"Attention Bajoran workers" energy.

Worse than that; if you have flexible ethics, there are some easy ways to make money while being an idiot.

My wife and I wondered if there was a way to fixup houses and sell them in a way that actually did quality work while netting a decent profit to be worth the time and effort. Our conclusion was that while you might be able to find an opportunity here or there, it would only be enough for occasional side income. If you wanted to make it a job and have piles of money, you almost have to cut all the corners to make it profitable at all. Shitty house flippers have flooded the supply, and it's created a Market for Lemons situation where buyers have to assume it's done badly and price it accordingly.

As a radical centrist, I must find any possible reason that someone would stick an obvious dogwhistle in their name besides being a Nazi. We can't just go assuming the blatantly obvious.

Trump does everything based on the last thing he heard from someone who stated it confidently.

If only Biden had ignored all checks and balances the way Trump is. That's what we're actually asking for here, right?

It's not necessarily about changing anything. It's a matter of safety for those visiting.

It's also quality of the tape and how we used it. You could buy a tape and use it for 2, 4, or 6 hours with a tradeoff in quality. Blank tapes were rather expensive, so we all used 6 hours and then copied from there.

Commercially produced VHS tapes also tended to be higher quality than blank tapes, unless you went out of your way to buy the quality ones.

Somewhat different issue there. JPEG compression is lossy. It doesn't happen on a BMP. Though you can probably link the two up with underlying information theory.

I second this.

People used to enjoy anime and MST3k episodes on fifth generation VHS copies. Crypto is worse than that.
