Doctors, etc. - why do you need to be close? 1-2 hr drive for something so infrequent does not seem to be an issue.
You learn to fix your own stuff.
At least during the pandemic, housing outside of city centers have been in high demand as people seek more land/space.
Caffeine can have pretty "bad" effects - issues with sleep, headaches, panic attacks, and all sorts of cardiovascular issues (increased heart rate, sweating, etc).
I think we are mostly in agreement - that any substance entering the body will have some effect.
The question is what effect, how much of an effect, and wether it is permanent/long lasting. Questions which require a study to answer.
That is, we should assume they cause long term impairment without the need for any kind of study?
$399 price point for a standalone unit. I didn't experience any motion sickness even though it was my first time with a real VR device.
Games like Superhot VR + Beatsabre + thrill of the fight, are awesome. and can't be made without VR.
Also, it has a passthrough mode - which I'd love to see improved - because it basically trumps AR. By adding high quality cameras in front of the headset you hit 2 birds with 1 stone.
