Well, good! That's the kind of person you'd want on your currency. Why pick someone who hates their country?

You do need a special stylus, and they're still made today. Good example here: https://www.ortofon.com/ortofon-2m-78-p-598-n-1579 It shouldn't be that hard to find a decent turntable with 78 RPM.

Yes, that was my point. The 2016 election was roughly evenly split on the popular vote, with a slight advantage to the democrats. Meanwhile the media believed that the democrats a >90% chance of winning.

Don't forget Apple. They absolutely hate customers servicing the hardware they bought and paid for, and they fight it with both technology and lawyers. Remember that awesome time when Apple disabled phones, because they had a 3rd party

I was going to make a comparison to that game, but I can't find any way to tally up the total cost of all its DLC on Steam, but posts from 2018 quote it at around 5000 USD. So it's not Train Sim levels bad, but it's not far o

Yea, gotta rake in that sweet DLC money. In fact, the base game is just a vessel to extract as much money from people as possible. Flight Sim X has 272 pieces of DLC costing many thousands of dollars. It's obscene, and they should be a
