Aside from the easy part, and a game selection that’s clearly less than pancake, wireless with the Q2 is cheap, wireless (even for PCVR), and stupid fun. Setup is still a bit onerous as nobody in the money chain has a reason to make it easy. OTOH, a $40 router, $10 for virtual desktop, and a balling game PC is all you really need.
I rarely have more than an hour or two for gaming at a times. So the weight of the headset and any battery life issues are moot.
Wait…so we’re concerned that verified or corroborated information on a foreign threat can’t be researched because we might turn up wrongdoing on the part of a IS Senator? You’ll have to excuse my lack of privacy concern that a person I pay can’t do research on someone else I’ve pay to determine if there is something illegal going on. Personally, I’m fucking tired of treating our elected officials like they’re God Anointed Royals.
We're all just one step from Coraline.
Corporations are people too...

50 years, and the enslavement of their children and grandchildren - that's my minimum for an experiential evaluation.
They were just unpaid interns receiving exposure and experience.
Not only that, but all their children would be guaranteed employment, housing, and care. What's not to love (aside from the hard work, beatings, rapes, and total lack of freedom)?
actual fascists
You misspelled libertarians, friend.
Indeed, it has. Just as uninteresting (but more tasty).
The man was literally arrested and appeared in court already.
Multiple times. And yet he walks free, passport in hand, foreign governments lavishing money on his closer family members (who are also his business partners), supporters lavishing money on him to aid his ~~lifestyle~~ ~~defense fund~~ campaign.
Low voltage DC collection distributed over hundreds of km - sounds brilliant.
Really- it’s a good idea with some real design and maintenance challenges. It also costs a great deal of money to implement. Covering unused land en mass is more cost effective, but still not enough to put everywhere. And just covering the water with a reflective surface would be cheaper, but still more expensive than losing the water to the atmosphere (so far).
Additionally, and more deleterious, if a company knows you're looking to take a vacation, or to buy new shoes, they can increase the price that is served to you across all of your internet searches. This is the counter to the privacy argument which separates automated/computer knowledge vs personal knowledge. It's one thing for someone to be reading all of my Gmail, which is creepy and invasive, vs Alphabet scanning my email and building a consumer profile on me so that all of my searches are tagged and referenced to extract maximum value from my online purchases, which isn't creepy or invasive (imho) but may materially affect my quality of live which is bad in a totally different way.
I have a hpwh and , when the coils aren’t leaking coolant (repaired twice under warranty) it works well. I keep it in a room that has the washer/dryer, spare fridge, icemaker, and my espresso machine - all devices which would work against my A/C in the summer. It keeps that area nice and cool. In the winter I shut off the hp and run it in resistance mode or it really cools the basement excessively (which I’d also where my home office is).
The only other drawback is that the heat pump is very noisy compared to, say, a refrigerator or a good mini split heat pump - the little fans they use on the exchanger just whine.
