  For some reason, companies in the USA are deathly afraid of someone using sick time when they aren’t actually sick, so they restrict it as tightly as possible. Never mind that this means people are either coming in to work sick, or taking unpaid time off.

  The only part of me that feels in my 40s is my knees

  Hm. That’s a good point.

  Better would be destroying the speakers. I can just look away from the screen showing ads, but it’s still annoying if they’re blaring in my ear.

  The screen used for blaring ads is the same screen that you have to read to be able to use the pump.

  Honestly it’s a great place to hang out when you can’t afford the alternative, too, even if it’s not by choice. There are some absolute gems from decades ago that still hold up to this day.

  The RAM and SSD have gotten that much more expensive to source. Anyone who sells a product with similar components either raises their price, or takes a loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, by virtue of the fact that the Deck and Steam Machine are de-facto PCs, if they made those products loss-leaders, they would get bought up to use for non-gaming purposes and reduce availability for their intended audience. The same thing happened to the PS3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster

  You would be correct if not for the fact that consuming animal protein is waaaaaaay less farmland-efficient and more environmentally damaging than consuming plant-based protein… unless you’re eating meat from sustainably-grown animals. Including carefully-managed hunting of wild animals. Factory-farmed meat, however, is very much not that. Most of the feed that goes to them is ALSO a mono-crop.
