Ive wanted to get into PC gaming for awhile but I just don't have the room or the care to set something up its why I use consoles. Every time I mention this ill get a billion messages about ways to make it work. I'm a simple person I want to plug it in and turn it on which is why I use consoles. I dont play enough games to justify a full set up. I plan to plug my PS5 controller into this (I think its able?) And enjoy.

    Christmas stuff shows up in August where im at. You'll have a few aisles of Halloween and a couple Christmas. Its been this way since about 2015 or atleast thats when I noticed it as I was working retail at that time. Lots of people give me shit for not celebrating Christmas until mid December. Its not really magical if we're just gonna celebrate it half the year.

    9/11. I was in school and my teacher wheeled the TV cart in. She was an absolute wreck doing so because her husband left that morning for an interview in tower 1. Due to the phone traffic being so busy she couldnt reach him. Luckily he was running late because of traffic and had to drive far enough away before he could call her.

    America is pretty unique in size. If you're used to shorter trips even overestimating wouldn't be half the drive through america. Especially Europeans as a long drive is anything over 20m when its measured in hours they're considering booking accommodations for sleep and such. The perception of time is incredibly different.

    Sitting quietly in a room for hours at a time literally doing nothing. I once got curious and just sat in my living room for around 10h straight because I wanted to see what my living room and neighborhood was like at night. Im talking no phone, TV, or anything else just me sitting alone staring off chilling.

    Fun fact: I average 3 cars an hour over night in my neighborhood and we aren't really a busy neighborhood off a couple side streets too. Some of the cars leave then come back a few minutes later. Probably drug dealers or something.

    Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

    You're running off the assumption that the survivors know useful information and that theyre also able to utilize that useful information plus be able to source needed materials since they wont have travel

    Example: I know I need an antibiotic for my infection but I dont know how to create that antibiotic or how to guide someone on how to make it. If I did know id also have to get lucky that the region I live in has all the materials needed to make it. We source all around the world for our stuff.

    Likely humanity will survive but probably wont advance as fast as you think.

    I personally really like self checkout. Even with a full cart im in and out significantly faster than most everyone else. I dont get how people get tripped up at them but my god Is it so many. I would like to have the option to remove something I accidentally scanned without needing someone though. We finally got passed the bag scale issues this is the next hurdle!

    As a side note I only do self check with a full cart because im a late night shopper I would never in a million years do it during busy hours.
