Look for safety glasses. Some come with polarized or photochromic lenses too.

Maybe not the most stylish, but they work, and are legit safety glasses so they’re far more durable (and protective) than Luxottica sunglasses. I’ve had a few that basically look like regular sport sunglasses.

American flags everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE. I get a bit of national pride but holy crap, every other house in the street is flying a flag, clothing has flag patterns, bumper sticker American flag, it’s everywhere. And no, it wasn’t even close to July 4.

It’s like Americans are afraid they might forget what country they’re in if they aren’t in sight of a flag at all times.

Nebula: pay $300 once, lifetime access. They had it up for a week on a trial run a while ago, and they decided to bring it back for now.

curiosity stream: I think I found a deal on Stack Social, + coupon, that worked out to $180. The basic 1080p format only. Again, pay once, lifetime access.

The payoff time for Nebula is around 8 years (not counting possible price increases in the future), so you’ll have to have faith that they’ll last that long. I hope they do though. Curiositystream is obviously less. Then again, the immediate cash infusion they get from this can also help them survive/expand faster.

I just bought the lifetime option.

Anyways both Nebula and Curiositystream have lifetime subscriptions available right now… 90% of my YouTube viewing is from creators on those sites anyway

Or they can include $20 wireless earbuds and say “Early preorder bonus earbuds, a $200 value if you ORDER NOW NOW NOW”

I greatly prefer it. Basically all high quality headphones are wired only… and even an equivalent wireless headphone is more expensive and more stuff to carry (gotta carry those charging cases with them). Just give me my damn port.

it’ll hit business servers first… speed and power draw = profits. Even if they cost 1000x more than SSDs, the power savings and speed alone could pay for itself in a datacenter.

The power draw and nonvolatility could mean it can replace SSDs and hard drives entirely. Just store everything in RAM.

it can mean “decent, better than I expected”

or

“good, but not exceptional or memorable”

The amount of cash I use is only decreasing with every year. I’m not going to further inconvenience myself just to validate a pickle jar.

the problem now is that I’ll just have a big pickle jar with 45 cents. Next year, I’ll have a pickle jar with 60 cents… maybe by the time I retire I’ll have a whole five dollars of change and exchange it for a bill…

I’ve had like ~70 cents sitting on the shelf for over a year… like, what an I going to do with it? It’s just a pointless pile of coins. half the time those coins are in the wrong combination to pay for whatever other change in my next cash transaction, so I just end up with more coins… which I have to remember to grab when I’m specifically going to a cash-only place…

Do people still carry cash these days? Maybe if I was going to a garage sale or some private transaction… but even for those it’s more convenient to do an e-transfer. Some businesses don’t even have cash registers any more, just a card reader.

I’m already fairly satisfied with the newer plant-based meat replacements. They just need to come down in price to below actual meat.

If camping is too effective, then the map or weapon balance is what needs work.

For example, of people are camping spawn points, why is the spawn point so easily accessible at all? Why don’t players spawn behind cover with multiple exit points? Do they not get temporary invulnerability?

Or camping objectives. Why is there only one, easily defended path to the objective? Why isn’t there a path for you to sneak up and just stab the camper in the ass while he’s staring down the scope? Or just walk around him and ignore him completely?

Watch some professional CS:GO. Those maps have been refined and balance-tweaked for decades. You can’t just camp one objective because there are two objectives. Every good camping spot is still leaves you exposed to getting flanked. Even with arguably the most OP camper’s weapon in any competitive game - the AWP, teams still only run 1 AWP, maybe 2 at most. Simply because camping alone isn’t effective.

maybe he’s hoping that people accidentally mistaking the button for “close window” will drive up traffic

No, they aren’t rare on earth. Most of them are quite common, it’s just that the ancient Greeks didn’t know how to extract/purify them so they called them rare. The name is 2500 years out of date, but it’s stuck.

Maybe it incorporates some Element Zero and the Mass Effect altered the local gravity
