The sad thing is that a nice toy is like 5% of the cost of 4 years of college tuition these days.

I think most of these huge payments are not due to stupid toys, it’s due to college debt, mortgages, and medical debt. I wish it was spent on toys instead.

It’s hard to feel financially secure when the big 3 expenses keep rising faster than inflation: Housing, college, and medical expenses, the latter of which is unexpected.

If only those 3 expenses were reasonable, then we would have more money to spend on things we like and enjoy.

All kinds of EVs (especially e-scooters and other small fun PEVs), and computer hardware.

Unfortunately, gains with hardware are usually met with regressions in software performance.

Zionism does not require any ethnic cleansing of anything, it merely requires a Jewish state.

You’re inspiring me to make an even wider highway in a new city of mine

I have a highway in one of my cities with a local and express lane system, but each system has just 2 lanes in each direction for a total of 4 lanes in each direction.

Ubuntu sometimes does this to me, because of either some Snap thing or some CUPS thing.

Glorious.

I’ve built some cities with many highways, but I don’t think I’ve ever gone over 4 lanes in each direction on any individual highway.

What glorious spaghetti.

How many lanes are each highway? (Where I’m from, they have 2-3 lanes in each direction, and all the traffic occurs when it’s 2 lanes only!!! Better do at least 4 just in case! /s)

I spent way too much time with Bob’s+Angel’s with SpaceX, 160h in and I just unlocked the final tier of modules and now I need to scale up the whole base to get enough science to make the millions of science I need to research everything.

I haven’t even started Space Exploration (which is very different than SpaceX = Space Extension), but I won’t have enough time to play that before the Factorio DLC comes out…

What really should happen is short flights should become electric.

You can get an E-Bike or other personal electric vehicle if you want. Eco-friendly, inexpensive, fun, and won’t leave you drenched in sweat.

You know what? If you enjoy the game, then there’s nothing wrong with continuing to play it, as long as you aren’t spending money on it.

Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.

One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.

On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.

I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.

My idea is to allow premium users to have third-party apps that can be more customizable. Google barely has to lift a finger, premium would get more popular, and the experience would be so much better.

If it can store all kinds of files and be able to bulk process files, it might do the trick for me. Especially if it is able to play back local mp3s.

A good file manager. Something made to be powerful unlike the stock files app.
