Mario kart is still a thing. I absolutely hate the not actually random item drops, though. Getting punished for being in the lead is lame.

GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.

Yes, but no one dies if they get pushed back 2 weeks. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are first on the chopping block.

And again, it's supply and demand. The hospitals want the profit. They don't want to pay any overhead for the product.

Blood is just as bad, but yes, the markup is insane in the US, compared to the machinery and time to collect plasma.

Blood, for instance gets sold by the red cross to hospitals for around $215 per unit. Hospitals in turn will charge anywhere from $580 to $3,000 for it.

Also, most blood is used for elective surgeries that are not life critical. Any time you hear about their being a blood shortage that could effect what hospitals can give, what they actually mean is that there's plenty for emergency and necessary use, but they may have to postpone elective and cosmetic surgeries.

Obviously, the issue would be solved easily by paying people enough to be worth it to donate. People would be lining up if they got something like $100 to donate a pint. Something that only takes about 30 minutes to do.

You can, but it's a lot of number crunching time to convert a bunch of files like that, as opposed to just using a different player.

Thankfully, vlc's audio offset function is very easy to quickly adjust and save. As long as the audio delay is consistent you can adjust it pretty quickly.

Oh. This is /technology. I thought pants were about to go way up in price for a second.

That's the reported inflation by the government markers, but be realistic with yourself.

Since 2017 food prices have gone up more like 65%, houses have gone up 50% (doubled since 2010), mortgage apr rates have tripled, rent has gone up 74%, and gas has gone up by 35%. Used cars and new cars have gone up 40% to 80% as well.

Tying "inflation" to those government markers and claiming that it keeps you at even pace (I'm not accusing you of this) with living is asinine. If you want to buy a house and a car today, you pretty much need to double what you were making in 2017.

They're preoccupied trying to figure out how to get their population to stop disappearing.

Wow. 1000? I subscribe to like 10. Lol

I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it's worked fine since then. Afraid I don't remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it's been problem free for me.

Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don't buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let's you download vids.
