For me personally is because I don’t have property to charge overnight.

And I’m in a country where China is flooding their EVs in the market.

Edit: to clarify, I am convinced with EV. I’ve been drinking the big oil koolaid for too long and glad I stopped. Better late than never.

Tbf I haven’t really done my research for local charging stations and their prices. Also the fa t that even the market here being flooded with cheap Chinese EVs, it is still more than I can responsibly afford. So for now I keep maintaining my current petrol car.

This actually looks wtf lol

I’m saving this

NGL even from back in reddit I only notice the vote score after I clicked on a post or after reading the comments.

Thanks.

Waterfox and IronWolf installs

Maybe that’s why. I use Zen. Perhaps Waterfox and IronWolf already have uBO installed by default and added that AI block list?

Sorry, I’m still not seeing it. Firefox says uBO is already updated.

That’s why I went with pipepipe. Although I forgot there’s another newpipe fork with sponsorblock.

IIRC pipepipe hard forked long ago and went it’s own way.

I used to do that in forum sites years ago. There’s a kind of exhilarating excitement to it. Especially when I’m “behind” and mass quoting and replying to each quote. It was also exhausting.

I kind of miss it

They put the bar too high up with the quality of season 1. I haven’t watched season 2 and 3 but still read the manga sometimes (not the web version. No offense but I couldn’t get on board with the art lol).

I’m not as much of a SW nerd as my friend, but according to him SW fans are eating good with the massive expansion of the Clone Wars in the past decade.

So the prequel trilogy is really mediocre to be very nice. But seems to me the shows after the Disney acquisition made gold out of that turd.

Everywhere I go I see fucking thorns!

I mean the Naboo duel is pretty cool though.

But yeah I’d be highly annoyed if I had to wait three hours in line for that movie.

What is this Eagle library? I too collect images from shows and series I like. And fanarts. I assume this is all digital. I don’t have the physical space to collect physical art

Plastic model kits. Especially from Bandai. Please send help

Idk how it is with PirateSoftware nowadays. I haven’t gotten any clips from him or about him after 1) some stupid WoW drama 2) and especially after his stupid ass takes on Stop Killing Games.

Either way I militantly curate my YouTube feed anyways so

IIRC, no, they don’t. They put the onus of proving the project is legit on the project maker and on the backers to be vigilant not falling for too good to be true projects.

Over the years kickstarter has become just another big marketing platform for big brands (for their niche) and pushing out smaller projects.

As a former serial backer, over the years I “only” have backed 40 or so (I don’t remember the exact number and don’t want to check now) and only 2 that failed to deliver. One, in hindsight, is blatantly a scam and kickstarter didn’t do anything about it. The other one that didn’t deliver is just mismanagement. At least it looked like it. Could still be a scam.

I haven’t checked how big the ones that I still frequent there (like /r/manybaggers and /r/onebag) but they do still have organic real people posts. Anything news, tech, or politics, anything of that size, I just abandon any hope they’re not troll infested and LLM bots. Not to mention meme subs and themed artwork subs. Just full of vote farming bots. I need the art source, you dinguses!

On the bright side, /r/sbcgaming have a comms here and can also tie into retrogaming

As well as flashlights.

The other big one is Chinese fountain pens that clearly mimic more well known brands.

Patent on the Pilot Vanishing Point as far as I can tell has expired and that Majohn (Moonman) and Jinhao have made cheaper versions.

VPs are still bloody expensive for me and I don’t want to gamble and see if I like it for that much money (and try to sell i t off if I don’t like it).

Turns out I like retractable fountain pens but the jinhaos and majohn one I suppose isn’t as well made and dry out quickly. From a bunch of reviews I’ve consumed they could be as good at not drying out but for the cheap price it’s a QC issue.

So now what? Throw away perfectly fine cheap pens just to get the real one?

But on the flip side, I have tried a Lamy 2000 and I love it and I know there are blatant copies and homages from the Chinese brands and I won’t get them.

Hobbies are just weird.

But at the end of the day, I think the cheap brands should he celebrated even copies because it’s a good entryway to the hobby. If a pen hasn’t been produced for decades, then someone else made new copies or homages, then I don’t blame anyone wanting those instead of having to hunt for vintage pens and hoping to restore it (by themselves or sending it to someone).

I’m in the process of listening to the album. Mind you, that album is the same-ish age as me.

By Back Side of the Moon, I’m convinced this can be in the OG Deus Ex game. Or maybe System Shock.

Oh I’m just referring to Steam games. I’m a PC gamer just because I don’t buy consoles (because they’re expensive lol) and Steam just have great discounts compared to PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.

For full priced games, which used to be only $60 USD, now somehow $80-$90 — thanks Nintendo — is far too expensive for me. $45 too. $30 is starting to be okay. Oh and pardon me for not saying where I’m from but my country got cheaper regional pricing on Steam so I just use USD prices like tiers of pricing.
