    The part I thought that was wild was them (DeSantis Administrative Office) calling it a "fad" "We disagree with the court's erroneous rulings on the law, on the facts, and on the science. As we've seen here in Florida, the United Kingdom, and across Europe, there is no quality evidence to support the chemical and physical mutilation of children. These procedures do permanent, life-altering damage to children, and history will look back on this fad in horror," spokeswoman Julia Friedland said in an email.

    The only thing I liked about it was the full screen visualization. FSD isn't confident enough and tried to curb my wheels several times during the times I used it for the trial month. Have no idea why anyone would buy it besides just making videos about it and its beta iterations. I'd buy it if it was $500, but mainly just liked the visualization aspect which I think they should just provide in an update for free

    If you really want to go on a date, be upfront in whatever app or service you are using. If you have free time, just enjoy yourself because it sounds like you will be busy wherever you are going. Don't expect to have a long term style relationship in this short time, long distance is difficult and I'd advise against it. But do whatever you think is best, everyone is different including their SO. Best of luck

    I think the reason for consoles was, you pay X dollars (normally the same price as a decent video card), and you are guaranteed that any games that come out with it works. All you have to do is plug it up to a TV with HDMI and boom, working video game box with smart capabilities. It is/was a good idea, but I'm guessing MS is looking back at their Xbox One always online days and say you can hook up this $100 cloud base console and stream your games (that you pay a subscription for) with little to no degradation. Honestly they could go so far as offering it alongside select or premium TV brands, they are already doing that with LGs. The next battle will be game ownership, Ubisoft has already started that battle. Looking bleak, may be pulling out the old pirate hat

Move on over Sega, Atari, and whoever else, another one coming aboard

    I'm guessing maybe the smoke might be clogging it, but depending maybe look at redoing the thermal paste. I didn't do that for mine when I cleaned, but maybe (normally thermal paste is good for a long while).

    If you go with the cleaning, definitely get some Dust off. Hope you get it working, maybe put it on its side and further away from the wood stove if possible and on a solid surface

Just like people hating on huge houses or seeing expansive cars just because they don't have it. Underline jealousy. If you really hate it that much because you can't play/have it, work towards obtaining it and appreciating it.
