Pick which one to save and which one to sacrifice. Smash the sacrifice with a hammer to free the other, break them both and realize this is just so like you and every single thing you try to do starts with a half baked plan, then goes off the rails and ruins everything until you’ve nothing to do but pick up the pieces.

If the primary benefit was reduced electricity usage, then that’s not a function of crypto mining, that’s just less heating. You would get the exact same results with an electric heater maintaining the same temperatures. You have demonstrated that turning the heat down by a few degrees can save a noticeable amount of money.

You got some crypto out of it, about $13.50 worth, at the cost of whatever wear and tear and reduction in life your computer systems may have suffered, but in the end all you did was just put in a whole lot of effort to turn down the thermostat.

No, Salvation Army can get fucked. You couldn’t pay me to shop there.

no.

I dunno, I only have 3417 hours played in Rimworld, I’m not sure that qualifies as infinitely replayable. _/s

“How could this badly designed thing work if it wasn’t so badly designed?” Sometimes, if you can’t make a thing work, the solution is to use something else that does. And sometimes the solution is just to make it better, like directing the IR detection beams just to either side of the water stream.

Well, you can sue someone for anything, you just can’t win for anything. For instance, those developers could countersue because the negligence and bad parenting of those parents materially damaged the reputation of those companies.

That’s really tragic, after all we surely all recognize the great strides he took toward uniting Korea! Of course most of them were strides towards Food Aid, but he needed to get his steps in anyway.

Problem solved, lads, let’s go home. Right?

Now compare what flying in the 60’s cost to what it costs today. If you want some magical luxury experience, you can fly First Class and get a comfortable seat with extra amenities and preferential treatment, but you’re still just buying the cheap tickets aren’t you.

Yes, the airline is squeezing every penny they can out of everything they can, and they’re doing it because consumers are dramatically more sensitive to price than quality. When you look at the booking selection and the available flights are all more or less going to get the job done, you and just about everyone else will pick the one that costs $20 less, completely ignoring the First Class option that costs $800+ more. It’s why everything seems to be shitty and cheap these days, quality goods and experiences still exist, but we don’t pay for quality when the economy option costs a third as much.

On the model 3, yeah, because of all the rain pouring in.
