The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats
Memo: From Nick Hanauer
To: My Fellow Zillionaires
"the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution."

Pluralistic: Of course we can tax billionaires (15 Oct 2024)
"Billionaires are pretty confident that they can't be taxed – not just that they shouldn't be taxed, but rather, that it is technically impossible to tax the ultra-rich. They're not shy about explaining why, either – and neither is their army of lickspittles."
A good read from Cory Doctorow
Magic blood
Bill Gates made more money after he stopped working than he did when building Microsoft - if this doesn't show you the meaning of "Tax wealth, not work" then you're an actual bot 😆

I'll try again with a different title: Glow In The Dark
To whichever mod didn't bother to check and assumed I was trying to get drugs 🤦
- In fishing, tritium vials are fitted in floats for night time. A couple of mine have died and I'm trying to find somewhere that stocks these. MercadoLivre only had 1 seller but they were in China and won't ship internationally (which makes me wonder why they're advertising?!).
I just can't get any enthusiasm right now
I've been playing for years and really enjoyed the new map at the start of this season but the sprites did nothing for me. Coupled with Simpsons (I do not like the 2D cartoon art style) and this season is a blow out for me: log in, do Dailies, log out.
Ah well, 10 minutes until today's reset...
Tritium vials?
A couple of my tritium vials have expired due to age and I had a look on MercadoLivre but can only find 1 for sale - from China that says it can't ship to Brazil 🤦
Does anyone know a place that sells these?

Pesquisando no Mercado Livre, encontrei estes:
UPS users
The local area sometimes loses power and I'm looking at getting a UPS.
From reading, a pure sine wave unit with over 700W would be a reasonable choice and give enough time to try and save/finish any print in progress.
I'm wondering what other people have spent actual money on, rather than the endless youtube paid-ads!
One of the printers is a Mk2S and the Mk4S has Power Panic but I'll not rely on that.
Computer Uninterruptible Power Supply Units
After a few blips in the local power, I was wondering what everyone uses?
Any recommendations for a dedicated UPS unit?
Latest CPoS
I liked the blade shape, one hand opening and the carabiner. I lost my last cheap folder and pulled this out of a box.
It needs sharpening and the pivot tightening as it opens too easily - with a point this sharp I can see a pocket carry problem!
Decoração
Mandei instalar uma cobertura no meu quintal para transformá-lo em um cômodo. Gostaria de remover a tinta antiga de alvenaria das paredes e pintá-las novamente. Também gostaria de instalar um piso de madeira.
Não quero simplesmente escolher uma empresa qualquer no Google; alguém poderia indicar um profissional ou empresa adequada?
Moro perto da Eternit.
Stop this popping up??
Every time I go to Yahoo mail I get a pop-up asking if I want to add to mailto.
Every time, I click the X because, no I don't.
It's really pissing me off now too.
How do I stop this pop-up?
Choosing a normal bank
I need a proper bank, not an app.
I don't trust Itau because they tried to take money from my NuBank but could explain why - there's no way I'm letting that incompetence near my finances.
I tried Banco do Brasil but couldn't get through the turnstile. I emptied everything I was carrying and the door refused to turn. I tried a different branch and it was the same. I'm trying to open a bank account not enter a secure nuclear plant.
What options does that leave? A bank that isn't going to be a hassle with international transfers (Caixa & NuBank), a bank I can physically enter, a bank that knows why it's trying to take my money? Not keen on Santander or HSBC as they're more interested in sending me to Live Chat than helping (2 hours with no one responding).
Ajuda, tem como consertar isso?
Eu tenho uma gata devoradora de fios de headset. É o quinto cabo do fone de ouvido da Logitech que ela mastiga e estraga.
Gostaria de saber se teria como remendar ou substituir esse cabo.
Imagens:

Gostaria que a empresa também parasse de fabricar cabos tão saborosos para a minha gata, tenho mais 4, mas só ela achou apetitoso.
20 Of The Most Iconic Brazilian Sport Cars From The "Fora De Série Era" Or In English "Out Of World Era"
Those of you who frequent this subreddit or have more knowledge about cars already know these Brazilian car brands, and Brazilian cars
In the past, many sports cars emerged in Brazil for reasons I won't discuss here, but you can probably imagine or know: these sports cars were known as "foras de serie" in Brazil, or in English, the closest translation would be "out of world," due to being exotic cars
I've seen many posts about Brazilian sports cars here, but for some reason, none of them mention that these cars were known as "fora de series," as I said.
So I decided to gather 20 of the most iconic cars from this era and a bonus, the Lobini H1, which is a slightly newer car. Not all are Here, but is already something

Materiais
O que estamos fazendo em relação aos materiais para cabos?
Comprei algumas coisas legais nas minhas viagens e também usei titânio e madeira. Gostaria de saber o que vocês preferem usar e se existem fornecedores confiáveis de materiais.
