I generally overshoot when it comes to the hardware specs, if I can. That way you’re prepared in advance if you end up having the option to upgrade your Internet connection.

Otherwise, you may find yourself locked in to the slower plan due to the cost of upgrading your hardware.

But, sometimes you have to choose realistic over optimal, of course. So in other words, I do not think I know what’s best for you! Just offering a perspective that has worked for me, in case it helps you in some way as you evaluate the choice that’s best for you.

Let’s not forget lobbyingbribery. And since said political influence is ostensibly being bought for the sake of charity, nobody would even blink.

Just my theory, mind you. But every one of these charitable foundations is primarily done for tax avoidance. No question. Well that is every one of these foundations except for the one set up by Mr President Tiny Dick. He just can’t resist the temptation of embezzlement. I mean seriously, he bankrupted THREE casinos, and had a judge not just dissolve his foundation, but also bar him from running one of these so-called charitable foundations ever again.

I don’t even want to know how you can fuck up that egregiously. One of those things where you have to wonder if successfully finding understanding of how it happened is going to hopelessly corrupt your own soul for all of eternity.

Oh, sure, makes total sense. Sure, sure…

Except for the fact that nature has successfully balanced itself out for, well, as long as life has existed on this planet. Including recovery and finding a new balance after extremely drastic shifts in the environment.

Humans managed to remain a part of this for most our existence, too. So the current trends have absolutely nothing to do with our ability to manipulate our environment.

We’ve allowed an “elite” class of parasitic sociopaths to dictate the direction of modern society, and their influence has spread a corruption to every corner of the modern world. This insatiable greed will be our downfall, and there’s nothing natural about it.

Thank you for the additional clarification. And naturally, potentially mitigating solutions such as bike lanes are so often demonized in our society, not because it actually causes disruptions to traffic, though; I figure it really is all about drivers getting jealous because they see people on bicycles not getting stuck in traffic (in my not so humble opinion). Not to mention how many violations of basic road safety and laws get handwaved because “they need their car”.

But I do agree that endangering pedestrians is no solution. I guess it infuriates me that real solutions are ignored/refused for such ridiculous reasons.

Well, I can easily identify two. The standards applied to cyclists versus motorists, as well as the fact that commercial vehicles vs civilian makes no difference. At least from your description.

Separate from that is the general problem that couriers are essentially coerced into behaving so irresponsibly by corporate greed, but that’s a whole other can of worms of course.

That’s the to to lamest excuse I’ve heard for such an egregious double standard.

You sarcastic bastard, that was a beautifully crafted reply. Also, TIL

What do you mean developer? As soon as I got a dock so I could actually use my steam deck like a desktop, I started experimenting with everything!

Obviously, I would never escape that trap…

It’s also a movie poster, so could’ve been photoshopped.

Exactly. There’s no license involved here. This is pants on fire levels of stupid.

I’m waiting for the moth/beans crossover, myself
