Nintendo could pay the salary for one retro gaming hardware restoration YouTuber and they would be able to restore and set up every single console within months
An entire wing of the museum could show how they restore the old consoles, replace the capacitors, use new or new old stock chips to replace failed ones, de-yellow the console plastic, etc.

You can turn the extra wine into vinegar. it does this naturally if you leave it open for a few weeks. This depends on the alcohol content, and you can buy starter bacteria for the process to speed it up.
Ranking FORTY SIX different peanut butters. Checkmate, socialegumism.
What they did do was not pass any laws, nor even form a committee to investigate it, and then pass on the “solution” to for-profit companies that go into schools and give 5 year olds PTSD after the “drills” they make them go through.
I ran into the issue of my party members permadying when I first started playing and I had a rough going in FFT.
The FF Tactics games aren’t the best SRPGs, but I played them before any others so I’m used to the shortcomings. A few tips I remember helping are to let some characters die because you have a few turns to either end the match or revive them, take care of the archers and mages with characters that have high jump/move stats right away, and use a text guide. I can’t stand videos, but a quick primer on each story-mode battle gives you a good start.
You got my special interest in this jump started again, so I’m going back into FFT Advance on my phone emulator now
The story in the original FFT is great, as we at Hexbear have covered before.
I’d say play the PSP version emulated so you can turn up the speed, and it includes some better cutscene animations. Same with the GBA versions, emulate them and turn up the speed.
If you get lucky you don’t need to grind much if at all in those games, if you go the route of having a few extra characters with heals or the throw command. Then if you have a battle wrapped up you can spend the last few rounds attacking and healing each other to get extra experience points.
I only like heirloom catgirl varietals.

Doorbells. I had to replace a relative’s doorbell recently and the old one that lasted 60 years was built 10x better than the incredibly cheap model that all the hardware stores carry.
The options are either a cheapo doorbell that has an LED in it for no reason, a Ring surveillance doorbell, or a very expensive reproduction doorbell sold on some random website.
AllTrails and other apps like it put publically accessible trail/hiking maps into app form and have user reviews and trails rated for their difficulty. And they use GPS for trail navigation to help out inexperienced hikers or mitigate poorly maintained trail markers.
They also charge a subscription fee for features like the ability to download a map and use it while not connected to the internet. “Pay us or you’ll get lost in the woods” is profitable, apparently.
Apple might be embedding trail maps into Apple Maps, but this article doesn’t explain that.

I read a book called Good Intentions Aren’t Good Enough that basically went over all this.
It helped, I think. It’s been years since I read it.

Quora is Yahoo Answers, except the majority of posters there have contracted terminal LinkedIn brain and the site has the SEO of Pinterest.
I don’t think your theory about it being a CIA op is too far off - Jorban Peterman first got famous on Quora, and the power users’ politics range from libertarian hustle grindet to fascist.
But, the site would be no different whether it was ran by libertarian tech bros or the US state department.
If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.
It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.
The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.
