"... The loan agreement has expired and the items are being returned (in May) to the owner which is standard museum practice for any loan.

None of these objects are leaving the Smithsonian.”

Wut? I feel like that last line is an error.

Whoa, now that raised an eyebrow. Doesn't look like the truck bed is ridiculously high. This checks a lot of boxes, and my crap vertebrae agree.

Definitely following this company.

I wonder if this could be a gateway case to open up Rwanda as a new extreme prison deportation destination? Two Rwanda articles in one week?

It'd be a shame is spammers got a hold of this message to blast all of America.

Muhaha!

Oh, they are over designed and have all the "safety" possible. They commandeered an entire lane, divided with cement curbs, built bus islands just after intersections so busses no longer pull over but block traffic on green lights, all on a main artery serving thousands of residents.

And I can walk to that street, any time of day, take a pic with my largest telephoto lens and the entire lane will be void of bikes. It cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and sits entirely wasted space.

How about returning everyone who didn't have due process? Ya'know, something something fucking human rights and all that yabba. Sheesh.

It's easy, you do a budget.

Take the value of the product ($300) and log time, materials, and expenses of this project from start to upload. Add video revenue and calculate how much he made hourly, and how many contracts he needs a month to cover cost of living, savings, and retirement.

Then realize, as fun as it is, don't quit your day job.

Ah! It's a 2012! I was off a tad.

Anyways, it's a Mac Pro 2.3Ghz i7, 16G ram, 2TB drive, with an internal bluray drive.

Had certainly served me well over the decade.

You got a bunch of friends there. Cool. But do you have respect 'cuz you haven't written about that.

I won't pretend to know your situation because it varies wildly, but one group vetting your social connections is generally a red flag in my books. Lots of friends doesn't work for everyone and it's not an autistic thing, but an introvert thing. I have very few, amazing friends and it's the perfect balance for me.

I'd put a stop to the offensive behavior either way. Next time look them straight in the eye and say: 🤷"Hey, where's the respect?" You'll get your answer one way or another.

Built a gaming PC last year and a mini computer arrived last month riiiiight before tariffs kicked in. I think I'm good for the next 4 years at least. My daily driver laptop was built in 2011 so I'm used to hanging onto tech for a while!

I made that argument to my city almost a decade ago. I dug deep in our city traffic design and planning documentation to find bike lanes were the excuse to choke vehicle traffic. Their measure of success is a reduction of vehicle miles driven. It's not actually about safety, walkability, or bikes; we have all that already. It's about making driving undesirable. So we have 400 miles of empty bike lanes now and unpredictable congestion. Slow clap

There's no point presenting a logical argument to someone with an agenda.

First of all, thanks mods for your work. I know spam sucks and ain't easy.

I'm new to this lemmy thing, but there seem to be a few bots out there that may be able to help or ban spammers.

Could we maybe look into that and automatically suspend/ban posts that link to amazon? That would seen to put an obstical in this kickback scam going on.

Just an idea.
