    Very few people do, that’s certainly true.

    I hunt for a large percentage of the meat I consume, and I use every part of the animal I can. Can’t eat hide, horns, hooves, or feathers, and nuero tissue is inadvisable. But nearly everything else gets used in my house, including organs and bones.




  • I know this is a privacy community, but I’m not sure I’m onboard with the outrage on this particular one. If you rent/lease or go on a payment plan for the device you’re using, then it isn’t yours, it belongs to the entity you borrowed it from.

    If I don’t make car payments, the bank can repossess my ride. If I dont pay my mortgage or rent, I can be evicted by my landlord or bank.

    If I don’t make my phone payment, the company should have recourse to prevent me from using their device.

    This could open up the ability for bad actors to disable my device, and I agree that’s a horrible prospect. But the idea of a legitimate creditor using this feature to reclaim their property is not something I find shocking.


  • I’m betting they’re selling plenty of product bulk to businesses. Lots of commercial installations are going in, and they probably represent nearly all the revenue for Ubiquiti. The small business or home users just aren’t as important to their bottom line. Would they prefer to have enough stock for everyone? Yes. But they’re still creating revenue by prioritizing their biggest customer base.









  • Honest question, I’m not sure I understand why people are hung up on physical headphone jacks, what am I missing?

    A few years ago it was a bummer because I didn’t have good wireless headphones, but at this point decent BT headphones are pretty cheap, and great ones are available. Even cheap BT buds have extraordinary battery life if you know what to look for.

    Removing the jack contributed to better water resistance in phones, which has saved my family and friends thousands in replacements.

    As far as audio quality, I admit that I reach for a set of wired headphones when I need something to sound amazing, or to eliminate delay while gaming. The wired or wireless audio quality in mobile phones is nearly universally poor unless you use an external DAC (which negates the cost argument) or buy the one or two models built for audiophiles (also negating the cost argument). Also, I don’t seriously game on my phone, so no worries about delay there.

    Is this argument a meme at this point, or am I actually missing out?


  • The things that are capped no longer produce (as much) profit, so food suppliers move to items that do bring in profit. Uncapped goods are now more desirable, and the suppliers increase prices to try to make up for the shortfall caused by price controls, making uncapped items even more expensive.

    Government intervention like price controls always makes things more expensive, it’s just a question of where that expense is spread to.
