Well no. The issue with Animal Crossing is that it tries to pace people by throttling them to real time unless you are willing to employ a workaround such as changing the time on your Switch, for example. I have never bought bells and never will, but the game definitely has a virtual treadmill that is rather bothersome at times.

I almost died in April 2017 of septic shock. During that time, medical staff assumed I was unconscious and unable to recollect a single thing. I had 4 surgeries and I was on a ventilator for many days and I was on enough drugs to kill an elephant. I remembered everything. Including some VERY personal conversations from certain staff members. It was all so vivid. I can't discuss most of it thanks to an ongoing malpractice suit against the hospital that caused the issue to begin with...however. Never assume your loved one doesn't hear you. They do. They hear you. They also hear the medical staff talking about their so called 'day' as they turn you, change various 'things', etc.'

amd needs to have a server system for the users that don't need the full EPYC but still want to have server class hardware. They systems in the $1000-$1200 range (the server case + PSU can be $100-$300 of that price) Or just towers at $800-$1000 with an server board (IPMI) and maybe have the X16 (CPU) slot cut into X8 X8 + X4 or even X4 X4 X4 X4 X4. So storage (HBA / Raid card / pci-e) and networking (10G). And be better then the intel ones at the same class that only have X16 + DMI on the cpu that have less cores.

Except EPYC CPUs have fairly similar pricing, so why not just go with EPYC?

They haven't even figured out how to implement proper support on mobile devices and they are raising the price? Hah! On Android, their only real 'supported' method is using Android accessibility services that drastically slow down the device and reduce battery life (it's meant for REAL accessibility needs like blindness, etc.). If you try to avoid that option your only other options are a glitchy Android 2.3 era keyboard or their internal browser. Thanks, but no thanks. The password manager built into Chrome or the Samsung browser may be far more limited, but it works better than lastpass...don't get me started on the fact that Google is rumored to be toying with a universal password manager for Android internally. (I don't mention Apple here because outside of a Macbook Pro and Mac Mini I use for dev work, I don't use anything Apple creates at all, so I have no idea if the situation is better/worse over there).

Your problem is yourself. You hate change. Microsoft changed stuff, so you installed a bunch of 3rd party tools to revert back. There is nothing wrong with the Windows 10 UI. I personally find it to be an improvement over Windows 7, and definitely another leap beyond and Linux desktop distro (I still have yet to find a distro that will detect compatible resolutions of any monitor hooked up and let you switch between them without some archaic command line and/or config file change...come on guys, it's been more than 20 years! Even Windows 3.x got this one!)

"but overall most folks who are purchasing lumber at home improvement stores know that the so-called trade sizes don't match the actual dimensions of the lumber." I'm a self admitted DIYer, but I've purchased lumber from Home Depot and I've been with a pro to purchase lumber before. Both times the exact dimensions were ordered and received. If the pro I was with suddenly received less than what he requested, he probably would have filed a suit himself.
