I would genuinely be more interested in seeing animals from before The Great Dying.

I love the thought, but it the thinking behind it is very utopian. It doesn’t match the real world. In my experience, if a company can’t make all of the profit from a thing they invest in, they simply won’t invest. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it’s what I’ve seen. The C-Suite and management would rather make 100% profit from living in the dark ages compared to “just” 99% of the profit from pushing the world forward.

Yes, that’s what a lot of rich people think. They’re helping people build character by acting like monsters.

I’m actually less concerned about the specific price point. They sold the cans as a volume sale rather than individual profit.

The practices and policies of their suppliers. If the supply is limited, let it be limited.

No, decades ago, they should have recognized that we should always focus on domestic production and domestic labor.

I don’t exempt a company from doing something if their supplier does it. They’re at least complicit.

Then they should have long since been growing their tea and fruit in upstate NY, as well as focusing on sourcing their water responsibly.

If the companies were responsible with all that recycling we’ve been doing over the last half-century, they wouldn’t need to import raw metal. We’d be able to reuse all that glass and metal.

I guess this might be the only way to get American consumers to understand that the point was always Reduce, reuse, and recycle in descending importance; rather than the other way around.

Why are they using anything imported anyways? All that the tariffs have done in my life so far is make me question what these “local” “American” companies have been doing. Mind you, two phrases have come back into my speech:

“No company is your friend, even if they make something you like.” & " Silence, brand!"

Companies affected by the tariffs are now among the companies whose products I actively avoid.

I have a simple way of getting around that - I only make directories in the GUI.

Blu-ray still has functional DRM. DVDs only, thank you. With backup on magnetic.

Mint comes with dir aliased for ls, and the only other one I regularly use is cls for clear.

Yes I grew up on DOS, how can you tell?

The enemy is already using them. Just not mostly for violence.

Not only would I want to pay the 2GP, I would ask my DM for quests in the city. Then again, I prefer urban campaigns.

Agreed, they’re pointlessly expensive.

They’re overcharging, but the problem is that with labor costs increasing, they would still be overpriced if they cut back to a really low (>1%) margin. COVID killed going out. Being able to go back to the grocery store after the lockdowns killed ordering in.

The whole hospitality industry needs to be replaced. It’s funny to watch it as it dies, though.

Oh good, M$ won’t try to break my machine anymore? Sweet, thanks for giving me a reason to use my local account only.

Honestly, it’s such a royal pain to do anything with audio in Android that isn’t VLC. I don’t bother with changing any of the audio settings, so it’s whatever the manufacturer says.

Being in marketing: BS.
