I’ve got two monitors which mostly ends up meaning I have twice the amount of screen to lose application windows in.
Somebody on RuneScape back in the early 2000s threatened to report me if I didn’t tell them my password and so I reluctantly told them and immediately got locked out of my free, low level account :-(
Very pro bike but only bike. Pretty much any other modality device is banned from public bike paths.
I bought a Valve Index two years ago, had fun with it for a couple weeks, then never used it again :-\
Not the original commenter but for me it was that they didn’t integrate well into my multi-device management platform and instead required you to use Sonos’s platform and products to play on multiple devices. The sound was decent but I only had one and it didn’t work with my other speakers so it rarely got used.
It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere!
I avoid Amazon whenever possible. I’d rather pay a little more and support a small online business, or better yet find what I need locally.
The crazy thing is that sometimes this just works…
I avoid self checkouts unless the lines at the cashier checkouts are unreasonable.
Half the time I go through one of those I get hit with an error that I’ve then gotta wait on the attendant to fix. The other half I get bogged down by the stupid process like how you’ve got to put the item down on the bagging area before you can scan another one or how you can interact with the card reader to pay but the transaction will not complete until you select a payment type on the main screen. Lately, I’ve noticed some trying to trick me into signing up for rewards or some bullshit.
Much easier to just dump my stuff on the conveyor belt and have the cashier handle everything else.
Before they also said the driver got 100% but behind the scenes they were essentially subtracting that amount from what they were going to pay the driver originally. Thus they could claim the driver got 100% of the tip while still pocketing the value of it.
I’ve had an EV for 9 months now and I’ve actually experienced far less range anxiety with my EV than with my previous ICEs. This is due to the fact that because I can charge overnight in my garage I almost never leave home without a full battery. Versus before with my ICEs where I’d often be driving across town on fumes because I’d forgotten to fuel up the night before.
I drive in the city/urban areas the vast majority of the time so 200+ miles of range is plenty for my day-to-day needs. I’ve honestly never run into a situation where I’ve been worried about running out of juice; I rarely even get below 50%.
As for longer drives, I’ve done several 600+ mile road trips without issue. Sure, charging takes a bit longer than fueling up at a gas station but the opportunity to stretch my legs, rest in the car, or get a bite to eat does wonders for reducing road fatigue. As for finding charging stations, I’d recommend planning your route beforehand but the charging network is dense enough in my region to where I can usually choose to skip a station if it’s too busy and try the next one.
You get the benefit of the vast gasoline network but you also get the maintenance of both ICE and electric systems.
It’s a very plot-driven story with very little deviation from the main mission. I loved the show but I agree that the plot is especially linear (much like a video game) and without the in-between bits where you’d be playing the game in the original story the pacing can feel rushed.
I think the show could have benefited from more time with Joel and Ellie to develop their relationship but I don’t know how they could have done that without bloating the story with filler that wasn’t original to the game, which would not have gone over well.
Thanks I hate it.
