we go through a stunt when they wouldn’t think twice about how they are hypocritics. they know then are, they just don’t care.

The SNL skit started in 89

It’s the party that lies through their teeth. Why on earth would you think they would admit anything?

I believe both came out in '89
