Hearing about this got me to reevaluate whether I needed Prime and I ended up cancelling altogether. Just a heads up, if you cancel mid-subscription (I was on the yearly plan) you get the option to cancel service immediately and refund what you didn't use. I was supposed to re-up in May and ended up getting $63 refunded.

What do you run textures at? I'm always on the lookout for the best SD1.0 setup for me.

I still can't even log into Threads because I log into Instagram with a Facebook account.

I had a Thinkpad T440s that had a ridiculous battery life. I think I picked I picked it up on eBay for like $300 4 or 5 years ago. I tinkered with it and ended up breaking it and didn't have time to put it back together/fixed up but that thing was a dream. I have a "desktop replacement" PC that's huge and unwieldly and I wish I just kept my T440s with an upgraded display and like 4 days of battery life.

Sorry - just saw this now.

I think you're right, I'm thinking about it exactly opposite. That was a good example, thank you!

We used Wyze cameras for years but their quality has dropped considerably in the last few. Every time you open the app they've got a new popup to remind you to buy more stuff and their app only works half the time. I wish there was something affordable I could set up and host at home without having to pay ridiculous prices for hardware and making it a second job to set up and/or maintain. Wyze was the answer there but they've been sitting uncharged at the front and back door for months now because their app just wasn't worth using.

Hey, you do you. My days of slamming things I don't like are over. Not everything's made for me and I accept that but there are definitely similartities I can draw between the two. I told my brother that I don't mind the off-the-wall goofy episodes when the What-If machine is involved but the knee-jerk transitions between actual episode and goofiness just isn't for me. Glad there's a new season and that there's an audience for episodes like that though!

I watched half way, got PTSD from season 10 and put on s1e1 and fell asleep. I've liked this season so far, being fan since literally 1999 (holy shit...) but I couldn't make it through this episode. It was Naturama all over again.

I felt similarly. Exploring is just another thing to "do" to get credits/nanites. It was cool to see genuinely new things like the huge Dune-styled worms but once you see one you've seen them all.

That extends to base building too. I have no reason to build a base anywhere else in the galaxy once I have a capital ship that does all my crafting for me. Except resource collecting, I guess. But meh, different strokes for different folks. I don't think there's been a non-MMO continually-updated game that I've come back to as often as NMS but coming back is usually pretty short-lived.

I'm out of the loop on this one and I'm probably the minority here but big banks would probably incorporate this whole WEI thing but wouldn't smaller institutions like credit unions opt out? I apologize for my ignorance, I haven't looked into this at all. This is the first time I'm hearing about WEI and I'm trying to garner some sort of and idea of what it is via comments rather than reading an article about it like a regular human being.

I have a Kindle paperwhite without ads, worth paying extra imo. I use Calibre to convert any books I “find” to mobis and send via email through Calibre. I’ve also done this with manga and it’s been working well. Loves me my paperwhite.

If this was a subtle Kung Pow reference, I want you to know that your clothes are black.
