What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!"
  • I barely got much usage out of my switch but the Steam Deck has been well worth it. I like the customizability, ability to emulate, bulkier build that feels more like holding an actual controller, and larger game library. I love playing rogue-likes on it like Hades, Slay the Spire, and Balatro. Really good combination for quick pick up and play sessions.

  • Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again
  • Already switched to Deezer and liking it way more

  • 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade later
  • It could also be that they no longer used their channel but were hacked. I've seen a handful of larger youtubers have their channels get hacked, rebranded to something completely different, then explain what happened when they get it back. With smaller inactive channels, its unlikely that they'll be changed back.

  • Launching A $60+ Game Seems Like A Bad Idea Right Now
  • Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 were worth full price. I assume GTA 6 will be as well. Make the game good and people will buy it, simple.

  • Religious Nationalism is brainrot.
  • I was thinking this

  • Busy all day and night

  • Finding motivation when ahead
  • Yep, I've been on medication for a year. The one I'm currently on has been a couple months. I'll consider asking for an increased dose, since I'll be getting a refill this week anyways. Thank you for the perspective.

  • Finding motivation when ahead

    Recently, I've noticed a pattern where I work extremely hard when I'm catching up on things or behind in some way. However, the moment I create a comfortable lead in life, I proceed to waste the next few days until its gone. All drive is gone, even if I have ideas of things I can do to move forward. Is there any advice anyone can give on maintaining that lead and finding motivation to keep moving when you get ahead on your goals and responsibilities.

    Dynamic pricing is coming to grocery stores
  • So what would stop someone from scalping milk restocks and reselling at a marked up rate when the demand is high?

  • Tell me what it means
  • Game consoles didn't come with a storage card, so you had to keep the game running or restart every time.

  • Just doing my part 🤡
  • Some materials have higher carbon emissions than others, in terms of refinement, processing, and transportation. The third point is location dependant, but creating and shaping different materials will have different contributions to global warming.

    Edit: There are also concerns with the product's end of lifespan. How long it takes to biodegrades, how easily recyclable it is, and how much the available disposal methods will effect the environment. Plastic is not great on several of these accounts. Recycling plastic water bottles isn't very efficient either, compared to glass bottles for instance.

  • Who could have forseen the woes of capitalism?
  • Textbooks are pretty nice to learn things on your own or as a supplement to classes. If you can find free ones online or at a library, definitely worth it. Full price, not so much.

    Edit: I know this post is about economics textbooks though, so I can't speak on those. However, I do think textbooks in general are a great resource that tends to get underappreciated.

  • Majority of Canadians now have more debt than savings, StatCan says. Here’s why the wealth gap is widening
  • Just for personal reference, do you know when the statistics for this graphic were collected?

  • National dental care plan registration expands today to cover seniors 72 and older
