I don't think there's magic one size fits all answer to this, it really sucks you have to deal with it. Avoid destructive behaviours like drinking until you pass out etc, they won't help in the long term. Do you have any friends IRL you can call on?

I'm sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I'm comparing performance of hardware I'm already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don't bother to check their site.

I haven't visited their site in a long time though, so I'm not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.

I think the world is finally ready for teabag authentication.

Interested to see where that data comes from, as looking at the lifetime emissions of an EV vs an ICE vehicle inclusive of fuel EVs are generally significantly lower emissions. If you're only considering the emissions associated with the manufacture of the vehicles, EVs do result in more GHG, but very quickly once both vehicles are actually in use the benefits of EVs become apparent.

That was really good. It's something I hadn't given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn't exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn't really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

A couple of random suggestions:

RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs

Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.

Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4

Is there any verification or evidence of this or is it simply more of the drag queens = pedophiles rhetoric?
