you used literally incorrectly. I kept my books from college. they sit on my shelves with all the books I've collected. why? because peer reviewed reference material is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the Internet. it may be out of date in some cases, but it does give you a path to find exactly what you're looking for.
so what if you get rid of your textbooks? that's the whole point. what happens to your textbook after you have discarded it?
someone else picks it up.
I can hear the whine now, "what if I throw it in the trash?" maybe don't? maybe donate the book to your local library and they can give it to someone who needs it. maybe leave it on a bench on campus with a "free" post-it stuck on it? but even if you throw it in the trash, your garbage goes overseas where someone else might pick it up. the potential reuse of a physical book and the impact to our world is far greater than any environmental impacts. it's not toxic waste, it's a fucking book.
your argument that you're "saving the environment" is just preposterous. it has the same energy as the fools who think using paper straws over plastic is making any dent in environmental impacts. news flash, it makes negligible difference in plastic pollution while the oil and plastic companies continue to do more harm to the environment than any subset of humanity ever has based entirely on their manufacturing processes alone.
the only true crime are the publishers that print books without bindings. but those really can't be called books then, can they? don't like it? stage a protest, since you seem so passionate about saving the environment.
I don't think you grasped the danger in a subscription based publishing model.
you don't get to read the book unless you pay the monthly fee. you stop paying, you stop reading.
you don't lend the book, you don't borrow the book, you don't copy the book...because there is no book.
so how do the disenfranchised or poor gain access to knowledge outside their means? today, there are libraries. what happens if all those physical books are replaced with digital? worse yet, what happens when publishers con libraries with digital media? (you can't fool the librarians, but any dumbass politician will eat a shit pie for optics).
point is, there is permanence in physical media that makes ownership crystal clear. our society is not ready for a digital era, and if we prematurely enter it without appropriate laws and guidance in place, we will only be encouraging a plutocracy to form, one of which we can already clearly see forming today.
I would ask if you're fine with books becoming subscription based commodities.
I would hope your answer is no.
We both know you don't read past the headlines though, so your opinion on this matter is as limited as your understanding of the topic.
I agree, creators should be paid, but libraries should be a protected branch of society. one day when capitalism forces a subscription pattern to books and locks knowledge behind paywalls, those libraries will be the only salvation for the disenfranchised masses.
but...we are the great filter.
always have been. go ask the 700+ species that humans have forced to extinction.
don't worry though, humans won't be hunted to extinction. we'll starve or die from exposure way before that happens.
there it is people.
the most retarded take on this event that you'll ever read. even more retarded than the event itself.
idiot.
thanks for the heads up and I'll definitely will keep that in mind when I'm looking.
If I can't find wfh work, I'll focus my efforts on building/supporting software developer unions while working construction. rather be outside and be miserable than inside and miserable.
only Mr Krabs, and as long as that damned sponge isn't around.
I'll be looking for work in about 3 months and my hard line is wfh.
I will never work in an office with people again.
I don't think many can taste the sarcasm in your comment, but you're spot on.
no, but not for why you think.
because it's far more effective to scan samples from you than whole organs.
don't act ignorant you insufferable twit. I've seen your post history.
fuck off and troll somewhere else.
you take it out of context. white as in "pumpkin spice latte".
that psychopath was the definition of "angry racist white dude with a gun".
on top of it all, the crime was racially motivated because he showed up to a BLM protest with an assault gun.
if he had been there to support the protest, he would have come unarmed. but he didn't, did he? he went there to murder innocent civilians.
In another text, Rittenhouse sent: “I wish they would come into my house,” adding, “I will fucking murder them.”
in summary, he is a white racist irredeemable piece of shit that deserves life in prison where he can be a nice prison wife, because even the Nazis in prison would make him their weak ass bitch.
they mater now
what if Rosanne is a vampire, and wants us to destabilize the government because Trump will fund spaceforce, which finds the Nazi Space Vampires on the moon bases from WWII and brings them back to earth?
I'm just asking questions here!
unless something really bad happens in the country, wouldnt it be impossible to put someone in prison for breaking a law that didnt exist you did the action?
yeesh, this'll age like rotten eggs.
I wish you the best of luck when your health insurance rejects your life saving operation because, "you were informed of your genetic predisposition to x and did not take preventative actions for n years."
while you're dealing with your own mortality, you'll also be coming to terms with your own ignorance that put you in that situation.
but don't worry, you're young, you'll live forever.
I always knew he was a piece of shit because of how white he is and how much support fox gave him. -- cynical man
as a full stack dev, everything you said has offended me.
port 20 is used for FTP, unless you were using FTP, then go right ahead. Guessing that since you didn't know the protocol you were not using FTP.
port usage reservations are incredibly important to ensure that the system is running within spec and secure. imagine each interface like a party telephone line and the ports are time slots.
your neighborhood has reserved specific times (ports) for everyone to call their relatives. if you use the phone not in your slot (port) your neighbors might get pissed off enough to interrupt your slot. and then it's just chaos from there.
