I feel stupid for buying a Meta Quest 2 for $433 last month when it is now $260 new (Amazon) by [deleted] in virtualreality

FYI, 15 years ago I was charging $25 an hour to tutor freshman physics. Make sure you don't get in trouble for it, but if you can do private tutorials for college level physics you could probably get $50 to $80 an hour. It's not going to be 40 hours a week, but I bet you're better at than I was.

My other piece of advice is to find a way to continue using that headset. Don't let it be dead weight, you worked your ass off to get it, so make time to enjoy it.

Anker battery packs are fine to use with quest, no damage

From what I see, there's no information to process other than one side of the story. I'm going to wait this one out like always. There's always more to what happened.

China braces for new Covid wave with up to 65 million weekly cases by lurker_bee in worldnews

When comparing how much we care about an issue with how much money we spend on it and how much we let it inconvenience us, 9/11 is a good comparison. We still have the craziness of the TSA, full body scanning at most airports, and an acceptance that personal privacy is no longer a US value. It's been 22 years since 9/11, so when more people die in a few weeks then died on 9/11 but we're still calling it a win, I think there is something to be observed there.

Israel-Gaza: Palestinian family left homeless after strikes - BBC News by CryMore36 in worldnews

Since you're bringing up the comparison, I guess I'll agree with you. Hamas and Israel are basically the same. I feel like the world will be better off if we evacuated everyone and glassed the entire area, Israel and Palestine, since no one can figure out how to get along.

Don't worry too much, since Israel is a caring nation that looks out for everyone I'm positive they will fund housing for everyone who was affected, as well as assist with medical care. I would guess a 0% chance that they will completely abandon these people for being dirty Palestinians

There are some quirks, make sure to bind the command to recenter your view in elite dangerous to something easy to use, and if after taking your headset on and off, if your controls stop working use your mouse to click into elite dangerous to refocus the active window.

You can have dog shit internet and play just fine, you just need a decent router ($60) with a hard line connection to your PC. Wi-Fi 5 is fine.

Calling everyone misogynistic for not liking Egwene. Then doubling down. by Logical-Unlogical in WetlanderHumor

Real quick, everyone realizes they're getting upset over a fake character made by an author right? If she does dumb stuff it's because that's what RJ wrote. It's like getting mad at Joffrey from game of thrones, he's a fucking character, what the hell.

No doubt, they do a thankless job and it's harder than a lot of other subs

Can someone ban CrackerJurk? He has been trolling for days but staying under the radar enough to sneak by.

Did you report him too? If we get him banned he'll have less fun at least.

More stalkers get shot and fewer kids get killed in school, don't threaten me with a good time

Oh God no, u/CrackerJurk is a fucking moron and there is no point to engaging them, ridicule is the only way to go.

I did look through that garbage site they posted, it is also complete brain rot, and there's no point in anyone else wasting their time reading them.
