  • I’m inferring that you are not in the US, so your local laws may differ. But in the US, your attorney is required to act in your best interests to the best of their ability. Working against their client is a quick way to be disbarred and paying a massive amount to their (now former) client.

    That said, this whole thing seems like an exercise in creative writing. Your life savings would be too tempting to any attorney, and they would try to steal it? You need to make friends with someone powerful to find a good lawyer? You’ll need all of this in a few months, but not now? None of it makes any sense.






  • I’ve found it to have extremely limited value, but not zero. It’s been useful as a shortcut for things I can already do myself. For instance, I can easily get syntax for a param block, or build a window form. Could I do it myself? Absolutely, and pretty easily. And I can recognize when it’s right vs wrong. But it’s marginally faster to have copilot do it instead of digging up the documentation.

    It’s more like a party trick than a trillion dollar revolution. The $20/month for a full time dev is probably around the break even point for the labor savings. It’s not going to save THAT much time.







  • I’m not sure there’s much hoarding. They still have a relatively short shelf life. Although I will admit that this tips the scales a bit to convince people to buy eggs when they aren’t sure they’ll need them.

    A bigger demand is going to come from food service. A lot of small restaurants need eggs, e.g. for anything battered. These places aren’t big enough for Sysco, and certainly not big enough for assurances on availability. They often use suppliers like Gordon Foods, Costco, and even retail options like Aldi and Walmart.

    While even a large family doesn’t need more than a couple dozen eggs per week, small restaurants purchase eggs by the hundreds.




  • One thing to add is that there is a difference between looking nice, and looking fashionable. Looking nice tends to be relatively timeless. Going back 100 years, you could easily put on one of Humphrey Bogart’s suits (probably minus the hat and cigarette) and easily be seen as very well-dressed. Same for a James Bond tuxedo.

    But neither of these will make you appear fashionable. That is to say, in touch with the current clothing trends, particularly of the youth.

    It’s up to the OP if the latter is really what they want.



  • Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.

    Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.
