Anecdotal, but I just replaced my favorite pair of Pumas, which were at least 12 years old. Granted I didn't wear them every single day, but at least 2 or 3 days a week for 12 years is pretty good in my book. I've had to replace Adidas sooner than that with less wear, but they still last pretty long and I'll confidently buy both brands. I'd never buy Nike (and wouldn't wear most Nikes either honestly, just not my personal taste in style)

For some reference, here's a picture of maybe 2/3 of my shoes, many of which are Pumas. There's also a couple pairs of Keds in there, but they're more recent and I don't know yet how they hold up long term comparatively

You're right, though games are also "media" 😋

Super fair, I'm neurodivergent (though generally mask very well) and tend to notice small details like that (while forgetting that my perspective is often in the minority in that regard)

A computer hooked up to a TV is considered a media center PC, or an HTPC, not a console

I know, I just take (very very slight) issue with your choice of "can't" rather than "won't"

The current people of the ruling class can't do anything about it

They absolutely could do something about it as proven by how the current (US) administration has made things markedly worse than the previous admin. (If they can make it worse then they can also make it better)

The car’s exterior eliminated the traditional hood, removing the need for drivers to open it for routine maintenance. Instead, a service center would handle all checks and adjustments, and the car’s onboard system would notify owners when servicing was due.

Honestly surprised some auto manufacturer hasn't tried this in a production vehicle

I wouldn't be surprised if what the Dems got was certain names redacted from the about-to-be-released Epstein files in exchange for ending the shutdown

Can you even buy a current gen console for that? Genuinely asking, I don't own any console systems but thought they were in the $5-600 range now (excluding the Switch)?

The tooltips are often a smaller font though, which is an issue for some (many?) of us

Also not so great for mobile

But can it run crysis?

These amounts apply to the total value of goods bought overseas, excluding liquor and tobacco. Any value above the relief limit is taxable, and travellers are required to declare it upon or prior to arrival.

Doesn't apply to everything you possess and traveled to and from with, only that which you've bought overseas and brought home
