@rysiek (individual) businesses do not have to. An entrepreneur (eg could be anyone, even you) who gets an advantage will make supranormal profits in the short run. They can sell their product cheaper, and pay workers more. The business who didn't believe will have no workers and no customers and run out of money, then disappear.
Warning. The market works both ways, so if it turns out wrong, the businesses that follow it will run out of money and disappear instead.
@Sandra Cortex (Prime) has a neat mechanic where you roll your pool and pick 2 dice for your total.
Often it is the two highest, but the GM can purposely pick a different two. A kind of fudging while actually following the rules.

Finally understood why does a 2-port measurement on a network analyzer can reliably find the impedance of a Power Distribution Network. The RF impedance between power and ground is nearly zero on a PCB with many capacitors, diverting 99% current coming out from port 1 to ground, meanwhile port 2 is in parallel, but its 50 Ω input impedance is large and gets almost no current, no voltage drop. Like Kelvin sensing but instead of 1 MΩ, 50 Ω is large enough. And since port 2 receives almost no power, S21 goes to zero and impedance equation simplifies to a straight line Z = 25 Ω x S21, really neat. #electronics
@craigmaloney@octodon.social the company I currently work for (10+ years) didn't have a local office when I joined. Even head office was mostly virtual/remote. It is a consultancy, so a lot of work was at client premises, but I also had some long engagements (up to 12 months at a time) working from home. Now owned by a major telco so has offices available, but rarely a need to go there (a few times a year). At the beginning of the pandemic, before any government rules, they moved to full remote work for all possible staff over a weekend; and are still operating that way. It is nice being mostly back the way it was when I first joined. I prefer it.

@Inkscape is celebrating the release of Inkscape 1.1! Among the highlights are a Welcome dialog, a Command Palette, a revamped Dialog Docking System, and searchable preference options. https://inkscape.org/news/2021/05/24/welcome-inkscape-11/
@cidney congrats on finishing a campaign!
@Mayana a bunch of the books have been turned into plays and we see them about once a year from a local amateur group, in Brisbane Australia. There are also a few movies, and I put Hogfather on at least once a year.

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
