This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I'm not going to be licking used games to find out if they're real, though.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

Honestly, I went to a small sling backpack to get everything out of my pockets. It gets uncomfortable, but I didn't realize it because I was putting everything in my pockets for so long. Sitting with one side higher because of my wallet in my back pocket, and a big bulky phone shoved against my thigh, etc. Now I have a belt case for my phone and everything else in my bag, and jeans have never been more comfortable.

~~Goof Troop~~ A Goofy Movie would be one of my picks. 1995, I think.

I kinda got grandfathered into Youtube Music by using (and enjoying) Google Music, and since YT Premium was only like $2 more, I got it. I primarily use it for the music. The no-ads is just a bonus for me, I guess.

If you aren't ready to fully commit to installing it on a hard drive, you could probably make a live USB stick of Linux. There are installers built to run on windows that will install Linux onto a USB drive, which you can boot from after turning off your PC. That way, you don't need to worry about wiping or resetting an old computer just to see if you like it.

Unfortunately, most Windows users are not tech savy and will never move to Linux, regardless of how user-friendly Linux becomes. It would take large-scale retailers switching their computers to have Linux pre-installed instead of Windows before any meaningful transition happens.

I use them too, but I guess I never really thought about socks "breaking in," like shoes would. After 1-2 years of use, they are holding up like new.

Put your money where you spend your time. Don't spend money on something if you won't be using it.

You spend a lot of time sleeping, so get a nice, comfortable mattress. Spend a lot of time on your feet at work? Get durable, comfortable shoes/boots, and maybe some nice insoles so you don't limp back to your car from pain. Spend a lot of time playing a F2P video game? Go ahead and buy that DLC or cosmetic item to make it more fun, and support the devs to keep the game going.

The list can go on, but before any non-trivial purchase, I ask myself how much time I will spend using it.

Some bands I see sell cassette tapes and vinyl records at their shows. These tend to be heavy metal bands. There's a niche interest in physical media in music, and it's mostly for analog mediums.

They're against pornography, not prostitutes. There's a difference, I guess.
