Millions marched for women's rights, millions marched for gay rights, millions marched for voters rights, millions marched for democracy.
Now this desperate man called for protest, and what did he get? Thousands.
It's a tough moment for our nation, but I am reassured. First the people, then the courts, then the states, now congress and the Vice President have all repudiated Trump's dictatorial aspirations.
I have heard hardcore audio nerds say "he doesn't"... Specifically in regard to that blog post. But these are mostly the same people who pay $bignum per meter for crap like silver plated oxygen free 3mm^2 speaker cable, so I don't really place much weight in their opinions...
Losing it is my biggest reason for needing the audio jack. I not only lose dongles I also lost my expensive Airpods even with the Find My app. I also lose my wired earbuds but at least they're cheap. I know many people that don't have as big a problem with losing things, maybe it's a personality thing.
A friend of mine semi-permanently attached his dongle to his headphones by heatshrinking over the joined headphone jack/socket (after having lost several already). Seems to be a neat/workable solution. (I've never had my dongle come accidentally detached from my headphones. Maybe the tolerances in my headphone jack and my dongle socket all serendipitously turned out "just right"...)
You can if you order a Chinese splitter. All it does is split your lightning into two ports: the charging pins and all the other pins. Because the sound is sent digitally from your lighting port to the splitter, then digitally again to the lightning-to-3.5mm dongle you have no quality loss from a subpar splitter chip.
Edit: to be clear, this shouldn’t be needed, but alas, we cannot steer Apple.
Don’t know why the parent was down voted for starting a fact.
I think the better solution if you can afford it is a Bluetooth receiver (Fiio make a nice one) for your old headphones.
If you are getting new earphones get some of the cheap Chinese BT earbuds. They are really cheap these days and work quite well for the money. I got a quite nice pair for ~$35AUD from amazon. Surprisingly good.
You probably know this, but worth saying just in case: you should look into unemployment assistance. I believe that the CARES Act applies in case of reduced employment, and the $600/wk benefit is always given in full.
Assuming the state’s computer systems and unemployment department personnel can handle it. Which they obviously can’t since millions and millions of people have requested unemployment assistance but are met with error messages and busy signals on the phone, and don’t have the money they need.
I've been doing a similar routine. But walking instead of reading. I wake at 6:30, take a short walk around the block, eat breakfast, then start work by 7:30. Take a break around noon for lunch and another 2-3 mile walk, then call it quits at 3:30 to 4:00, and either go out and do some wood working or another walk. Then shower before bed at 9:00-ish.
>What really is the issue? That Amazon is leveraging its success to be successful?
The issue is that over the long term, Amazon is lowering the ROI on innovating and taking risks in the consumer goods space. It's able to do this because of its dominance as a marketplace.
Where it gets grey is when stakeholders privately invest or start companies that sell on the platform. Amazon chose to do it upfront with Amazon Basics but there’s nothing stopping them from creating house brands/labels even at arms length to give the impression that it’s not Amazon.
Alternatively, they are people that pay attention to their bodies and have intolerances that aren't strong enough to warrant a medical diagnosis but still make them feel shitty.
I'm also skeptical of the idea that they make it harder for people with "real" intolerances - in the gluten example, there's been an explosion of GF foods, products, and menu signage ever since "gluten intolerance" became a familiar phrase.

Per celiac relatives, the gluten free "fad" has helped in the creation and availability of a lot more prepackaged foods in stores, but hurt in that a lot of restaurants don't take it fully seriously and do things in ways that result in cross-contamination, so there's more crap to wade through to find the truly safe gluten-free places at which to eat out.
To me it seems like the main way they "make it harder" is that _other people_ like to talk about them a lot and might be inclined to take intolerances in general (including diagnosed ones) less seriously. Which I don't really understand -- it doesn't hurt me for someone else to avoid eating something, why should I fault them for that?
It's not just large droplets that seem to carry the virus but also aerosolized droplets that travel farther when you cough or sneeze and that are emitted from talking and singing.
>Undocumented migrants have for all effect become the modern day equivalent of slavery without the associated compasion.
Except for the fact that it's a choice - they aren't kidnapped and sold, they are choosing to work in (to us) shitty conditions because the conditions in their home countries are even worse. If you want to talk compassion - have some compassion for what they are running from.
I'm actually a little stunned at your disregard for the realities of slavery, both modern day and historic.
If the law prevents the store from charging a high price to the consumer, then that effectively prevents the factory from charging a high price to the store, because the store would make a loss if it accepted that price.
>>What if a seller increased the price of a good or service because the seller’s costs of providing the good or service increased?
>If the seller can prove that the increased price is directly attributable to increases in the cost of labor or materials needed to provide the good or service, the seller may not be liable under the statute.
It's right there on the linked page. This basically prohibits large markups while allowing for passing of costs.
