I've been working my way through the tropico franchise and now playing T5 and the DLCs.

One thing i've struggled with throughout is how to save money: i'm not aware of there being any way to deposit money or set it aside, other than the only option coming to mind to start to build an item, place it away from other towns, then put this on the slowest option to preserve the funds.

The issue i have at the moment is that i need 350k to issue the tax cut edict.

How to do you seasoned pros manage this?

Edit: thanks to everyone who replied

Saw a video about this and then followed up by looking online: essentially has a good order book but is burning through cash quicker in pursuit of AI and data center development, plus it's heavily tied to Open AI which is also burning cash and not getting much in return.
here's another reddit thread about it

My questions are:

is the Cabinet Office planning a contingency?

Does it wait for another company to buy it in its entirety or could it buy the UK business as part of an investment strategy and free us from American Government interference i.e. they disagree with something UK Gov does and turn it off, which has happened to Belgium and France (different IT platforms)

on today's episode of "why is Mixcloud so rubbish" - i'm not getting any results when using the search facility: no artists, no tags, no users.

This is even though i follow a particular DJ and radio station

finally had enough of the relentless spamming you get you to spend money on unnecessary rubbish and have deleted Candy Crush after over 10 years

why are windfarms so useless and a waste of money?

Also, what's better: power station v geothermal (if no volcano)?

appreciate your thoughts

have tried to access Mixcloud this morning to get a message saying "something's gone wrong." This has been followed by pages either not loading, loading very slowly, or loading partially.

Also functionality is very slow or unresponsive.

This is on web browser

Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I listen to a lot of music, mostly through my laptop. I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to KEF LSX.

​

What are your thoughts on DACs? Are they worth it and do they make a (noticeable) difference, especially if you have quality speakers?

​

Chord Mojo 2 seems to be the most recommended on reviews and price seems to be good for budget

​

Im from UK and have no local hifi shop, so I'll be buying online

Does anyone use a DAC with their DAP?

​

If no, why not?

If yes, why and what do you use?
