I married at 18 and became a father just a year later. Been married 25 years, I and still cherish every wake-up next to my gal.

I’m not saying if you should or shouldn’t, at all. What I’m saying is sometimes, you know. Not that it will work, but that you’re ready to work for it. That’s it. You want to put the work in? If so, it might be the best time ever available to you. But it isn’t easy.

Some of us just enjoy spending the day with family and eating good food. Not for everybody, I accept, but I don’t understand the ire.

That’s good. I hope your family has a wonderful time together.

They’re still alive and kicking.

Well, yeah me too. But my life being easier (food and money easier to come by) and comforts rarely in question - for me at least - does not equate to easier to make friends.

Is it? It gets harder as time passes for each person. Friends become fewer, more busy, and farther apart. It may be that it is objectively harder now. What do I know as an old man? But it feels hard for everybody as they age individually. I have no close homies that I talk to regularly. 30 years ago, I had many.

Near beer works great as a shandy, too. The lemon flavor may even lend more to the desired bitterness.

Parenting

Suggesting something open to doubt isn’t debatable is just not knowing what the word means. There are dictionaries available to the public.

Suggesting the device is underpowered in all contexts is just silly. If I want a device to play Stardew Valley, Braid or some other game with very different people requirements than Cyberpunk, it may not be underpowered… to me.

I get that you’re one of those people that just can never ever accept they are maybe making an objective statement about a subjective value, but you should introspect a bit. You said it wasn’t debatable. We have debated. I doubt your position. End of story.

If you want to compare this to flat earth, fine. Rest assured, nobody will likely find and follow this thread.

FWIW, I think I probably agree with some of your sentiment. It would be better if more powerful. It is underpowered for many of the modern generation of games, etc. Not for you. No problem. Maybe others will like it. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You don’t seem to understand that “underpowered” requires context. Nor do you that what we’re having here is a debate, thus making it debatable nevertheless.

Yes I agree, if we can move the goalposts where ever we want, you might have a point for your own narrow view. But there will be people that believe what it delivers to be suitable for playing the games they want to play, in which case it won’t be underpowered. Which means its status as underpowered… is debatable.

No, I meant precisely what I wrote. The point being that if it were $4, “underpowered” would be an absurd way to describe it, because value is a function of cost versus benefit, where benefit is subjective.

I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?

None the richer

Silver or any other somewhat stable precious metal is probably okay too.

And how would you feel if it were $4?

Yeah, well you know uhh, that’s just like my opinion, man. And without pricing it is hard to say if under or over powered. But I think it is thoughtfully designed. Looks like it is well-cooled, expandable storage, programmable light strip, and you can install whatever you want in it.

I thought the GabeCube was even better.

Valve crushed it out of the park. Great hardware and really well presented; beautiful and succinct.

I think Servo joining LF is one of the more exciting things of the last few years in software. I really hope they keep making progress.
