Yea I agree $40k is a bit disingenuous. But the cost of a car is more than the car itself. It's better to view it as a ongoing expense of fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc. AAA estimates between 7-10k a year. https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/average-annual-cost-of-new-vehicle-ownership

I got it for free with a CPU I bought. Played roughly 3 hours before I stopped. It was just too boring.

As with pretty much any staple food. It's used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.

If a staple food isn't part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.

Also I enjoy rice. It's neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it's good.

Nice catch. I usually do but it slipped my mind.

Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That's my guess.

Nice harder drive. Here's a vid of more examples of silly ways to store data: https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio

I didn't grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

These would be solicited technically.

Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

I started with Small Gods. Which is a standalone story that takes place early chronologically. After reading that as a test to see how well I would like it. I then went to the beginning in publishing order.
