    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Been playing Mario Wonder with my kids. Great game (and much more forgiving multiplay than NSMB). Very successfully treads the thin line between insanely trippy and imaginative fun.

    You can just use appropriate screws and attach it to whatever backing material you want. You could probably even use construction adhesive for the bracket if you can't make any holes.

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind a bad year to do this in. My dad did this in the interim between retiring from his corporate jobs and opening a consultancy. Made bank in tax savings. Sadly, things are going well for me and my wife. #firstworldproblems

    Note that the tax implications get muddy if you have existing, funded, traditional IRAs. Also, you may be exposed to future penalties if the IRS decides this is not legitimate and doesn't grandfather previous users. https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/backdoor-roth-is-it-right-you

    Other than your desk looking like a spaceship cockpit, is there a real benefit to having an ultrawide vs two standard monitors? A lot of the time I have screen space dedicated to separate tasks, like having a game in one monitor and work/email on the other. Am I wrong that this wouldn't work...

    Yeah, the appeal he built isn't an instructional or even a personality channel, but as a sort of zen atmosphere of watching a skilled guy do what he wants efficiently. I like his previous stuff but this doesn't attract me.

    That is vs dollars. He's reading the chart backwards. (For the confused, high yen per dollar is bad if you have yen. It's great for us if we're buying Japanese goods with dollars.)

    You run the drone scanning/surveying business too, right? You should use the drones to make 3d scans of popular sections of famous climbing routes and then figure out how to re-create them for climbing gyms. I bet that'd make a mint.
