Anyway, this is not practically readable and takes much longer to compose.

(I spent way too long trying to read this, and ended up cheating on the last word.)

I mean, what if the better quality sleep was causing those effects? That does seem unfortunate you had to stop using something making you feel better. I wonder if there was a different, more dangerous side effect they were worried about.

This feels like you should still be able to require them to replace or fix it. It would be like them coming into your home, accidentally stepping on it and then saying, “oops, too bad it’s out of warranty.” It’s too bad that small claims is probably more expensive than just paying to replace it.

I love a bit of lemon glaze on my french toast.

Yeah, I almost added “and they most certainly do not” to the end of that sentence, but I was trying to underestimate a little as well.

The numbers aren’t too difficult to verify.

I found this Canadian government web page that says it’s roughly 8.9 kWh, so that checks out.

Looking at the fuel efficiency table on that same website, it looks like OP used a reasonable average fuel efficiency of 30 mpg or slightly under 8L/100km: 4 miles / 30mpg = 0.13 gallons, or 0.492 liters, so their claim of half a liter of gas also checks out.

The cheapest commercial energy appears to be in North Dakota at $0.0741/kWh, so using $0.05/kWh was very generous.

The average Netflix user watches about 2 hours per day, or 60 hours per month.

Just in an attempt to be a bit more accurate, let’s assume the individual user’s television and internet router use about 900W, so we’ll use a final number of 8kW for Netflix’s power use per user.

8 kW * 60 hours= 480 kWh

And the cost of all of those kWh at $0.05: 480 kWh * $0.05 = $24.00

Or, the cost in the least expensive state in the US: 470 kWh * $0.0741 = $35.57

National average is $0.14/kWh, so unless Netflix was serving everyone out of North Dakota and Texas, their average cost per user would be much closer to $70 per user.

OP’s numbers were definitely already accurate enough for the point. Basically, there’s no possible way Netflix needs that much electricity to serve their users.

I’m a huge fan of the checkered background letting me know I’m possibly looking at a transparent image.

Heroic Games Launcher works on Steam Deck, and syncs your achievements and cloud saves to GoG. The biggest downside to GoG is it requires you to use the Windows/Proton versions of your games for cloud sync to work.

It doesn’t mention you can take stuff with you. You might end up in Tirana Terminator-style.

In Arizona, simply concealing merchandise is still considered shoplifting:
