Picture in picture is nice but I am disappointed that there's no split screen for all models yet.
Allowing price gouging encourages speculative hoarding which makes markets less stable and less fair. For essential items this is very undesirable for almost everyone.

using many apps with sound enabled is shocking after long periods of app silence. Social media apps sound like slot machines! So much pavlovian conditioning... Not sure how all that is still legal.

On Twitch normal latency is ~10 seconds and with their low latency modes it can be 2s or less.

Those issues you described can be resolved with $300 in retail purchases: noise canceling headphones, a wifi router, and an Ikea style desk. Add $100 for a decent office chair. It is not an unreasonable amount of money in most of the USA.
It's easy to let your mind wander and get lost in your thoughts when there is so much turmoil and uncertainty.

"Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had praised"

"Quick left amid a bitter U.S. trade dispute with China when she learned her federally funded post, officially known as resident adviser to the U.S. Field Epidemiology Training Program in China, would be discontinued as of September, the sources said. The U.S. CDC said it first learned of a “cluster of 27 cases of pneumonia” of unexplained origin in Wuhan, China, on Dec. 31."

That 100k number is for the whole world. It was a poorly worded tweet
The US federal reserve are the best in the world at what they do IMO.
Please don't spread FUD. Please do provide references for your claims.

Billionaire Sheldon Adelson contributes a lot of money to "conservative" politicians as long as they're anti drug. His son died of an overdose. https://theintercept.com/2016/11/02/sheldon-adelson-fights-m...
I had never considered those metrics as a possible source of data. I'll have to think about it. Thank you.
It's interesting for a new account to have such a strongly opinioned, eloquent, and top voted comment on such a controversial topic.
They're AT&T/Warner/HBO now.

I am upset every time I see that interface. It makes it so much more difficult to identify fake/spam websites.
People stop with all the fear mongering and there's another decade of slow and steady growth.
The Mandelorian is only the first Star Wars series. There's another based on Cassian Andor (from Rogue One, Diego Luna's character) and Obi Wan with Ewan McGreggor. I am excited for all of them!
A brand new account and it's pro-trump during an impeachment crisis?
