I really don’t see how.  What benefit is there to this? The meat tastes the same whether it is sliced in front of me or not, and it’s the same lousy Subway lunch meat anyway, but now with a doubled wait time.

Funny, the real robbery is how much they pay people to work there.

I really don’t understand the “psvr1 was $400" argument. It was $400 without any move controllers or a camera. The bundle that included those was $500 and the vr2 is seemingly a big step forward from a technical perspective.

Can you imagine if you were not allowed to enter city hall to renew a business license because you sued the city about a pot hole? Or if you sued Ford about a defective car, and could no longer get an oil change at the dealer? We’re not talking about a personal home here.

Sometimes I get confused between the concepts of “home” and “20,000 capacity sports arena.” Also “invite/welcome” and “admit a paying customer.”

So if your employer was in a lawsuit with Walmart, should you and every coworker of yours be banished from every Walmart and Walmart adjacent business in the country? Substitute any other major grocery or retail chain in there too. It’s not as simple as your statement makes it out to be. 

I’m right there with you... The feet things and folks going crazy for it is one thing but I also totally don’t get a streaming DJ.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s not like I don’t get the story, but I most certainly don’t understand why it was a big deal OR why it was reported on. A stranger was wearing sandals that were uncommon? Ok.

Pretty much all Americans: “Hahahahaha!”

This is a case of “an enemy of my enemy is my friend”, I think. Amazon’s dominance in ecommerce is scary, but the near-criminal behavior of PBMs and insurance companies is worse and I am rooting for Amazon to become a real change agent in driving down drug prices.

This is a nice start.   How many more drugs can they to this list.

I know it’s called “defrost” but living in a climate that doesn’t get frost often, I consider the defrost button my defog button. I don’t know if it’s using heat or AC, I’ve always just hit that button and the fog goes away pretty quickly.

I’m pretty sure nearly every episode of TLOU is going to end with tragedy. There will of course be brief moments of self reflection, happiness, and even accomplishment, but always tragedy.

That said, loved the episode.

Rye, which is pretty closely related to wheat, is actually a plant well known for being prone to harboring ergot fungi. If unnoticed and processed into flour it can lead to a real kind of poisoning known as ergotism after ingestion over time. (It’s not really a fungal infection, more like poisoning due to the…
