No worries, I probably could have worded it better anyways

That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards

If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.

Titanfall 2 is fun! I did the singleplayer in about 6 to 7 hours.

Not vegan, but pescetarian, so vaguely similar.

I personally like vegan meat replacements because I just miss meat. Some people also want to fit in, and not abstain from a tradition because of dietary preference. Meat is a pretty big part of culture, at least here in the U.S., with burgers, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham, July 4th hotdogs, etc.

Additionally, the same arguement could be applied in the other direction. Some traditional meats from various places on earth are spiders, scorpions, Greenland shark, puffin, guinea pig, horse, and seal meat. These aren't popular in the U.S., for instance, for various reasons. Most notably for this thread is that these, with some exceptions, would be hard to scale, especially for the demand of them here.

While I would like to try more exotic foods, they're not that easy to come across.

There is the factory seconds stock, which is cheaper, but RAM, storage, Wi-Fi card, power brick and expansion cards are sold separately. https://frame.work/products/factory-seconds-framework-laptop-13-diy-edition-11th-gen-intel-core Still over your price range though.

I was wondering where the dankpods would be

Guilded is owned by Roblox, not Micro$oft.

In my eyes that makes it even worse

Some things I felt I should mention:

Firstly and most comically: Some sauropods swallowed rocks to aid in digestion, which are called gastroliths. While I only know of diplodocoids (think long and low sauropods) having used gastroliths, Brachiosaurus and other macronarians (tall sauropods, as seen in the picture) might have used them, although I'm not certain on that, as there is some differences in diet between diplodocoids and macronarians. If so, their vomit might have been even more dangerous, although the gastroliths are stored in their own organ iirc. (Just looked it up, there is gastroliths found that probably came from Cedarosaurus, which is a macronarian that was pretty closely related to Brachiosaurus, link: https://fr.copernicus.org/articles/18/1/2015/fr-18-1-2015.pdf)

Secondly and most nitpicky: The picture shows fairly large dromaeosaurs, which don't have a record of existing in the Late Jurassic when Brachiosaurus existed. Now, the fossil record is very incomplete, with one estimate putting the known number of Tyrannosaurus rex specimens at about one billionth of the amount that lived over the 3 million years that species was present. But there are no dromaeosaurs that I know of from the Late Jurassic, let alone the Morrison Formation where Brachiosaurus is found, which is one of the best fossil sites for dinosaurs. It isn't impossible, the split between bird and dromaeosaurs was before the Late Jurassic, but it is highly unlikely, especially in the Morrison, as there were a bunch of predators that would have competed with a large dromaeosaur. Again, this last one is very nitpick-y. Still a funny image though

I'm not an ichtyologist, but iirc most fish can breath without moving. Some sharks must move to breath, but plenty of them don't have to, i.e. the wobbegongs

Another app is LibreTube, although it uses piped, which I kinda dislike as it means (depending on the instance you connect to) videos load slower and the subscriptions don't all get refreshed.

I know there is a toggle for disabling piped, but the subscription issue doesn't seem to get affected.
