Online service for a year is $90. It would take you 5 years just to break even for a bottom of the barrel built pc. If you have a decent pc it would be 10 years.
You also can’t factor pirating into your calculation. By that logic I could steal the console and my cost would be zero.
That’s a good question. There’s a lot of factors at play and I’d love to see the math on it.
So I have both. A built pc and consoles and nothing irks me more than pcmasterrace folks straight up lying and misrepresenting the facts about building a pc.
First of all it hasn’t been economically viable to build a pc since Covid. Graphics card prices and now ram. In a few years it’ll be something else.
Second you got 1 person that finds a steal of a deal from someone on eBay and they preach to the universe that parts are out there and readily available for cheap. Not to mention all the risks associated from buying used parts.
Third a lot more multiplayer games are made with console in mind and are poorly optimized for pc and run like shit and look like shit. That doesn’t happen much on console because the graphics are already capped to a certain maximum most of the time.
Lastly pc players are much fewer than console players and on certain games you’ll be hard pressed to have queue times under 5 minutes. Even brand new games! I bought black ops 3 and 2k18 at release for pc and queue times were ABYSMAL.
If you are a tech savvy person it makes sense to make that investment because you have a lot more options on pc for modding and you’ll save on the multiplayer side because you won’t be paying for a live service but for the average person building a pc makes no sense.
It’s not lower. Most electric bills are lower in the winter. You’d pay more in the winter months.
Brother the only way it’s cheaper to source your own panels is if you buy them outright. Less than 50% of Americans have a savings account let alone 10k in disposable income.
If you take out a loan for the panels the payments equal what your electric bill would be and by the time you pay off the panels it’s time to replace them.
This is an absolute fact: the government refuses to invest in green energy because it produces too much energy and they’d have to give out power for free.
It’s pretty much the same but on Reddit it’s ok to be combative and rude with people as long as public opinion approves. Also most of the posts are bots so you aren’t actually being rude to a person there most times.
Please don’t do that here. There are way less bots here so please remember you are speaking to actual humans.
Also political discourse is mostly ok here. Same rules apply with rudeness though. On Reddit you will get quarantined or shadow banned quickly with anything politically charged.
In lawsuits, details matter. Ya if a person jumps down the stairs it’s their fault. If a business failed to clean up a spill because they layed off workers to reduce costs and a customer falls down the stairs, yes it is the business’ fault.
There was a strong propaganda push in the 90s to make you think that. Mainly stemming from that McDonald’s lawsuit with the coffee. It was a PR campaign let by corporations and tort reform advocates to downplay the seriousness of corporate negligence and place the blame on consumers to try to stop people from suing.
Clearly it was successful. Billion dollar corporations have an obligation to create things with public safety in mind. If nothing else, to make sure they have the max possible customers. If a product injures or kills a customer the business should do everything in its power to correct and amend that. To blame the customer for corporate negligence is absurd.
IIRC it’s a picture of a person before and after WW1, possibly WW2.
You’re not wrong about OP but also the rewatchability isn’t great. The power creep for one piece is ridiculous and the early episodes are kind of boring when compared to later episodes that aren’t filler.
I’m surprised the boobs aren’t worn out from people grabbing them.
Im pretty sure I have undiagnosed adhd
About 3 years I bought a mechanic set of ratchets and wrenches and some other tools for changing my own oil and some other auto repairs. All in I spent about $500. In July, I changed my own brakes and rotors and 2 vehicles I own. On that job alone I saved over $1000 dollars. Not to mention all the times I changed my oil. I also changed my spark plugs on one of my cars and found a gasket leak that I also fixed which was probably another $500.
Best investment of my life.
They don’t carry the hot fries chips 😭
I have family in Chicago and I asked them for pizza recommendations when I was on vacation there and they said Costco😡
Good people don’t turn into bad people. By default that rules them out of being good people.
“Little to no bargaining power” doesn’t mean anything. You hold your boss accountable to treating you fairly. I met a kid that last year worked in a cash only Vietnamese sandwich shop. Only white kid there. He essentially unionized the place and stopped the owner from stealing their tips.
If a 20 year old can stand up to person like that when he can barely speak the language, I don’t want to hear about how a group of Americans who don’t have to fear of getting deported or send any money back home to feed their family struggle in the work environment.
It really sounds like a crazy story but he did it and probably changed some of those workers lives. And don’t even get me started on delivery fees that for whatever reason the workforce agreed shouldn’t be paid to them.
Congratulations you fall into category 2
For $200 more you get a weaker gpu that will need to be upgraded which will add $300 to the cost. This post is from 8 months ago.
