Lego’s competition has been improving their quality in the last few years, to a point where I’d argue some are on par or better (Cobi, Mould King, Xingbao).

At the same time Lego has started to produce in China like almost any other competitor and their quality has lapsed somewhat. Especially color accuracy has allegedly been shite, even in some VERY expensive sets.

Lego just isn’t worth an almost 100% premium, imo. If you’re in Europe check out Bluebrixx and Cobi. One makes licensed Star Trek sets, the other licensed cars like Škoda, Opel, Fiat, and others.

If you read my comment carefully you will notice that I was talking about Sex, not Gender.

Both sexes can have or lack tits. So the first one is okay, the second one is sexist.

They all look so happy, like kids having a birthday party in a giant ball pit.

Do you remember a time where the receipt had the name of the store, the time and date of the purchase, an itemized list of what you bought, and the tax you paid and nothing else?

Nowadays there’s also a transaction id, a qr code, a coupon for your next purchase, a quote of the day, a novel, and some ads printed on there. My last order of french fries came with a piece of paper that is longer than my forearm. Ikea spits out half a metre of thermal paper when I order 2 hot dogs. Whyyyu?

Processing or transaction fees. Anytime you use your card for a purchase the bank gets a cut of that. This fee can range from .1% to 4%, depending on the credit card processor.

A typical office keeb is around $15. If you can build this for anywhere close to $150 I’m gonna take 2, please!

Other options: NewPipe, Libretube, Grayjay

Have you watched a game of Association Football (or real football) lately? They digitally alter the ads on physical LED banners for different broadcast regions.

Do you even realize how much energy is needed to produce significant amounts of hydrogen and then compressing it to a useful pressure? FOB solar isn’t going to cut it. Decentralized H2 production isn’t a viable thing without fossil fuels or a working power grid.

Wrong! Here’s the actual guy who killed the most slavs in both centuries:

She’s born in Oakland, CA. Where did she illegally migrate to?

Is the same true for a blue lives matter shirt, I wonder?

Except some species target bee hives and kill all the fuzzballs to get to the honey.

It’s about options, buddy! Having a headphone jack does not prevent you from using Bluetooth headphones.

These deploy in case of total engine failure to provide enough thrust to get the aircraft to the next airport.

Jellyfin might be your way to go.
