It’s on the Internet, it must be true

I placed the thing in a plate. It’s plated now.

But yeah, I get your point.

When does cooking stop counting as a basic day to day survival thing and start counting as a hobby?

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

logarithms?

I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?

Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.

I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.

While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

Sure, but from some point up enterprise-class tech stops making sense for home use.

I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

You’re probably conditioned to expect useless red circles everywhere.

Also “200 100” is very different from “100”.

I’m with you on the one about Instagram. I’m a hobbyist photographer trying to maintain a decent portfolio and it grinds my gears that in order to publish a collab post for example, I have to do it from the app on my phone.

Depends on the flight really. In your case I’d say yeah, it makes sense to upgrade; in my case I’m talking about a sub-1-hour flight that costs $60 in total without any upgrades. I’m on the taller side, but I’m still fine with a regular seat for such a short flight.

Got an extra legroom seat in the airplane by chance.

I have very little to do with the US and said tariffs, so I’m not affected directly.

In general though I try to be rational with big(ger) purchases - I research things for at least a week or two before buying (but more often it’s months) and try to maximise my use of what I buy.
