Can someone explain why half of the comments don’t make sense? Was the OP edited? Bot flux capacitors crossed streams?

This was going to be my choice until I realized they wanted some caffeine.

Just don’t. There’s not too much of a benefit but adding to the grocery budget. 1-2 Monster a day habits add up quick.

For lower amounts of caffeine I was going to suggest a tea of some kind - but if it we’d like for it to carbonated then maybe Kombucha?

I don’t know - but would think what you intended to do with it might factor in.

Are you planning on playing games? What kinds?

Compiling code?

Just using cloud apps in browser?

Unfortunately the deliveries to the various pickup boxes is critical. I’ve tried looking into general delivery to a post office or to look at specific (eg Home Depot) pickup options with no success.

As a primary internet source I could not recommend Visible. The de-prioritization was very noticeable and the coverage wasn’t great. (Even Verizon is piggybacking on some carriers in some areas - and in those areas Visible isn’t supported.)

I kept it around for a while for large file downloads - it was slow but I didn’t have to worry about data caps. Eventually I dropped it when I got a Starlink.

A quick glance says Stardew valley supports multiple languages – but honestly not sure as I’m usually around a PC.

Duolingo was mentioned.

But one of the good things about AAA games is that they’re often voiced and captioned in multiple languages.

So, after picking up some basics – give a new player + playthrough of something you’re already familiar with in a new language.

Historically - desktops.

However - for the past ~3 years I’ve been on a laptop.

  • Less power draw - if I need to run on solar.
  • Data caps - run to a library if some game needs a 100gb update - this has partially been alleviated with Starlink.
  • Work trips - ~2 hours of gaming on the hotel bed is needed after a day of meetings.
