Gearing up to get back into business

Due to popular request, a pink version of Gigawatt's hoverboard is now available on both https://t.co/0uDOUrGtpW & my eBay store! This brings the number of color choices up to three!

@Tonysmarkettips The nearest hospital would have been Bellin/Emplify, and they have had a pretty good working relationship with the Packers for years, they basically had special areas set aside just for them. I can totally believe he was back that soon.

@Kaiza_Tenbu I just really, really want a King Atlas out of this mold, I don't much care for the others.

No, an actual migrane is completely different from a headache. When I get them, there is a lot of times there isn't any pain and just like, stroke kinda symptoms. I get double vision, my speech starts slurring, ect. The real problem is when people just call a painful headache a migrane, which is what a lot of people seem to do.

@justmeg Torchic, ride or die.

I found something interesting that I got years ago at a Goodwill Outlet. This is a Linkin Park branded Cowbell that was meant to be given out by the radio station @101wixx in Green Bay. I don't know how or even if they were handed out. If I am reading the tag right, these were made about 1 week before Chester's death, and the band was scheduled to play in Green Bay on August 25th before their tour was canceled, so that would line up with them being made for a giveaway when they would have come to town. I can't seem to find any other data on these, and as far as I know, the whole lot of them might have just been thrown away in the trash. It is an actual cowbell, it can be rung, but it is pretty thin and hollow sounding.

@RohanKarMooN Will the torrents remain the same?

@pipkinpippa @uwutoowo1 Hey, what's your least favorite food? I can get a ton of stocks from that alone

@Safoualo @PicoTheFennec @rubynesoberi Now, just because it can run GBA games natively, I don't quite see how that takes anything away from the decomp. Just because it can run GBA games natively doesn't mean you can leverage dual screens doing that. The decomp is it's own thing.

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

@Safoualo @PicoTheFennec @rubynesoberi The GBA games from the ambassador program actually do run natively. The 3DS basically has the original DS chipset at its disposal, so it can leverage that to run GBA games in the exact same way the original DS did, at a hardware level.

@TFHypeGuy I mean, you could probably kill a man with Motormaster's trailer, that thing is DENSE

@Cukkucake @BiozTheSecond So I wasn't crazy! This whole time seeing pictures I kept thinking, wasn't this either black, or painted black on the inside so in blaster mode it was black?

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

@repkord @antigravity @Shpigford @marsgizmo @joeltelling @CNC_Kitchen @properprinting @cad_class Can this thing handle more complex shapes, and more importantly, can it be ran locally? In my case, I'm trying to make a set of glasses frames that can be edited and printed. Would this be able to make my existing designs parametric?

@TFHypeGuy @TFAdvanced125 That's my annoyance with it. The limbs are a marked improvement over the original voyager, but I feel like the torso looks way worse from the photos so far, like the whole thing is 1 step forward and like half a step back. I'm hoping it will look better to me in person.

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

@RiotControl2501 I really want to like the new one, but I just can't look at it without thinking of this junky figure. I'm hoping the actual transformation will impress me.

@munboy @Accitentially Isn't Walmart Scan and Go still locked behind Walmart Plus?

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

@Tubesmith @TFHypeGuy @TF_Moments My Kingdom copy yellowed horribly, and my Gen Selects has absolutely horrible tolerances. Ferak seems to have been the best overall release of the mold just consistency-wise. Kind of darned if you do, darned if you don't.

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

@CircusWave @TFHypeGuy I always say that we have some of the very best designers we possibly have ever had working on figures, but it just seems like Hasbro as a brand doesn't let them flourish as much as they could.

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

(con't)and then just cross reference the order number. I would have no way of knowing that what number could be checked at any time, so it helped the designer have a sort of built in audit to make sure they were getting what they were owed.

[JRC Design @JRCDesignStore]

It's kind of funny, this was what I did when I licensed designs and sent the spreadsheets every month. I would put the order number on every item of their design that sold, because I figured it would be easy for them to potentially know or have someone else buy something,

Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.

The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.

So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.

Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.

Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.

The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.

Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.

@cryptidarling @Moth865 I don't hate it, but the whole art style just makes me feel kind of uneasy, and somewhat confused, you know? There aren't many other games I know as well as Link's Awakening, and even ignoring the odd lack of analog control and being unable to use the dpad, it just felt wrong.
