There was an old Top Gear episode with a race in a Nordic country with an interesting take on a price cap
the price enforcement was that anybody could buy your car (for no more than the price cap) after the race.
So I think you technically could enter the race with a brand new tricked out rally car...but anyone could buy it for $500/$1000/whatever.
I think some commercial TVs might do what you want.
In grad school I picked up a an old free HP LaserJet, with an Ethernet NIC card (it was an upgradable printer, maybe from the mid 2000s?).
It was great! Only complaint was no duplexer, but the thing printed great from Linux and the generic toner was cheap.
Today though...the experience is a bit different.
At work on a slack it just means "I'm watching this discussion."
You discounted space dust.
No I didn't
it would thermalize and radiate.
This is not my paradox, and it's not really a paradox at all, as the big bang model explains it nicely. There are many nice articles on the topic of you'd like to read more about it.
Yes. But why is there an absence of light?
If there are infinite stars, then every direction you look would encounter a star. (Things stay the same brightness per subtended angle as they get far away. Space dust doesn't matter, as it would thermalize and radiate.)
So, the universe can't have infinite luminous matter, be static and ageless, because if it were then the night sky would look like the surface of a sun.
This may all seem obvious, but it's neat that you can figure that out with the naked eye.

Olbers's paradox, also known as the dark night paradox or Olbers and Cheseaux's paradox, is an argument in astrophysics and physical cosmology that says the darkness of the night sky conflicts with the assumption of an infinite and eternal static universe.
The night sky being dark has some profound cosmological implications.
Widely regarded as the best Seinfeld episode is The Contest. It's about who can go the longest without masturbating, but what makes it great is that they never say that explicitly
it's just euphemisms and insinuation. And it's hilarious IMHO.
I believe they initially wanted to spell it out, but the networks wouldn't let them (I could be wrong). Definitely for the better that they danced around the topic the way they did.
(Yes I know, Jerry Seinfeld is a problematic person, I'm just trying to answer the question...)
I've been pleasantly surprised by vegan blue cheese dressings, but blue cheese itself...yeah, it's got a long ways to go.
What, the curtains?
TIL NASA is woke.
(/s shouldn't be required but here we are...)
It is "backwards" from some other commands
usually you run copy/rsync/link from source to destination, but with tar the destination (tarball) is specified before the source (directory/files).
That, and the flags not needing dashes always just throws me for a loop.
And the icing on the cake is that I don't use tar for tarring that often, so I lose all muscle memory (untaring a tgz or tar.bz2 is frequent enough that I can usually get that right at least...).
