An immersion blender, it was $30 but it made my soups seem gourmet and let me recycle my gallons of lard into the best soap I have ever used.

Aside from that, I replaced two of my mismatched odd shaped PC monitors with 27" 4k monitors and the difference is amazing. The monitors were so cheap too only $110 each. Together with my super fancy main screens it really cleaned up the desktop.

I've worked in 2 different schools in the IT department and 4 others as a volunteer lecturer (I got a name tag that said Technology Evangelist) I found that putting an analog clock on the screen saver of computers in the classroom was more likely to result in the clock actually being on time.

Too many clocks in classrooms are very old or even battery powered but neglected.

I don't think kids are dumb just they aren't getting a world that is properly maintained by competent people that care about their work and are adequately resourced to do the whole job.

I'm just going to assume those 4 dollar words are real and you aren't just misspelling normal words to fuck with us.

Non surjective free magma? What about the doblastic amortized basalt?

See they're having us fill the whole back up again. This isn't a mass grave. They're just putting us to work! See creating jobs why complain?

Adobe basically invented the SaaS model. It's not really practical to bootleg most Adobe products anymore either so most people break down and just pay the million dollar a year subscription fee so they can keep using it.

Communism is incompatible with private property or classes which is why no matter how many states write "communism" on the tin, what they actually put in it is just fascist enforced state capitalism.

China is not more communist or even socialist than the USA. A strong ruling class loves fascism and hates socialism. They are actively hostile to communism.

China is state capitalism anyway. There isn't much Communist about them. The "party" is their 1% permanent ruling class.

That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.

The developer can't force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn't tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.

This isn't a problem with the app It's a problem with the Apple.

I'm curious where you are that a business line doesn't cost more than a residential one because in my area it's three times as much. I am fortunate enough that I get symmetrical gigabit for $90 a month and although they don't promise static IP my IP has not changed in a while.

If I wanted to get a real static IP I would have to upgrade to a business line It would cost $280 a month.
