Would probably be better if the whole thing was covered by a thin layer of resin. Or if the tire's profile was somehow filled in, at least.

Right. I much prefer edible noodle straws. Less waste, more crunch!

But Burns is canonically older than Gramps!

I see, sorry for misunderstanding. I've also heard about the problem with voting turnout. As a European, the whole US voting system just seems kinda obscure in general. Although, to be fair, the right party voters are also way more likely to vote here than the ones from other parties.

Because they're a small company producing a niche product, so the scale they produce on is way smaller too. They also don't have a huge B2B branch to cover their other costs with, like HP, for example.

And it is actually sometimes more expensive to make something modular than not, just in manpower and testing alone, not even considering RnD and manufacturing. Also, they make less money in repairs or new devices, if the users can just easily repair the device themselves.

So unless they manage to stay in the business for a while and grow their customer base by quite a big amount, their prices will most likely stay the same. Personally I think that they're on a good path to getting there eventually.

It's a little different with Netflix, because of what they started out as. With Youtube, I expected to be advertised to from the beginning, you know? I pay for Youtube Premium and use Sponsor Block to support the creators I watch while having a mostly ad free experience. Also, I just trust most of the creators that I watch to have my best interest in mind in terms of what they advertise.

But for Netflix, their whole thing from the beginning was that they were better TV. That's how they sold it to me. Now they're slowly losing their point. So I'd definitely not be alright with it if they started showing me ads on top of my subscription fee. Same with Prime Video, because I know they're experimenting with that.

And they're right. I mean, Trump's a waste of oxygen, so why should anyone vote for him?

The reason we're stuck on fossil fuels isn't just because of the people's opinions. The main reason is the same as for most other major problems: money.

Isn't Plex also slowly going down the shitter? Like, with their social features and stuff?

For me, it depends on what they're promoting. If it's some crappy mobile game or crypto, I'm out. But I'm fine with the usual shit like energy drinks or VPNs. Like, those things usually have a serious business behind them, even if they might be useless for the vast majority of viewers.

I mean, you're obviously a sexy military mechanic woman, who goes into battle with fantasy battle armor and goes fishing as a hobby! Duh.
