i went looking for pricing info and it's the last item in the last menu on the website... it's not exactly up front. i was looking for a "pricing" top-level menu item first, which is pretty standard nowadays.
As ive said in many other comments - YOU DO NOT NEED PRO. The devs are very adamant about this - even aggressively so. 99% of apps will work just fine with the free library. Pro is for some bells and whistles, or just to support people who have invested many thousands of hours into making a genuinely innovative framework, and given it away
OK, then this approach will needlessly discourage adoption AND consume way more resources than it brings in. Under this structure the team needs to deliver the highest level of quality to the smallest paying audience without community support. Further, enterprise is very hesitant to pay for this as a product but are way more receptive to paying for support. Everyone would be much better served without a tiered free/pay product and paid support options.

I've never seen a corporation do this even with projects that don't try and encourage like here.
If an enterprise won't want to pay for the product, what makes you think they're more likely pay for support?
If you're implying they'll only pay when they've seen the value of the product, then the non-pro part of the framework is incredibly feature-rich and can easily do that.
Yeah support model for a lit of projects like this doesn't work. Even companies like the one behind NATS struggle. It's almost contingent on you building a bad product that needs support.
lots of "freedom"-loving pushback on this law here. sorry y'all, we live in a society and your actions affect others. you choosing to endanger my life on the road does not make me more free.
i think these speeders should just lose their license to drive forever, so maybe choose to view this law as a compassionate compromise.
Yes, this is exactly my problem with this type of reasoning.
You can make these arguments for anything. If we can't even get the most obvious low-hanging fruit because "aww it's slightly inconvenient" then we can't even DREAM of solving complex problems.
This new "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" mentality towards policy is so toxic. That's the only guaranteed way to not solve a problem! It's an anti-solution!
Sometimes not solving a problem could actually be better. We have to try new things, I do agree, all the time. But every time you change something, you also create ways for new problems.
I agree with this, too. But institutions and systems need constant maintenance and tweaking. Like code, they rot in the face of an ever-changing society.
I do not believe the US or VA constitutions guarantee a right to exceed speed limits. No idea what freedom they’re talking about!
They should go further than license removal. Owning a car that can drive on public roads should be illegal for habitual, feloniously dangerous speeders. Selling or renting a car to someone who is not allowed to own a car any longer should also be punishable.
This is 100% a political issue. Instead of introducing privacy-violating software, we could instead institute massive policing campaigns to curb speeding. But that would require actual effort by police, something they don't want to do.
Policing in a country filled to the brim with private firearms and a lot of people desperate to avoid serious consequences makes "massive policing campaigns" often lead to high-profile deaths.
Chicago tried to put cops in the CTA stations/trains and within weeks a man accused of "walking between CTA cars", techically a forbidden thing but commonplace and relatiely victimless, was shot in the back fleeing.
It's a political issue but really a design issue. Unfair speed limits do color our perception of speed limits in general, because they are often not set correctly for the design speed of the road, but are set correctly for the present danger certain speeds in that context exhibit. It is a warranted, justfied emotional reaction to the speed limit; we feel fine driving the design speed, yet are punished for making the road "unsafe". It's entirely reasonable to doubt it. The design speed should match, and even be slightly lower, than the intended speed limit of the road.
Also in Chicago, recently a 25mph speed limit failed to pass in the city council. I was all for it, but saddened the ordinance did nothing to demand local, county, and state DOTs to redesign roads. I live next to a very wide, four lane road with middle turn lane. The blanket speed limit in Chicago is 30mph. The road I live next too feels downright comical at 30mph. Everyone does 40 because it feels natural to do that. But at 30mph, I might die if I get hit crossing that road. At 40, it is all but guaranteed.
yea there are some wild hypotheticals being thrown around in the comments with one of my favorites being "what if you're drinking and you have to speed to escape a wildfire but have a breathalyzer in your car?". Jeeze I guess we really should just do nothing instead.
most of the time folks are fermenting ginger beer, it's just to carbonate it. ginger beer isn't usually fermented to produce alcohol like a normal beer.
since there is so much sugar available in ginger beer, fermenting/carbonating it in sealed glass bottles will result in bottle bombs.
skip the fermentation completely: 2 liter plastic soda bottles are great for force-carbonating with a co2 tank. if you really don't like plastic you could find a 1 gallon stainless steel keg and carbonate (and serve) from that.
looks and runs like a mac app on macOS as far as i can tell. seems pretty normal on XFCE as well. not sure what you're finding to be "completely alien".
I'm from Rome (East of Syracuse) and I don't really have any good canal stories. I actually live near Rochester now and we go on bike rides on the canal trail pretty frequently. It's quite flat and a little boring but pretty. There are lots of YouTube travel vlogs of folks biking the whole canal. You can camp at the locks, just watch out for the mosquitos!
Why don't you answer the question though? Is it actually cheaper to use solar power in Michigan or Ohio than it is to use fossil fuels? Our local water company sure didn't think so, as an engineer there told me that they had been getting a lot of pressure to go 100% renewable for their pumps in the past two years but couldn't make it work cost-wise without a rate increase.
