  • I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.

    On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.

    This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.





  • Effective means of societal change always have collateral damage. It’s especially true in the current paradigm. But, the more that choose meaningful change and proactively sacrifice for it, the less the collateral damage.

    That’s why there’s a homeless man living in my shed. Without need to seek out shelter, water, food, and clothing he learned to use a computer/internet in a week and has now secured several job interviews. If he fucked up or someone fucked him over he can come back. He’ll probably be one that makes it to the “other side”.

    I don’t think I’m special. These are basic human responses to the situation that exists. Government won’t help. We must help each other. Seems simple enough to me.

    Summary: Previously Biden/Harris threw money at law enforcement. But, now they’re wanting more active shooter drills in schools and to throw money at virtue signaling through a task force focused on 3D printing.

    Editorial: They’ll do anything but take from corporations to provide hope for the children’s future.

    Why is the “high end” brand Sony?

    About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

    About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup’s receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

    I’ve been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?
