You can’t do 7:00 and 7:10 or 7:05 and 7:15 because the 10 minute snooze will override the second one. Doing 7:00, 7:02, 7:04, 7:06, 7:08 will so the trick - and then repeat.

There wouldn’t be an incentive or the capital necessary to instigate the build out of solar without the sphere. Yes, it would be great if someone did that. But the owners of the sphere specifically have a financial incentive to do so for the sake of lower energy costs. There’s not a lack of land or sun, so whether they do or do not doesn’t amount to a “waste” of energy - anyone else can build out solar production too.

When I booted up Final Fantasy VII for the first time on my PS1, I was so confused as to why I could not start a new game. I was young, but I’m pretty sure I just shrugged and put the game away for months.

I don’t want the devs to kill themselves for a game, obviously. I don’t think anyone does. People just want content updates for a property they love. In an industry that lays off people after they ship a game or starts work immediately on the franchise yearly $70 sequel, I just want a game developer that does better than that. That’s why the whole world waited patiently for the follow up to the GOTY of 2022 with Shadow of the Erdtree. Elden Ring didn’t get a ton of free content updates in that time, they didn’t make it a live service or offer mtx, and they didn’t pump out their massive expansion in an unreasonable time frame. They built an incredible game and incredible world, and then they continued development on the game they had poured their hearts into for years and spent the time they needed to create the expansion the game deserved, and at a reasonable price.

It’s a constant arms race in my brain between finding methods to remind myself and my ability to ignore any and all reminders.

Wow, stop attacking me.

Just Google meatspin - it’ll be easier that way than explaining it here I think. One of those things you just have to see to understand.

Yeah, I had that one too actually - the Moto Z. I rather liked the feel of it with nothing on the back at all, but there were swappable magnetic plates you could put on it if you didn’t like the feel. I never bought into the Moto mod ecosystem but was definitely into the idea of the battery pack and IIRC, there was a full camera body with a zoom lense you could buy too.

Oh that’s right - it was right on the cusp of 4g. Thanks for that.

Wow, that’s a pretty hamfisted approach, but they did the best with what they had I guess.

Ah yeah - I found myself staring at the 2nd half of December a bit puzzled, but you’re absolutely on to it.
