Patreon and sites like it exist as a hedge against YouTube banning your channel.

What's hilarious is that divx was the most popular pirate format back in the day before they went commercial use and xvid replaced it.

I don't even think that's right. It was a service you got for free for buying a pixel before they moved it to Google one.

My six year old thinks it looks cool. If you adjust for hot wheels demographics I think they're golden

You're on the right track but comparing the wrong things. It's cost of the rounds vs the cost of not stopping the incoming weapon (ie lives and damages), not vs the cost of the incoming weapon.

Believe it or not windy city has nothing to do with actual wind, the phrase was from our politicians being blow-hards

Got a pair of devices a bit like the halo to keep in the cars going forward. Car went in the shop a few days later for something unrelated but they tested the battery and there was nothing wrong with it, the engine was just too cold.

I live in Chicago and both my relatively new cars wouldn't start without a jump last week...

Not "start from anywhere" like this service is.

It's the cell plan not the server costs unfortunately. When they moved to app based starting from anywhere you need to start paying the cell carrier for that wireless connection.

There's unfortunately no trick to bringing home full 4x8 sheets which is generally what I need. And the rental is too much hassle, especially for small quantities. You need somewhere to park a 4x8 trailer, they're not small.

It's much more time consuming and problem prone. I've lived this way for years now and want to be able to just drive out and haul shit without the hassle. This shit is a hobby and the rental nonsense makes it feel like work.
