You know what?

There's a used Xbox one X for sale locally and I'm curious if y'all think it would be worth it in 2023?

I currently play Game Pass games on my very capable PC and on my tablet, and I don't own any physical Xbox games. I'm wanting a device that will let me play on my TV in a room that isn't close to my PC. Although, I eventually plan on running an HDMI over Cat6 cable to connect my PC to the TV.

I tried using the web browser on my tv for game pass, but the lag was terrible.

So now I'm considering buying this cheap Xbox one X to help me solve this problem.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The content algorithms are terrible. I've been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when "all comments" is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

It's like the purest form of manufacturing consent.

I'm not so sure you should be giving advice about when it's acceptable to be in public.

Decide what you're gonna do before you do it.

When I was like 8, a liftee at my local ski hill told me that as I dangled from the chairlift about 5 feet off the ground because I waffled getting on the lift.

I'm enjoying being able to watch that ship sink from far away.

I'm back on the web portal. Both Liftoff and Jerboa keep saying I'm not signed in, so I can't make posts or comments.

On similarweb the traffic stats only show June's stats. I'm curious if there is a more real time analyzer that can be viewed?

Anything that looks like it just pulled off the battlefield. Like G Wagons and Hummers.

I'm getting better at it though.

Yeah, and there are apps. I don't have to drag out my laptop.

In our backyard, we don't have to worry about it because our backyard is fenced, and the dogs keep a tight perimeter. However, out front I've recently been spooking cats hiding in the bushes beneath our bird feeders.

I hate putting my dog on a long lead(she gets tangled), but I'm thinking that putting her on a lead out front occasionally could help train the cats to avoid the area. Otherwise, I'm considering trapping them and dropping them off at animal control. Id rather not do this because our city's animal control is overwhelmed with stray cats and dogs, and I don't want to add to their workload.

So if anyone has an effective way they like to deter or harass cats and it's ethical, please let me know!

Thanks.
