@clive Tell em why it's reported as a 9 and you're saying 8! That is confusing.

With a cash prize, could you tell the difference between Bill Pullman and Jeff Daniels?

A shocking twist!In 2015, £:$ ranged from $1.46 to $1.53 in 2015; in 2024, it’s been around $1.26 so far. Bonham’s sold the edition in $191,000 (in US$). So that was £127,000 that year.If it sold last September for £226,800 in UK£). So £127,000 from 2015 is worth £169,000 in constant pounds (using Bank of England’s inflation calculator). Thus the 2023 price compared to the 2015 is 35% more!Investing $191,000 in market indexes in 2015 netted $350,000 by 2023.https://poorlyrendered.com/@scottearle/112391413127643051

A reminder to writers to look up inflation-adjusted values before making assertions about the increase in their worth… https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2024/05/rare-book-private-collection-ethics/678254/

(It is worth 10% more when comparing constant dollars than in 2015 compared to 50% when using current dollars.)

@timbray @waldoj @nlpbot You have…an L2 charger at home. This is not feasible for a lot of people.

@timbray @waldoj @nlpbot An L2 is $1,250 from a reliable electrical contractor in Seattle including permits and parts. Our utility offers a $400 rebate. We may split with neighbor! We had a ~$15K electrical upgrade that made this possible…

The industrial world used to be exciting! And obviously horribly unsafe.

@clive I'm beside myself. While I know GOP voters say it doesn't matter…guilty on all 34 counts will have an impact on critical swing voters in a lot of places. I think he just lost the election.

@clive Earlier today, the NYT’s Cohn wrote a story about how polling for Biden looks worse on its face than it is. Now, the Dems are readying a multi-billion dollar “not a criminal” ad campaign for Biden.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I mean, those were the words written by someone who served in WWI and then experienced WWII as a parent. He knew of what he drew from.
