Well that’s a confusing headline. Took me a few tries to parse it.

I hate it and yet it’s so accurate. I will provide one upvote and one “damn you” internal monologue comment just to keep it neutral.

Too late, fuckers. Subscription is staying cancelled and I’m not coming back.

Holy shit yes. Compound interest is a hell of a thing.

Find a financial advisor that is a fiduciary, not just some rando on a bus ad or trying to do Bitcoin yourself or using a buddy’s friend or whatever. A fiduciary is legally obligated to work in your best interest, even if it means they lose money themselves.

I would also recommend using someone not related to you or in your social life at all. It’s someone you meet with once a year and their only job is to make you money as fast as possible because they get paid based on how much their clients invest.

Then you can just watch the line go up.

And if you can, make a monthly contribution to that account as well. Even like $50 a month makes a huge difference over the 40-50 years you’ll be investing.

Do you have any links? Plex Blog has nothing about this and all my stuff looks the same as it has for months now. (Although to be fair I use the Plex Preview app on Roku, so maybe I’ve just had what you’re all seeing now?)

Also infuriating. I’ve tried. So many times.

It’s infuriating.

Love my state and city. Minnesota rules.

Federal government can get fucked.

I don’t even want an EA account. I’m on Steam. Fuck off and let me play without all the stupid hoops. I trust Valve to do me right. I trust EA to do me dirty wherever it can, usually right after they have my money.

Per comments in the game page, it’s due for removal from Steam at the end of the month. Probably why the big discount.

Well people can be in the designated area, and you’re right I can avoid that, but it’s not like the smoke magically stays in that area, too. It’s much easier, cheaper, cleaner, and generally more profitable for the business to just ask you to go out to the sidewalk or whatever.

I had the same reaction as a smoker. It’s really not all bad, and as a now non-smoker, it’s great to not wake up the next day to the clothes I wore to the bar smelling like an ashtray, so I now understand the complaints.

And it saves you, the smoker, money because you’re not chain smoking sitting at the bar anymore.

At the end of the day, though, a beer drinker sitting next to a wine drinker is a bit different than a smoker sitting next to a non-smoker, so the whole “you’re already at a bar!” argument is pretty disingenuous and doesn’t really go far with me.

I don’t smoke anymore, but when I did a lot of these types of bans came into effect, and even as a smoker I really came to appreciate it. When I did finally quit, it was nice to not have to deal with smoke everywhere.

You didn’t need to include the quote for your point to stand.

Ok, Millennial. ;)

Snark aside, my local library actually does offer digital access for those that want to use a phone or eReader as their primary consumption method. You should check if yours offers the same! Any effort that gets people reading and thinking is a good thing, in my mind.

Still require linking an EA account and using Origin? Yep? Hard pass.

Can’t stop the signal, Mal.

I didn’t even get 30 seconds into the trailer before stopping to wishlist this. Looks like an excellent 2D homage. Hope it is released at a reasonable price point.

It’s not because the Earth is getting warmer, though, right? It’s probably because Argentina has too many brown people and they all voted for Obama.

Right?

Guys?

Hello?

It’s an Athlon 64 3800. It has no encode or decode cores for anything, sucks for software encode and decode, and burns 90W to do so. An RPi5 is literally almost three times the CPU performance at like 1/20th of the power budget and would probably run Plex better. Recycling is the best option.
