You can throw in some this sliced red onions with the habaneros for some nice topping on a sandwich or maybe some tacos.

Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.)

With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time.

Edit: plus the usual smoke screen if using some events like COVID to jack prices up, increase executive pay and acquire smaller companies to artificially set the price in some instances.

For Google IoT devices specifically, I own a Google nest thermostat, doorbell camera plus some other Google products over the years. I can honestly say they might have a better chance by themselves than as part of Google. I actively avoid them now.

They’ve become very laggy, cloud dependent (I suppose that one is on me) and in some cases unsupported as they age. Seeing the direction of things with their app store being actively hostile toward individual developers solidifies that they are a declining company from the perspective of enthusiasts.

The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

Watched this earlier on the week and made me realize a lot of small and medium imported home automation products we use will become similarly affected. Only the big fish will survive and we might end up with Google and Amazon cloud reliant devices that need to be replaced every few years… but we will generate profits for investors for a while I guess?

Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?

In Mexico there is a phrase “comete un taco” (eat a taco) since a homemade taco is a tortilla with anything on it. We buy 1/2 - 1 kilo of (corn) tortillas for a family of four every day or every other day (depending on the food consumed) and it pairs really well with anything. E.g.:

• Eggs, salsa and tortillas
• Beans, cactus, salsa and tortillas
• Beef stew with rolled up tortillas
• Crunchy tortillas (slow comal/gridle heated to make them similar to a tostada, but without frying) with some sour cream, beans, lettuce and salsa
• Cheese quesadilla, generally salsa too (or even hot sauce) - optionally beans and/or some meat
• A taco similar to the one in the picture (maybe minus the cheese, but you could add it of course). These are a little harder to make since they call for specific meats or preparation, so they tend to be more commonly consumed from a vendor specializing in them.
• etc.

Since there is a tortilla in most homemade variations (the taco), everyday can be taco day. The salsa would mostly be served whatever you already have in the fridge, red, green, mild, spicy, etc. Sometimes flour tortillas are used, but corn is more common (and supposedly healthier according to the moms).

GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically), food and education.

Enterprise eh… So the clown car part is accurate!

They probably deliver many orders on one trip and it would require a truck with a refrigerated box to be up to food safety standards.

Not to mention that some providers offer APIs to provide certificates without opening port(s) 80/443. This allows using nice host names on your personal domain with valid SSL over the internal network too. Want to migrate a server or service? Just change the IP associated with the domain on the internal DNS. Makes migrating and upgrading a lot easier.

Can’t do much with a cable if the source (internet or BD) doesn’t have the source material at the adequate quality to support it.

I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

At least now you can rely back with “can you also provide feedback for #1 & #3?”

Repeat until all items are cleared. Not perfect, but at least you don’t have to waste time rewording a follow-up email.

As someone that has bought a graphics card as part of a build in these scenarios:

• after having a first job
• after graduating from college
• about 9 years later as a professional

The first 2 felt like a nice upgrade given my larger budget (200-300 more total for the entire computer). The last one felt like the worst purchase of my life. If gamers nexus is sometimes negative, it is for a good reason, we all feel it.

I have a feeling they also had to buy their own components and have not forgotten that despite nvidia or amd fighting for stats, and streamers always having a top of the line build most gamers don’t (as shown by steam survey results over and over).

We have. Stupidity and malice. Doesn’t help us of course but that’s kind of it.

Mario kart sure does though. If it truly is whatever pricing they claim, it is THE GAME that could offset the development costs over the period of time it will be sold for going by past Nintendo consoles. There is one Mario kart per generation with maybe some (paid) downloadable content later.
