I can… But too much panning. Still hard on my eyes due to the proximity. My eyes are only bad up to about 3 feet from my face, and then they get better that most.

I hate consuming anything on a phone, prefer a monitor I can sit back from, or a TV.

I got to Waldo and said “not with these eyes on a phone.”

So mental warfare in this thing too. It required me to deselect tomatoes.

Zimaboard.

unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.

🤣🤣🤣

Ok, good tip. I’ll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

I like 4k for documentaries and cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you’re standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

Nextcloud Cooking app

This. Its a bit slow but the auto import is a life save and the app is really nice with the ability to easily scale the portions or keep the screen awake.

And back then if we did have a mouse, it was square, and used a 9pin serial port

We got our microwave out of the kitchen.

Hi from Canada, we’re likely Poland in Nazi Boogaloo 2.

It also normalizes the gene pool, which can become a threat to our survival

A large portion scientists, doctors, engineers, staticians and mathematicians are on the spectrum.

Eradicate autism and you eradicate many of our more intelligent members of society.

Autism is a side of the coin in human genetics, not a disease. It is a gift of our diversity that not all of us think the same way or conform. It gives us an evolutionary advantage even if it makes you seem at a disadvantage due to the rigid, cookie cutter expectations of the modern world. Autism has always been part of us, it just didn’t become a “problem” until billionaires needed wage slaves that were efficient little drones who fell in line.

That is how I do it yes. As much as feasibly possible. I do really miss the local PC shops and electronics stores… sadly my options for that stuff now are Staples, Best Buy and Amazon…

Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.

Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.

As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.

We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers… or little guys that resell access to the big 3.

The monopoly man won the game in Canada.

Getting money to organizations outside Canada and the US, once you remove credit cards and paypal, is exclusive to wire transfer from within Canada. If i want to get my money to any entity outside of Canada those are my options. None of these alt payment providers exist in Canada, and we are barred from buying crypto from our accounts.

JCB seems like the Interac system here in Canada, which I doubt Steam would take payment from. Its essentially a bank transfer. Nope, apparently JCB is a Credit Card company like Visa et al.

Yeah, JCB is not available in the Americas

What country are you in? None of those options exist in Canada so I think you’re going to need to reframe your point.

Also I can state that giftcards do not exist where I live as I just went though 4 kids birthdays and check 20 different stores and winded up having to give up on Steam cards and buy prepaid Visas.

EDIT: To clarify, two years ago the cards existed. Last year they were scarce, and in 2025 they are no where to be found.

What are those other options you have anyway? I’ve never seen or heard of any of them.

How else are you supposed to buy something on Steam? You just listed every available option.
