Same here. Cannot stand pasta salad. Ironically I love cold macaroni and cheese though so I don't know exactly what way my brain is short-circuited.

Green bean casserole absolutely. I have never had a good version of it. Your version sounds better but I'd say it's a flawed concept.
My most hated was white beans and ham with cornbread. It ruined both the ham and beans and smelled like hot dog water. I ended up just eating cornbread and pushing the beans and ham around until I could be excused.
Also creamed spinach. It looked and smelled like I had already puked it up.
Nonetheless, the Core i9-14900KS should peak around 320W like the Core i9-14900K, if not higher.
Best to look out for the bundle deal with the Mr. Fusion and the dry ice machine.
Comcast is currently working on that right now only it pees for you so you can stay and watch the commercials.
I think that's the biggest thing standing in the way personally. There are 6 or 7 Spotify-like services and 10 or 11 Netflix-like services. Some people might lump YouTube in with Netflix but it really isn't since all the content on YouTube is user generated. There's nobody else doing the same thing YouTube is doing at that scale. The closest is Facebook and TikTok but the way they deliver ads seems to be a lot different as well.
I have a 500gb SSD that I paid the same amount for as a 2tb SSD costs now. Ram and SSD prices are super good right now. I'd say 32gb ram and 2tb SSD is definitely worth it for the price of the whole system.
Looks good to me. The only thing you might consider is getting a 2tb drive instead. You can find some for the same price as the 1 tb Samsung. Not just no-name brands either. A 1tb drive fills up with games in no time.

Yeah I know. It's definitely a me problem. I'm sure one day I'll come around.
It's been a long time after all...maybe my time is finally here.
I tend to agree. Especially with midroll ads. And I also see YouTube Red/Premium/Plus as too expensive especially compared to free.
I wonder if it cost $1-$3 per month instead of $14 if they wouldn't get so many more subscribers that they would still end up making more money.
Of course they would still be incentivized to slowly raise prices over time but I could be talked into $2 a lot quicker than $15.
I guess it's harder to do this after 13 years of default "free" content. It's easier for someone like Spotify to do that because there has always been the option to pay for premium.
I remember in the earlier days of Spotify there were a lot of ways to get half priced service just by finding xyz code or paying $5 for a code on eBay that got you a year of half priced Spotify. I don't know where those came from or how those existed but it was definitely what finally convinced me to subscribe.
(I've since cancelled in favor of buying CDs again but I realize I'm the oddball in that scenario)
I agree. They do operate in bad faith. And not only do they throw ads into every possible crevice but the advertisers themselves may be bad faith actors. It's easy for a local radio station to decide not to run ads for a shady local business but YouTube doesn't really seem to have anything in place to vet advertisers or a robust system to report ads for malfeasance.
I'm interested in the framing of advertising as a threat rather than just an annoyance. I think even ads for something like laundry soap being spammed over and over for hours on end can be harmful even without being directly malicious. As someone who has been blocking ads for 10 years, every time I am on someone else's device the amount of garbage that just gets thrown into your face by default is just atrocious.
The main guy on this episode seems like a 1980s wrestler. Especially with the shiny outfit.
