  • Personally, I think we (as a species) give far more reverence to the dead than they warrant, but I completely accept that this is a sensitive topic for some people and that I’m an extreme outlier here. I see no problem with grave re-use, mass cremations or burials, or really any other disposal method; as far as I’m concerned the only factor that really needs to be taken into account is sanitation. If someone was important enough to warrant a permanent monument, build one, but the insistence that that monument exist over the physical place where their remains once existed feels pointless to me.

    Cremation is certainly preferable to graveyards, though. That’s always just felt like an immense waste of space, to me.





  • If it’s only displays being shared and not keyboards / mice / etc., there’s HDMI switchers that operate on a many-to-many basis (where you can have multiple inputs, multiple outputs, and route them as you please). You press the button for the output, then press the button for the input you want to route there, and they all work independently. Those definitely work with consoles. This isn’t exactly what OP is looking for, as the ones I’ve used don’t let you save ‘scenes’ like they’re describing, but they do let you switch displays around easily. Some of them are sketchy with PCs; whether OP wants one that lets the PCs think all of the monitors are always plugged in, or one that makes them think the monitors have been disconnected is kind of up to personal preference but that’s a consideration.





  • No wonder why they have a higher rate of obesity

    To be fair, this isn’t just about portion sizes, it’s about what’s in those portions. We have a ton of heavily processed, wildly unhealthy food options, and they’re all the budget friendly ones. Getting things like fresh fruits and vegetables is much more expensive than it should be, so we have this weird situation where it’s possible for someone to be both food insecure and also overweight, just because the food they do get is so unhealthy and fattening.
