Valve has a new Steam Chart for the most played Steam Deck games
  • My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.

    That said... it's definitely not ideal, and it's generally relegated to similar games like you're talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc

  • Average house price by state
  • Don't forget to throw inflation in there too, which is equivalent to $130k now. Everything over that shows how much houses have outpaced inflation.

    And now that you know that you can respect how nearly impossible it is for people who are just starting out to get a new home.

    You (and me too) were able to take advantage of the 2008 housing market crash. We need another one to give people a chance.

  • Every damn day
  • That isn't "normal" though. Part of the reason that companies like unlimited PTO is that typically workers take less PTO when unlimited is offered.

    I had 8 weeks paid per year in my last job, so rolling in to this one with unlimited I pretty much do the same. But for sure I'm a bit of an anomaly. I rarely see others taking time.

  • Some Colleges Will Soon Charge $100,000 a Year. How Did This Happen?
  • I very intentionally received only an associate's degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It's worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs "require" a bachelor's or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

    In my experience, I've seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

  • Obesity has become the most common form of malnutrition in the majority of countries
  • I've been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.

    More than anything it's just awareness.

  • A time before GPS. Some people might even remember when people had to actually send you hand drawn maps with the gas station you had to turn at
  • One of my first jobs involved covering hundreds of miles for on-site tech support. Pre smartphone.

    The best thing about printed turn by turn directions is that if you miss a turn, you're pretty much screwed. They were occasionally wrong as well, listing streets that didn't exist etc.

    I'd generally have a backup map as well just in case.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • The brakes are part of the trailer. I'd imagine laws are different everywhere, but where I'm at trailer brakes are required for 3000+ pound trailers, though it's a bit more complicated than that and even a 1500 pound trailer could require them.

    Anyway, the point is that big 5th wheel travel trailers are way heavier than even a huge dually truck. A 7,000 pound truck can tow a 25,000 pound trailer. I'd imagine the towbot would be limited to something a bit more sane, like 6,000 pounds (class 3 hitch). Since the towbot doesn't also have to carry passengers etc, I'd imagine 1,500 to 2,000 pounds for it.

  • Americans Are Falling Behind on Their Car Payments
  • Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.

  • Spotify re-invented the radio
  • Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it's dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

  • YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users
  • Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

    Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I'm guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

  • ‘People are happier in a walkable neighborhood’: the US community that banned cars
  • https://www.walkscore.com/WA/

    I'm right there with you. Well, a bit worse, rocking a 20 for walkability. On a few occasions I have decided to take my life in to my own hands, walking the 1 mile alongside the cars which seem to have confused the 40 mph road with a drag strip.

    The sweet reward for doing so? Nothing but the finest of dining options. From Subway to McDonald's to Taco Time, we've got it all!

  • In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either
  • Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride.

    I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn't pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn't make sense for us, not on long trips at least.
