Yes. The sad truth is that PC hardware has become significantly more expensive and this is what things cost now. Until new fabs are built that can meet the demand it doesn’t look like prices will be coming down. That’s unfortunately still at least several years away.
Yes, it is one of the main reasons I started paying for Kagi. Google search is designed first and foremost to serve you up to advertisers who pay Google.

I’ve never seen the New York Post described as “esteemed” before.
In my experience, no. Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian people are all below “white people” and above most other “non-whites” in their racial hierarchy. I think white supremacists usually give them bonus points for being European so its not as virulent a hatred as with other groups, but it’s still there.
You could tax tires, it avoids all the tracking while still distributing road maintenance costs based off actual use of the roads.
I don’t, I quit Facebook almost a decade ago and then Reddit when they did the API bullshit. I do still end up on Reddit sometimes through search results but I nuked my account and will never create another one.

If we could get resources from space without having to extract them on earth that seems inherently better even if the same MBA shitheads are running the space mines. It would make it a lot easier to prohibit harmful resource extraction methods if they can also be economically accomplished without having to destroy irreplaceable ecosystems, for example.
Demarchy. Random selection is good enough as long as the pool is big and fresh people get cycled in regularly. It sidesteps a whole host of problems, and the new problems it introduces are relatively minor in my view.
Epic is worth a lot more than $1.5b
Yep, I grew up being taught Catholics were fake Christians who worship Mary and their saints instead of god, and in so doing are actually worshipping demons because “Satanists” control the Catholic church.
Scamming old people has grown into a massive and well organized industry that brings in billions in profits per year. It is a huge problem that has continued to get worse. As others have said, this is 100% a scam. They will inevitably use any number of techniques to extract money from him. It is very possible they already have and he just hasn’t told you yet, it is not uncommon for the victims to be secretive about what the scammers are getting them to do.
