I agree this seems wrong. Could be referring to the historical bases like Pepperrell, Argentia, Goose Bay etc. but they were closed by the 1960s. NORAD bases do have US personnel on them, so do some Navy bases but by that count it would be far more than 3.

Cello TVs are god awful unfortunately. We used them at work and we had something like 7 returns on 6 TVs. Hopefully their carbonator is better!

I pay the server admins for feddit.uk (the instance this community is hosted on) to help with hosting costs because I think they provide a valuable service. Currently I am not paying towards Lemmy (I do pay towards Mastodon development however) but I may start doing that in the future.

My £5 a month to Feddit.uk and £1 a month to Mastodon isn’t much but it’s orders of magnitude more than Reddit and Twitter would have earned from my (adblock using) eyeballs before so hopefully a few of us paying a few pounds/euros/dollars directly is enough to support the services.

Edit (approx. one month later): I am now supporting Lemmy development directly, ~$5 a month which I hope makes it sustainable if enough people contribute.

That would depend whether you took a day off sick or just… a day off. If it’s a day off then you can spend it however you like, but I agree it can cause awkward questions if you are off sick but are seen.

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

Yep https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-microSD-MicroSDXC-MB-MD1T0SA-AM/dp/B0CWPNS8JY $99.99 it shows for me - not sure how taxes work on this (I’m not American) but that probably counts.

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

It’s in the last paragraph
