Taxing based on potency would certainly help. At my legal dispensary, prices don't really seem to have any correlation to potency. NY used to have a potency tax, but sadly just replaced it with a flat tax.

Maybe, but it's only really an issue if there's low-prevalence of covid at the moment of testing (bayesian probability). But it's also easy to test multiple times, and often enough the symptoms will confirm it.

How do you know you're being continuously exposed with "small amount"? You don't. You probably haven't been exposed at all, or you're one of the lucky asymptomatic people. For example, I live in a major city, a

Once you've moved the brush around a little bit, it can probably make a basic 3d map of you teeth to do the job.

First time I edited an accepted answer a couple years back (the original answer was pretty much correct, I just fixed a compiling issue and one missing flag that now needed to be set, but not originally), it was quickly rejected with nonsen

These large companies have to deal with large amounts of spam, scammers, and regulations. If you come close to resembling or running afoul of any them, It’s just easier to ban you rather than spend the time and money to see if you’re legit.

I don't think anyone, even the diehardest fans of Apple, thinks that Apple's RAM upgrade prices are reasonable. But we pay it for the same reason that people pay Porsche an extra $10k for a trim package — because you accept the hi

And what is this supposed "cartel" composed of? Advertisers. Yeah, congress "exposed" it, when it's right on their website ( https://wfanet.org/leadership/garm/about-garm ) This is just anot

No, in the same way that all Marathon records are set in only a few marathons which have very favorable conditions.

Blockchain only makes sense for Decentralized uses. DMV records, by their very nature, are the epitome of a centralized authority of knowledge. This is a waste of time, money and CO2.

Actually, the thins screens are higher cost because they are more expensive to make. So it’s not the case that cheaper ones break sooner.

What is it with people that don't spend the extra 5 seconds to properly black out identifying information? I can read half that name without even trying, and could make out the second half in a couple minutes if I cared enough.

I love both museums & shopping, but I also tire of both after about 20-30 minutes. This is why I have memberships to my local museums, I'll pop in for 20-30 minutes at a time and be content, and not feel like I have to "make u

Most of these businesses in the district are tiny, family-owned businesses, so there's a huge amount of implicit trust there. But also, these tiny stones really aren't worth much. What you're asking is like Home Depot making

Rubies for watches are synthetic and super cheap. And the small diamonds are still pretty cheap. He said about $100 per carat of small diamonds. It's not surprising that they're more casual with this inventory.

That metadata was can be terrible for many people like politicians, those having affairs, drug dealers or buyers, those with sensitive healthcare providers, and so on.

Rhodium? It’s used to plate white-gold to make it extra bright (unplated white gold tends to have a yellow tinge). It would be super expensive though. edit: on second look, seems it’s too brittle

I appreciate the advice. My collection is catalogued with what I paid and current-ish fair market values. The future executor will know which handful ones are worth consigning individually and at what galleries, and the rest will likely be

Yeah, I'm really nostalgic for 90s era computer & gaming stuff — turns out, that stuff is pretty expensive right now cause all of us that grew up with it have the disposable income to re-buy it. 30-40 years from now when we're

A few of my pieces are quite desirable and valuable, most of them not. I looked at the numbers, and all together 40-50% of what I paid is the ballpark of today's value, not including any consignment fees.

The sad reality is that you can spend a lifetime collecting something, the but likelihood that any of your potential heirs is also interested in it, is pretty close to zero. That's true of multi-million dollar vintage computers, or you
