I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.
Speaking of “paying 10% for the privilege”, one of the things irked me was my dad’s insistence that tithes had to be monetary. Per him, volunteer work didn’t count.
I was roped into running the computer, or doing the sound, for all 5 services Saturday + Sunday, plus practice before hand. 16 hour commitment twice a month.
My day job was only 20 hours/wk back then, so in terms of time, my volunteer work was ~30% of all my work. Yet my dad still insisted I payed 10% of the taxed cash I received…

My understanding of MTG rules is a bit rusty. Does “sacrifice” only apply to the player’s creatures in play? Or, could you target an opponent’s creature?
Scientists trying to take advantage of the unusual properties of the quantum realm say they have successfully simulated a method of backward time travel that allowed them to change an event after the fact one out of four times. The Cambridge University team is quick to caution that they have not built a time machine, per se, but...
The problem I’m going to assume applies here is the same as why we can’t train self-driving cars with a simulation. It’s a paradox; if the simulation was robust enough to train cars for the real world, then creation of the simulation itself WOULD be the solution since it already knows all the rules and correct reactions.
In other words, I’m sure they got their simulation to work, within the confines of a limited, non-paradoxical, error-prone programming.
I already have a Harmony M. I bought it over a decade ago; it’s my first and only pedal. I was interested to see if they revised it and gave it some modern features, but it looks like they’ve fully discontinued it. I’m not well educated on what to look for....

Do you prefer Twitch or YouTube for watching live streams?
Title. Curious if I should get a Twitch account or not as currently I only have YouTube. Not sure if I want another corpo ad machine in my life.
lemmy.world doesn't seem to have many established NSFW communities; they appear to be in separate instances. Is there any benefit to this or anything stopping lemmy.world from having NSFW communities?

My take on a lane balancer, and a 2-belt overflow balancer. These could probably be optimized, but they have proven useful (although a bit unconventional)
So first off, here’s my lane balancer. As far as I know this allows 100% throughput (just a bit big)....
