They’re trying to fill for profit concentration camps and clog up the courts in order to keep people in there longer and make more money.

There’s a bunch of mobile car diagnostic guys on YouTube who specialize in diagnosing issues that other shops can’t figure out. There’s also local managed service companies who do it for local businesses and install things like cameras. There’s tons of local business opportunities that aren’t completely scummy but they’re usually extremely niche. And yes there’s still engine shops that are extremely busy especially in farming areas where equipment gets repaired instead of thrown away.

I recently paid $120 for 4x8gb 3000 DDR4 RGB DIMMs used on eBay so prices aren’t totally insane just yet. Anything new is out of stock or close to it because DDR5 is/was the norm. It would probably be cheaper to buy server ram if you can get a board and CPU that can use it.

8Gb of ddr4 is $25 usd and 16Gb ddr4 sticks are going for about $75 usd goes up from there depending on speed.

Go to Wikipedia go to the bottom of the page and look at the sources.

On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.

The issue in the US with accepting payments on behalf of sellers is that you have to then collect sales tax which is different for every locality. Then you also have to issue tax forms to the sellers for sales over a certain amount. Which leaves us with sellers collecting payments on their own which means using something like PayPal or Bitcoin. You would just have to have people build trust through reviews and hope for the best. You could base the service in a random other country so that you wouldn’t have a bunch of regulations to deal with and leave all the tax stuff up to the buyers and sellers. You’d probably run into issues with accepting credit cards though.

I believe it’s if you get enough points to lose your license.

eBay/marketplace/etsy alternative.

Not really trustworthy since they could easily have a company pay to have their products in the results plus there’s alternatives and other considerations depending on your buying preference like locally available if you need something today vs a better price.

They do things differently in Utah so I’ve heard

I’ll still go vote in person, just send an empty envelope that says ballot on it or something. Then it wouldn’t fall under the order because it’s not a ballot and not delivering it would be a federal offence.

How are they going to know if it’s a ballot or not? I’ll just send certified mail to my election authority and if it doesn’t get delivered I’ll file a mail fraud complaint and sue the USPS.

I wonder if your friends told him it was a blind date without telling you about it.

At first I had to remove some posts but then I revamped the rules and that really helped. the community has grown into its own thing over time. The most I had to remove was recently due to a spat people were having in the comments. I never have had to ban anyone.

iirc they posted one of the few posts I’ve had to remove from !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world nothing serious, it just wasn’t really appropriate for the com.

Trans people are next. They are trying to bring back psychiatric detention and calling Trans people mentally ill.

They use hundreds of smart phones with data plans.

Let’s say you drive 10k miles per year and you’re getting 20mpg that’s 500gal of fuel per year. If gas is $5/ gal that’s $2500 per year. Let’s say I can get a car that gets 40 miles per gallon. Over ten years I’m saving $12k so I’d need to spend less than $12k on a car in order to save money. Idk what the cost of electric is over the cost of gas but I know that I can’t get an electric car for less than $12k that isn’t going to need an expensive battery replacement in the near future.

Because working from home doesn’t really mean you have to be in your house as long as you’re working. Just like you don’t have to actually eat on your lunch break. If you can’t trust me then why am I still working for you?
