Point of sale companies like Clover charge a fee and the credit card company gets a cut of that. The rest is for the point of sale's services.
There's a remake out right now called Predecessor that I've been enjoying, free on PC/PS/Xbox.
Yes, it works for me
How is this possible? One word — efficiency. Our electric appliances have gotten so much more efficient.
The magic of efficiency could and hopefully will continue this 20-year miracle of keeping electricity consumption flat even while we add lots of new loads, as there is so much more low hanging fruit to be picked. LEDs still need to finish their market domination, and heat pumps are only just getting started and will save oodles of energy for space and water heating and even clothes drying. Building codes are continuously improving, as are appliance standards, meaning our homes and buildings and everything that uses energy in them, are constantly becoming more efficient (with no compromise in performance).
This all adds up. With the 1% that electricity production declined in 2023, we could have added something like another 10 million EVs to the grid last year and our overall electricity use would still have remained the same.
A big part of reducing motion sickness for me was to ensure that the lenses were set to the appropriate pupillary distance. If they're too wide or to narrow, that can affect your body's ability to handle VR

Setting up the entire movie's pacing and story around the legal aftermath & Strauss is what made it disappointing for me. It took too much away from the real-world implications of a nuclear weapon, an arms race, and the devastation it caused.
Overall, cutting out Strauss would have shaved ~30min at least and made the movie into a more cohesive & refined viewing experience.
Even his campaign thinks so. It was so bad they pulled him offstage before the final question about Project 2025 could be asked.
