That’s revenue, their profit was closer to $4.6bn which, whilst a big number, is a margin of under 8%.

Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Home Pong, Coleco Telstar - that sort of thing. Mostly with built in games.

It’s in the last paragraph

Amazingly he didn’t spend $44,000 - he spent a total of $214,000!

FTA: According to CBS News, citing a criminal complaint and affidavit of probable cause, Lawrence Kozak allegedly spent over $214,000 on his Apple ID, with just under $44,000 of that amount charged to a credit card associated with the parish.

You don’t pay tax on growth, you do on dividends. For large shareholders a high dividend can be a problem. Even for me, a very small time retail investor, I have to keep a balance of growth (like Apple) and dividend (I tend to use a dividend ETF so I can fairly reliably estimate my dividends) so I can avoid paying tax on the dividends.

I hear this all the time and it’s very subjective - I would argue the second largest is the US Army Aviation Branch - if you count helicopters have a lot more aircraft than the US Navy.

Also the Russian Air Force has more aircraft than the US Navy per most sources. I suspect the internet meme got the Navy and Army Aviation swapped around.

I ordered a Burger King last week and it was £11.46 for a double whopper meal, around $14.48 or €13.40. It’s not a cheap meal any more.

In hopes they read this comment - the problem is your price. $100 a year is about what I pay for membership to The Guardian - a highly respected, award winning newspaper, that gives away ALL its content. Why would I pay the same for tech news that covers a fraction of all the news out there?

At $5 a year I would have signed up after reading one good article - at $10 maybe after a couple of good articles - but at $100? Never. Even if you were the only good tech news site - and you are not.

Mine arrived this morning before 9am. Tested it this afternoon and all looks good!

UK - ordered within 25 minutes of going up (spent 25 minutes TRYING to checkout), it’s due to arrive today

On that line of thinking Ireland might be a good choice - they speak English and are still in the EU.

Per the article it’s not the top rate he plans to edit but the middle 40% rate which currently starts at £50,270. It’s a little more complex because there is also National Insurance to pay which drops when you hit the 40% tax rate so effectively you go from paying 32% total below £50,270 to 42% above £50,270 (for income above that level). There is a tax free band below £12,570 as well.

I’m simplifying because tax is complicated but roughly that’s how it works. As you move up tax bands you also lose amounts of other allowances like free dividend interest. Above £100k income it gets more complex because even more allowances are removed, especially the tax free band gets reduced.

In the UK “the shopping” means food, groceries, and other essentials (although it can mean luxury items too). Giving phrases like “I’ll carry in the shopping” or “I’m going out for the shopping”.

So saying it’s expensive to be buying shopping is saying food, etc. is expensive.

Thank you for the advice! Sadly I’m playing on Switch so probably can’t use the mods - however I appreciate your insights into the value in playing without the mines, that reassures me it’s a valid strategy/play style.

The biggest factor that causes me stress in Stardew is actually the time restrictions - trying to maximise the days for example. This is a me problem obviously but it seems to be somewhat common.

I’m tempted to play again on iOS since I own it there as well and try to be extremely casual and not really care about my progress.

I struggle to see how any game with combat can be cozy either. I prefer cozy games to be ones you can stop at any second (without even pausing) and come back to them later. Unfortunately many games that otherwise count as cozy to me fail the “fell asleep playing” test so I have to accept pausing at least to have enough games to play.

In Stardew Valley and Littlewood at least you have to go looking for combat but there is content unavailable unless you participate.

No, that’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Wildenstein

I’ve cancelled this morning - I played so few of the included games that it’s probably cheaper to just buy them outright

Sorry if it sounded like I don’t agree with you - I do!
