@DontCallMeDebby @CarlsonJustin @HunterBiden That's not pushback. It's an accusation. And honestly? That's brave.

@Jane45533797 @timothy_stanley Other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the show?

@jhallwood Turns out they were looking for a woman accused of theft. Description was "black cocktail dress". I found the aggression utterly amazing, not too mention the obvious fact that every third woman was dressed the same way.

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@jhallwood I was in Vegas in 2017, me and two Americans -husband/wife, reasonably drunk but sitting at some kind of food place off the strip. Two cops grabbed the wife, handcuffed and questioned her against a glass wall as me and husband tried to figure out what was going on.

@ChestnutNjoyer @pieguy1098 @EricRichards22 How often is a grown man sitting in the back seat anyway?

@guidoacasa @rcolvile @CeeElexF I think the PD rules might have changed actually. Or it's not really clear if AC units meet MCS 020; can't remember the exact details but looked confusing when I tried to have it put in.

@usrbinsean @bigseb31213 Russian reserves are ~45x larger than Ukraine. This is not a resource war.

@RokoMijic @bobbybroccs @isnit0 * had a split system quoted

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@RokoMijic @bobbybroccs @isnit0 Is it? Most common seems to be 7k which isn't a big difference.

I feel basically you're talking at cross purposes. It's clearly not optimal, however it was unclear when I had a split system whether recent building regs changes meant split required planning permission.

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@RokoMijic @bobbybroccs @isnit0 Split also required a scaffolding tower, would have meant the wall unit being directly over my desk due to room constraints, and likely only used 4-5 weeks a year.

Seems these portable units are fine for the narrow use case people buy them for.

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@RokoMijic @bobbybroccs @isnit0 This seems to be nonsense. My loft office is ~12°c cooler than it was yesterday. Variable that changed was a 10k BTU portable ac arriving.

@JoshHochschild @mka_ultra PC games? Digital and physical, often same price.

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@JoshHochschild @mka_ultra The publisher is sharing the benefit of an available book with the buyer. That is exactly what we're talking about!

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@JoshHochschild @mka_ultra The choice is either 1) stop selling low vol books; or 2) sell POD versions.

The margin will not be better in 2, it just makes the sale of those books possible at all.

[Benjamin North @bbdnorth]

@JoshHochschild @mka_ultra Argh. What you're comparing is:

1) print run for oop low volume sold books = loss
2) POD for those books, probs small per unit profit. Print cost probably $7 or so, vs $2.50 for print run.

Margin still needs to be shared w/ bookseller, plus overheads.
