I personally like the early access model. You get the choice to play the game now, as-is, or wait for the developers to call it finished. Last Epoch is a great example. In its current state, it is absolutely not finished. It still gave me hundreds of hours of entertainment, though, and I expect I'll get hundreds more when I revisit it again when it's officially launched.
A Plague Tale is an incredible example of what can be done with a linear design. Both Innocence and Requiem were amazing.
Open world games like the Witcher 3 leave the player with this really weird interaction with plot urgency. I'm looking for someone but just barely missed them? Hurry to the next town so I don't miss them again? But then zero consequences when I ignore that quest for twenty levels.

The applications of this type of product wouldn't care about any of that. If anything the improved macro nutrients (decreased calories and saturated fat) would be seen as an improvement. If this is truly a 1:1 replacement like the article is suggesting, it could be huge.
The "14 years" part of the headline is particularly annoying. This thing that happens several times a year will happen the second time this month next week! It's like a headline about getting three paychecks in a month and how it won't happen again for six months. Technically true, but it's still a regular paycheck.
Quitting to desktop in elden ring is as simple as Esc, up, E, Z, left, E, E. Super simple!
Stripping popcorn ceiling
Doesn't sound like much
These are mutually exclusive. The best case scenario for popcorn ceiling is that it's a tedious pain to remove, and it only gets worse from there (painted, asbestos, etc.)
What has been your actual pay rate? $15-20/hr as an independent contractor is more like $10-14/hr after taxes. Are you concerned about the year end tax implications?
A source for your newfound fun fact.
All it takes is a three second sample, according to "The AI Dilemma" on YouTube. It's about an hour long, but it has a lot of really good information.
Instant pot rice:
-Wash rice several times, more if you want to avoid the rice all sticking together. Drain thoroughly after each wash.
-For rice that typically uses 2 cups of water per cup of rice, like long grain rice or basmati rice, add 1 1/4 cups (1.25 cups) of water per cup of rice.
-Pressure cook for six minutes.
-Natural release for at least ten minutes, more is also okay.
-Fluff rice before serving.
This works perfectly every time for me and is just as good as the fancy rice maker I used to have. I haven't made rice on the stove in years. Even when I was making it on the stove, it was never this good, and definitely never this consistent.
I read your name as Coffee Jerky and honestly I would absolutely try that.
I strongly recommend Bully Tools for shovels and other garden tools. I bought the most heavy duty shovel home depot had on the shelf and broke it two hours into my project. The bully tools shovel handled the same work no problem. I have two shovels, a rake, and a hoe from them.
Yes, max pressure. My model instant pot doesn't have different pressure settings and it comes out great.
Fresh produce is completely raw, frozen is typically parboiled (very slightly cooked), and canned is completely cooked. Frozen is typically the best balance between freshness and convenience. The only veggies I buy fresh are things I'm going to eat raw, like broccoli for eating with dips.
