He gets to keep making them because he's already on the in with his own production company. That's what makes him A-list. Most of the A-list is willing to show up and do bit parts for him.

He may not make block busters, but the man makes a damn good living making budget movies.

There's a TON of second hand baby stuff. Most of it in great shape because the kid grows out of it long before it wears out. Consumable stuff is mostly at the super market, or occasionally big box stores.

What's missing is community support most of the time. You don't have a lot of friends with kids, or don't hang out with the ones that do.

Pretty sure Japan has decided on population decline at this point. It will be interesting to see if that changes as the population drops.

You would think, but for the most part daycare is a very low profit industry. The problem I think is that all the costs tend to scale with size. So having a lot more clients just means a lot higher costs.

There are exceptions of course, but all of those that I've seen also have some other luxury additions to basic care.

Daycare is a crazy one. Insanely expensive, yet the workers are damn near indentured servants.

Dubbed and subbed, I do other things while watching, and when I do pay attention I like seeing the difference in translation.

If you enforce those rules, you won't have any posts.

Right now that's true. Regulations could change that as governments seek to wall off their economies.

Biggest down side will probably be users getting siloed within native countries. Making international services less useful, or altogether crippled.

Canada was British at the time, about 40 years later Canada became a country.

Mobile living has its issues. From having a mailing address to a long list of repairs or maintenance issues that will require you to find space to deal with. Pets can be difficult, kids are a logistic problem with no end. Also, your home will never increase in value, while costing as much as a mortgage.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Skyrmir@lemmy.world to c/tools@lemmy.world

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
