seriously. it sucks that plex had to increase their price to $250 but they resisted that increase for like 10 years. nobody is forcing anyone to rent plex lol. its still worth it during sales.

Yeah, im talking about the 207 BILLION US dollars they need to raise. That's an absolutely insane amount of currency if it had to be backed by real things and not "Hey buddy, its the U.S.! nothing could go catastrophically wrong and make this all valueless overnight"

Oh yeah for sure.

At least some part of this is related to aging. Our sense of taste seems to diminish as we age, but also we get exposed to more and more complex flavor profiles as we go through life. Canned soups dont even taste salty to me anymore, they just taste bland.

But it’s what the article is comparing to when they say “market prices”. This particular store is based out of California.

At restaurants here you would ask the host/waiter the market price before deciding to order.

So with things like fish that can change day to day are they required to just update it every day? that sounds nice.

so i switched myself and my parents to arch linux over the past 3-4 months and I can say definitively that those specs are fine for CachyOS (an Arch Linux distro). My mom is using my hand-me-down 970 with its lovely "we charged you for 4gb of vram but actually only 3.5 of it is fast haha sucker" and it runs great paired to an old i7 6700k.

I think what we're seeing is the result of their stock depleting actually. AI has been buying up supply for a while, and I don't think the consumer markets are able to compete.

look at it from the pessimist's point of view, they could have killed side loading too!

That nvme drive just hanging out next to the power cord is giving me a type of anxiety I never knew I had, thanks.
