Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.

I enjoyed playing through the remaster on PC. But after 100%ing the game, any time I’ve felt like playing it I just end up running the international version in an emulator.

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

Don’t use YouTube to MP3, use one of the Deemix variants that downloads music straight from Deezer’s servers.

I have wanted to build a scanner camera for ages. Nicely done!

^ This. We try to enforce Microsoft Authenticator company wide and we will never be able to completely ditch call/text as an option. We have a ton of users that don’t have smart phones. We have a policy to only allow call/text if a user specifically requests it.

Not surprising. Restaurants have become even more expensive and people already don’t have money to waste. Plus many of us are remote or hybrid.

Going to have to disagree, Teleroboxer and Red Alert were awesome.

As for why they’re getting downvoted, criticizing cars or the use of cars tends to get a lot of negative feedback.

Consider an ebike to supplement your car for shorter trips. I’ve just opted to ride my bikes more.

As someone who has dealt with a couple dozen Surface devices in a corporate setting, I cannot recommend them. They’re fine when they work. When they have issues though, they are practically impossible to repair. Keyboard port issues, dock connection issues, bricked devices, and even expanding batteries are all issues I’ve run into. When you have an issue, Microsoft will just swap it out for a different one rather than fix the device.

You missed the /s in your comment.

Amelie. It is by far my favorite movie that isn’t animated.

How to train your dragon (1, 2, and 3). These are my favorite American animated films.

My Neighbor Totoro. Favorite Japanese animated film.

We use Slack for those of us on the IT team, but Teams for everyone else. I despise Teams.

It’s an issue with media outlets sensationalizing everything. The authors of the study even say that it’s premature to call this a cure in humans. It is a nice step forward though.

This is the first band that came to mind when I saw this thread. Even though I liked their music when it came out, I would feel gross listening to it now.

I don’t think you’ve actually read any of the comments in this thread. Everything is a legit discussion of EVs and how Musk is handling this. Nobody is bashing China. If anyone is being criticized in this thread, it’s Musk.

No, because the Dreamcast was cool in the first place. Xbox peaked with the 360 and has gone downhill since.

Kurt Cobain has probably been gone longer than these people have been alive.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is what everyone here is missing. They were unprofitable before and are net positive now. The cost cutting and business changes are working.
