When I play it's usually solo games, and I never had an issue with 20fps+ . If performance drops below that, I'm visually ok with 16fps, but usually at that range my system is struggling with game mechanics and that's the deal breaker for me

I'm extremely OOTL here. Bit.ly rings a bell but I can't tell if I interact with it or how. Guess I'll find out when I see the ads

What? Where is the explanation? I'm still not getting it

I disagree with your last sentence, but not the rest of the comment. Plenty of ways to celebrate your SO without spending. It's easier to celebrate without consumerism than Christmas or New Years for that matter.

Absolutely disgusting I hope she can get away without paying. Ridiculous

Thanks, $9 AUD is on the pricier end. I can make a conversion too but I find I need the context of the cost of living for it to make sense, hence why I compared it to other food prices.

Also- are these free range, cage free or cage eggs?

Okay I've used both but in Australia so no brand opinions, never seen the ones you mention.

Pantyhose has to be of good quality (ie. Not from mystery brand on AliExpress) or they will constantly slide down, which is very annoying. They will also ladder and tear more easily rendering them single use basically. So get a reasonable brand. You will have to try and see.

I'm presuming you have female anatomy like me. Crotchless pantyhose can be a better option for the toilet if that's your concern, but that depends on how neat and tidy you are with your business. I couldn't. I'd be getting piss droplets on the pantyhose if I had to go wearing them. For me that's too gross of an option.

The main advantage of pantyhose is that it's easier to put on (think of your routine if you need this on a daily basis), it usually stays where you leave it, and it covers the whole leg. It's also even all along, whereas holdups may show through the fabric of whatever other garment you are wearing if it's tight enough.

Holdups as mentioned may show through the fabric. They're also more difficult to get right, I've never bought holdups that stayed put without using a garter belt. If you have super firm legs then you may have better luck than me though . In my experience, the holdups either stay in place but dig too much into the leg which looks awful, or, they fall down a lot. So I've used garter belts, and here we have another variable which is that of the clasp+holdup edge types. The more discreet clasps are button type and usually don't latch well on most holdups, they snap free when you move and your socks fall. The crocodile style clasps do bite and stay but, again, you can see the bumps through the skirt in many cases depending on the fabric.

For sizing, always err on the larger one. Unless you are super skinny. I'm not sure of your sizes, I use metric system, I only know I'm 5'7" and 64 kgs with a pronounced hourglass shape. And I'm usually a L, and when it comes to hosiery at least Tall. My sister is a few cms taller than me, and needs ExtraTall or nothing. So it sounds like you'd be extra tall/Large, unless you are very skinny and thin.

Hope this helps. Good luck with it

Same here in Australia, there are cheaper options at the supermarket but often the quality doesn't look good. Bit of a hit and miss

I'm a woman and I absolutely love eggs, if someone gifted me a dozen I would get excited.

Now, I kept seeing references about egg prices being ridiculous here on Lemmy. I live in Australia and free range eggs here are rather expensive, around $6 - $9 a dozen. For some perspective for Americans, here with $8.90 you can get a Big Mac (no fries, no drinks), or for $7.95 a regular size popcorn chicken at KFC. Personally the average cost of groceries if I am cooking myself is around $15 to $20 per day, but I don't eat a lot.

How do egg prices stack against other things in the States?

Hmmm.... Looking at Cthulu and not sure what to think about here

Fair, another possibility, thanks for the answer
