An example of my experiences: you’ll get the apple with the bruise and maybe some damage instead of the nice one you’d pick out if you’re shopping for yourself.


A counter-example - with a weekly shopping list way too long (family of 4), its hard for the husband to pick up all items as fresh as possible and do all necessary checks on each of them. Or in other words - even people themselves do make same mistake, I certainly do.


People will forgive themselves for saving money, but will not forgive others at the delivery service for charging extra.

There is no delivery service that's cheaper and good enough, or dirt cheap and expected to be awful, but those are large profitable retail operations. The only sector offered is more expensive, which annoys people if they occasionally get a below average item while also paying a lot more.

Delivery is for people who buy tenderloin not ground chuck and they get MAD when their tenderloin isn't perfect.


That's my experience, too. Also the dented tin and the miniature mango. And, if the order is arriving at 10pm, the salad best before midnight.

I’m in a similar place, tried bazzite recently and was pleasantly surprised that it plays all my games well


It’s better than ever with stuff like jellyfin/plex and all the sonarr/radarr… apps. I’ve been running bitmagnet too which has been great for actually finding torrents.


I think it’s pretty dependent on where you farmed. Orchards in California being vastly more profitable than like North Dakota.

Also hard to ignore the survivorship bias there. The small/bad/ugly/whatever houses are gone.

It's not ignored. It is already encoded into the original comment. No need to repeat what is already said.


Having grown up in the "no cellphones allowed at school" age, and now having a kid, I'm super glad that my local school district is finally banning phones.

There's always going to be exceptions but speaking for myself there's no way I'd be able to resist the allure of a cellphone in class.


Some of the official city supported emergency preparedness groups use it in my city. I would say it is largely a curiosity for me, like ham radio.

Been more fun to take it camping and stuff to play around with with friends.

Want to try and send one up in an RC plane soon.


It’s pretty dense in Portland and Seattle too, I’d image most of the bigger cities have a fairly large net


Some places would put the livestock on the ground floor/basement so their heat would warm up the house. I can only imagine what that would smell like.

1080i though


It could output analogue 720p and 1080i for sure, but the CPU had a hard time keeping up with HD video decoding. It was only a 733mhz Pentium 3 after all.

Although to go on a tangent, it turned out that you could swap the soldered BGA processor for a socketed 1.4ghz Pentium meant for a desktop PC, using an incredibly cursed interposer setup to redirect the CPU pins to the right BGA pads, and it somehow actually worked.


Wow, you're not kidding saying that it's cursed. I thought it would adapt a socket to the BGA pads, but it looks like the pins of the replacement CPU just sit naked on the interposer.

I think Pentium 3 sockets were through-hole, so to use one they would have had to fit two different footprints on the bottom side of the interposer without any overlap. It might not have been physically possible.


this is my goto for xbox gen1 HDMI - Electronxout[0]. Here's a full list of video options[1]

What problems are these widgets supposed to solve?

With such a widget: The video is still at most 720p or 1080i (because scaling, like cake, is a lie), it still originates as an analog signal (that's all the OG Xbox can provide), and the machine is still broadly incapable of playing high-definition video (it's too slow).
