I’d recommend one of these
A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.
You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car
Cup your hands over your ears with your fingers on the back of your head so you can’t really hear anything.
Tap your fingers for 30 seconds
You might get a minute of silence to enjoy
Not much but remember life is all about the little things
Or just roll them around in a bowl
Shaking is not required
Money or currency is a way to represent value
It is a medium of exchange
Could your boss pay you in cows? Could you take those cows and trade them for a car? Yes but this would be difficult.
So if your boss gave you a cow voucher “money” and you could trade that for a car, then you wouldn’t have to lug the cows around.
It facilitates trade
Why a US dollar, or another currency, has value is a whole other question
Socialism. Production and distribution is owned by the community (government).
It has nothing to do with “Handouts”. Or helping your neighbor really.
There is no redistribution of wealth. That is communism.
Socialism with handouts is communism.
You could have a completely Socialistic society that let’s some of it’s people starve because it benefits the majority.
A great example to look at socialism is the nazi party creating Volkswagen.
People in Germany needed an affordable car. They created the production and distribution of affordable cars, owned and operated by the controlling government party.
Now, you can debate all you want on if it was a good or bad idea.
Average German looking for simple affordable car? Probably would think it was a good idea.
Rich German looking for a Duesenberg? Probably hates the idea of Volkswagen and spending their tax dollars on it.
Poor German? They aren’t getting a car anyways
A large government can easily have a monopoly on a good or service.
If that’s a good or bad thing is debatable
For example, say America was 100% Socialistic.
Government would gain access to all satalites and towers and issue the Volkstelefon. Affordable phone and internet for everyone!
Sounds great?
Imagine if tomorrow Trump issued his phone in that style.
Probably not a good idea?
So why all the hate?
ELI5: Because socialism is not always the right answer just like capitalism isn’t always the right answer.
You can tell it’s not southern because they say soft drinks instead of coke.
“Dew ta nawt havin’ wader we can’t sail ya coke”
But what you’re saying is that it is to provide people with an alternative path from windows.
Even if the steam machine had windows on it, the majority of the same people would buy it.
My point is very few people are going to buy the steam machine to get away from windows
“Steam says this works for everything I own” Purchased no matter what.
Not “I want a new PC without windows, let me try out the new steam machine”
I agree with you.
But my point is someone that bought a W10 pre-built computer is not the person looking at the steam machine saying “Maybe a different operating system would improve my experience”
Yes it does but you only get put in a crossplay lobby if your party is mixed.
On top of going against m/kb players, aim assist for controller is turned off.
It’s really not that enjoyable and highlights why controllers and m/kb shouldn’t be mixed.
It’s like talking a snowboard to a ski jump contest. Snowboards are fun and can do a lot of different things than skis. And in a contest where everyone is snowboarding it’s great. But you’ll never win a jumping contest.
Ehh
I feel like most people that really care about their operating system are more than likely going to build a PC
Most people buying a pre-built device are like Apple users “It just works”
I have an expensive PC I built but I’m a console gamer
I enjoy a comfy couch, big TV, and controller.
It’s the ease of just hitting a couple buttons and getting to play a game.
Could I hook my PC to my TV? Yes, but that would require me to move my PC from my desk.
Also things like controllers. If I hooked my PC to my TV to play something like Overwatch I’d have to play with m/kb people which I would be at a severe disadvantage if I played with a controller.
Like if Xbox overwatch allowed m/kb (yeah I know people cheat) I’d probably stop playing it.
It’s the PC gamers that always want consoles to support m/kb. Console gamers do not want to play on m/kb.
In my mind lack of m/kb is why consoles exist
People aren’t buying PS/Xbox for a living room PC. They want a console gaming experience
Where’s the lemon party?
Thing is you can’t make everyone happy.
Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.
I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.
So much of DST is misunderstood
Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”
Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.
Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.
I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
Let’s look at NY city.
June 21th longest day, sunrise is at 5:24 am (Set 8:31 pm)
December 21th longest night, sunrise is at 6:42 am (Set 4:32 pm)
If you got rid of daylight savings time then the sun would rise at 4:24 am in June and set at 7:31 pm.
(Most people in NY probably want the extra hour of light at 7:31 pm instead of 4:24 am)
If you kept permanent daylight savings then the sun would rise at 7:42 am in December and set at 5:32 pm)
(Most people in NY probably want some light before 8 because it’s going to be dark after dinner anyways)
So many people are awake before 8 am compared to 5 am
So many people enjoy the light at 7:30 pm in the summer
Switching really is the sweet spot for NY
Location is definitely important too in hating or liking DST
Ontonagon, Mi sun sets at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)
Dexter, Me sun sets at 4:10 pm tonight (6:33 am rise)
Same time zone, both northern cities.
If we didn’t get off DST Ontonagon wouldn’t see the sunrise until almost 9 am today
People in Dexter might have preferred to stay on DST getting light between 7:33 am to 5:10 pm today
The farther west you live in a time zone the less you like DST generally. Farther east, the more you like it.
Ontonagon is so west it should really be in Central Time zone.
If that was the case then the sun would set at 4:25 pm tonight (6:58 am rise) (basically Dexter ME times)
At that point they might want to stay on DST and it would make it exactly what it was today, sunset at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)
Should just have dimes.
$1.1 $1.2 $1.3
There’s no reason to break our currency into thousandths. Hardly a reason to break it into hundredths.
Could keep quarters to keep hundredths
Transactions already need a nickel to do 5 cents. So requiring a quarter to do 5 cents isn’t crazy.
Say you have to pay $1.05
Dollar and 3 dimes, quarter in change.
$1.15
Dollar and a quarter, dime in change.
But I think just dimes are needed
You’ve never seen Maximum Overdrive
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:17
You sprinkle some more cereal on the milk whenever you run out of cereal.
The whole point is to not have soggy cereal
Really depends on preference and cereal type
It’s less of an argument between milk first vs second, but people that like soggy vs crunchy cereal.
The important thing is to not add too much cereal before you can eat it all. Adding in cereal last just helps make sure you don’t.
