That's why you get a big fat rebate in your chequing account every 3 months. It's meant to offset the rising costs of goods such that end consumers who don't pollute a ton themselves are in fact not carrying the burden.

I think you touched on how to make pay it forward work: make it as low effort as possible.

In this case, while you had lots of work, the people "paying it forward" had almost none. Thus the chain was able to go for as long as you were willing.

Yep. Prior to last year if person X told me person Y was antisemitic, my opinion of person Y would have dropped.

Today? It's about a 33% chance for each of X, Y or both being pieces of shit.

Wanted to see if I could do anything exciting with the new Satisfactory dedicated server API. There's no documentation of it anywhere online, but there's a random markdown file documenting it in the installation directory. Got it working but turns out it can't do much. Oh well

Ignoring the obvious, I was not expecting that kind of money being dropped on the interior based on the photos of the exterior.

I think that's my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It's so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it's a massive disincentive to try new things.

I think we're about 8ft? I've heard there's no minimum really. Basically you don't want to have to physically turn your head to see either side.. But beyond that the closer you are the better you see the picture.

Aiui the distance thing was more back in the day where if you sat too close you'd notice pixels. But with modern resolutions that's not a problem anymore.

If you're patient and can go over budget, an OLED might not be totally out of reach. I snagged a 77” OLED for ~1600 USD earlier this summer (refurb from third party reseller). You might be able to find one close to your budget if you drop down the size a bit.

Negativity bias is real! I was reminding myself just today that for every act of hatred, there are ten thousand acts of love or kindness happening unreported all over the world. In homes, on the streets at the store...

Don't let the news get you down. Things aren't as bad as all that.
