Sorry, I was not clear. I have prime and almost everything has free shipping no matter how many items you buy.

What I mean is that, for smaller/cheapier items, they won't sell you just one, because you will immediately see you ARE paying the shipment. So they sell you "sets" of something and factor the shipping cost in, so that if you calculate how much is for each item, the shipment fee is spread out and become acceptable for you.

Many websites offer you free shipping above some order value, but you wouldn't shop on those sites so often and you wouldn't consider to buy something small because you are paying and shown the shipping fee. Amazon doesn't want you to wait too much between orders and doesn't want you to go somewhere else for smaller items but also doesn't want to pay for your shipment.

So in the end, we are paying for the shipment and also locking ourselves behind a monopoly just because it is convenient (at least I am, and I hate it)

Oh you are paying the shipping fee. It's only factored into the item price. That's why sometime you can't simply buy one item but at least two or five. They won't send you just one.

You believe it or not I keep learning new tricks and exploring new ways to solve old problems. If you factor in (no pun intended) mods like space exploration or Factorio 2.0 then it becomes more true.

I was able to "finish" Factorio 1.0 several times but never reached end game in both space exploration and Factorio 2.0 and still enjoy to play it several months straight every so often. I still have to visit Vulcanus and Fulgora because I was playing with friends and they "sent" me on Gleba, which it felt like playing Factorio for the first time; loved it!

Man! now I want to play it again hahahahah

If you mainly do work tasks it is perfectly ok. My main monitor is a 4k 60Hz, the second is a 2k 144hz. Both runs very fluid with almost no hiccups. My few colleagues adopted the same layout and are happy with it.

It is not ok for gaming though, especially FPS or other games with fast changing scenes.

I have 2 computers connected to an USB switch (not a port replicator but one that let switch the host of your USB switch) and the dock attached to this USB switch. This allows me to quickly switch all of my desk devices (multiple monitors, webcam, microphone, gigabit network, etc...) with one click. Also both computer just require 2 cables for everything: USB and power cord. It took some time to put it all together but it is now my definitive battle station.

Unfortunately the dock does not work well with Linux and I am not able to find a non displaylink dock that enables me to achieve all of this. It is just a driver problem, but still...

You are perfectly right, so a little research brought up the following:

The Hebrew word chûg in Isaiah 40:22 often referred to three-dimensional celestial or vaulted forms rather than a flat circle, a usage also found in nearby cultures. Moreover, the Dead Sea Scrolls, especially the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaᵃ) dating from the second century BC, include the entire chapter 40 of Isaiah, confirming the stability of this wording over more than two millennia.

It is still a stretch, but not so big IMHO.

I know many will not like what I am going to say but still ...

The Bible mentioned scientific facts long before they were discovered. For example, around 3,000 years ago, Job 26:7 said that God “hangs the earth on nothing,” describing the earth suspended in space—centuries before scientists understood this. Over 2,700 years ago, Isaiah 40:22 said that God “sits above the circle of the earth,” indicating its round shape, long before it was widely accepted.

Later, in the mid-19th century (around 1851–1852), the physicist Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) helped formulate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. As part of his theological reflections, he cited Psalm 111:2—“Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them”—to affirm that scientific inquiry only deepens reverence for a Creator.

There are few other similar examples like these in the Bible.
