We’re only a couple weeks in, but I think its good so far. I think the bigger pro to the switch is futurr proofing against dnd enshitification

Mechwarrior 5: Clans ! And my DnD group recently switched over to Pathfinder 2e

S-tier list

Same…

Best roguelike ever, in my oppinion, is ADOM. Especially using the original ASCII graphics. It has more depth and content than any other game Ive encountered. And the original version is still completely free (paid version adds pixel graphics and some advanced options)

Being the reason they put up a sign.

I can make more money working during the delivery process than Id save by picking it up myself or taking time to cook.

I use it as one of several sites…there are some things they are still the best / most convenient for. For cheap chinese crap (which is often all I need for small projects etc) temu and aliexpress now undercut amazon considerably. For quality items that are ok to buy used, ebay.

ANYTHING that costco sells will almost always be the best choice, but they have a very limited selection.

So in short, amazon is very much still in play, but as one of many, not the go-to anymore.

Strong dissagree. I am barely functional pre-caffeine in the early morning. A Keurig is about as much mental energy as I can muster to operate. It is a godsend to me on day I work early.

Im interested in an answer to this too…I have been wearing Eccos for years, but recently they too have fallen victum to QoverQ (Quarterly profits over Quality).

Or be a unicorn breeder, because that job also exists.

I’m not.

Anarchy, in it’s purest sense, is to a system what darkness is to light. Darkness is the absence of light, not a thing in-and-of itself. Anarchy is the lack of an establishment or system, rather than a system in itself.

What this means, in practical application, is that most anarchists are simply opposed to whatever system exists currently. Human nature dictates that SOME system will exist as long as we do, so true anarchy can only exist when there are no longer humans around to perceive it.

In historical context, this almost always means that when anarchy “takes over,” what it creates is a “systemic void” which - like any vacuum - quickly gets filled. Usually by the guy with the biggest stick.

Depending on what you consider technology:

I have several firearms well over 100 years old in perfectly operational condition.

Quite a few kitchen appliances from the 70s that will never die.

And a working Apple IIgs.

As far as use on a daily or near daily basis, I have a 1974 Fender guitar amp, and a few other speakers and musical instruments that are vintage that are also going to outlive me.

I cant imagin how many 3.5 cables I’d have ruined onstage…they are simplynot stromg enough.

I was in your boat, and the strips just dont cut it for me.

I bought a cheap pack of “nasal dialators” on amazon (tried a variety pack first to find the size that worked best, now settled on ‘large’). They’re basically plastic cones that force your nostrils open. They hurt a little at first, but now im used to them and breathe SO MUCH better.

A few years back a guy did agood dive into this on (other website name redacted). He said for things like digital camersand other high draw items, Duracell is still the champ - however, $/hour of use, some cgeaper bands came out ahead. I still have half a giant pack of AC Delco AA / AAAs that have been quite solid.

These and “Sucrets” - for when you throat hurts and you want novacaine in tablet form.
