The most common reason for nested simulated universes is for a realistic country-level map generation function.
To get realistic shapes you need to simulate a civilization’s history, so you need to…
I don’t have a car.
What I do have though, is the Austria-wide Klimaticket, that is valid on basically all trains and public transport.
Finally videoconferencing doesn't spin up the fans.
And there is this application-independent background blur thing in OSX for webcam/videocamera content. I like.
M1 MacBook Pro is really nice.
I forgot what it's like to use a silent, non-overheating laptop that is well integrated in a nice GUI.

It’s clear no-one tests this shit.
good quality headphones
I had my planar magnetic headphones for over five years now, and I still get amazed every other day of the sound quality, even in comparison to other relatively good sound sources like the Sonos speakers or Apple Airpods.
It's a very noticeable difference.

Chromebooks are very secure. This is not surprising. Prisons usually have excellent security.
“About to go live”
You nod sagely. They have finally found balance, meaning and purpose in life.
