Ok, but equally any competition would need to be profitable earlier, you can't complain you got a service operating at a loss which is now operating at a profit when that's exactly what any alternative you'd feasibly switch to would do

Hey, you don't even need to be a part of [Input Empire Here], you can just be a Hitler megafan and change your time zone to impress Senpai (ahem, Spain)
Wow after all the lying and disinformation spreading the Tories have been doing (even compared to usual) I was really starting to think that Reform were the more reasonable and mature right wing party but I guess there are none... There's a huge gap in the market and it made sense for someone to fill it but I guess we'll have to wait for someone else
They're white light being separated into its wavelengths by passing though water, sounds like a rainbow to me
It's normal for most afaik but that's because manufacturers make a trimmed down phone to go on your wrist which means you have to charge it daily, without realising it's on your wrist so it doesn't need to be super slim with huge cuts to battery size to go in your pocket.
My garmin has an always on display, heart rate, steps, blood oxygen, thermometer, barometer and whatever else and yet still manages a 4 week battery life, 3 weeks with normal use (1h gps per day, using the touchscreen and higher brightness) or even around 50-60h of GPS/more frequent heart rate/active maps activity tracking
It's on 7% now and is giving me an estimated battery life of >2 days, which just shows how abysmal many smart watch battery lives are
"Most historical settings"
Roman sure, especially as you get closer to Africa but nonzero elsewhere also
Middle ages, mediæval and renaissance almost certainly limited to higher nobility households either as nobles or "interesting" servants or major trading ports, especially closer to Africa.
The chances of a mediæval serf in a germanic country not looking northern Europe, or Mediterranean at a huge stretch, are functionally zero though, as anyone who came with the Romans will have been long dead with their genetics widely dispersed, and anyone who came over recently would likely be in an urban area, with marriage or higher level employment being their only chance to end up in a rural area.
America has the best and worst beer, as PNW is one of the best hop growing regions, but overly industrial pisswater still rules
Just use multiple pages if needed?
Who needs all their words on a single huge page like some sort of scroll?
2 was by far the most polished, but 3 had more features so I guess ideal lies somewhere in the middle
My gas meter thinks it's on prepayment mode and won't go off... The previous owners got it replaced, and it still didn't work so they sent a technician out and made it so it won't disable itself as it won't stay in credit mode
How hard is it to make something that works?
Oh yeah I absolutely agree with monopoly abuse being a bad thing with a huge caveat that it's so much worse for essential services and not quite as bad for extras, like youtube. I personally can't see any competition to youtube being able to provide a better service - it's in a similar niche to Netflix where they were great until they got competition at which point the userbase and content fragmented, which meant they had to provide a worse service to make money as the content rights agreements made it into several small monopolies and so they were literally unable to compete, which is frankly worse
