This has been tried and tried again, and it never catches on. Computer interfaces that are completely detached from physical 3D space are just much more flexible and easy to use.

They also seem to think that continually spending money to do mundane things in a virtual world is not a problem for regular people who actually have to watch their spending.

If computer interaction benefited from being more 'like reality', then Microsoft Bob or any of the countless other attempts to create a reality- and/or 3D-based computer interface, would have caught on long ago.

Sums it up nicely 👍

Nornally first the capacitor and then the motor. The capacitor is there to absorb the power surge when the motor starts up.

They should be held accountable in a court of law.

And why do you think the US keeps playing this role in Europe? What possible motive could they have?

So it'll end up being a platform of trolls and bigots just screaming into the void and paying for the privilege. What a fabulous idea.

Paper Girls is pretty good too.

Definitely the former. The difference is not worth the price hike for me. I guess it's like with really high performance cars. I appreciate that a Ferrari f40 is in a league of its own and truly extraordinary, I just can't be bothered to spend that much money on it.

I guess it's the same with many things. The difference between low quality and high quality is really noticeable and usually comes with a substantial cost. But the difference in cost between high (even exceptional) quality and top-tier truly one-of-a-kind is usually very high, and not worth it for me.

I can't even remember, (very) expensive food is wasted on me. I enjoy a quality meal, but the top tier stuff just doesn't make any exceptional or special impression with me. It's just good food.

Left because I was doing three jobs as one person. They couldn't hire a replacement with that job description (surprised Pikachu face). My new job wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, so I got hired back in a properly defined job and that's been working out fine.
