Property acquisition in the US more expensive than in Europe? I think not, at least for the immense swaths of land that make up most of the US’ land mass.
The legal fees I see, but that’s why most developed nations have legislature for disowning property owners of land necessary for infrastructure at a set compensation. Whether that’s fair or just is up for ideological debate, I’m sure.
Is there an SCP for this?
It’d be more fitting to mandate every product to include its ecological price. Disposable vapes, for example, would disappear instantly.
Oooooh, that’s a neat idea in light of the current EU legislation concerning the Right to Repair: Introduce a mandatory, highly visible, and standardized seal that all electronic devices have to display on the front of their box:
Repairable
or
Disposable
I hope Unity’s legal team is prepared.
I really hope they’re not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos’ grubby fingers.
More like when someone leaves a fingerprint on actual professional image editing equipment (refer to this insightful post by another lemmyng) and just rubbing spit on the screen will damage to screen.
For a phone screen, this cloth is overkill and absolutely unnecessary. You should put a sacrificial glass screen over expensive-to-replace phone screens anyway.
I use a Moonman/Majohn A2 with De Atrementis Document Black at work daily, so you may want to take my advice with a grain of salt. That being said, I love (!) push-retractable fountain pens for any setting where you write with them at least twice a week so the ink doesn’t dry out. I believe there is close to no buyer’s remorse among those who splurged on a Pilot Vanishing Point pen, and I’ll extend that recommendation to Moonman’s really excellent knock-offs.
As for ever-ready, on-the-go ballpoint pens, a metal body Parker Jotter filled with a 1mm Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 is my conference bag staple for quick, short notes.
Among friends and family who aren’t into fountain pens, I’ve heard lots of praise for the Caran d’Ache 849 ballpoint pen, too.
