From your comment I assume you are American, since I heard that people pack your bags at your stores. In Germany and probably most of Europe a typical checkout process works differently and probably solves the problem.

1. You put your stuff on a large transport band, emptying your cart (probably have those as well)
2. When you’re up you move your cart at the large area after the cashier
3. The cashier registers everything and pushes it to you into that big area
4. You put everything in your bags while they are working
5. Cashier finishes, you make your payment
6. You pack the last 3 items that are remaining

Some stores also introduced a simple “switch” that makes the products of the person after you slide into a seperate area, to save time .

Just leaving a “Aber die Spaltmaße” comment here.

But also the deciders in the dev studios, that take the money even if it doesn’t fit or don’t integrate it properly.

I don’t mind a little ad in the menu, about stuff directly related to game I’m playing. Those little “Hey we released a new content dlc to this exact game” infos can actually be informative. What I really can’t stand is stuff breaking the immersion of the game. I’m not even mad about product placements, when they fit the theme and are sparsely used.

Your focusshould be on something that catches his interest. Depending on the child I’d say choose stuff that is easily to learn but has some depth too it. If you want to invest some time do some projects with him, to give easy goals to achieve and continue. Be the rabbit hole.

How to buy a company, without actually buying the company.

Glad that yours is holding up so long. I bought a R2 around that time and keep the chassis barely 2 years. Some designer thought it was a great idea to put a single vent GPU 1cm above the HDD, resulting in regular overheating of the GPU. I extracted all the components and moved them to a new chassis. It died 4 years ago.

Yeah I thought so too. But I’m not reading any comics or mangas, just plain old text books. But it’s great, that the technology is there.

They need to keep the criminals at bay.

TIL: There are couloured ink displays now. Not sure if this is really necessary for my purposes though.

I try to eat as few highly processed food as possible. Nearly all industrial meals and convenience products are packed with artificial substances to improve taste and especially optimize production cost. Most prominent water in combination with something to adjust viscosity.

Full meal replacements are the pinnacle of high processed foods IMO. You take “everything that a human needs” mix it with water and stuff it with aroma.

I got some problems with this approach:

• I’m not confident that there is really everything I need in it

• Extracting nutrition from food usually takes time, drinks are easy to process and probably release nutrition much fast (needs confirmation)

• Eating is not only about getting nutrition, chewing also triggers effects on your body

• Eating only artificial stuff destroys your taste, a lot of people are so used to highly processed stuff that they can’t even appreciate the taste of high quality food

• Take a break for eating, you can socialise with your family or coworkers and give your body time to regenerate

Satisfactory

It’s awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let’s say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

Bought 20 pairs of identical black socks. Best investment ever.

Saw it in a sneak preview, definitely not worth the 4€ and 2h

Splice, that film didn’t make sense at all.

Absolutely right, but nobody should expect it to be a perfect solution to all the problems.

I’d like to see such a rule, but doubt that there won’t be any loopholes to circumvent it. You can already see some of those in sports. There are a lot of stories on how clubs “dealt” with financial fair play in european football and I heard rumors of a similar thing with the american salary cap too.

Just some ideas:

• ridiculously long contracts with “fair” pay
• managers are working for a seperate company that only contains managers
• seperate overpayed contracts for a none existing job
• material/service based rewards like private jets

All in all good luck with finding a politician pushing this through (most lf the are exactly in those positions) and finding all the loopholes. Rich people can pay a lot of experts to become even richer

$250 seems like a normal price for Apple peripherals.

It’s an Usb-A gender changer. It’s not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I’d rather buy a usb-c cable though.
