The Phantom VI (the Phantom available in 1980) cost nearly nearly half a million pounds new. The Silver Spirit (or Spur depending on where you were) is probably the rolls you are thinking of, and it had a MSRP of a little over $100k new.

According to the CPI inflation calculator the Phantom would be about $1.4 million today, and the Silver Spirit would be about $334k.

This year’s phantom starts at around half a million but (IMO) it’s more of a “luxury car” compared to the ultra high end Phantom VI. But I think the Phantom is less of a car you buy and more of a modular platform you build your car on top of so I imagine there’s so multimillion dollar phantoms rolling (hehe) around

They aren’t fool proof, and relatively easy to detect from the source.

I feel like without oil the middle East would be like northern Africa. No real natural resources to kickstart an economy leading to seemingly perpetual poverty.

Ah you see, I’ve found a flaw in your plan! If they dont make unimaginable amounts of money how can they give the US president a $400m jet as a bribe gift???

Yeah but how would shell and the Saudi royal family make unimaginable amounts of money if we move to renewables??? I bet you didnt think of that liburul

Perfect is the enemy of progress

I disagree with the other person, rsync + ssh is faster even in my own benchmarks. But samba is plenty fast enough these days, I can easily have it max out my gigabit network so I don’t need anything faster. So for me (and I would guess the majority of people) speed really isn’t a concern anymore, so I use samba because it’s easy to use and it makes sharing network folders to anything else a breeze.

It’s like phones. Yeah technically the newest iPhone is faster than this years budget Samsung. But when’s the last time your phone was actually a bottleneck? (Unless you’re one of those people who play games, in which case, actually please respond cause I could use some really nice idle city builders for my phone pls)

Call of duty: first person shooter

Doom 1993: first person shooter

They are essentially the same game!

I wanna know who refactored all of the fucks out of 4.18

Yeah I don’t know when this tweet is from but I imagine that it’s talking about the 50501 protests. Which the NY times covered extensively.

Hell right now there’s a half dozen articles on their homepage. Or if you don’t want that here’s an article, and Another article.

Then again, literally every single time I’ve seen a comment like this online talking about “nobody is talking about this!!!” every single major newspaper has multiple articles about it. I don’t know why people keep falling for this when it’s the easiest thing on earth to prove. Like guys, just Google the thing “”“nobody”“” is talking about.

DnD is also a game that utilizes table rules pretty much all the time. It’s possible that his DM gave more flexible rules, I know my DM will if you have a convincing argument.

But also, buddy definitely says “you’re one of the good ones” to his black coworkers

Sure, if you narrow your view to literally only what is in front of you. But everyrhing has gotten cheaper, duller, less colorful, and just clearly designed for nothing but extracting capital.

Yes, you’re right, we shouldn’t be advertising that crap to children. But I would like to buy a car with an actual color painted on it, or have a house with actual character, or pay for services that actually work because at least someone behind the scenes actually cares. I feel like we’ve just lost all soul in society and it shows up in all sorts of places you wouldnt expect.

Places like how were all more lonely than anytime in history even though there’s more people than ever, or how people are so scared all the time even though we live in the safest time in the last 150 years, or how people seem to just be angry and have less patience in public any more.

McDonald’s is just an easy target because of how shocking their change has been, and how ubiquitous these changes have been.

And the crappy wood ones are so expensive! I was at Ikea and all of their dressers were like $250-$500 or more!

Tbh, I don’t care what the “intent” was. Swinging an animal by its feet into a wall because it stole your chips is an entirely inappropriate response.

Like if you kicked a dog in the head because it peed in your lawn. It’s a disgusting and very much non-proportional response.

No but brutally killing an animal in public in front of children is.

Haha unfortunately the music on YouTube is not especially well managed. Ive been using YouTube for music for a long time so a lot of my music is uploaded by Vevo or “{Artist} - Topic” and stuff like that. Plus (IIRC) YouTube music doesn’t give things like what album a song is from or when it was released

They also have a bunch of integrations already built in! I use Cloudflare so all you gotta do is throw an API key into the config file and it does the rest. Which is nice cause DNS records can take some time to propagate

Yeah I am using yt-dlp to download the music, and I can set that on a cronjob no problem.

I am specifically asking for better downloading (I don’t want just the raw YouTube title most of the time), album art, and ID3 tagging. But that beets.io thing looks super cool! I might integrate that into my existing python scripting instead of trying to build it all out myself

I thought about using the 5 year charts, but I decided against it because that would include things from the initial COVID lockdowns and I felt that skewed results. But the NASDAQ is up significantly from this time 5 years ago

I know the NASDAQ doesn’t mean much to the normal folks but to the people in charge that is “the economy”

Did you read me whole comment or just react?
