I import a lot of stuff from Europe and the shipping is rough. I save by bundling items.

How do I get a job like this? Should I just email the team leads or is it the kind of job that's done in-person in another country?

Every day I take a 2 hour walk and contribute as much data as I can to OSM using this app.

Series X controllers are easily worth that extra $20-$30 for the jump in quality.

Sorry Valve. I know its not really your fault but I refuse to give you my money this time. Instead I'm executing plan B: converting my Steam Deck into a workstation. It's the best hardware I have and while it can't play everything smoothly what it can run well is practically endless.

I don't think is a viable strategy for building a social life. Gym attracts asocial weirdos (not an insult, I happen to be one). I would consider getting a really hobby or switching jobs. There's a lot of turnover in the food service industry, plenty of chances to meet new people. If you're an unemployed CS grad what do you have to lose? The best thing though would be finding a romantic partner and just devoting yourself to that person, instead of moving from one fleeting friendship to another.

Not many people have mentioned used books. I bought 4 books for something like $20 the other day. You can't beat that.

>I suspect some of the pro-gun-control groups have been pushing it to lawmakers given most legislation is basically copy-pastes from lobbying groups at both the state and federal level.

You would be correct.

It was condemned by New York and Vermont Republicans including the Republican governor of Vermont. Then New York Republicans voted to dissolve the organization. As for Vance's comments, he is pointing out that many of the participants were young and shouldn't have their lives ruined over this. I agree. People are capable of change, and young people are prone to saying stupid things.

>Ahh yes, the genius billionaire who doesn't understand basic English.

Do you remember everything that gets said in a multi-hour podcast? Do you even listen all the way through?

>flat earthers

I think you are living in a bubble. I suggest you go touch grass and maybe even talk with your Republican neighbors about their beliefs.

I didn't know supporting Israel is taking off a mask. It's not a dirty secret you need to hide.

Your link doesn't show that the Republican party praises Hitler. Everybody involved in that story was condemned by mainstream Republicans. The one elected official was told to step down by the Republican governor of Vermont, and he did. You can find radical voices on the left who praise Stalin or the IRGC. That doesn't mean those views are mainstream in the party.

>He shard a video of a podcaster arguing Hitler had no desire to exterminate Jews and the Holocaust deaths were logistical failures.

The episode covered a lot of material that had nothing to do with WW2 or the Holocaust and Elon never endorsed any particular claims in it. In any case, Elon took down the post and put up a community note debunking Cooper's argument after people pointed it out.

You can find the episode here: https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-darryl-cooper

>His comments in Germany about too much past guilt.

I agree with it. Why should people people feel guilty for the actions of others? It serves no purpose other than to further mass immigration. Elon Musk wants to end mass immigration into western countries which is why he supports right wing political parties in Europe and America. That doesn't make him or those political parties "nazi". You can oppose mass immigration without being a nazi.
