I work in the industry and my understanding of the chips act is certain goals must be met in order to receive money. Something like in order to get this 50 million, you must buy 100 million of new equipment and facilities improvement. In order to get this 25 million you must have 50 million worth of new jobs. These requirements were also spread out over years so you couldn't artificially inflate your work force or sell off equipment.

Not saying Intel doesn't suck, but I doubt they are getting chips act money now. Or they will have to have a big turn around in the next few years to do so. They certainly aren't getting a free 8 billion.

I remember learning about the Internet in school and coming home and asking my parents if we could get it. I was then informed we had the Internet for over a decade (both my parents were in IT and remoted in to work). I was so excited to go to pokemon.com but while lecturing me about URLs and spell checking my mom typed in pokeman.com. Very different site...

Talked to my friends the next day and none of them had internet so I got to brag about the pokemon info I had and about a cool wrestling site I found.

I think the 360 failed for the same reason lots of early/mid 2000s PCs failed. They had issues with chips lifting due to the move away from leaded solder. Over time the formulas improved and we don't see that as much anymore. At least that's the way I recall it.

I'm an older millennial and don't want to play online. I thought younger millennials liked playing online.

The only deal I find on prime day is storage. Usually pick up a SSD or few SD cards and save a few bucks.

Superchunk has a song called hyper enough and I think the first verse ends with "lofter gusts" but it sounds like he's saying "laughter guns" to me and many others. So much so the band made an EP with the title. Features a college radio show doing a deep dive on the subject.

it's because it's not taking into account any other expenses, phone, internet, utilities etc.

Spending 75-100 a week for a person in groceries is pretty normal in my experience. Before COVID I was spending 50-60 a week but those days are over. .

I get not being interested in games that have strong lgbtq+ themes or story. I'm not, but I'm also glad they exist and people can find games that represent them. I'm also not opposed to playing as an lgbtq+ character in the same way I don't mind playing as a female character.

Being so close minded you can't stand for sandbox games to allow you to make a pride flag, or an RPG allow you to make a non binary character is just hateful.

My 4th of July songs are "woods of love by the embarrassment" which is about barbaric acts America has committed and "Not proud of the USA by the Mice" about anti war. I think you'll like both if you like green day. They have cited the mice as an influence.
