audience won't have a choice but to watch it
This is only true if humans stop making art. Maybe Hollywood dies at the hands of AI, but independent media will always exist & consumers will always have a choice.

When I used to work fast food, my manager told me that the most expensive component of a soft drink is the ice. Syrup & (filtered) water are pennies, but ice requires electricity to maintain and it's a little more expensive than you'd think.
Another commenter suggested cold brew. That's probably the best to maximize sweetness. Good luck!
If I were to provide a suggestion, I would start with fresh grinding your coffee from beans. You can get a pretty cheap manual grinder for like $20-30. I don't remember the name of mine (it's generic) but it was like $30 on Amazon and is great when I travel.
Next time you're in a coffee shop, grab their cheapest blend. Coffee shops, in my experience, have fresher beans than the grocery store, especially if they roast their own coffee.
It doesn't have to be the $26 organic single origin, just something that's been roasted more recently than 6 months ago. Maybe you'll be able to convince your S/O to get some better coffee in the future.
Honestly, your ingredients are going to far surpass any brewing method. I've brewed cheap coffee in my Chemex that didn't taste very good and quality coffee in a hotel in-room Coffee machine that tasted amazing.
Good Beans + Good Water gets you like 70% of the way to good coffee.
I've been reading articles for years about how Google say they're going to open the RCS API to 3rd-Party apps but they have yet to do so.
I think you're a great parent who interrogates the media that your child is consuming!
The aesthetic of Palworld feeds that cynicism; it's charming and colorful and awfully brutal. Parents should be aware of the game's content and the game should probably get a Teen rating (at least in the US; not sure how PEGI does their rating).
Yeah because taking your pets to an arena-style fight to "fainting" is also a great model for the kids lmao
Pokémon's dog fighting aside, Palworld has a certain cynicism that imo takes it out of the realm of a kids game. The game allows you to capture humans and then has a little blurb about how it's "inhumane" to do so. There's a niche for an "adult" monster capture game that Palworld is filling. I'm curious about how the game will continue to develop in early access. They have a lot of funding & hype, let's see if they can see it through to a full release (or wallow in development like so many other Early Access survival games).
To bring that forward a generation, there was a period around 2013-2014 when vaping was brand new and schools hadn't written any rules yet.
I remember kids vaping in class and some teachers being kinda okay with it, or at least turning a blind eye. Granted, only like 1 or 2 people in the school had vapes.
I can't speak for all of the models, but my AMD Framework 13 can charge on any slot. I really like being able to charge from either side of my laptop.
IMO, modular ports is not the main selling point for Framework. I was sold on their commitment to a platform that is repairable/upgradable.

I'm not sure how you can get much cheaper than a local band lol.
I can go see a DIY show with a local no-name act for less than $12. There are even shows (often I see this for theatrical shows) that are pay-what-you-can (including $0). I don't see a world where these are going away, even in the face of AI.
Besides, I don't think the consumer is comparing a local band with the 'beetles'. The Beatles are quite literally one of the most influential acts of all time – it's a false equivalency.
