Basically the only option I have found for a non-connected/smart/spyware tv in the last few months are commercial displays. They must price in the ad revenue to the consumer stuff because the price of those commercial displays is ~4x.

It’s how you keep them passive while holding them.
Pre-thickened water isn’t any less of a distrubing concept. “Here. Drink this water, it’s the same consistency of saliva.”
I know there is a reason for it to exist but I don’t like the idea/concept of a beverage thickener…
Yeah, I was in that storm. We were without power for 3 days. Fortunately it was not over 100f that during that stretch but It would have been so much worse if it had been. I personally know people who were without power for almost 2 weeks after it came through. Centerpoint was negligent in maintinging their equipment, right of ways, and getting their crews where they should have been.
Frankly, I am amazed it has not already happened in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or Austin. The power grid here in Texas is a disaster and the weather conditions are unforgiving. At least in the desert you can do evaporative cooling. That doesn’t work where its hot and humid.
I really like growing tomatoes indoors, just can’t get enough of those sweet sweet red berries. I like them so much, they make my eyes red.
Someone check the pizza trackers around the Pentagon. If it’s busy, we are in trouble
Google made lots of stuff that I used and enjoyed, then slowly made them worse or outright killed them off. Hangouts was imo the gold standard of simple chat programs, their podcast app was excellent and ad free. Both are now gone.
They also have been ceaselessly working to wring every last cent out of their products at the expense of the user experience. The products and services were fine and they were making loads of money even with adblocking and tracker blocking in place but they knew they could make more money and most people would just accept the inconvenience so they said fuck em and ran with it.
Yep, no one else will.
The awesome thing is that those marks can be counterfeit and you only know by looking up the number.
Flechettes are an option but yeah, its imperfect.
You can fit a choke and longer barrel with higher caliber pellets to improve the range.
I went the same route, it was significantly less expensive to get a nicer custom ring made by a local jewler I knew, to my spec/design then to get a commodity one from a store.
The answer is it depends on a lot of things, my answer comes from my current financial situation which is stable but not anything crazy.
If I have been working a lot and have money to use, I value my free time at ~2-3x my equivalent hourly wage. If the task is something I enjoy and I have time, I’d rather do it myself than pay someone else. If it is something messy, something I don’t want to do, or something I am bad at or might screw up, that is a problem that money can solve.
It shouldn’t be controversial to say this but humans deserve free time, we should have leisure and hobbies. You should not have to constantly fight/work to survive. We as a species are past that point and it is sad that society has not figured that out. Instead society chooses to keep the status quo where some people have to work 60-80hrs a week to exist.
No, I don’t have the answer on how to change that.
55 seconds is life
I just finished Firewatch for the first time. Other than the clunky movement controls and lack of jumping. I enjoyed it.
Does the tv tuner and tv guide work? I tried a few alternatives a few years back and they were garbo. Wmc always just worked.
A lot of them are adding that stuff. I looked earlier today actually.
