What bugs me most isn't the low balling from countries with lower cost of living. Well, not directly. It's the maximizing of profit at the expense of talent. If you make 2000$US a month with 4h of filming, but hire someone at 200$/mo to work 100h to get all your content sorted, edited, graded, with b-roll, mogr, and sound, then that's just exploitative.
Just this week I saw a "editor wanted" post requiring 3-4 shorts plus one long form (60-90m) video a week. No b-roll, mogr, music or SE provided. The offer was 200-300$ per month.

Plus...
- It's necessary for chicken/cow/sheep breeding.
- Bread has the highest food value for villagers
- It stores really well in bales
To OP, stagger your wheat. I use 9x9 farms, and will alternate rows of wheat and some other crop. There's some mechanic that speeds up yield if you do that.

What the what?

I am actually offended by this

Pair it with a Snickers and a red bull and there's a 60% chance of achieving time travel

Holy flashbacks Batman.
My first forever world was huge, with thousands of hours. Then on the 1.7 update it reset some chunks and gouged huge holes in my main base, including 2/3 of my storage system. I didn't have a backup.
Every few years I'll think back to it, wondering is it's somehow salvageable. I'll open it, get depressed almost immediately, and close it again.

Best way to look at it is "how much am I making per hour? That includes everything, including: just watching the raw, looking for b-roll, organizing, even staring at your screen, wondering "how am I going to make this work?" Those are all billable hours.
Even as a novice, you should be making (in the US at least) a minimum of 10$ per hour.

Minimum.

I wouldn't even download their roll for $20.

"Buy now before they're sold out!" is always a red flag. Doubly so if there's a timer.

And it only goes downhill from there

Humans are pattern seeking machines, and cosmology almost requires you to ditch all preconceptions.

Same here. I got it gifted by a friend of mine, and went in completely unaware. I enjoyed it, then immediately started the second playthrough...
It changes you.

What blew my mind when I went down that rabbit hole is not only is there no "before," but right at the Planck time, "everything" was contained in zero space.

Think of all the women you know. Statistically 20% of them have been the victim of SA or attempted SA.

And just like any 3-way, it's pretty apparent from the start who's the bottom.

with the microphone on (I'm an idiot). Even after I turned off the mic, I couldn't get past an hour or two.
For uneasiness, Doki Doki Literature Club.
EDIT: Doki.

I was pretty sure that's how I found it last time, but I checked my last couple of bottles and it's not on there.

This becomes more and more true as technology use increases, and for a weird reason.
Trigger warning: physics
We're bombarded with billions of neutrinos every second, particles so small that they harmlessly pass between the atoms of solid matter. But every so often, one will hit an atom. Normally that wouldn't affect anything (electrons are about 6x105 times more massive). But once in a while, that neutrino will hit an atom in a transistor, and can flip a single bit between 0 and 1. Anything that has transistors, like memory, storage, processors, etc is susceptible. Now again, normally this isn't a problem. But every trillion times this happens, it might flip a bit that screws the pooch and causes the device to crash.
It's called an SEU (single event upset), and the only real way to fix it is to restart the device. What's funny about this is there's not a damn thing anyone can do to prevent it

Luckily he has no spine. He's very floppy.

Reminds me of one of my favorite archaeological facts, about the development of the hand axe. Manufactured stone hand axes were dated to around 1.5 million years ago. (Hand axes have been found dated upwards of 3+ million years, but those were likely naturally formed wedges.)
These were used everywhere for well over a million years, until some neanderthal about 30,000 years ago tied it to a stick.
Game changer.

My choice here. It's the modern equivalent of having your friend play oddjob in GoldenEye.
Fair enough. But beets are useless. The only reason I grow them is for one farmer with that trade.
