And as a bonus, the taste of magnesium citrate doesn't make you gag like the prescription stuff.

There's a much cheaper model, the Zero, that's good enough for messing around with and performing simple server tasks like PiHole. Even it has had its price increase multifold over the years, though only to fifteen bucks from an original price of five.
It's also much smaller than the already tiny Pi, being able to fit in a standard orange pill bottle. Though the downside of that size is smaller and fewer ports, so you need a USB OTG adapter (preferably a hub) and micro HDMI adapter to plug things into it if you don't want to run it headless.
Due to all the registry and group policy changes I've made to decrapify Windows, I'm legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they've only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.
Roberts was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for his role in the Moonrock caper, as well as a separate offence of stealing dinosaur bones from a museum in Utah.
I'm afraid to ask what he did with the dinosaur bones!
Apparently Rockstar paid around $5-10k per track for GTA IV, so it wouldn't take much of a boost in sales to be more significant than the licensing fee income.
Both licensed and indie bands whose works have been included in the Guitar Hero games have gained further popularity from this inclusion.[51] Both record companies[52] and retailers[53] have experienced increases of 200% to 300% in sales of songs after their inclusion in the series. Every Guitar Hero III song tracked by Nielsen SoundScan (62 of 70) saw an increase in digital download sales the week ending December 30, 2007, when many who got the game as a gift were playing it,[54] and every song included in Guitar Hero III and Rock Band saw downloaded sales increase during 2007 between 15% and 843%.[14]
Music licensing for games is so dumb. You'd think the studios would remember the Guitar Hero effect, where having your back catalog featured in a game introduces it to a new generation and brings sales and new fans.
If anything, they should pay the devs for the exposure rather than the other way around. It's not like I bought Hi-Fi Rush for the music, but I ended up enjoying and seeking out a few tracks due to it.
Whole wheat? No, wheat hole.
Maybe the family received one of those ironic curses after what they did to Rosemary?
And traffic sniffing to detect hotspots/tethering, which often have limits of a few gigabytes even on "unlimited" plans, after which they charge you extra even though it costs them the same as any other traffic.
Because their plan is to go all-in on Bethesda and "high-impact" titles. They don't care if a game is good or beloved by fans if it doesn't sell millions of copies at AAA prices.
They just had Starfield make a fortune based purely on Bethesda hype despite middling reception from the community. They know the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls will do even better regardless of quality, so that's where their investment goes.
I think the birther nonsense is more key to his current state than people realize. I think that, rather than just being a con man playing rubes for fools, he genuinely fell down the right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole like so many others and his world view ceased even remotely resembling reality. He fits the typical conspiracy victim archetype: dumb or poorly educated (his professor called him the worst student he ever had) but thinks he's smart, and desperate for validation and respect due to his father's abusive upbringing. Surrounding himself with people who'd call him a genius and truth-teller for whatever random nonsense he spouted broke his filter on reality and he dove right in and soaked up their approval.
In other words, he's every moron you see on Facebook, just with a louder voice and more reach. And being nothing special is the worst fate imaginable to a narcissist like him.
Edit: it also makes him far more dangerous, unfortunately. A con man will back down when their con starts unravelling, but if he genuinely believes the shit he's spewing, he'll keep pushing far past the point where he hurts himself and everyone around him. Which is what we've been seeing.
