This sort of stuff is crucial and needs to be built in.

Most instances are one user’s whim away from going away. This isn’t a problem as long as clients back things up and migration is easy. But, that doesn’t happen right now.

Guarantee we’ll see some big news at points in the future when a big instance goes down because the owner died or just lost interest.

Again, these are easily overcome, but they are issues right now.

Agree about the comparison with music. I wonder why we didn’t see balkanization there like we do for video.

Cable cost well over $100 a month many years ago when I cancelled it. And 1/3 of the content is commercials.

Pretty sure you could subscribe to every major streaming service for less than that. And as long as you avoid Hulu, you won’t see commercials.

Things are WAY better now, even though it was better a little while ago when there was just Netflix.

Can you repair Curtas? I think there’s a niche market demand for that. I’d certainly want it if mine ever broke.

The Connect app allows you to hide posts based on keywords. Maybe add “reddit” to that?

Walkabout Golf in VR. Simple enough for family members, but challenging even for gamers.

Is there a stallmanwasright community here yet? This would fit in there.

Whoa there! This is a thread for naming bad games. Satisfactory is an amazing crafting game. I didn’t get bored until level 8 when the amount of material required to finish just got insane. But it is the end of the game, so I understand why it’s like that.

I’m trying to figure out how massive gravity could be proven. I found an article about a theoretical photon gravity wave detector that could possibly prove it.

Not sure how soon such a detector might exist.

Meh. I was there 15 years. I’m not missing anything by being here instead. Heck, I feel like here is the more exciting place to be!

BTW, of they ask why I’m in such a hurry, I’ll say I have a Brewster’s Millions situation and hope they’d seen the movie. We could relax after the deal was done.

Too many answers trying to game the system. Have fun with it!

If this was earlier in the day, I would drive to a pinball arcade that is maybe 40 minutes away, and offer them the entire million for every pinball machine they had. Hopefully the owner could be contacted and close the deal within the remaining 20 minutes.

I wish there would be time to buy a boat. I know nothing about sailing or maintaining a boat, but I would love to just drive to a marina and just get a 50 foot sailing boat.

Do different paints dry brush differently? I guess that’s kind of the same question. I’ll just have to experiment.

Biggest problem for me is finding other people enjoying my new hobby, at the same stage of learning, during the time period that I am into it.

I’ve been learning acrylic painting the last few weeks. I’d love to find a forum to discuss this while I’m still into it.

Seems extremely powerful to me. You can do anything that doesn’t get you killed immediately. It makes normal life impossible though. Actually, seems like a lot of interesting premises could come from that.
