Idk about you guys, but I’m not interested in a Chinese car. I don’t even want Chinese tools. I have to buy all my hand tools from Germany or Japan now, since every US hand tool company manufacturers in China now.
Well that’s a leading question if I’ve ever seen one. I have nothing against the people of China. I have major issues with the government, and with the fact that they have literal slaves, working themselves to death for the benefit of immensely wealthy people that have more money than they could spend in a thousand opulent lifetimes. I have issues with child labor, and a lack of policies to protect the workers. Yes I know I own Chinese stuff. You can’t escape it anymore, but where there are alternatives, I always take them.
Finances. It costs money to run the heater, and working class families are on really regimented budgets. A difference of $30-$50 in your power bill can really mess things up when you’re living on a strict budget.
With an annual revenue of $282.8 BILLION dollars, this fine isn’t even a drop in a bucket for them. They’ll write it off and keep up with the same behavior.

Running does things like that to the mind. The first time I ran 10 miles, I started hallucinating around mile 8. I was running through the forest and the wind was gently swaying the trees back and forth. I understood for the first time that trees are the lungs of the earth, steadily breathing in the cO2 and breathing out oxygen for the rest of life on earth.
So I have been using the pinetab 2 for about 6 months or so on and off. Mostly off to be honest. My final thoughts are that I can’t really recommend this device to basically anyone. Even as a power user and someone that does software development I can say this device is a slog....

Do you play in VR or on a monitor? I was playing in VR a lot, using a HOTAS and voice attack, with the Brent Spiner voice pack, but now I’m 3 hours worth of travel from where I need to go, and I just don’t feel like doing it. It feels too much like work. I wish there was an autopilot for such situations. There certainly would be in real life.
Resources are finite, especially during war. They don’t want to poison or burn food that they need to eat. The idea is that you stop the forward march of the enemy before he gets to your food stores. If you can’t stop his advance then you have bigger problems than the enemy looting your food supplies.
