That might be difficult as many churches are polling stations and they'd have services on that day. They could effectively be closed for 4-7 hrs that day. For many, their service would trump any political duties you might feel they are owed.
I feel you with all of the same struggles except my situation is a bit trickier. I like playing with my GF so that means allowing her to watch and hear as I play too. So now, not only am I running cables to another room, I am also connecting steam link to stream the VR instance as well. Getting sound to come through is a hassle sometimes since SteamVR audio settings seems to reset my split audio feeds.
I am looking forward to this but also a much more streamlined future iteration that will still let me take advantage of my PC power.
This is interesting. My PC is in a little office; if I want to play things sprawled out, I've got a Steamlink (after they went on sale for $5) attached to my TV in the other room. If I wanted to use VR, I'd need to move the PC into the TV room and clear some space.
... or, I could run some long cables. Out of interest, how long are the cables in your setup, and how well does it work?
I'm running 25ft cables along the trim. I have some sticky cable tie mount pads + zip ties that I use to keep them in place. Not very sightly but it works quite well. Apparently you need some pretty specific HDMI and USB cables that can handle the signal.

I don't use my setup for VR, but I've got my gaming rig in the office extended to the living room TV.
USB and HDMI over 30 meters, with one active USB hub/HDMI extender connecting two 15 meter cables in the middle. The HDMI extender needed some fine-tuning, but after that everything just works as it should. Just need to remember to turn the hub/extender off when not in use or else it's quite a pointless electricity drain.
Tho I'm not sure how well a setup like that would work for VR, with latency being such an important issue and the VR setup introducing even more cable length to it all.
Yeah, it's the VR part that throws me for a twist. I had a 30m HDMI cable once; my video card/TV were only capable of 720p@30Hz over it, which obviously isn't a good match for VR. Apparently active cables are the way to go.
Buying more meats/cheeses over pastas and sauces. Buying Almond flour over AP flour. Buying Avocado or coconut oil over corn oil. This list goes on and on. Yes, you can spend a low amount on this diet but you really might be limiting your meal variety.
I think you're also overestimating the abilities and self-restraint of drivers to not use their phones while driving, to look both ways, to not go too fast, etc.
I asked what the tax implications were for performing a backdoor IRA conversion for an account I hold with them, and what they told me regarding tax implications was straight up incorrect. I did eventually speak to an accountant, which is how I wasn't burned by them.
I wouldn't have thought that but we're talking about smaller, "dying" towns here. Their financial/economic circumstances are going to be much different.
I really don't understand that. There's so many places across the U.S. where that's very decent money. Anyone who says otherwise is living in some kind of bubble. Exceptions would be if you're living in cities.
This similar mindset helped me break away from playing League of Legends all of the time. Just understanding that I've been through it all and nothing new or different would happen helped me to just move on. I didn't have to accept the toxic community.
I don't know what it is about league, but it seems to attract the absolute worst of people. Most of the gaming communities I am a part of are very welcoming and friendly. I went to a tournament for league once and the team that beat us came over to gloat and remind us of every mistake immediately afterwards. They only stopped once my wife started actually crying from the verbal abuse.
Needless to say, I cut my losses with that community.
My issue with it is that we aren't even at a point where UBI is viable. Yes, we have lots of automation but we still have many times more jobs still not automated. The experiment isn't going to show accurate results.
But I agree with you - there will still be work available in an automated society.
UBI doesn't need automation at all; the big question is if society is more productive with it or with traditional welfare. That's why experiments are needed.
The same amount of work with the same relative amounts of pay?
Doesn't that require far greater wealth distribution. Currently people mostly work for companies which make their capitalist owners rich. If the companies ditch workers and use robots then in order for the workers to also be employed the money from those owners needs to be spent on other things - the unemployed workers don't have money other than what they're spending with the pre-existing companies for food/clothing/housing and such.
Those currently earning off others labour will increase their take of profits; by what mechanism will that additional proportion of the wealth be made available for new industries. What industries will move the wealth from the Uber rich and distribute it, they're going to need to be large employers of many low-skilled workers.
I don't see how this can happen without a revolution such as UBI or a cultural shift to a communistic system, say, that can democratise the profits from robotisation.
Yes, the industrial revolution freed workers to take up new roles, but the lower population and higher availability of easily acquired resources fed in to that. The world is different now, I don't see the same happening again, the maths of that doesn't add up.
