I had the Magnavox 8CM515 which was basically the same, and the front power switch burnt out – repair guy just shorted it, saying it was next to impossible to find a replacement… used that monitor on a CoCo-III, Atari STfm and an MM/1, wonderful RGB monitor for its time.

Add a removable battery, make sure it has a headphone jack and can be fully unlocked/rooted and I’ll buy 3 right bloody now.

Document it well enough to run real Linux and I’ll shout about it from the street like a crazy person for free advertising.

You know, ten bucks is ten bucks.

Thank you for the info.

Paywalled, can’t read it.

Does this mean I would pay taxes just for holding US securities (eg., stocks in US companies)? Or only when selling? Does it make any difference which brokers are used?

Agreed. I got to see him speak once years ago, wonderful lecture on the nature of creativity, lateral thinking, and just… stuff. Hard to describe, but just excellent.

I heard the owner of a local cafe a few years ago complaining about how “he couldn’t find any good workers” … I asked the girl across the counter later if she was willing to state how much she was paid. Minimum wage. Approximately half of what the local government officially acknowledges what a living wage is here to afford a one-bedroom apartment.

If your business can’t afford to pay your employees enough to feed, clothe and house themselves with a full-time position, then your business isn’t viable. Period.

There’s another post stating the exact opposite in my lemmy ‘new’ feed here today… so which is it?

Agreed… that’s why I posted it, not in any way to support it. I’m fine with the post being downvoted into oblivion; but Canadians need to know this stuff is out there and people are unfortunately viewing it.

Reminds me of the mainframe in “The Desk Set”.

Would a honeypot community help, where anyone visiting a post there gets blocked or tarpitted?

It’s not the EU, or anyone outside of Russia, who would ‘unleash WWIII’. It’s the aggressor’s choice, since they started ALL of this, whether that occurs. They could definitively stop this RIGHT NOW by just telling their troops to go home.

He is right. No other nation with self-respect should be granting any state visit from the FOTUS (Felon Of The United States). He is an adversary to us all and should be shunned on the international stage, period.

Tell your US Embassy representatives that you will be happy to reconsider engaging once the leadership has changed.

I do not assert that merely swallowing water with fluoride offers any benefit to do with dental health.

It should be obvious that the act of directly swallowing water containing fluoride would give the water little to no opportunity to interact with one’s teeth, which would be required for the intended preventative effect.

This is very similar to the decision by most nations to put low base levels of iodine in table salt. Given peoples’ daily habits and diet, it was determined to be a safe and reliable way of ensuring exposure to a needed substance for general health. Not everyone has or will have the discipline to apply fluoridated paste to their teeth regularly (hell, many people don’t even brush their teeth regularly!). Nor would many people take steps to ensure they had a recommended dose of iodine if they had to think about it, rather than just getting it through their daily meal …

It should be clear to anyone that it’s the incidental daily, weekly, monthly, yearly cumulative effect of fluoridated water, even in the brief interval before it is swallowed, swishing in the mouth and in direct contact with teeth, that can be of benefit.

Explain to me the science of how municipal fluoridation causes health issues so severe that it should be discontinued.

This is even more nuts than removing fluoride from municipal water systems. At least with that, parents who believe the science that their kids’ teeth will be better off with targeted fluoride treatment can buy the drops and tablets, and those who are afraid for some reason can choose to just not use it.

This is just trying to ban access to fluoride entirely, despite research showing its benefits and the distinct lack of significant harm. Madness.

What next, are they going to criminalize sending fluoride drops/pills through the mail, like mifepristone?

Calgary, AB Canada removed fluoride and a decade later added it back after seeing the effects of its absence.

Now leader singer of Styx as well. I hope I can see them before they all retire, missed seeing Gowan doing his solo material when I was younger…

Beat me to it. Anand Giridharadas has spoken on the general scam of billionaires white-washing their legacies like this… their philanthropy seldom approaches, much less exceeds, the harm they did in getting so rich in the first place.

At some point they risk re-enacting that scene with the little girl in “V for Vendetta” where the people have finally had enough with the brownshirts and swarm them. As they deserve IMO.
