Yes, and a lot of movies on DVDs cost $10-15

When DVDs were new, a new release around me would often be more like $25-30. Boxed sets would often be $50+. Of late 90s/early 2000's money, so $30 back then is like $55+ today.

I own lots of DVD's. DVD day was my jam. Most new releases were 20. Sometimes if they were some sort of special collectors edition they would be 25. Then usually after a few months on the shelf they would come down to 15-18. After that the bargain bin. Bluray/HD started around 25-30 when they came out. Box sets were usually like you say 50+ some as much as 200.

Nearly every single individual DVD movie is less than $5 on ebay right now.

Streaming will never have a secondhand market.


How many of those dvds are too scratched though? That would be like half of the blockbuster dvds we’d get. Even tried playing a dvd again at my folks and hit an unskippable scratch I couldn’t even see on the disc.

Who claims that he is speaking the truth and not some marketing jargon?

Also the Mount Forest Island [0] in the Palos area of Chicago! This used to be an ancient island. It's also not far from Site A/Plot M Disposal Site [1] which contains buried radioactive waste from Chicago Pile 1/2/3 nuclear reactors and first home of Argonne National Laboratory [2].

New Amazon trucks are built by Rivian.


I saw a Rivian mobile service van for the first time about two weeks ago. I was behind it in traffic. It’s exactly the same design as Amazon, just different paint.

All I could think of was “they repainted an Amazon van“.

I know Rivian makes them all. But seeing so many Amazon vans has changed who “owns“ the design in my mind.


Especially reusable and designed to be kept. We still have 30+ year old Legos in our household. Those bricks have paid for themselves.


I second that. It's honestly simple. You assign roles (bundling of individual API call permissions) to cloud identities to resources.


Too bad the maintainer stopped responding to or accepting pull requests…lot of PRs open for 10 years, including mine


Pick a slight variation on the name, look through the unmerged upstream PRs to find some "obviously good" ones (or to fix other deficiencies you noticed personally), merge them to your fork, and who knows ... your fork might become the next popular home of the project!


Unless you're pushing to the same GitHub account / group, you don't even have to change the name.


Did you consider maintaining a fork? Because it looks nice indeed.


Yep, it's pretty universal in the US. You insulate the attic floor (ceiling of your rooms). This also means that you need to keep your attic cold. You do that by letting air in from your soffit vents to either ridge or gable vent. Ridge vent is arguably better because it runs along the right of your roof allowing the air to travel between the trusses that holds your roof up.


"farmhouse chic"


Chicago area comes to my mind
