I love my 86 Lamport. The cartoons add such a nice touch.

I've wondered where this stuff ends up after donating to charity. Is there a set of less fortunate people that could really make use of these things? Are there people eager to add more of these items to their "collections?" Do the charities end up discarding large percentages of this stuff?

> the carbon tax can either substitute other taxes or the revenue from it can be returned to tax-payers in some form

I would be surprised if carbon tax payments offset some other taxes.

In bc 10 / 3 => 3

It yields integer values unless started with -l option. What's up with that?

Try ebay. They seem to take negative feedback more seriously.

I can recommend Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl. He goes into great detail on regexp performance and the reason various expressions are slow.

I picked up an older revision from abebooks or ebay. The Python 2.7 online docs recommend revision 1 and states later revs don't cover Python.

This article references an interview found in the Washington Post... https://www.washingtonpost.com/classic-apps/stepping-out-of-...

In that interview Mr. Cook says "We’ve said at 40 percent, we’re not going to bring it back until there’s a fair rate."

I wonder what he considers a fair rate?

> someone with a lot more money than you decided that they couldn't make a better return than financing your home loan

I'm not sure this is how fractional reserve banking works. Banks only supply a fraction of depositors money against a mortgage with the majority supplied by the fed. They basically make their money by investing other peoples money (including fed "imaginary" money) and by keeping a relatively low default rate.
