Have you considered incorporating orgmode plugin with Neovim? [https://github.com/nvim-orgmode]


The same could be said of any worldview. So tell me—what part of UNESCO’s decision to admit the “State of Palestine” as a Member State strikes you as objectively righteous?


I didn't say I thought it was objectively righteous. I didn't say anything about my worldview.

It seems objective that many civilians have been killed and a lot of land stolen.

But my point is that things that seem objective to one group of people might be objectively false to another group.

Which isn't to say that there is no real truth. Just that the premises people hold are so different that the worlds are not compatible.


"...a lot of land stolen" let me just say that your limited understanding is painful.


Can you explain? I'm going to ignore your arrogant decision because I am genuinely curious. What is it about Israeli "settlements" that makes it different from stealing land?


Only in a morally inverted world is a nation blamed for keeping land it took while fending off an attack.


What is new

rocks.nvim installation

snacks.picker support

blink.cmp support

healthcheck module

minimal reproduce script

self-documenting Makefile

many bug fixes from the community

What is planned: The eventual goal would be you only specify the short url to this plugin and a workspace on a brand new machine and get seamless experience without extra steps.

A builtin LSP server, phasing out builtin completion sources https://github.com/obsidian-nvim/obsidian.nvim/pull/52

Better coordination with render plugins like render-markdown.nvim markview.nvim, and eventually phase out builtin ui module once the planned neovim native presentation mode lands

Phase out reliance on plenary.nvim and rg

A simple fallback picker UI, so that no picker is required

Better support for Non-English characters A todo task system Moreeeeeee tests https://github.com/obsidian-nvim/obsidian.nvim/issues/53

I frankly don't understand how the acquisition of Bucherer (retailer) aligns with Rolex being a non-profit.


Rolex is a for-profit company. It happens to be owned by a charitable trust.

Now the charitable trust owns a for-profit company with (another) for-profit subsidiary.


I realize. Which is why I am puzzled by the acquisition of a retailer. What I mean by that is that a retailer that has such financial backing can destroy the watch luxury retail market.


Rolex has had issues for decades with authorized dealers who leverage potential buyers into buying other items, just to have a chance at buying the Rolex they want. Also dealers who sell high demand watches to friends or known resellers. A year ago if you could get a 126710BLRO on a jubilee you would pay around $14,000 after taxes, but could resell for $23,000 to gray market dealers. The prices have come down a lot, but you can still make around $6,000 if you can take delivery of this watch.

These games have hurt the brand, and Rolex is changing the game by buying a luxury retail chain that will likely specialize in getting the right watch to the right person and cut the gray market guys out. That along with their new secondary market for pre-owned Rolexs. It’s a brave move, and a lot of third party “investors” will likely lose a good deal of paper profits when the prices stabilize.


Rolex wants a cut of the second-hand luxury watch market and a leverage in negotiations with Watches of Switzerland and other retailers.


Rolex simply wants to further their control over their brand. There has been a feeling for some time that authorized Rolex retailers, by poor customer service and unauthorized practices have diminished the brand's value. By extending their reach into retail, Rolex can standardize and control customer service, reduce the unwanted stories of customers being treated poorly, and as a side benefit, control the signage, display and presentation at their retailer. It's a smart move.


Starbucks didn’t destroy Indy coffee shops and Amazon hasn’t killed bookshops (at least not in major metros).

There is always going to be space for luxury watch dealers, especially since they’re often based on long term relationships and sometimes the place that sold you a Swiss watch also sold you your wife’s (or husband’s) wedding ring.



I will never trust Chinese electric cars for the very same reason China banned Teslas from certain areas in that country. The cars are equipped with cameras and other data gathering tech that can be coopted for different types of intelligence gathering.


This is nuts!



The process of extracting the oil from the ground as well the refining process are major contributors


As is the process of farming coca and marijuana plants and then harvesting and processing them. Going after supply or demand directly only made things worse there.
