It is bizarre to me that we are living in a time when there is enough climbers for there to be a queue on that mountain.
If you ever feel like pursuing it more, shoot me a message privately here (or on matrix: https://matrix.to/#/@symphonicresonance:matrix.org). I won't pretend to be an expert at astrophotography, but i've gotten a few cool shots of the night sky in the past 21 years.
Did you later learn how to?
Now I wanted to know what was being talked about. I love photography, and banning someone for wanting to know more irks me.
I am going to assume that you are not American, so you are ignorant about how our laws work. The DOE is enforcing parts of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act that were amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which I mentioned in my previous reply.
You can read the bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/house-bill/6/text . Including this:
Amends EPCA to prescribe energy efficiency standards for general service incandescent lamps, rough service lamps, and other designated lamps.
So yes, the DOE is making rules but it can't makes rules in a vacuum. It is directed to do so by the bills signed into law by the President of the United States (or in some cases just by Congress if a veto is overridden). In 2019, the Trump administration's DOE blocked the rule that was going to be implemented. In 2023 the Biden administration's DOE enforced the rule. None of this could happen without congress.
How is it fraud ?
While opposed by many conservatives, the Bill was signed into law by conservative ( GW Bush). Go figure . Also Intresting to me is the members of the Senate that didn't vote on the bill: Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Hagel, McCain, Obama .
I’d never pay that much for a phone app, personally, especially on android, because I’ve had apps that change dramatically to the point I no longer like/can use them.
You have different uses for your phone than I do. I have paid that much for a phone app. Hell, i've paid 2.5 times that. Some video camera apps and music creation apps are defiantly higher than $20. And they are worth it. In the USA, this app is the cost of about 3-4 cups of chain coffee. Seems reasonable to me.
The beauty of the platform is that you do have choices. So enjoy your freedom of choice! Support something else! Have a great day!
I paid to remove ads. I did so before seeing the price for Ultra. Ah well. lol
