I don't believe for a second that enough people are ignorant of weather-proof charger setups to make this an issue. Maybe if most people weren't struggling to survive on terribly-low incomes, or renting from cheapskate land-lords, but in this reality? Not buying it.

I do, but uh ... it's in my username. If I weren't running multiple hobbies and a business out my barely-one-car garage, maybe my car could have a house. The one time I parked in my current garage, without stuff on either side, there still wasn't room to open the doors all the way.

Anyways, weather-proof chargers exist. Blows my mind that enough people supposedly don't know this to have any real impact. Well, it would, if I believed it.

Here's hoping the controls are more F-zero, Starfox or Tony Hawk than say ... flappy bird. Thankfully its not on mobile, so I'm optimistic.

"Our society is dead" because enough of them would rather earn the degree and/or teach to make up the difference, particularly vs the vast majority of OF models who aren't making anything close to a livable, or even minimum, wage for their efforts.

Honestly though, I doubt there are more OF models making a decent amount of money than there are teachers, just yet.

I mean, yes, but I was more referencing that there was exactly one other thing of any substance besides the TV thing in this greentext.

The long knife prohibition is real.

Its not "the Cloud" if its your own systems from top-to-bottom ... More like Remote Play? ... Seems Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all use that terminology for Streaming Gameplay from their consoles to another device.

Streaming to another location than where your Server is setup is tricky, mostly due to latency and establishing a connection that doesn't get throttled(or compromised) by the ISPs involved. Personally, when I tried to get into it, about 10 years ago, I didn't have the budget for a GPU that could be persuaded to support it at all.

Today, I'm more likely to keep such a server in my vehicle(on Battery/Solar), so its always just a local connection away, if I were to bother with the budget and hassle involved*. Around the house, I'll just slap a new desktop together where I want to play games, or game on my laptop, and call it done.

*Ideally, I could build this for less than my good laptop would cost to replace, and use something much closer to outright disposable to game outside of my car. In practice, I just bring my good laptop with me everywhere, risk be damned.

I haven't seen an open power outlet at a Starbucks in over 10 years. They aren't taken, they are either locked or have been entirely removed.

Article written in Brittain goes so far as to villainize public transportation(although, if its good enough for public school kids, it should of course be good enough for private school kids...). Bold strategy, Cotton.

Meanwhile, if you or I tried to have our kids ride public transportation in place of a school-bus in the wrong location/situation, CPS would get involved. The 2016 federal IMPACT law didn't go far enough.
