I understand the difference, sorry that the completely arbitrary example was too good of an excuse for you to resist dodging the point :(

if shit is already too expensive to develop in an economically feasible way in the US, why would removing the lower price option make the product more affordable? Your business would collapse because you wouldn't be able to afford to do business

> I can’t afford $20,000 in development cost for a single product, when China will do it for $1,000.

so your solution is to create an economy where you won't be able to sell a product because it costs $20000 and as a result no one will be able to afford it?

Which user in this time capsule do you miss the most?

Im really glad saltysally is gone tho

no, not really

in brief because I doubt you care: you can run a factory on renewables but if you're disposing of chemical byproducts inappropriately you'll still fuck up the environment.

Deforestation is less important for the sake of the atmosphere (trees are only like 30% of O2 production) than they are for maintaining the ecological diversity of the planet.

i wouldn't vote for your dad to be president either if it makes you feel better

Trump has no real way to actually DrainTheSwamp or w/e since congress isn't going to limit its power voluntarily and any executive order trying to limit them will get overturned in 4 years when the GOP drops all support of Trump and funds a better candidate

I have p severe adhd, to the point where things like driving are p dangerous for me unmedicated. I also didnt bother to deal with it until last year. Once i started actually dealing with it and seeing a Dr i started doing my shit. I still like tf2 but my life/game balance has improved a ton. If you think you have a problem you need to talk to ppl about it

Im positive cause i learned im a senior in college after 2 5 years

I could graduate next summer if i wanted wow

you realize that the earth is a sphere right? if you rotate a sphere on camera, especially with a very narrow focal length you'll see the features start to warp. Since you seem to accept youtube videos as proof, you can compare this with this and this video. As the camera zooms more and more the warp becomes less and less noticeable. The earth is a very large ball and the photo is taken from quite close so the effect will be FAR more pronounced, as the subject would take up less and less of the total visible area

This happens because you're trying to project a round surface onto a flat plane. When you're taking photos of the earth, the entire earth takes up 180+ degrees of the FOV, meaning that directly placing them onto a flat image will cause severe warping. Taking photos from farther away would mitigate this.

the only people who've added me have VAC bans and while I am personally not cheater-discriminatory I would like more upstanding members of the community to consider me as well :(
