If you have a business like a law firm where it is VERY IMPORTANT that a PDF has certain qualities, free tools for PDF creation can be a big gamble, especially if you have to open a PDF that someone else has created and do changes to it. And the cost is pretty trivial compared to the cost of messing up.

There's a recent podcast talking about this if you're interested - https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/the-man-that-destroyed-google-search

TLDR; they fired the guy largely responsible for building google search and replaced him with the guy running google ads.

Here's a pretty typical american pump: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-shell-station-gas-pump-135764267.html You can select diesel with the green button, which comes out of the green handled hose on the left, but any other option for regular gas (87/89/93 in that picture) comes out of the right hose.

The sound of a teams meeting closing is what triggers mine.

Obviously no countries' courts are sane then, because you have literally described protected "derivative works." See here for definition in the US Code: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101 and see here for the copyright owner owning rights to derivative works (17 U.S. Code § 106 (2): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106

The main issue with Cornell West is that he's not really a politician. He's an amazing scholar, activist, and voice, but doesn't seem to be able to put together a robust campaign. He started on the working families party, I believe, then switched to Green, and has now removed himself from the Green party ticket.

Did you buy a brother instead?

on the bright side, once it's in a playable state after a few patches it will probably be on sale!

Yeah, AMD GPUs work great across the board no matter the CPU.

In an ideal world, yes, we should build our own trains, but personally I think that's putting the cart before the horse. Let's get at least one portion of the track laid and functional before we start imposing more requirements. We can't support an American train building industry without tracks to put those trains. Any investment in infrastructure increases the likelihood that others build on that infrastructure.
