The note callouts are all borked.

Jeez, "wheels not falling off car" has been a solved problem since at least the 1965 Corvair.

As much as you could at 9600 baud.

Corporate bonds won't take you to Disneyland.

A new Leica M6 goes for about $7K at B&H. When you could still buy them, Rolleiflexes were about that much. A mechanical camera hand-made in short runs in Germany? Not gonna be cheap. If you can afford and think you'll use it enough to make it worthwhile, there are worse things you could spend your money on.

don't even have to get esoteric, a Nikon Z9 body only is $5000 at Target right now

completely different camera but it's a straight up camera and not strange format. for people who are serious/professional about photography multiple thousands is stiff but that's what they cost.

My first thought is, that looks cool. [looks in wallet. Looks at cabinet with other cameras. Looks at wallet again.] Oh well.

Are you going to give your cc number to every website in the world? Also, is that really an ID?

It's not necessary to give it to every website. Verification to the website can be a true/false from the OS. In fact that's how it already works now.

I would say it's not really an ID no, which is the point. The post is claiming that a digital ID is necessary for age verification, but clearly it isn't.

Use every means necessary. If that can be organized, do it.

I use a Melitta pour over cone, a Baratza grinder, a kettle with a temp control, and a spoon. Once in a while, I'll get out the French press. Good coffee doesn't really need to be complicated. You just need decent fresh beans and a little care.
