I'm also loving Ubuntu, if that means anything to you.

It's powerful, but it's also very expensive, especially if you have several opinionated devs on the team.
Does anyone have a source for that? My quick google search doesn't give me any results that aren't about the Shingrix vaccine.

Never ever buy cheap jack stands for instance. The extra money you spend on the good ones is just life insurance.
Fortunately, you can buy batteries for most popular tool brands long after the brand stops supporting them, and in a pinch you can buy adapters to make brand a batteries work on brand b tools
Yes, it does mean I have spent more money than absolutely necessary, but on the other hand I have a lot of cheap tools that are perfectly serviceable for the two times a year I actually need to use them.
It works for me, you go do what works for you.
In the US you do still have some recourse for injuries caused by vaccination: "The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury petitions.
It was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases."
This is the absolute truth about most modern cars. The main thing I look for now in a used car is parts availability and how well the car has been maintained.
The only downside, is that I have a slight speech impediment, but it's mild enough that most people don't notice.
And for some reason I still (25 years later) tend to pronounce hill as "heel".
They may be bad abstractions at a lower level of detail, but for general purposes they seem to be useful enough.
The original game came with some very cool props that I wish I still had. Peril Sensitive Sunglasses (Do not wear while driving.), A microscopic space fleet in a plastic bag, some lint, and a "Don't Panic" button.
And I assure you, the stuff I've put up does not make enough money to cover any fees (20 listens a month).
As I said in the comment above, artists are free to NOT put their music on Spotify if they don't think it's a good deal, but regardless streaming services are only commercials for artists. Spotify is far from the worst offender. :-)
Regardless, Spotify is free to pay whatever they think is fair and artists are free to accept or reject that compensation as they will. But if you're an artist, Spotify (and the other streaming platforms, which mostly pay even less) are not going to be something that you can ever expect to be an income source.
I think royalties of 1 to 3 cents per stream are completely reasonable. Subcent royalties are just platforms taking advantage of the content creators.
Which is why most artists see all the streaming platforms as merely a way to advertise for live shows and merch. That's the only way to really make money without hitting Taylor Swift levels of streams.
Merely dealing with an audit (even if everything you id was correct and above board) can be extremely stressful and time consuming.
My parents also thought their CPA was really good an knew what they were doing. Turns out that even CPAs screw up sometimes. :-)
