A Fraser Institute op-ed has to be taken with a grain of salt the size of the Canadian shield.

Bit of a curveball, but for remote work have you considered Barbados?

ARPG: Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn.

Also consider the survivors/bullet hell kinds of games: Vampire Survivors, Soulstone Survivors, etc.

Well now you have. I played (and finished) Betrayal at Krondor.

I can’t help but feel offended by some of those poses. Q hunching, the Borg queen running, Khan doing whatever he’s doing with his left hand…

I donate to food banks and educational charities. I grew up with little and now I’m better off thanks to charities and scholarships that supported me, and I want future generations to be given the same chances I was.

The only reason they offered compensation is because he’s well known. How many small time content creators don’t have the fame to cause such a reaction and are left high and dry?

It could be to protect the cord from being damaged by the prongs - the plastic cover would be softer and less sharp.

Except that Starlink pricing and throughput is not linear. They’re starting to add congestion charges in popular areas, they have no satellites at higher latitudes, and their devices suffer at low temperatures. If you think that Starlink will be able to deliver what Elmo claims, then I have a trip to the Titanic to sell to you.
