I barely use Amazon, it's just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they're evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it's urgent for work. Thing is I'm not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I've been kinda torn for ages and can't bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.

I just convince myself I'm playing the system...

It can be a bit like climbing a mountain, sometimes you gotta stay at a certain height for a while to let your body acclimatise and get used to your new lifestyle.

Without a strict exercise routine it can get harder/slower the closer you get to that goal. I'd say don't beat yourself up, make maintenance the goal for a bit while making little changes until you're ready to push on.

American culture really has mastered being both violent and fragile

Because that's really just to be expected at this point, and what his audience would want..

Better to focus on constantly poking at him for being dumb, which he and his fans hate, rather than give them what they want, ie being upset at their hateful language

I think they've done them a favour in a way. If this was day one then it might hurt them but they're past the point of like 90% of their sales I bet, and now pegi looking like incompetent dinosaurs is just a free second wave of social media exposure

£13 but shipping is half that again so I've ordered 2.

They're just on a flex cable with a smd connector so 5 mins to swap

TNG S5E2 is the legendary episode from this post. You have so many gems in your journey like S2E9 etc etc. You are in an envious position of experiencing the franchise for the first time, just make sure you start out with TNG, DS9(slow start but great), and Voy (a bit mid but with some great episodes) & I always thought enterprise was good.

Post that lot though... The newer films can be a fun cinematic experience I guess, but the series are mostly trash. SNW had some moments, Discovery had a few, but really MEH.

Oh also TNG S1 was fairly rough but improves so much as it ran. Still had its share of duds but the highs of the high points were some of the best TV of the genre at the time.

I'm about to be installing my 3rd usb c on my fairphone because using my earphones all day phone in pocket kills the port. I've used devices like this mostly daily since mini discs came out, only ever broken one 3.5mm in that time.

If I didn't have a fairphone I'd have to go back to wireless iem over crappy Bluetooth that last about 12-18 months.
