More expensive bourbon tends to be more interesting but not necessarily more pleasant to drink. In my case it quickly becomes too fancy for my taste buds around 2-3x the price of the cheapest one. Whiskey is a bit more complicated.

In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can’t hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.
I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.
One exception: I wouldn’t buy a noname filter claiming to e.g. be a hepa filter or having high MERV rating - I wouldn’t trust a brand that might not be around long enough to be penalized for false advertising
A rehabilitated convict turned prison cleric actually
I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I’m above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.
He nodded, took off his coat and that’s when I noticed a clerical collar.
Even if they had all parts they would be looking at months of cleanup
Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.
There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.
Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.
For me that’s achieved by being 6 timezones ahead - I finish work, turn off my computer and go to sleep.
Almost. a 10db change is a 10x difference in power and roughly 2x difference in perceived loudness
Decibel scale is logarithmic, which means 10db change is reducing perceived volume by half.
4k 120Hz HDR is what current gen consoles can output right now and what is becoming common even on mid-range TVs (quality of HDR aside). I’d expect you’d want most of that experience or future-proof solution that would allow that when you get a new TV.
Tl;dr; a long, active fiber HDMI cable + USB over IP might be cheaper, better and easier. That’s what I ended up buying despite the cable length being 60m (200ft).
Yes. PSN is only available in about 70 countries (out of 190). E.g. in the entire continent of Africa only one country has access.
Even some members of European Union don’t get PSN.
I’d have no problem accepting a free car
There are no dumb TVs if you want e.g. OLED. The closest you can get is a smart tv that you never connect to the internet. If you like 4k HDR it will still be a major pain…
Sony is fairly close
It mostly is, but it has it’s drawbacks:
also you end up thinking weird thoughts few people have before: e.g. “how do I stop moose from trampling my garlic?” I mean how many people throughout human history had pondered that? ;-)
I gave up on everyone: I’ve packed my shit and moved back to the EU, to a middle of nowhere, population 50. Closest neighbor is a 10 minute walk away. Started a large garden, learned some blacksmithing and basic carpentry. Still working remotely for the same company as before, but now when I go outside I have fresh air, I can see the stars and I can hear nobody.
Planar magnetic headphones that start around $200 (monolith m1060) will do that
