Did I have a stroke?

What does this mean though? Sure it's not new, but does it make it less of a mess?

I have this inkling that the first one wasn't written by an 8 year old..

You're not wrong. I am most certainly projecting how I believe I might behave given the situation. And I do agree with the idea that once you give something, it's not up to you to decide how it's used. Like the article is pointing out, these biases are frighteningly common that funds will be used in negative ways (drugs/alcohol).

I am, however, trying to paint a more "accurate" picture for how most people would be charitably giving/receiving (small denominations, namely). Would that change in amount be significant in how it is then utilized.

The choice of it being given in a large sum is interesting. I recognize I have the bias of giving money to individuals with fear that it will be misused, but I do think it has to do with amount. If someone gave me $20 randomly, I'd be much more likely to impulse spend it than if I was given $1,000. With a large sum it feels more impactful to save/invest/pay bills than needing to contribute small amounts consistently.

The first thing that springs to mind is something like a "magic mirror". I haven't delved into it a ton, but I'm fairly certain that it would be able to hit most of your criteria.

That being said, I'd think it could be a decent enough starting point to at least find other things in the same vein.

Can you expand on some of this?

I haven't really heard much regarding them being bad to their community/customer base, though I haven't bought in a few years.

In regards to cost/performance, what are you meaning you'd need to spend extra on to match that of an old laptop or recycled machine?

Pretty lame to do the clickbait title...

And then to have a dodgy source that you're pointing to as well..

Edit - Had to search it myself as the page wouldn't load: it's David Corenswet

What sort of cost per kg difference is PHA over "regular" PLA? I would be willing to give it a shot, but I have a hard time throwing $40 at a spool as it is.

I've been using Elgin Rebels for work (noisy factory) as they're OSHA approved. Battery life is good and the actual "ear plugs" are pretty comfy.

Well I suppose that's good then. It was effectively killing the project last I read about it.
