I agree, I was of the mindset that I wasn’t going to buy it at launch because too many games are broken at launch, but then I the reviews were all great, and I learned that there would be no microtranactions and I realized that this is the type of game I want to reward by buying early and paying full price. I’ve not been disappointed.
It’s ridiculous that the examples you gave don’t back up the statement you made? Yeah, I agree.
I also agree with my original statement that the Chevy Bolt is one of 3 affordable EVs currently available.

Which of these cars that you listed are $15k? The Chevy Bolt EV is less than half the cars you listed when you look at the base price ($26,500) minus the Federal Tax Credit ($7,500).
The original comment I replied to said that “there is not a single affordable EV” in the US and I listed 3 that are under the average cost for any new cars in the US. Then you claimed that EVs need to be $15k in order to reach mass adoption, even though there are no new cars available in the US at that price. You can argue that cars are priced too high, or the car companies are making too much money, but the fact is that for anyone in the market for a new car, there are EVs available in every new car price range.
And where are you going to find any new car in the US for $15k? The average cost of a new car in the US this year was over $40k, and there are several EV options available for practically anyone in the market for a new car.
The Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf are both under $30k, and there’s a Mini Cooper that’s just barely over $30k. There’s only 1 other car from Chevy that’s cheaper than the Bolt, and only 2 models from Mini cheaper than their EV. Nissan seems to be a leader with cheap cars, with 6 cheaper models than the Leaf. When you add in the tax rebates for buying electric that reduces the price an additional $7500.
And does Bukowski not shower before work?
One I’ve literally used more than once: “If I die, I’m going to look very stupid”
I’m also fond of: “There’s only one way to find out”
I was at a Courtyard by Marriott and they had a fully accessible TV that allowed me to connect my SteamDeck and play from the bed. I will definitely stick with Courtyard for my business travel just for this alone.
A seedbox is access to a server that someone else runs, and they typically have a policy of not asking too many questions, not keeping too many logs, and offer assistance in keeping things secure. It can be used for any number of things. I use mine to host bit torrent files and to run applications such as Sonarr & Radarr. These are open source apps that manage TV shows and movies.
That was my first thought too. A seedbox, Sonarr & Radarr and a Usenet site and I’ve got everything I need for $15/month.
My company does this too. In fact the vast majority of people on my team are outsourced employees, but I very much set their hours and direct their work. And I make certain that I do so via email. I also email those above me to let them know when I change someone’s hours.
I also brought up on our employee only DE&I call that the fact we have 1st & 2nd class employees makes it hard to claim we strive for Equity. “We are always evaluating the composition of our workforce and this is just one factor that we consider.”
It’s not just Google. But it Google falls, then everyone else will really start reconsidering things, if they remove Google then the real fight being fought here will be lost.

The Pixel phones haven’t been ‘vanilla Android’ for a while now. The Pixel launcher is just a way for Google for more easily serve ads and paid ‘news’ stories to you. The only thing I really like about my Pixel 6 Pro is the camera, otherwise it is an over-priced piece of hardware.
I don’t buy books from them any longer because their packaging is so poor that most of the time books arrive to me damaged from being tossed into a too large box for shipping.
The Olympus Mons is 2:1 CBD to THC, and the THC is as close to the legal limit as possible. I spent my 20s constantly high, then stopped for about 10 years, and now I find the lower THC bud much more my speed, especially if I’m needing to interact with others.
Both. Therapy gives me a very creative high and helps me fall asleep. Olympus Mons is more of a relaxing high. Both are less than a full THC high, but also none of the paranoia or anxiety that can come from full strength.
I like to refer to the CBD flower as ‘bud light’.
Yes, that’s where I live.
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized it. I’m Indiana it is illegal to inhale hemp, but you can buy it and have it shipped to you.
Holy City Farms has a pretty good sale going on at the moment, unless you live in South Carolina.
Can you elaborate on how creating heat in summer time helps save money on cooling your home?
