Where in the world do these things live? I've never seen anything like it before, and we have some pretty crazy things you can find in a house here in Aus

Why not just spend that little bit extra and build either a BRT (which is what this actually is) with signal priority, or a real tram line with overhead wires and rails and stuff?

Wow, that can add up really quickly. I've been playing around with the free tier for a bit to try and fully understand everything before committing to the move.

I am aware of the per segment fee. I've got mostly large media files to backup and plan to bundle all the small files together into a tarball to reduce the segment counts.

It defaults to the highest quality available. Tidal gives you a flac file

DoubleDouble let's you download from all the major streaming platforms just by giving it a link to what you want downloaded

I hope this company remembers their roots and keeps trying to minimise costs for the end users. Since their IPO, they're expanding aggressively and built 2 new datacentres and are operating at a loss. Being a public company now they are beholden to share holders and will eventually seek to maximise profit.

There's a reason why in the game you could never put a portal on a moving surface

and we were also first in line for things like the COVID vaccine, because the companies could make so much of their profits here....

We were first in line because the US government paid billions to fund the R&D to get the vaccine out. Then when manufacturing started in limited supply it went to the highest bidder first, which again was the US. We paid for it twice . I think that kind of thing should not be patented, we the people paid for the research and development, and the pharma companies got all the profits. If other companies and countries were allowed to manufacture the vaccines, we would have squashed COVID much faster.

I switched to Nebula its affordable and has lots of interesting content from YouTubers I most often watched. Their business is sustainable, pays the creators fairly and has no ads or recommendation algorithm.

I've also tried out Odyssey and had the same issues with it. There was one or two channels I would actually watch, but I think the crypto stuff attracts a certain libertarian type. I don't think it's sustainable long term.

No nonsense from my glass containers. Glass is non-reactive so you can really put anything in it without issues. Acid (like tomatoes) tend to take on a metallic flavour from metal containers like stainless, and plastic can melt if your not careful.
