What continent is India in? What continent is Australia in?
I linked both prebuilt and do it yourself builds. Neither resulted in a comparable machine to the PS5 for $600. Again, I think you are missing how much the price of components has increased. 16GB of DDR5 alone costs…
> $600 could get you a beast of a machine Where can you get a new gaming "beast of a machine" for $600? In the past you could build a reasonable gaming machine for $600 but parts are drastically more expensive today. If…
When buying a gaming console, I imagine folks think more about the upfront cost ($600 for PS5 vs $1,050 for steam machine) as opposed to the total cost of ownership. The steam machine may be cheaper in the long run once…
Because if they don't offer a used virtual marketplace, everyone has to buy new games directly from them. A used game market provides downwards pressure on new games.
The US spent $2 Trillion dollars on Medicare and Medicaid in 2024 [1][2]. If the US spent this money as efficiently as Japan (or UK [3], ...) it could pay for Healthcare for every single resident with this $2 Trillion…
If indeed the public is looking for dividends, why is Amazon, a company that has never paid a dividend, such a valuable company? Amazon has ~10 Billion outstanding shares and the current market price for one of those…
Fastfood apps typically offer deals to new customers. I suspect this is an attempt to prevent folks from spinning up many new accounts to get these deals.
McDonald's app (other other similar apps) offer discounts to ordering through their app. For example, McDonald's has a long running campaign, 99¢ for coffee. Any size, iced or hot.
I assume that is the typical Uber/Lyft prices. It would likely be a lot cheaper if another family member does drop off/pickup.

What I got from the linked review is: 1) Creatine is safe, "creatine supplementation is safe across a range of doses, durations, and populations according to human trials". 2) Stomach issues are a commonly reported side…
Stomach issues are a frequently reported side effect of Creatine Monohydrate [1]. The general school of thought behind the belief 'Creatine HCL is easier on the stomach" is: 1) HCL is much more water soluble and…

I don't believe this is accurate. From the wiki: > The caps at both poles consist primarily of water ice. Frozen carbon dioxide accumulates as a comparatively thin layer about one meter thick on the north cap in the…
Maybe a dumb question, why do electric cars have issues with water? My understanding was that ICE cars have trouble because water get's drawn into the engine. Water in the engine causes it to stall. And the engine must…

I think it was a joke that 98.59% has 2 '9's: 9X.X9%.
Can't you use Claude Code without a Claude model? E.g. can't you use this with a local model? Folks are assuming that only the $100 plan will include Claude Code access. I think a more likely scenario is that everyone…
There wasn't always an external resource to go to for help. Especially for legacy pieces of software, it was easy to become the person with most context on the team.
There was not a single moment in time in which all nuclear power plants were simultaneously shut down. The shut down was gradual [1]. 2011 is relevant because it is when the German government decided to phase out its…
