Koss. Used the kph30i with inline mic as a teaching assistant when everything was remote. The porta pro has a version with a mic. I don’t think you can get anything that sounds anywhere close to as good for the price range.

Cooperatives are the best answer. Capitalists will argue they should outcompete traditional firms in the market. If they’re supposed to be better they’d win, right? But the thing is they’re only better for most people… and not the few richest that benefit the most from the current capitalist system. And everyone’s too damn brainwashed to understand private ownership of the means of production is the root cause of so many problems. But let’s just regulate capitalism.

If cooperatives goal is to provide for its members and community while a traditional firms goal is profit maximization, regulation fixes nothing.

Turns out its actually cooperation and not competition that breeds innovation. Capitalist firms artificially simulate this internally. I think it was Lowes that tried to run its departments through competition by pitting them against each other and the business nearly went under. Not to mention a lot of innovation ultimately comes from socialist funding of research in universitiese (eg iPhones, mobile phones and their networking, aerospace engineering, advances in pharmaceuticals, etc).

There was one time I was sleeping and my ex’s dog woke me up barking. It really startled me, like I was actually terrified, and without thinking, literally tackled the dog. Always thought I was a runner, but might end up attacking the mummy.

Its modeled after a cooperative.

Its arguably true though. The general wealth the west experiences either comes or came at the expense of the global south. Its also like a main criticism of capitalism. Business owners, ceos, landlords, those with capital, literally generate more wealth at the expense of others.

Most people in the states can barely reach their feet. They have a special bench in their house for putting their shoes on, but they have to make sure they do a proper warmup routine, chair yoga, before else they’ll pull something. Putting their shoes on is like the most exercise they’ll ever get in a day. Too stubborn to admit they need their own handicap parking permit after they stole the one they use from their aging mothers. They take an ultralight backpacking camp chair for the two story elevator ride at work. They can’t be expected to take off their shoes until they have to take their once weekly shower.

Wait is this how you get up to date when your system is past long term support? Had trouble updating once and couldn’t find an answer.

Didn’t properly backup my data and lost a couple years of work doing a fresh install (school work and personal projects). Would not recommend doing backups drunk. Would recommend backing up your data regularly.

I think the issue is offspring has an increased likelihood of genetic defects. So its kind of probably always been taboo. Like since humanity’s inception.

I’m well aware. The point is how the capitalist press was used to lie to the american people furthering their agenda and suppressing freely elected socialist leaders. It answered your question, and this particular instance wasn’t revealed as fact until some 35-40 years later. There’s plenty more examples like it.

That’s disappointing… I’ll give you one example then. I’ll try to keep it short. Democratically elected socialist, Salvador Allende, was overthrown with help from Nixon, Kissenger, and the CIA using the media to influence public opinion in the 70s. Allende wanted to nationalize Chile’s resources like its copper mines which at the time were owned by US companies.

Here’s an answer if you’re willing to watch a 20 min video.

I think its hard to argue against cooperatives. They have a good track record, are member owned, and democratically controlled. Its a form of stateless socialism and a great place to start handing the means of production over to the proletariat.

Ive found alternativeto.net pretty useful.

Capitalism encourages narcissism. It strives on it. Corporations themselves are narcissistic entities. A system not built on individualism and greed would help.

What id call modern democratic socialism makes use of cooperative economics. Both state run and stateless socialism (cooperatives) have already proven just, fair, equitable, sustainable, innovative …

The way they insert IVs. Your veins don’t run perpendicular.

Why not just make your own electric car? You only need to be an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, and have access to large industrial tooling. Basically. How hard could it be? Just watch some YouTube videos.

I was pretty dissapointed in the p14s gen 2 build quality considering thinkpads reputation and past quality. I returned this due to potential hardware issues, but it could have been an amdgpu driver on linux or lenovo bios issue. I got the T14 gen 3 for the magnesium bottom chassis but build quality was actually worse. In any case, if I were you, I’d consider the T14s which supposedly uses more premium materials. Lenovo laptops are confusing… But pretty sure these are also supposed to have better battery life. Although they aren’t upgradable.

There’s also a few laptop brands built specifically for Linux. I’m aware of system 76, framework, and tuxedo. You could look into these as well.

Anyone tried lisp? Looks something like this. ((()))()())))
