$13.99 is a very high price for something that gets you 2 days worth of meal tops. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate though ?

Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that's a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I'm pretty sure you can't stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.

Being vegan is legitimately cheap, I'm not sure why I got downvoted ? It felt like an appropriate place to bring it up, I don't often mention it online cause I know no one cares x)

My meals legit cost me less than 1€ each.

Can't you "just" set up openvpn or something ? I'm not sure what CloudFlare tunnels do, I'm a bit of a control freak so delegating to CF always seemed like it's against my principles or something x)

(Genuinely curious, idk how that stuff works cause I never looked into it)

It's a little confusing to me how it could be physically possible that there'd be no difference.

I'm not saying I think I could tell which is which, but surely they can't sound the same ? Or if they do, why do we even use copper, instead of just making cables out of the cheapest random conductive substance available ? Is copper just that substance ?

I agree. We do have to be quite careful about the optics thing, though. It's not enough to be on the side of the people, the people also have to feel like you're on your side.

The right has that part down real good, and we're getting wrecked in many places because of that fact alone.

I don't even use "being awake" 16 hours a day 😂

This has existed since the 2010s, the patent should never even have been granted to Meta.

Do not give in. If you can't play it on your machine, do not play it. There are other games, and if all else fails, other hobbies that do respect you.

I can touch type QWERTY, but I struggle on laptop keyboards because it's easy to lose your position.

I have a Glove80 keyboard on my desktop, it's very easy to stay put since the keyboard is made exactly so your hands are on the home row.

Hopefully dogs are more resistant to X-rays than we are : we stopped X-raying pregnant people because the babies had very high leukemia rates afterwards...

For-profit companies cannot be relied on for this kinda thing (for anything at all). TeamSpeak is good now, maybe, but there's nothing actually protecting it from turning to shit the very instant management changes.
