Please explain what you would be doing and how it is dramatically different from other animals? You have no social groups larger then extended family and no free time to dedicate to anything other then substance gathering.
Both of these are incorrect. There's plenty of evidence of trade between disparate groups and plenty of evidence of art, craft, etc. that indicate our pre-agricultural ancestors had free time and contact with other groups.
Don't forget we also use our knowledge of science and psychology to capture and destroy the attention spans of the our children for the "short term" enrichment of elite shareholders. I say short term because I think the whole country is soon to face very real issues as a result.
That's very different then shuting down the economy and locking people in their houses. I am not saying I think the response was unreasonable (at least initially) but many people cleary did.
This I think was one of the main reasons for the ps2 success. DVD players at the time costed hundreds of dollars and were often not that good. The ps2 as one of if not the best and with backwards compatibility so you had access to the huge ps1 library.
I managed an EB Games during the Dreamcast and ps2 launches. You can’t overstate the value proposition of the ps2 as a dvd player. It made the ps2’s extra $100 over the Dreamcast completely tenable.
The second biggest reason for the success of the ps2 over the Dreamcast was that EA Sports never came to Dreamcast. Sega made the 2k series to compensate and it was definitely a good try, with some 2k titles definitely better in gameplay to their EA Sports competitor. But none of the 2k series ever sold anywhere near EA Sports.
Framework 16+gpu had for almost one year. Pre-ordered and I think I have a "batch 3" or "batch 4" decice can't really remember.I agree with everyone the fit and finish is not as nice as other laptops of the same price range but I very much care about the repair ability and open eco system so I am willing to pay a bit extra. I love being able to swap out ports but honestly I think it adds some extra failure points. I was receiving random usb disconnection/reconnection sounds and eventually one expansion port on the motherboard stopped working. Haven't had the chance to call framework yet to get it fixed but I am sure they will.
Herculaneum is smaller and less known, but only half an hour away and even better preserved. With proper planning you can visit both sites on the same day.
The first time I visited a tour guide screamed at some teenagers doing TikTok dances in the middle of the road and the second time I saw a tour guide scold a woman letting her kid play in one of the functioning water fountains.
Good for those tour guides, it sounds like they really respect their town and don't want it to degrade into generic tourist slop. It's good to have standards of decorum and behavior and to enforce them.
It considered it's self the successor in the same way that russia considers itself to be the 3rd Rome.
