Sounds like it'd be easier to just run your slideshow in a window and share that window. PowerPoint and Keynote can both do that. Bonus to sharing only a window - you never accidentally show something you didn't want to, like tha

In most markets (ie. not right now in a huge run-up), house flippers are generally good for a neighborhood. They buy run down, neglected, and under-market houses, fix them up to at-market condition, then sell them. Oh, and they pay taxes on

> which accidentally caused a major kink in the global supply chain Nope - you don’t get to blame a new problem on a 20+ yr old regulation. Changing this will likely help in the short term, but it’s not the cause of the problem.

Let’s be honest - you didn’t want to edit the pdf on your iPad. I say that because if you wanted to, or it’s something you need to do even once in a while, there are dozens (hundreds?) of serviceable pdf editors for iPadOS. There are even m

I think it's largely the power that unions have here once established. For recent examples, one can look at the spate of news about union crane operators at the ports of LA and Long Beach, but there are a ton of them. Large unions beco

It's all good to blame the private companies like Intuit here, but what really needs to happen is that the politicians and bureaucrats who took their money need to be outed. A market will always have rent seekers, and people will alway

The big advantage to wood though, is that while it's growing it's a carbon sink, and once hardened that carbon is likely stored forever.

Because for a bike it's much simpler - make the tire solid, or a reasonably solid foam, and you're done. These have been available for years - look at Tannus for a good example.
