Considering how each generation of Boston Dynamics robots becomes more and more graceful, I don't see how the problems you suggested won't be non-issues incredibly fast.

Also, unrelated to your comment, people are delusional if they don't think this is the ultimate goal, right? Amazon's reassurances are bunk - if they could eliminate people they would, they just can't do without them yet.

I've done SVE but nothing so comprehensive.

I am cautious about some mods that significantly change the difficulty of the game downward, though, and a lot of otherwise great mechanics mods include features that are... too tempting for me.

I love the kids that add in more diverse cave and caverns levels as well as new "large ores". That really makes those parts more fun!

It's wild. In the many hundreds of hours I've put into this game on multiple systems, only one save is longer than 3 years. I guess I'm mostly into the early-to-mid game.

I am sure for 1.6 I will start over yet again!

I do love a good hat. My horse is always either wearing a fez or a garbage can lid

I play on my laptop and on Switch, but I hear you! I think mobile is just a very different network stack.

Sunbird worked - I was in the beta - but it turned out to have no encryption whatsoever. I am skeptical.

I put to you that minimum wage should be the minimum amount people need to live and that companies that can't cope with that overhead should go out of business or adjust their business plan accordingly because otherwise they are causing harm to their employees.

I do understand that will indeed increase unemployment for a time, but there are many major corporations with record profits whose bottom tier employees are already subsidized by the government because they can't afford to live.

I think we do need a better support structure to help people who are unemployed for any reason. I get that this all puts stress on companies, but in 2023 companies need to face more pressure to care for the people who make their profit possible, IMO.

Minimum wage needs to be tied to inflation because otherwise it is divorced of meaning and no longer keeps our fellow citizens alive.

Do you feel like your job is on the whole fair? I have often wondered if claims investigators either come to believe most claimants are lying or, conversely, that insurance companies are exploiting people.

They want to ruin public education and have it pay for private school so no one's child might learn anything they seem progressive. That's been the game plan, that's what DeVos was working on - underpaid teachers and a stifling censorship environment causing teachers and students to leave public Ed is by design.

It's been a long time since I've gone sailing. I do have Plex running but I don't want to unsafely sail. I see some folks do alternate streaming but I'm sick of relying on a service that will yank things away, I want to store stuff.
