A starter pistol counts as a firearm (for the purposes of flight, but not in any local laws). the inspection happens within your sight. I know photographers that do this with their equipment.
I guess they could still seize it, but they won't "lose" it, and they won't inspect it randomly in transit.
I mean, if you always have enough time to drive, more power to you, but it's a strategy I've seen used when transporting expensive stuff that couldn't be carried on.
If you can get a large enough hard and securely locking case (they make them with custom foam), you can put a starter pistol in it (counts as a firearm for the TSA, and legal to posses in every state unlicensed) and declare it at check in.
It'll cost you, but depending on your travel could save you days.
They do an inspection before checking it, and they have to give it social handling and are not allowed to open it at all. You are allowed (required even) to use real locks.
Anything built on earth needs to be able to cope with 9.8m/s^2 acceleration.
Their premise is that building in space allows for sparser construction.
You may be able to reduce the overall amount shipped from Earth to space and save money overall (not saying it will work, but that seems to be their premise).
It doesn't sound like in a way you'd legally be able to file taxes, and it's definitely not SAP.
And more interestingly, you you consider taking out a loan as profit?
Because if you consider the taking out of the loan as revenue nuetral, your system has a company that takes out a million dollar loan, and manages to pay it off as losing a million dollars (that'd be fucking awesome for taxes).
The other stupid scenario your logic of paying down loan principal being an profit negative is that taking out a loan in profit positive.
You can be profitable and have negative cash flow.
Paying down a loan is revenue neutral, as is making a large purchase of capital.
So for ease of math's sake let's say I borrow 1.2 million at 0% interest with a 1 year term.
I receive the debt, and the money, that's 0 revenue (they balance) and I have to pay $100,000/month.
Now I use that money to buy $600,000 of equipment that depreciates over 5 years ($10,000 month)
I now have $600,000 in the bank, $600,000 in equipment, $1.2 million in debt (0 assets).
No I start making widgets. My widgets cost me $50 to make (parts labor, marketing etc. we're keeping this simple), and sell for $100.
If I sell 750 Widgets a month, I will be taking in $75,000 month in cash, and spending $137,500 (the loan and the $50/widget).
On paper I am profitable $27,500/month (75,000-37500 in making widgets - 10,000 equipment depreciating).
But every month my bank account goes down $62500 (I pay $100,000 back on the loan, and $37500 to make widgets, but only take in $75.000)
If I can't get a second loan (for example the credit market tanks), I will end up bankrupt after 10 months (I won't be able to pay the tenth loan payment, even though I've profited $275,000 in those ten months.
What it shows is that constant physical sloppiness is relatively new starting in the 80s, and accelerating in the 2000s.
Sure economy blah blah, but something changed under reagen, for both parties.
I'm guessing that somehow boomers were starting to take control and are the spoiled irresponsible brats they say the millennials are. Of course, we probably are too, we'll know when gen X starts to cede power over the next 10 -25 years.
The printer could very easily decide that a 1/4 inch long sheet of paper is too short and throw a jam when not in transparency mode.
I work with commercial equipment more than desktop type stuff, but almost every machine I've used throws a jam pretty early in the paper path when using a transparency that it's not set for.
There are transparencies with a whole sheet of paper though, those I assume would get through.
That's a separate issue. I have no idea if it would, but my assumption would be that they also track the IMEI numbers that they order, so the phone can't be taken somewhere else, and they won't activate it.
I get 12-24 hours (never need to worry about charge on even a pretty long work day, sometimes I can use it for sleep tracking).
If it didn't reliably make it through work until I got home I would not be pleased.
I had three criteria for a smart watch. 1) reliably 18 hours battery (zw2 is close) 2) not giant (zw2 is a touch thick, but good) 3) under $200 (I got mine for $70)
I actually figured I'd use it and see how I felt with no big expenditure and buy the zw4 when it came out new if I liked having a smart watch. I guess I won't have the chance.
It was on sale for $70, isn't bad looking (zenwatch 2, the small one), I can pick a stylish watchface (I use literal watchface), and ignore or quick reply to texts at home without worrying about where my phone is, as well as control tv or music (play pause, nothing major) check the weather too. Probably most useful is a safer way to get my GPS directions while driving.
It certainly isn't life changing, but it is mildly life improving.
I was really looking forward to the next generation of watches. Something that could be the same size, but slightly thinner with a smaller bezel.
I don't think they look bad, and unless one noticed the thickness, they'd be unlikely to fly it as a smart watch and me as a dork at all (well, they'll be able to for other reasons...)
We were allowed to cite newspapers though. If a newspaper said so and so said "blah blah", we didn't need to find so and so to do the citation. That'd definitely count as hearsay.

That's the idea.

Doesn't apple allow custom keyboards now?
I suspect someone can create one with the dead space, no jailbreak required. Hopefully they'll center it with 3/16 inch blank left and right too.
Angreed.
I'd love a phone with edge to edge display, except for the bottom, I tested one, impossible to one handed type.
Ideally, I'd have a 5-5.25 inch phone, half in lower bezel, and a centered keyboard that isn't edge to edge.
Not sexy in the store though I guess.

Which makes it all the more impressive 98% aren't taking the oil money.
The math doesn't work out at all though.
You'll never be able to pay what a page view is worth to advertisers with mining via browser.

I'd be most concerned about salt on the cameras.
Also, videos are on YouTube legitimately that aren't on all the streaming services.
Videos are seen as promotion, and music streaming as a revenue source.
OK,
So how do you definitely profit?
It doesn't sound like in a way you'd legally be able to file taxes, and it's definitely not SAP.

I actually don't know which is stupider.
I'm a printer, and we can.
We have a customer that sells using Amazon fulfillment.
It's cheaper to use us and have us ship packages to Amazon warehouses than to use Amazon.
You can be profitable and have negative cash flow.

It's closer to 25-33% of their paycheck (I believe the 28% is usually gross).
But even so, they should be fine. Food, medical, and transportation expenses don't really scale with housing cost or pay (or not as strongly).
I'm just excited that YouTube ads will be blocked.
Yes, I know they won't, but it's amusing to me that they list count down as a bad thing.
I love it.

I read it as 1.4 of 12.1 million.
I suppose the fact that it's only 12.1 in that age range should be more concerning were I Facebook, but 12 percent or so drop is significant too.
How much of this is the age cohort shrinking?
I know there baby boom echo is getting older.

That of course assumes the lock is effective.
The insurance on deliveries IS the financial burden.
Of this reduces theft, it will reduce insurance cost.
Interesting.
I'd think you'd just have the transparency jam before the fuser.
If it's not in transparency mode, the clear should trigger a jam (that's how it works in printers I've used).
Yes, the entire point of a sandbox is it can't get data from other apps.
Or at least without specific warnings that it's doing something outside of just being a self contained app.

I get compliments on my smart watch.
It was on sale for $70, isn't bad looking (zenwatch 2, the small one), I can pick a stylish watchface (I use literal watchface), and ignore or quick reply to texts at home without worrying about where my phone is, as well as control tv or music (play pause, nothing major) check the weather too.
