You're good at packing, some folk are better with customers. It's a skill. And it's skilled labor.

I work in construction and will give you the common viewpoint (non-US).

We use PVC pipes to drain used water and PPRC pipes to supply fresh water to flats in an apartment. These are all installed to be practically permanent. The concrete is put in place on top of these pipes.

I imagine hoses can be used for the same purpose, but the price would be simply higher and no investor would prefer hoses over pipes for this reason. If there is a type of hose that is as effective as these pipes and as affordable, it's not available in my region

I had the same problem. My SSD is constantly full so I bought a cheap external HDD and instead of deleting&redownloading games I just move them between disks.

Saves data and is faster. I'd recommend it.

It is clunky to use but their catalogue is great. I would recommend it to anyone trying to find audiobooks.

Something being illegal under EU law is used as an ace in the hole for some reason. These multi-billion companies will pay the fines in the EU and continue operating. On the off chance they roll back these changes in the EU, they'll keep using them in the US, China, Russia, wherever.

Only thing that'll stop this is global laws against it, which is impossible because of bribery. Oh sorry, lobbying.

I don't understand this whataboutism the US has going on. Trump was a megalomaniac and didn't give a shit about the country. Biden is a demented old man and doesn't give a shit about the country.

Democrats and republicans have chosen horrible leaders this past decade. Can't you see it's harming you all? Why are you acting like this is a sports team you'll die following?

Definitely recommend roll20. Our group moved there during the lockdowns and we finished one campaign and began another. We played Pathfinder.

There is stuff you can purchase but it's mostly cosmetics like tokens or dynamic lighting.
