On one hand, it's kinda like selling shovels in a gold rush.

On the other, a consultant needs to grow/maintain their brand. That's a skill like running business is a skill.

Re:Japan's Jimi 'Mundane' Halloween Costumes of 2026 on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @04:17PM (#50358327)
Maybe this is a different type of mundane costume, but I like costumes that just look like guys. When the anime initial D was popular, I would wear a white T, blue jeans, part my hair down the middle and say I'm cosplaying as Takumi Fujiwara...
our shared vision is to enable access to anyone who wants their music or sound on a physical record.

FWIW, You can get 100 records + jackets printed professionally for ~$10 a pop.

Gakken toy record cutter is low quality, but costs $160.

I wonder what this would cost. Surely it's impractical for personal use, as marketed.

Re:The Richest Countries in 2023 on Friday December 22, 2023 @09:08AM (#38734246)
Can you elaborate on this, because you probably can't get much of this with the average (let alone median, which is usually the measure for this sort of thing) US income at all. "Certain" is terribly vague, and US and Germany are both big countries. Your housing dollar goes a lot further in some places than others.

I'll bet anything Germans have access to better vacations than Americans.

Why is that?
Espousing the idea that you can't love where you work while also asking them to change something, that we should not question our superiors, is a massive yikes.
If Ford stops making custom police vehicles and products, it will not prevent current police fleets from rolling nor will it prevent police from buying regular production vehicles.

If that's your concern, consider it allayed.

Re:Should the frame be recognized as an art form? on Thursday July 02, 2020 @04:10PM (#23717463)
Putting aside philosophical discussions around what art is, I feel like frames are much like many other things recognized as art in museums, including Smithsonian museums.

While four pieces of wood would suffice for security, frame makers delighted in the gilded and polychrome curves of Baroque frames, the asymmetrical Rococo peak and the stepped geometry of Art Deco casing.

You can say the same things about furniture or even fashion. Not every frame is art, sure, but you also won't see a Raymour & Flannigan sofa in a museum any time soon either.

Your argument makes no sense. It's a complete non-sequitur unless you want the federal government to enact laws that enable them to micro manage every form of communication.

That would get laughed out of the SCOTUS in an instant.

Like when the Colorado baker refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding, and the Supreme Court ruled in his favor?

Based on this comment, it appears you have a poor understanding of what qualifies as a protected class and what they are protected from. You might want to brush up on that.

There is something inherently different between "the government is sending you to prison for doing that" and "a private entity will prevent you from using their service for doing that", yes, even if that service is Facebook or Twitter.
There's more than one election. There's also the entire house, a third of the senators and perhaps local elections as well.
