Imagine being 10 or 20 years into your mortgage and suddenly you can't afford your payments anymore due to a rate increase. You have to sell the house and then try to find another one at the inflated rate and then start back from square one.

Pretty sure those were outlawed after the 2008 recession.

Still any more than 2 seems like a waste since PCs also have dedicated video, audio, power, and data ports. USB-C makes sense on laptops and phones because you can lump all those things into one or two ports. This isn't necessary on a PC and just adds extra cost with little benefit.

My board from 2018 has a rear USB-C and header for front USB-C. I've only used only one of them a handful of times in all these years to transfer large files to/from a phone and this is coming from someone with a lot of different devices that use USB to interface with the PC.

And if you're spending all that money, why not get the bigger board that allows you more options/room to grow in the future? I imagine SFF PCs are more common for dedicated builds or aesthetic reasons

How the heck is USB-A a legacy port and what would I do with 11 USB-C ports on a PC when everything I plug into it besides my phone (depending on the cable) has a USB-A connector? Like how would I even use something as simple as a flash drive or Bluetooth/wifi/radio transmitter?

USB-C makes a ton more sense for mobile devices, docks, and charging, but not so much when you're plugging them into a suitcased size brick that doesn't move. I could see useful applications for something powered that needs a lot of bandwidth, but PCs also come with dedicated ports for all those peripherals too.

You know someone is well informed when they leave a 6 word rebuttal and think they just dunked on everyone in the comment section.

Honestly I agree with your sentiment with regard to video games but not with tobacco. By this point, everyone knows tobacco is bad for you. If you choose to use and get addicted to it, that's just you exercising your bodily autonomy.

How realistic is this though especially when certain mechanics get unlocked later in the game? The fact that these micro transactions, loot boxes, and everything else only exist to enrichen a few select people at the expense of everyone playing the game, it makes it hard to feel sympathetic toward these companies.

I live on the other side of the country and this has been my experience with every Walmart I've ever visited.

Perhaps it's a critique on the quality of the rest of the posts.

I'm almost 40 and the CW had the same shit back when I was a teenager with shows like Smallville. It's crazy they're still following the same exact formula today 20+ years later.

That was my impression too but after rereading it, I wonder if it's satire taking a dig at our insane reality in the US.

Do they work in the legal profession?

All your data posted above apart from a single anecdote from a firefighter are from before this law even passed at the end of 2020. Seems like you're arguing the old way wasn't working.

Sucks for those leap year babies.

Except we don't have a practical way to store any of this energy and there is always a constant baseline demand that can be met in part by techniques that don't need to be constantly spun up and then back down and work day and night, rain or shine.

No, I'm comparing your argument to the justifications of a wife beater.

The one that wins of course. Your vote lead to Trumps victory.

Not to mention the footprint. Bed slingers need a much larger workspace area in order for the extruder to reach the entire bed area. I'm a bot skeptical of the printer listed above though. It has a really tiny bed and not that great of print speed. Plus looking at the page they list things like "5:1 gear reduction" three separate times (who cares what the drive ratio is?) which leads me to believe it's built with cheap parts and lacks a lot of features standard on even cheap Ender machines.

I saw it posted all over Lemmy within days of the original claim. Apart from notifying you personally to any changes, how would you really correct this?
