Yep, although more for the aluminium than the steel!

Aluminium and steel have interesting galvanic reactions when touching each other https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/stainless-steel-and-aluminum/

It’s in the last paragraph

Amazingly he didn’t spend $44,000 - he spent a total of $214,000!

FTA: According to CBS News, citing a criminal complaint and affidavit of probable cause, Lawrence Kozak allegedly spent over $214,000 on his Apple ID, with just under $44,000 of that amount charged to a credit card associated with the parish.

Best I could find is the entire division makes about 35% profit and you’d have to assume some of that was YouTube

Revenue is not profit

As a native BrE speaker I’d say “I’ve X installed” is a little weird, fine in speech but written down it doesn't look right. “I’ve installed X” is fine.

You don’t pay tax on growth, you do on dividends. For large shareholders a high dividend can be a problem. Even for me, a very small time retail investor, I have to keep a balance of growth (like Apple) and dividend (I tend to use a dividend ETF so I can fairly reliably estimate my dividends) so I can avoid paying tax on the dividends.

I hear this all the time and it’s very subjective - I would argue the second largest is the US Army Aviation Branch - if you count helicopters have a lot more aircraft than the US Navy.

Also the Russian Air Force has more aircraft than the US Navy per most sources. I suspect the internet meme got the Navy and Army Aviation swapped around.

I ordered a Burger King last week and it was £11.46 for a double whopper meal, around $14.48 or €13.40. It’s not a cheap meal any more.

In hopes they read this comment - the problem is your price. $100 a year is about what I pay for membership to The Guardian - a highly respected, award winning newspaper, that gives away ALL its content. Why would I pay the same for tech news that covers a fraction of all the news out there?

At $5 a year I would have signed up after reading one good article - at $10 maybe after a couple of good articles - but at $100? Never. Even if you were the only good tech news site - and you are not.

I would say it means strong but with an implied sadness, but you can have positive poignant memories too - you’d just have to state they were positive. The day I graduated from University was poignant because it was the end of an era and the start of another, but it doesn’t mean it is a sad memory.
