Would You Rather@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Would you rather have one million dollars or one million cast iron pans?English
9·18 days agoFun thought experiment that I’m going to over analyze.
Near me iron seems to go for ~$180/ton at scrap yards. If we call the average pan weight 8lbs, that’s about 4k tons so scrap value on the lot is ~$720k. The question would be how likely you could sell these not as scrap and net beat the $280k spread. The scrap value per pan would be ~$0.72, so if you can sell each pan for more than a dollar you’d theoretically come out ahead, but to make it worth while you’d probably want to target $10 or more because processing, storing, and moving that many pans isn’t going to be free. Budget new pans go for $20-30, used can be lower or higher than that depending on quality and condition.
tl;dr: Depends on the condition and quality of the pans and it sounds like a lot of work but I’d say the optionality is skewed towards taking the pans if you were willing and able to put the time in to make it a business/job for yourself.
Personally I don’t have the time and I’m doing well financially, I’d take the money.

58·23 days agoReading through a bit it sounds like it works on Linux, not on Windows. Folks are hypothesizing it’s disabled at the ACPI level because different drivers don’t help.

1131·1 month agoIn a less polarized and post truth world you’d probably be right. I fear however that the solid 36-37% maga base will never find an issue that can’t be spun or rationalized. In the magasphere this situation seems to be framed as the GOP stepping up to fight against free health care for illegal immigrants which seems divorced from reality.

13·1 month agoPretty easy. Be not white, not straight, not cis, etc. They’ll fear for their life. Or at least that’s what the reports and ensuing investigations will conclude.

News@lemmy.world•States sue Agriculture Department over looming suspension of SNAP food assistanceEnglish
29·2 months agoWhen asked for comment about the lawsuit, a USDA spokesperson responded with a statement: “We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. Continue to hold out for the Far-Left wing of the party or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive timely WIC and SNAP allotments.”
This seems like a perfectly normal thing for an ostensibly non-partisan federal agency to say. I mean I get that it is increasingly normal these days but fuck this timeline.













I guarantee that one of the two in this picture hasn’t read the peace plan.
