Right-wingers never agree to annual payouts except for the rich. It’s absolutely a one time thing.

once you disregard polution

Including radioactive waste, which coal produces significantly more of than fission power.

About to get?

So, completely unnecessary death and injury directly attributable to the time change is worth that?

It leads to statistically significant increases in human death, injury, and financial loss due to stress caused by disruptions to circadian rhythm. The question you should be asking is “why do we still do it despite this, when there is literally no benefit?”

I’d be happy. I didn’t care which offset is used as long as we stick to it.

“There’s no such thing as hell, but you can make it if you try.”

Torture is for the pleasure of the torturer (and possibly those ordering it). As a secondary impact, it may terrorize a populace. It serves no other purpose.

Latest that I got was “antisemitic” for criticizing voting for Stein on account of her ties to Russian oligarchs and the Green Party’s abject lack of any attempt to organize or run down-ballot candidates that could have a positive impact. I then discovered that it was an alt for a tankie from the grad.

What right does Moscow have to impose its will on other sovereign nations? None.

I’d say that you Canadians do deserve some credit. Yes, it was the Brit’s regulars that did the burning of government buildings (no longer distracted by that Napoleon fellow, they were able to use their veteran forces, rather than people from the W bench). However, Canadian militia made it possible by guarding the North.

Seriously, wtf is going on with these people

Religious fundamentalism and lust for power.

A slight modification as I have new information: If you can justify it, the Xreal One might be worthwhile as they have added an ASIC to do away when the buggy software and dongle nonsense. Still not super open-source friendly (they’re not actively hostile either) but that seems to solve my biggest issue with the experience. They seem to have better quality optics as well.

I may end up getting a pair of those to replace my Nreal Airs that are held together with tape and CA glue (I’m unfortunately hard on my electronics).

No problem! My “dream” HMD would be birdbath optics with ~2k displays for each eye and probably some simple hardware upscaling. The glasses being “dumb” is a real perk. Doubling the pixels/° would make the experience that much better.

Previously, I’d have recommended Xreal Air but the company is allergic to open-source and doesn’t have a great track record of supporting their own software. At the moment, Viture seems a better bet, from those that I’m aware of. For screen replacement, the high pixels-per-degree of birdbath optics, like both use, are extremely advantageous and cause much less eye strain. And that’s while being far cheaper than waveguides or pancake optics.

That actually is something that I’ve been contemplating doing. I never use the built-in display - HMD glasses are just much nicer.

For my use, I would still want the battery/portability. Just without an internal display because I use a 1080p HMD and like playing on the Deck in bed, etc. Add a capability like the joycons but symmetrical and with all of the Deck’s inputs, and I’d be quite happy.

I would actually rather like a Steam Deck without a display but with at least one full USB4 port and the ability to split it similar to a switch.

If it could use apple’s messages.app then i would be so happy.

That’s an Apple problem, not a Steam Deck or Linux problem. Apple refuses to allow support on non-Apple hardware.
