A wonderfully succinct explanation of why I decided - whilst still at university - that academia was not the path for me...
Why? A material change was made to the item after the point of import. This would be like taxing a timber importer as though they were importing furniture.
I think you meant 100 billion (actually, about 2/3 of that all in), but your point still stands that the project has been neither smooth nor cheap...
Carmageddon is a game that I loved at the time, and am very hesitant to revisit... I suspect it hasn't aged well!
I wouldn't consider this particularly lightweight - it's a bit of a battery monster, even with the moving background turned off
Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!
"Critically panned" means to receive a poor critical response. I tried looking for the etymology, but couldn't find anything convincing... It seems to have started as something to do with panning for gold (i.e. using a literal pan to sift through dirt looking for gold flakes), but I can't see where that shifted from "looking for small bits of good in mostly dirt" to "this straight up sucks".
I use FedEx for work, and our account has heavily discounted rates for Priority services - not for Economy. That's what I assumed was happening here, until I saw that you were dealing with them as John Q Public.
My partner and I have a joint account that is used to pay for any shared expenditure (boring stuff like housing and groceries, as well as fun stuff like dinners out together and holidays). This account is funded unevenly, and that split is reviewed any time either of our incomes change - but it's always funded to the point that it covers our joint expenses each month. If required, it is topped up at the same split. Anything we are left with personally can be spent or saved at the individuals absolute discretion.
Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty
We'll stay together through thick or thin
Most trips are organised around arbitrary goals, why not beer? People want to try pizza in Italy, or see the northern lights, or swim with dolphins - all geologically locked, ultimately frivolous goals. But if it brings you joy and you can afford it, why not?
