Same, I just ignore the main selections and go to the apps directly. Sideload Kodi for my own collection off my NAS and I am good to go. My Soni has Android TV which is just tolerable enough so I leave it there but all other tv's have been turned "dumb" and use Firetv devices.

Right, headline is misleading and clickbait, this is already old news.

How much space ice have we collected and examines in space itself? Not much at all. We've sent a probe to a comet, have probes looking at potential ice on mars, everything else is satellites scanning or telescopes. Those look at chemical structure, not crystalline structure.

That said, water RELEASES heat when turning to ice, you know, phase change - http://www.atmo.arizona.edu/students/courselinks/fall16/atmo336s2/lectures/sec1/water.html it releases 80 cal/g to freeze, why is the article (or rather whoever put up the quote at the top) saying it needs to absorb thermal energy to freeze? This is why when you have a freak frost, you water plants and roses, as water freezes it releases energy which insulates plants and protects them from damage. That quote at the top about thermal energy sounds reversed and is not in the linked article, and I have not read the complete article since its behind a paywall, but someone needs to call BS on that statement or clarify it.

Crab legs, lots of seafood, some already too expensive today, near impossible to find in 7 years. Many meet and vegetable products (I'm looking at you banana) will be harder to come by, and eventually we lose coffee.

Raspberry Pi's, or cheap PC's unless they are linux, Windows 11+ will require more expensive hardware, and with element shortages these will get more expensive.

Owning property, we'll be in a lease situation moving forward, ownership will be corporate controlled as will the government.

Retirement, if savings and stock returns collapse so will 401k funds and the taxes required to maintain social security will likewise be unsustainable, that will eventually be transferred into a cash balance fund to pay back existing investors and future contributions will cease. Just need one republican controlled government that is willing to bypass the filibuster and SS is dead.

Vacations, or at least choice. There will come a time where everything will require a time share, be it cruises or travel. Airfare will be too expensive for most eventually, and car use will get taxed per mile someday. This assumes you are permitted to get time off.

Home insurance, specifically in coastal areas. Florida will lead by example, eventually you will have to keep a cash balance on a house for damages to cover a mortgage, and eventually that will get replaced by a lease (see above)

Medical treatment - one day insurance will be given back the freedom to reject pre-existing conditions, sentencing thousands of poor with expensive conditions to suffer and die, but reducing premiums by pennies for healthy people, so we get that.

Children - or not children, costs to reproduce will be too much, specifically with lower fertility and more expensive fertility treatment, and the opposite, cost to get abortions or birth control will go up and be attacked by people who can never get pregnant.

Happy New Year everyone!

Actually honesty, done kindly, is the better support. We do not live in a world where you get awards for participation, if someone wants your opinion on something, give them an honest opinion. If they just want praise, then you become part of the problem.
