Oh my gosh, when I was a child I remember going into a shop at the beach which sold all kinds of holographic images. And I remember a couple of them had pictures of things like a telescope or binoculars, and you could actually look into them! I’ve been searching for a while for any kind of information about these things, and I was almost ready to believe that I had just imagined it. But there is the same thing just 1 minute into this video!

It sounds like it works really well. The physical size does sound quite large, but I’m not sure how that compares against other types of batteries.

From googling it for a few minutes, it seems to be legit, but as it’s just a kind of marketplace to connect people, there seem to be complaints of a lot of bullshit like fake jobs being posted and stuff.

If she is serious about editing, it might be a possible first step to find some crappy jobs to help fill out a portfolio.

Not the op, but we do use them in my house too. We use every one that we get. We can line them with paper (we collect our junk mail paper for this purpose) to prevent leaks if there happen to be any tiny holes.

Use a bag daily during dinner prep to collect all the food trash and packaging and stuff that needs to be moved to the main trash can. Also use them as small trash bags in the bathroom and bedrooms.

I have tried several of the cheaper ones, and what I noticed is that they would start growing mold inside the brush head. I don’t really feel like putting mold in my mouth, nor do I feel like taking the brush apart and cleaning it every couple of days, so I just went back to a manual brush.

I don’t really like random battles for the most part, but they are not normally the thing that makes or breaks a game for me, either.

Some of the first jrpgs that I remember handling battles better then the typical final fantasy was Chrono Trigger and Pokemon. In Chrono Trigger, you can typically see the enemies before you have to fight them, though they would often surprise you with enemies that you couldn’t see jumping out. I think that worked much better than just the normal system where if you walk around long enough you get a battle. Then Pokemon has 2 different things that it did. First, for trainer battles, you can see the trainers on screen so you can make sure you are prepared before you go into a fight. Then for the normal battles around the world, it does use random encounters, but they take place ONLY within certain spots, like in tall grass or in a cave. So you still have a lot of freedom to roam around in areas without triggering battles, and when you do go through those spots, you know that a battle could pop up, so you can be ready for it. There are also items you can use to avoid encounters.

For dealing with the annoyance of low level enemies, I think Earthbound had a pretty good system. In Earthbound, it shows you enemies on screen rather than doing random encounters, and once you get to a significantly higher level than the enemies, they will run away from you instead of coming at you, so you are free to just ignore them.

It should probably last you several years with no issues. Look at the warranty on the model you are interested in, and assume that it should last you at least that long.

If it does fail, well at least it’s just your render cache.

Home Alone. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I don’t really rewatch movies anymore. There is so much content out there that I haven’t watched, I would rather see something new than just rewatch something that I’ve already seen.
