I do t consider bonds or CDs as gambling. They are guaranteed unless the entire financial institution dies, in which case your investment in ammo matters more than money.

I dono what people expected. Discord costs money to develop and run. It was always just a matter of time before it cost money.

A rock through the window is more effective and faster than reading this wall of text.

I mean sure… but using a key to enter isnt really any safer? Like lock picks and jimmys and air bags have been defeating physical locks for even longer? Hell, a brick through a window gets you in faster than anything.

Does it include accidents by autopilot?

The problem os that they rely on their employees… go figure… this just means they cant afford to fire these people.

Heat isnt a great generator of electrical power. At least not at lower temperatures ( below boiling, for steam generation). It also suffers from conversion loss. Anytime you convert energy, there is a loss. Using the heat directly avoids another conversion.

Thats rough… the only thing i use Spotify for is Sam Harris’s podcast, “making sense”. It doesnt have any adds. None at all. Not even read by the host homself. However you do need to pay for the service. I would still recommend it to anyone though.

I love it… but honestly, i spend 99% of my time on desktop, so this just doesn’t help me.

I can think of an old great daily news show that still doesnt have a permanent host… please!!!..

Or run for president.

Wait… theres ads on podcasts even as a premium subscriber?

This fixed most my issues with windows 11.

Im on YouTube more than any other media. Video podcasts, educational videos, news, product reviews and comparisons. how to’s from fixing your dryer to 3d modeling and printing and coding examples.

I find it more entertaining and educational that most moder tv shows and marvel movies.

Two is one, one is none.

I worked for a company that designed home security devices for a few years… Pretty much everyone i talked to agreed there is only 1 actually good security device that is an effective deterrent. Its called “Large Scary Dog”. Every other device is there just to notify you that all your shit is soon to be or already gone.

On the other hand, these digital locks, while not any safer, are much more convenient. I am all in on not having to carry keys and instead have a code to enter or some other easy access.

Netflix’s glass onion may end up a prediction on the level of Idiocracy

Also worth noting in the case of uber, even if price is equal with taxis, the experience is much better. Nicer cars, better drivers and much easier app use. Even at price parity, its a very superior product in most cases.
