My wife’s cousin is in town. She watched our kids for two hours. Me and my wife had date night. Checked out this really cute outdoor cafe. Coffee was okay but they did a lot of work on their water feature and it shows.
My 9 year old Nephew got a small handheld emulator for his birthday. Some cheaper knock off unit.
He was excited and was showing me all the cool old NES games he could play. Most from my own childhood.
While grinning at me, my Sister told him to tell me what he had told her the best thing about it was.
My Nephew exclaimed that the very best thing about it was that it took AA batteries. So he didn’t have to wait for it to charge. He could just swap batteries.
It blew his mind when I told him everything was like that when his Mom and I were kids.
Do you mind sharing the name or a link of the object? I am looking for buying one but I just find everything so cheap made or I can’t rally understand if something is good or not
Not OP, but can recommend two similar ones, data frog SF2000 looks like a snes controller with a screen on it, it's cheap (~20-30 USD) but it gets a little laggy running GBA, and anbernic rg35xx is pricier but higher quality, and has a gameboy-ish shape (~60-70 USD) don't know about any of the other ones, but those two seem decent-ish from what I've heard. Haven't used them myself but they seem to be the most popular. Both have replaceable/upgradable batteries, but they're not AA's.
If you’re looking for a handheld emulator, I recommend the Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX. They’ll last you years longer than the cheapie ones that play NES games since they have community custom firmware. Plus they play way more: NES, SNES, Gameboys, PS1, Genesis, etc.
MSRP on these are ~$50-60. However you can get them for as low as $25-30 if you use Chinese sites like TEMU. If you’re curious I can send you more info
The past 15 years have also witnessed a decline in the amount of money Americans must set aside to service their debt. The household debt servicing ratio has fallen steadily from 13.2% of disposable income in 2007 to 9.6% at the end of the first quarter of 2023. While falling interest rates have been important to that outcome, they only account for part of the decline in debt-servicing costs. To wit, as the Fed raised rates by five percentage points over the past 18 months, household debt-servicing costs only rose by 1.5 percentage points of disposable income. That is considerably less than would have been the case if the total stock of debt were at pre-2008 levels and if the fraction of adjustable-rate borrowings had not fallen sharply oversince.
In a clash of opposing forces, the U.S. housing market finds itself embroiled in a fierce battle. On one side, deteriorated affordability resulting from a spike in mortgage rates from 3% to over 6% in 2022, just after national home prices surged by more than 40% during the Pandemic Housing Boom, is exerting downward pressure on home prices. On the other side, the scarcity of existing inventory, exacerbated by the “lock-in effect,” as many homeowners are reluctant to sell and buy anew, fearing the tradeoff from a 2% or 3% mortgage rate to one in the 6% to 7% range, is exerting upward pressure on home prices.
I feel like there’s also a “locked out” effect… As in I’m locked out of the housing market entirely now. It’s insanely frustrating as I was just working on a promotion that would leave me comfortably affording the cheaper houses, then covid screwed everything… Now I’d be paycheck to paycheck in a dilapidated shithole in the worst parts of the worst towns around and the way housing seems to work, it’s just infinite growth forever so it’s never going back down…
This is a setup they want him to get off. How the fuck does this happen? She will flat out dimiss the case or if found guilty give him a 50k fine. She should be impeached.
I know all of this is new and we’ve never had the need to prosecute a former president before, but you’d think at least one of the existing laws would prevent him from being in front of a judge he personally appointed as it’s a glaringly obvious conflict of interest. But here we are. I think someone needs to introduce a bill that explicitly prevents any elected official from appearing in front of a judge that they appointed.
From memory of a video saw on the topic, in the district where it was lodged there is only a list of 7 judges to pick from in florida. But it gets narrowed down to two for various reasons (security clearance?), and it turns out the other judge is busy or on holidays.
Edit: this legal Eagle video covers a bit of the selection https://youtu.be/_S8R2Nri5pU. TL;DW: “random” from list of 7 judges but cannon has one of the highest chances of getting the case.
Raises for lower-income workers were particularly strong in early 2023. Restaurants, hotels and similar businesses hired at a brisk pace to cater to customers eager for services that were limited initially in the Covid-19 pandemic. While leisure and hospitality employment gains have slowed in recent months, workers in the industry saw their hourly pay rise faster than overall wage growth and inflation.
Wages for manufacturing and business-services workers are also outpacing inflation. Pay gains have been narrower in the tech-heavy information sector, where several large companies have cut staff.
That’s fair. I can’t help myself. The host also does The Daily Beans News with Swearing. She does an a great job of informing. They also get spicy on Jack too. Humours and irreverent but in a good way.
