A ton of things that come by sea doesn’t matter much on time. Think about steel and vehicles and raw goods and all the other stuff that isn’t direct to consumer. A month or so isn’t a big deal in many cases.

The problem is that if my math checks out and what is written in the article is true, then this sail boats capacity is less than 1/4 of a single percent of the bigger fuel powered ships. You’d have to make and sail another 500 just to equal the capacity of 1 normal cargo ship.

" (The capacity of the ship, however, is much smaller than the largest modern container ships, which can hold more than 20,000 shipping containers; Anemos can carry around 1,000 tons of cargo on pallets.)"

Thanks for the crap comparison. Why would you use two different descriptions of cargo capacity that most readers could only vaguely compare?

I looked it up, and for the benefit of everyone else: it seems a fully loaded shipping container can weigh over 30 tons.

In other words, the sailboat can carry about 30 shipping containers worth of cargo. This is a lot less than I initially would have thought. A whole lot less. If the big fossil fuel cargo ships can do 20,000 loaded containers, that would mean the sailboat can only do what could practically be a rounding error. 0.15%

You went off to a different country and things are much different.

In the US, generally, parents by retirement age have paid for their homes by then, have retired with benefits from their employer that will give them some money every month, have social security that also pays them every month (both of these are taken out of each paycheck throughout their career lives) and don’t have many bills.

So by the time they’re old, if they were responsible and held ok jobs, they should need money less than you need it. Our US system is basically set up to make you work hard for 40 ish years and then you’re taken care of when you’re old, for the most part. If your parents need money and you have money to give, there’s nothing wrong or against it. It’s still a common thing. But ideally, doing that shouldn’t be needed.

Mario kart is still a thing. I absolutely hate the not actually random item drops, though. Getting punished for being in the lead is lame.

GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.

Don’t worry, OP. Samsung makes absolute dog shit appliances, so you’ll be replacing that dishwasher sometime in the next 2 years anyways.

Yes, but no one dies if they get pushed back 2 weeks. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are first on the chopping block.

And again, it’s supply and demand. The hospitals want the profit. They don’t want to pay any overhead for the product.

Look at how they’re willing to act in order to attract millions of 12 year old viewers. You can’t fake act being that stupid and emotional for that many hours pretty much every day unless you’re fucked up in the head.

Blood is just as bad, but yes, the markup is insane in the US, compared to the machinery and time to collect plasma.

Blood, for instance gets sold by the red cross to hospitals for around $215 per unit. Hospitals in turn will charge anywhere from $580 to $3,000 for it.

Also, most blood is used for elective surgeries that are not life critical. Any time you hear about their being a blood shortage that could effect what hospitals can give, what they actually mean is that there’s plenty for emergency and necessary use, but they may have to postpone elective and cosmetic surgeries.

Obviously, the issue would be solved easily by paying people enough to be worth it to donate. People would be lining up if they got something like $100 to donate a pint. Something that only takes about 30 minutes to do.

I’d say magneto just found a gray area, since he didn’t “wield” it with his body.

Call it a gray area, since he can’t pick it up with his body. Guess Odin didn’t factor that one in.

It’s an Enchantment written onto the hammer by Odin.

So basically, it’s the will of the God Odin, instilled upon the hammer.

Magneto controls the hammer in Super-Villain Team up issue #14.

Now go to bed.

You can, but it’s a lot of number crunching time to convert a bunch of files like that, as opposed to just using a different player.

Thankfully, vlc’s audio offset function is very easy to quickly adjust and save. As long as the audio delay is consistent you can adjust it pretty quickly.

Oh. This is /technology. I thought pants were about to go way up in price for a second.

Wow. 1000? I subscribe to like 10. Lol

I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it’s worked fine since then. Afraid I don’t remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it’s been problem free for me.

Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don’t buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let’s you download vids.

What you really want is to just be like “fuck it” and 4 of you all or less just fly to Vegas for the weekend and do dumb stuff.
