The concept of having a limit doesn't seem too crazy to me, but yea, 5 hours is just so restrictive. Like, if it doesn't have aggressive idle-detection, I'd eat my entire 5-hours on a pause menu while dealing with an upse

I mean, I think a small website/blog with an RSS feed would be fine. If they really want it in social media format they could host an at proto PDS.

I didn't say the build out time was months. I said: > the test isn't "how much is price going up" it's "how aggressively are the RAM producers expanding supply production"

Does Amazon require the contractor to have the contractors drivers wear Amazon branded vests? What if the DSP is a single-person company? Then the DSP and the driver are the same person. In that case, is it Amazon or the DSP requiring the d
