I feel like for that, at least for me, I have to care about what the other person thinks because I have some responsibility and I don't want to let them down. It wouldn't work for me to have a complete stranger doing it.

The middle one is a similar kind of configuration to my Mac studio, and if you were to put this APU in an actual build it only comes out a little cheaper so the pricing tracks.

Are you British? Generally supermarkets in the UK are usually quite community oriented. They often have collection boxes where you can buy an extra item of something you were going to get anyway and they give it to charity, and host other local charity initiatives sometimes. They even have a signboard in my supermarket with local community news and stuff. I believe most food stores give away surplus expiring food to homeless shelters (it says Tesco already does in the article). Giving it away in store is new and welcome but not without precedent. Some stores have a free fruit section for kids already for example.

I buy CDs and rip them into lossless myself unless it's not available and then I'll sail

There is no problem... in theory. You can show mathematically that profit maximisation and utility maximisation can distribute goods effectively. In theory, on paper, where everyone follows the rules and so on. That's true with any system really.

Often, when you solve these models in economics, you implicitly make the assumption of 'benevolent dictator'. You need someone outside the system that has nothing to gain by interfering in the system, that can move stuff around at will, that regulates every single agent/firm to behave in ways only permitted by the system etc.

The problem is humans are human. None of these things work if someone decides to not play by the rules. People can blame the system sure, but if the system isn't even being employed properly in the first place, I think it's the wrong argument to be having. It's a bit like ignoring or modifying half the rules of a board game and then saying the game is broken because it leads to weird outcomes.

Still prefer V. I think VII actually looks interesting to me but until they iron out the early issues I'll hold off.

The problem is that in theory the workers also are supposed to own the factories and get a slice of the profits. This is what shares are for. Unfortunately, in practice, a larger and larger chunk of people seem to be getting excluded from that bit.

You must be using knuckle dusters regularly

Isn't that the top right panel already?
