there's room on the internet for multiple sites, finishing it is nice

next level operation:

put your enemies' address as sender (not legal advice)

what do you refer to?

Interestingly this taught me I never look at usernames, thanks for pointing out

I think point 2 could be an advantage, not a downside. If no-one you speak to mentions the broken window, maybe it's not a big issue. This assumes you speak to a mix of old and new users

Most people don't report issues (apathy & bystander effect) therefore I put more value on those who take the time to do so.

It's important to make the distinction between:

- Twitch is losing money because the costs of running the platform are higher then the revenue

- Twitch is losing money because they're aggressively investing in growth

if you want to know about the viability of the concept, I'm not sure which one it is, video streaming and small payment processing could both be quite costly

There aren't many commercial games either like Return of the Obra Dinn

Agreed. Obra Dinn is a weird example here as there's nothing else like it.

This assumes you have the space

I prefer public gyms by far but you can build a very capable home gym that fits under half a bed. Forget squats, deadlifts and bench presses and bring in unilateral variations at higher rep counts and you won't need much more than a handle and a pair of 45's for years.

I just measured the footprint of my home gym (only weights, a small bench and a pullup rack) and it's like 2 (two!) square meters. Take another 2 square meters for exercising and lifting, and I'm good to go.

Caveat, I parked my bench inside my pullup rack (don't have to move it before training though).

How do you you do this in practice?

You just gave me a sad idea where there are people who exist to adulthood who have never burned paper or seen it burn first-hand. Like city children who have never seen animals, or lakes or seas or oceans, or never seen the stars, deprived of some deeply human experiences. (I grew up with a log fireplace at home, but I also played with friends using a magnifying glass to concentrate sunlight and ignite paper out on the street).

Do you mean "how does one burn a piece of paper" literally? Or, how does that person arrange their life to have a fire regularly?

Done that, never again. I thought it would be cool to burn my paper print of some key material. Opened the door, put a lighter to the paper on the landing just a step from the door.

The paper did not burn cleanly as I imagined, and I had soon rather large pieces of burned paper flying inside my apartment. Not burning, luckily, but brittle and becoming ash wherever I tried to catch them or pick them up.

Learned my lesson: Put paper into a fireproof container, then burn it.

of course, s/he means how to burn a piece of paper without setting the apartment on fire or set off an alarm. it's really funny that your first thought was that they doesn't know how to burn something technically and connect that to children who think a chicken has four legs or cacao milk is produced by brown cows. had me chuckle.

Step 1. Take batteries out of fire alarm.

Step 2. Find two fire-resistant vessels like sink, bathtub, metal bowl, frying pan, sauce pan, etc.

Step 3. Fill first vessel with water, second vessel with the paper.

Step 4. Light paper on fire.

Step 4.1 If fire spreads dump water on fire.

Done

My gut reaction was the same, but then I realized that in order to burn anything more substantial than a match on a regular basis I’d have to go to the outdoor grills or something. There’s no way to do it in my apartment without setting off a fire alarm.

Will candles set off the fire alarm where you live too?

I'll wager that burning one sheet of paper at a time would be on par with a continuously burning candle.

Well-ventilated area, non-flammable container, lighter/matches. Liquor, cigarette, thousand-yard stare optional.

Just write on a sheet of paper, then fold it, put on a ceramic dish plate and burn it with lighter. Make sure you keep a window open and far from anything flammable. Better if you have a fireplace.
