I think they meant it was a reasonable estimate of what they would have been charged.

I mean, we may not be seeing the software interface, but it seems like it’s pretty clear what’s going on from the context clues. It’s a combination of resistance band and generic shaped handheld thingy that, combined with the leg piece, lets it track your position and movements for exercise. Seems like a rather smart,

...it’s 11 years since this post and comment. I doubt we’re in the same situation anymore.

A few years back I had a string of car problems and had to rent cars a few times. I stuck with economy compacts because I didn’t need more, finding the Chevy Spark to be a shockingly fun little car. But when a 500 appeared in the lot I was super excited to get to take it out for a couple of days.

I’m all for experimenting, but sometimes you have enough information to know the outcome without wasting huge amounts of money. There were SOME unknown variables, yes, but the widest swaths of major elements were understood pretty clearly by scientists and engineers who all made it pretty clear this couldn’t work.

As a former vegetarian, and friend of many vegetarians, vegans, and vegan activists, again, many of them are at the point where they know this level of adherence is ridiculous and harmful to the cause. Feel free to be grossed out by it. But I’m telling what they’ve DIRECTLY told me and preached to others: being too

I’m probably going to try to swing by one today for the hell of it. I’m not overly fond of their food in general, but I want to try their prep. Would be nice to have one more fast food option I like.

Sorry, I have to go find my eyes after they rolled out of my head from your sanctimonious premise.

Because it IS vegetarian. The only way it is not is that it’s cooked on the same grill. But if your goal is to not contribute to killing animals, it achieves that goal. I know many vegetarians who are fine with that because their goal isn’t to be sanctimonious, but realistic. In addition, they’re insanely better for

Except this time around it's not just the vegans and vegetarians saying it, it's meat eaters. I'm a meat eater. I've had the Impossible Burger in multiple forms, and several of them are essentially indistinguishable.

Couldn’t we just have whatever it is, look and taste like whatever it is and still be happy about it?"

There are times in my life when I’ve wanted a BMW pretty badly, but realized I could never shake the reputation. Tesla owners are slowly and reliably destroying my desire to own one.

Cool. You’ve really got your finger on the pulse.

I’d make a snide remark, but you called yourself out at the beginning well enough, and I learned something. Obviously I was half-assing my language, as you likely knew, but now I know for the future.

I mean, if we get the repairs for free and our prior repair costs refunded, then what exactly are we losing by leaving the class action suit? That's the most we could have gotten out of that anyway. What more did we want, punitive damages for emotional suffering?

May have been $35. I don’t have the receipt handy. It was less than the cost of one Joy-Con. The standard pricing for Joy-Cons, unless I spent time waiting for a sale which I wasn’t about to do, was $50 for a Joy-con. Yes, a two-pack is $70, but there was zero logical reason for me to spend double the repair cost

Not exactly, no. They were still more expensive new. But I agree it was a bad deal. At that moment I was in a rush for a solution. As I said, I later switched to doing the repair myself.

Warranty was actually 90 days on the Joy-Cons purchased separately from the console. I pushed, but got nowhere. Gave up.

I have no idea what you’re on about. These aren’t general expectations I have, and they weren’t demands. In each case Nintendo offered, on their own, the most charitable solution as they felt the problem was likely to be caused by their own failures. My point is they’ve set a standard in the past of being a company
