I mean, kind of? Usually you're donating to a charity or something to minimize your tax burden or claim a loss.

"Profitable" is kind of a relative term, but if I pay a little bit of nothing for a good stock (for example) and I hold it for a long time, I might have to pay capital gains on like 90 percent of the value of a stock. If I have some more recently purchased stock with a out the same value, what I can do is donate my old stock money that super grew tax free and use it to offset the value of selling a LOT of more recent stock. This puts money in my pocket from the market basically for free.

It is definitely profitable to figure out how to get money from the market that doesn't require you to pay a quarter of it in taxes up front. If the weight is "how much I put in" vs "how much I took out" you can definitely make profitable tax write-offs.

Weird. I wonder what makes the difference because I've got an RTX 4060 in my main machine and a laptop with an AMD card and haven't had an issue. Idk I've also got the mesa driver's installed as a fallback though and headers.

I guess I also don't use a typical DE so that could have something to do with it. Dwm seems to basically always just work as long as the system posts.

It's super rare in my experience over the last 10+ years.

It's all for Susan Collins right?

The first flight of the largest battery-electric aircraft to take to the skies lasted nearly half an hour while costing just $5 of electricity.

The X1 aircraft is comparable in size to a small regional airliner and can achieve a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 25,000 pounds with the help of four wing-mounted electric motors. The battery-electric propulsion system delivered more than one megawatt of power during the maiden flight.

It doesn't tell us what the load was for the test flight at this price point.

You're probably right that it is good and slow and much less weight.

Likely a short flight.

Yeah the problem is they also don't tell us the load during the flight. From the lift equation (let's be hand wavey) if they're a similar size to a regional jet (same planform area) your heavy lift is better driven by speed than lifting coefficient. Of course, it's hard to go fast with electric props, so I wonder if a safe ceiling is probably ~~400Kt~~ 300Kt?

Gives a nice range of you know... 40 to ~~200~~ 150 miles.

Edit:

No way. The speed record for a prop aircraft currently stands at about 300Kt. If we use that generously our new ceiling is lower.

Yes you missed at least one whole section including a graphic that shows the breakdown of the watermark with typo fixing, light paraphrasing, moderate and heavy editing.

Maybe you also should HAVE* ;)

Good life advice: don't be a piece of shit.

That goes for how you treat others AND how you treat yourself (physically and otherwise).

That bowl cut is a self-hate crime.

Also good for plain old text manipulation. Bylaws for one of my orgs were like 15+ years out of date. Ask for a detailed read flagging any inconsistencies, check that all references point to real sections, and read the state code and related statutes on these 3 web pages, and provide a working draft and redline document with explanations for changes.

That was a 4 hour job that took about 15 minutes, and there is no risk because you have to read the output anyway at the end. It takes maybe three iterations on target sections once you do a full read-through, but as a human it was going to take two or three iterations no matter what.

Besides crafting homeassistant automations that was probably my best use so far.

Edit: But you're right, if you're using it to find out how many rocks to eat in a day or how many letters are in the items on your grocery list, or the best recipe for horse paste that's a waste of everyone's time.
