When there is a finite amount of something and someone with more money wants it, it makes the price of it for everyone go up to make it so that some people can no longer afford to compete for the resource, making it available for the higher spender.
Same thing with land & property on it, the working class can’t afford to buy housing now, because rich people want to use housing as an investment vehicle.
Food is another
Ultimately it’s the same problem across the board and the only solution is a wealth tax to prevent densely concentrated capital from distorting the market

Oh yeah it’s CD quality on everything and 24/96 on most stuff
You can also send bitstream over it for most pre Blu-ray multichannel formats

FWIW toslink supports up to 125mbps theoretically
Much lower in practice of course, but it’s a bit better than 128k

I am both
I look more like a scaled up person than a conventional tall guy

Yeah, I was gonna say, it kinda needs to have azadirachtin in it by definition.
If someone sells you neem oil that’s lacking, they’re just a con man.
- Comment on Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card 1 week ago:
Well there’s some truth in that it’s not entirely it, the price is reduced because the data they get from tracking your spending habits has a value
They’re not pushing people to these cards for fun

Okay why the fuck is the exact comment I planned to make the only comment that already exists in this thread

Well maybe you shouldn’t be trying to do DTP in a word processor
- Comment on Met announces extra policing for 'Unite the Kingdom' protest in London on Saturday 1 week ago:
And especially given the thugs beat up the literal police last time, they’ll treat all attendees with the same zero tolerance they displayed with the pensioners wearing Palestine action tee shirts …
Right…?
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 week ago:
There are plenty of hobbies where you can happily enjoy it and only ever spend little if anything.
On the other hand, I’ve found it’s pretty uncommon to find a hobby where you can’t optionally fall down an expensive rabbit-hole of some kind, usually around any kind of equipment or tools you might need as part of some hobby.
Thankfully for most hobbies that kind of thing is not required to enjoy it. You don’t need a fancy guitar to enjoy playing; you can read books from the library, you don’t need to collect your own; in most big enough cities (in Europe at least) you don’t even need to own a bike to go for a cycle (though regularly using bike rental schemes might be a sign to just get a bike)

Great views up at the top of the tower
I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 2 weeks ago:
That’s a bit sad
They were kinda little time capsules of various corners of YouTube adjacent internet culture over time
- Comment on should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it? 3 weeks ago:
The point of life is to enjoy it
You seemingly made the choice to make your life less stressful for about the same compensation as you got before for a stressful job.
I don’t think you need to be particularly smart to understand that’s a pretty great trade off. Just from what you’ve written here, I completely understand your reasoning and it makes complete sense to me.
Your colleagues are giving crabs in a bucket energy

Well getting this running on my steam deck has just become one of the top 10 entries on my to-do list
- Comment on How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say? 4 weeks ago:

I guess it’s my turn to say it in a thread:
Best classic roguelike on mobile IMO
I was going to also suggest Downwell but it doesn’t seem to be available any more

Like if they’ve even got a single braincell, why would someone so obviously tell on themselves like this
Truly baffling

- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s not a particularly obscure character in some languages, so it’s not really going to affect an LLM at all, it’ll already know what to do with them.
Heart’s kinda in the right place, but the only outcome is going to be confusion and frustration from humans.
- Comment on GameStop workers say its trade anything day will be a huge mess 5 weeks ago:
Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.
And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not drop miss their targets if they do it during work
